Eid Mubarak 2012

Eid Mubarak 2012

Muslims around the world welcome the day of Eid victory (Eid al-Fitr) with joy after carrying out a full month of religious fasting in the holy month of Ramadan as a Muslim duty. In the month Muslims are trained to work hard to practice their religion sincerely. Not only learning of hunger and thirst, but also trained to always control their emotions.

Muslims who had reached the point of victory in the month of Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr) are that they are capable of implementing positive habits as well as in the month of Ramadan as the fourth pillar of Islam to be applied to other months. Such as performing prayers at night, reading the Qur'an and dhikr expect ridlo and forgiveness of God.

Fasting (Shaum) in Islam has rules adapted to human nature and does not intend to trouble or torment humans. Muslims are required to fast before dawn meal (eat in the morning) before the Fajr prayer, and they have to break the fast at Maghrib prayer. Muslims are forbidden to fast without break (no food or drink).

Before the Eid prayer, Muslims are required to issue a tithe (Zakat Fitrah) to be distributed to the poor in order to help others and to clean up property owned before God someday.

May this Eid 2012 make us clean from all sins and mistakes we have done in the past. May God always gives the right and forgive our sins. Amin.

At the center of this monumental change stood Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his devoted companions. The early years of Islam were marked by profound struggle, sacrifice, and perseverance, as they laid the foundation for what would later become the Islamic Caliphate. The Revelation and the Beginning of Opposition In 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) in the Cave of Hira near Mecca. At the time, Mecca was a center of trade, tribalism, and polytheism. The Prophet’s message of monotheism—worshiping one God—directly threatened the socio-economic and religious structure maintained by the Quraysh tribe, the ruling elite of Mecca. When the Prophet began to openly preach Islam, the opposition intensified. He called for justice, equal...

The world needs The Islamic Research Foundation

Soon the year will be changed to the new year 2013, there are many people who are used to commemorate every turn of the new year, and even now they are preparing for the celebration of the new year 2013 . For Muslims in the world, every turn of the year is the extension of the distance from the birth of the prophet Muhammad. The farther away from the birth of the prophet Muhammad, the more people in the world away from the teachings and Aqeedah carried by him. There are more and more people who do not know Koran the holy book , there are more people who do not know the hadith, not only non-Muslims but also people who claim to be a Muslim. They know Al-Quran and Hadith but did not understand the meaning, rules, and instructions inside them. They know the mosque and the Kabah but many of them do not perform daily prayers. They know Ramadan but there are many people who do not perform fasting in the month. Why? Who is to blame? Not all Muslims understand the rules of the life of ...
