And give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin. Surah An-Nisā’ (4:2)

Abu Huraira(RA) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect.(MusliM,Book 33 Hadith 6422)

Narrated AbudDarda’: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: the similitude of a man who emancipates a slave at the time of his death is like that of a man who gives a present after satisfying his appetite. [Abu Dawud 024:3957]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “It is enough sin for a person, that he ignores those whom he is responsible for.” [Abu Daud]

Allahumma-ghfirli dhanbi wa-wassi’li fi dari wa-barik li fi rizqi.
“O Allah! Forgive my sins, give me abundance in my home and bless me in what you have given me.”

The Prophet (S) once explained that our sins are washed away when we make wudu just as dead leaves fall from a tree when it is shaken, if we take care to make our wudu properly and with a sincere intention. As we put aside our work for a few minutes in order to pray, we ask Allah to bless whatever wordly activities we are leaving for his sake.

“If Allah helps you none can overcome you, and if He forsakes you, who is there, after Him, that can help you. And in Allah (alone) let believers
put their trust.”[3:160]

Hope everyone is doing great by the grace of the Almighty allah.

As most of you may know, our community in Markham Ontario has acquired a land for the Masjid and we have gotten the approval by the city for the site plan. A group of residents from this neighborhood don’t like the idea of a Mosque and have started a campaign to reverse the decision of the city by citing traffic, parking, against cultural heritage etc. They have petitioned the Mayor and the councilors to reverse their decision and there is a serious threat that they may be able to derail the project or delay it.

There is a petition that has been started to show our support, please sign it and forward to all your friends and families, also post in any social media websites that you can.

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/say-yes-to-the-mosque-on-16th-avenue-no-to-bigotry.html

The people opposing it have started a petition and have already gotten over 3500 signatures and are presenting this to the city every week. They are spending their time, money and effort to oppose this project, lets us at least show our support by signing the petition.

The masjid will be built with or without our support, it is up to us to be counted among those that have done all that it takes to support it. Please sign and forward this to others. I have about 50 people on this list, if you can each send it to 50 other people inshallah in a few days we will be able to exceed the opposing petition and present it to the city.

Wassalam

“Do not withhold your money; or else Allah will withhold His blessings from you. Spend (in Allah’s Cause) as much as you can.” (Bukhari)

And were it not for Allah’s grace upon you and His mercy in this world and the hereafter, a grievous chastisement would certainly have touched you on account of the discourse which you entered into.
