Welcome to the 3rd Edition of the Ramadan Guide. By the Grace and Mercy of Allah, this edition marks the 3rd year of publication and I sincerely hope you will benefit from it throughout the blessed month of Ramadan. Once again we have tried to improve on our previous two editions to bring you a helpful guide to the charity campaigns during the month of Ramadan on Channels S, as well as useful guides and articles that will provide a good point of reference during the blessed month. The charity work that has taken place on Channel S over the last 4 years has been a success as a direct result of the unparalleled generosity of the Ummah. Scores of charity organisations have benefited through the LIVE transmitted fundraising appeals and has drawn communities from far and wide together to unite for one purpose – to advance our Ummah with good mosques, madrassa’s, Islamic schools and colleges and to reach out to the most needy and poor throughout the world. It is indeed a blessing from Allah Azzawajal that in the present times we are endowed with such technology that allows us to enjoin one another in acts of giving charity, both the obligatory Zakat and the voluntary Sadaqa. In 2009, despite the worldwide economic situation, Channel S set a new record by raising £1,011,000 in one night for East London Mosque. Channel S takes fundraising as a serious responsibility and continues to develop new strategies, ideas and technological means to enhance the experiences of its viewers, donors and fundraisers. In addition, Channel S continues to follow up each organisation with their development and application of funds in order to feed back to the community through a series of programmes entitled “Charity in Progress”. Viewers are hence given an insight into the way in which their donated funds are applied to successful projects. Channel S has bravely ventured further afield this year by bringing on board new campaigns on an international level. This year donors will be able to contribute towards Mosque projects in Australia’s Melbourne city and Canada’s Toronto city. In addition, Channel S has launched its new drive to help mosques in Europe under the banner of “Light Up Europe” – a collaborative fundraising campaign which will raise funds for . One single donation to this campaign will be divided equally amongst the four projects. The success of any fundraising appeal on Channel S is a success for our Ummah, one that can only get stronger when it remains united and conscious of its own needs. I hope and pray that once again this year we emerge successful in every campaign, engaging the community in what we do best.

Messages This is the third year of our extremely well-received Ramadan Guide and it is a pleasure to once again be embracing this blessed month to serve the community and help tackle the fundamental challenges they face. As always we are proud to be part of a community where generosity is extraordinarily abundant. Together, we leave no mosque, school, madrasa or charity behind and strive to expand the ways we can help those in need. Hence, this year Channel S has taken a bold step in broadening its horizons: with your open-handedness we will be providing aid across Europe – including Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Ireland. Furthermore, projects in Australia and Canada will also feature in this year’s Ramadan Guide. Channel S would like to stress that every project featured is hugely unique. Each project faces a distinctive list of challenges and goals, while each will create their own individual landmark. We hope the information provided in the Ramadan Guide will enlighten you to the amazing prospects of each and every project. It is, of course, by the power of everyone’s will that we can contribute this Ramadan. I hope that Channel S provides the ideal platform for people to fulfil their own challenges and goals – so that perhaps you can create your own personal landmark during this holy month. Ahmedus Samad Chowdhury JP Chairman Channel S, since its inception is being considered as the platform for British Bangladeshis to contribute to the development of Mosques, Madrassa’s and responding to humanitarian needs worldwide. In addition to provide transparency and accountability to the donor community – channel S contributes to strive to improve the service that it has been providing the Muslim Community over the past five years. The Charity team works with ambition, innovation and a sincere drive to make a positive contribution to the whole of society. I am especially pleased that Channel S has transcended the boundaries of the United Kingdom and has managed to make a valuable contribution to the building of mosques in Canada, Germany and Italy. This year more projects from outside of UK are included and in the future I hope that every European country will be able to access our services. This is the third year of Ramadan Guide and I hope readers will find it a useful reference guide throughout the Ramadan. The magazine intends to provide important information about the appeals that will take place and essential information about the blessed month. Inshallah, this year again the Ummah will unite and join hands to help those in needy around the world, mosques and education institutions. Mahee Ferdhaus Jalil Founder Chairman Ô Ô I hope that Channel S provides the ideal platform for people to fulfil their own challenges and goals – so that perhaps you can create your own personal landmark during this holy month.. Ô This year more projects from outside of UK are included and in the future I hope that every European country will be able to access our services. Ô As-Salamu Walaikum May the peace and mercy of Allah be with you. Ongoing global recession poised us through ups and downs in this year. Yet Alhamdulillah so far our community has been generous to donate in the name of Allah, the Almighty. As a community channel, we always report to you all our on screen activities. As part of this, we regularly bring you "Charity in Progress" where each and every charity organisation gives it's activity reports to the viewers. In addition to this, our charity team endlessly works round the year to make sure that all donations are spent correctly and accurately. Ramadan, the most blessed month is upon us again and we as Ummah no doubt will be donating as generously as ever. We at Channel S, are fully committed to provide you with the tools and knowledge to donate from the comfort of your own home. I pray that, Allah grant us all to be in good health, so that we can perform all our ibadah and seek forgiveness to be awarded a place in Paradise. Taz Choudhury Chief Executive To the Channel S Viewers, Staff, Management, Advertisers and to all Muslim families in the UK, it gives me great pleasure to express my sincerest best wishes for the sacred month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a time for family and friends. A time when Muslims around the world focus on their brothers and sisters, rather than themselves. It is a time for prayer, contemplation and reflection and a time to remember those who are less fortunate then ourselves. Channel S will dedicate the entire month of Ramadan to Charity Programming in our dedication to the Muslim Community. Our culture and society are stronger because of the contribution Muslims make every day, and even more so in Ramadan. May you all have a peaceful Ramadan and remember Channel S in your prayers. Abdul Haque Vice Chairman Channel S has gone from strength to strength in its endeavours to serve the 3rd Sector community in Britain and worldwide. Regarded as the number one platform for Charitable Campaigns, Channel S continues to strive to better its services to al users and maintain a stringent policy on transparency, openness and feeding back information to viewers and donors. The year 2009 was a huge challenge for the third sector as the world faced a major economic crisis, however, in that very year Channel S set a new record by raising £1.1 Million in one night for East London Mosque. This year too will be a challenge, as it has been a year of numerous natural disasters, starting from Indonesia in November 2009 and then Haiti and Bangladesh amongst many other countries. The world is witnessing a growing number of natural calamities and time and time again donors are being urged to help those that are poor and needy around the world. Channel S is working closely with the top international charity organisations in the UK to bring to the donors, reliable, efficient and trusted means of donating both sadaqa and Zakah during Ramadan. There is clearly a growing and unmet need for Mosques and learning centres in the UK and each project is important in its own right. We hope and pray that donors this year will give from what they can afford to continue the work in their localities, nationally and internationally.

Call will go forth to every believer to take to prolonged companionship with the Book of God. To a life of redoubled endeavor to become what God desires Muslims to be. Ramadan bids our hearts and minds, our society and polity to come to. Joyfully and dutifully the Muslims will respond. Every day will be spent in Fasting: from dawn to sunset, for one whole month neither a morsel of food nor a drop of water indeed, nothing shall pass down the throat; nor will sex be indulged in. Each night hours will be devoted to standing in prayers before Allah, reciting and reading His words as sent down in the Quran. During the day reading the holy text will be a cherished business. Fasting in one form or another has always been an important and often necessary part of religious life, discipline and experience in every faith. As a means par excellence to come nearer to God to discipline the self, to develop the strength to overcome the temptations of flesh, it needs no emphasis. Yet Islam turns fasting as it does every other act of worship and devotion, into something different and unique, the life-giving centre of life. The fulfilment of being guided by the Quran comes about when we strive to discharge the mission it entrusts to us. For having the Book of God — a weighty word — places on our shoulders a heavy responsibility: to hear is to make it heard, to know is to act, to have is to share, to say shahadah is to do shahadah. This means an unflinching pursuit to create a new self within us, and to create a new world of Quranic ideals outside us. When in Ramadan the first ray of Divine revelation reached the Prophet, blessings and peace be on him in Hira. Its message of Iqra was impregnated with world-shaking forces; he therefore trembled. The second revelation made things clear: “arise and warn; make the greatness of your Lord the greatest” (Al-Muddaththir 74:2-3); he then took up his task with a single-minded dedication and encountered stiff opposition. For the call to ‘let God be the Greatest’ (fakabbir) implied that all false claimants and every claimant is false to greatness, to unlimited power, authority and lordship over men and things, to obedience, loyalty and servitude from God’s creatures be challenged, and dethroned. Every moment in Ramadan engraves these lessons on our hearts and integrates them in our practice. The most elementary physical needs — food and water and sleep — are readily and joyfully sacrificed. Hunger and thirst are no more harmful; God’s displeasure is. Physical pleasures no more hold any lure; God’s rewards do. The scale of values is turned upside down. The measure of comfort and pain, success and failure is radically changed. Without this change none is entitled to take up Allah’s cause. To the uninitiated, or an outsider the devotional regimen of Ramadan may appear harsh and austere but in fact, it is eagerly awaited by believers. The sighting of new moon, the crescent that signals the beginning of Ramadan is met with celebrations and jubilation. Even children — who are not required to fast — look forward to their first experience of Ramadan fasting. The sick, too, remain restless for having been deprived of this blessing. Such jubilation and eagerness to sacrifice time, wealth, and life in submitting to whatever God asks of us and a regret and sorrow if prevented from doing so for reasons beyond our control, is highly desirable in the way of Allah. Whatever the physical discomfort, the mortification of flesh is certainly not a desired object in Islam. The gifts of God are there to be enjoyed but the limits by Him must also be strictly observed — that is another lesson of taqwa in Ramadan. As the sun sets the fast must be broken and sooner the better. All that became forbidden at His command becomes permissible again at His command. The month-long regimen of dawn-to-sunset abstinence from food, drink and sex, for the sake of Allah alone, internalizes the lesson that one must never touch, acquire or enter that which does not belong to one under the law of God. A man can no more remain a slave to his own self-indulgence as he prepares for the arduous journey on the road to his Lord. Imam Bukhari, the most renowned Hadith scholar narrates: Eyes should refrain from seeing evil, ears from hearing evil, heart from reflecting evil, tongue from speaking evil. The Prophet said: ‘One who does not give up speaking false words and acting by them is not required by God that he give up only his food and drink.’ On another occasion he said: ‘Many are the observers of fast who gain nothing from their fast but hunger and thirst’ (Darimi). As a collective experience Ramadan suffuses the entire life of communities with the spirit of taqwa; even the air, it seems is changed with a new fervor. In Ramadan we can see a beautiful example of how Islam unites the individual and the society under the sovereignty of the One Lord alone. 10 Ramadan 1 Ramadan Family Commitment Combined Appeal Bank Account Name Sort Code Account No IBAN Swift Code Address Tel Email Web : Barclays Bank Plc : Ramadan Family Commitment : 20-95-61 : 90386960 : GB62BARC20956190386960 : BARCGB22 : RFC, 26 Clifford Road, London, E17 4JE : 0208 523 1666 (Everyday 10am-5pm) :

[email protected] Brief History Becontree Heath Islamic Society was established on the 5th of June 2005. The charity came in to being due to the lack of Islamic education and spiritual facilities in Barking & Dagenham. We currently run a local temporary masjid and community centre based on Green Lane (Dagenham) which used to run community and Islamic services. At present, the premise is extremely small to accommodate all our services that our community in need. Progress & Ongoing Activities At the moment we are running 5 daily prayers, tajweed classes, tafseer and hadith classes and also bayaans after asar jammarented in a rented shop in Green Lane (Dagenham), the turn up of mosalies was more than we expected at jumma’h, there for we had to offer 2 jumma’h jammats in our Mosque Future Plan We are in proses to buy a new premises which will be freehold and the price for the premises is £500000 and this will allow us to provide a more wider range of services and activities in Islamic education, health, employment opportunities, funeral service and dawah project for nonmuslims.We need your generous support to secure the place for Masjid.

[email protected] This Mosque was built in 1999 on the basis of Daily prayer, Eid prayer, Friday prayer etc and Children Islamic Education. At that time, there was no mosque around the local area. Progress & Ongoing Activities The planning permission, granted to refurbish building is subject to an expiry date which is fast approaching and in order keep the permission valid the work must commence within the dates specified otherwise the permission may be revoked and new planning permission will have to be sought.

[email protected] Since 2001 daily prayers, Jummah and Eid prayers have been performed in an old church. In 2003 a house was rented to be used as a Mosque but couldn’t accommodate the growing Muslim population. Subsequently a fairly big warehouse was rented to be used as the mosque. This warehouse officially opened as a mosque on the 20th August 2009. The place is still unfortunately not big enough to cater for the growing Muslim community and accommodate on-going projects such as those mentioned below. Progress & Ongoing Activities Presently the activities include; Mosque, Evening Madrasha for children, Adult Islamic Education (Men and Women with segregation), CMC Sporting Club etc. Future Plan Plans are under way to buy land to build a Muslim Centre/Complex. The cost of securing the land is €800,000. The local community has already pledged the sum of around €500,000 in the form of donations and Qard-E-Hasana. If the remaining amount can be raised during Ramadan, the land can be secured and plans to build a purpose built Mosque can begin in earnest.

According to the German Central Institute Islam Archive, the total number of Muslims in Europe in 2007 was about 53 million, including 16 million in the European Union. It is estimated that Europe’s Muslim population will double by 2020. “Light Up Europe” is a new initiative by Channel S to serve the growing need of Mosques in Europe. This year Channel has joined hands with 4 mosques in 4 European countries to assist them in establishing in much needed Mosques and Islamic Centres.

Eid has become known either for material extravagance or extreme boredom. Some of us go an extraordinary length to buy the latest and most fashionable ethnic clothes money could buy but end up only wearing it once. Some of us spend the whole day binge eating from one auntie’s house to another. There are others who hire cars as long as a bus clogging up our roads and causing havoc in our neighbourhoods. Then there are those who just sit at home getting bored and making sure everyone else around are equally forced to boredom. This is not the way to celebrate Eid! Eid marks our happiness, sharing of kindness and celebration of spiritual achievements. Eid al Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a month of spiritual excellence leading to refined conscience and brilliant character. It provides a training ground for enhancing our ability to restrain and control our prime desires. The long days of abstaining from eating, drinking and sexual relationship has a higher purpose – developing God consciousness. It is an opportunity to rid ourselves of our age old habits; correct our mistakes and connect with Allah and fellow human beings. These are not small achievements! Eid al Fitr is marked by one of the most important features of Islam – charity. Our Eid prayer and celebrations are only validated in the eyes of Allah if we pay our individual due commonly known as Zakat al-Fitr before we stand for the Eid prayer. Blessed prophet advised us that every day of our life should include an act of charity even if it is simply saying a good word or even smiling. Eid is a day of giving and forgiving. Zakat al-Fitr helps cleanse and purify us from sins and enables the poor to arrange for Eid celebrations. We have a common misconception around Zakat al-Fitr. Many people pay upon arrival at the mosque for the Eid prayer, leaving very little time for the donations to reach the poor and the needy in time for Eid. Zakat al-Fitr should be given in advance of the prayer and with enough time for the poor and needy so that they can fully benefit from it. The Eid prayer is an integral part of the celebration. On the morning of Eid al-Fitr, before we go to Eid prayer we should eat some food to demonstrate the end of the month long fasting. Men, women and children are all invited to attend the Eid prayer in an open space and in larger congregation. It has become a common practice amongst our communities to leave women and children at home. This contradicts the teachings of our blessed Prophet who said even the menstruating women should attend the gathering even if they are not praying. Eid is about celebrating our deeper and more meaningful relationship with Allah. So on the day of Eid those people who engage in anti-social and unethical activities are, in fact, being disloyal to Allah. Eid is not a secular and materialistic celebration. It is a religious celebration that embraces the diverse cultural expressions of Muslims from every corner of this earth. Islam does not impose a monolithic culture; it only rejects a culture that clearly contradicts Islamic ethics and its moral framework. You could be Bangladeshi, Somali, Arab or English and celebrate Eid with your own cultural expressions in food, clothes and entertainment. What is not acceptable is when in the name of Eid celebrations some people organise drinking parties or immoral activities, this is far from the teachings of Islam and far removed from being Godly. Ramadan teaches us restrain and it helps us appreciate small things in life. It also empowers us to reject vanity and arrogance. It is perfectly Islamic to wear best clothes for Eid but it is not Islamic at all to spend excessively in buying brand new clothes that one would never use again. There is a commonly held view that Eid has to be celebrated in brand new clothes. Many poor families who barely have enough money to buy food and have no means of providing new clothes struggle greatly because of the social expectations and peer pressure created by this wasteful practice. Allah has equated excess and waste with being brotherly to the Devil. While Eid is celebratory it does not have to be spendthrift. The joy of spiritual fulfilment is celebrated in every corner of this earth in different forms by all communities. Unfortunately, due to ego, selfishness and ignorance the Muslim community finds itself divided even on this great occasion. It is outrageous that we celebrate Eid on different dates at an age when the modern technology and astronomers are able to calculate the exact moment the new moon is born. Yet, people quarrel absurdly over the visibility of the moon over a cloudy British sky! The blessed Prophet has advised us to celebrate Eid together and has made it forbidden for people to fast on the day of Eid. We long for the day when we will celebrate Eid together and not be kept divided by these superficial and ignorant arguments. Eid is not a day of boredom and dullness. It should be a day families come together and have decent and ethical fun. We should plan it in advance, go out with our families to places of interest and excitement, book activities or sports and enjoy the day. Eid is an opportunity to reconnect with our families by investing and nurturing the relationships including exchanging gifts and affection. Our blessed Prophet advised us to say to our loved ones that we love them and to show that we care for their well being by taking interest in their health and wellbeing. When was the last time you said to your parents or children “I love you”? When you don’t say it, how do they know you actually do love and care for them? Eid therefore is an opportunity to rejoice the fasting in the month of Ramadan, the great sense of achievements, of coming closer to the Almighty, the joy of spiritual fulfilment and atonement. It is a time for celebration but not a vacation from Islam. It is time for reconnection with friends and families and not time for insults or abuse. It is a day of real happiness and joy. It is also a chance to share the feelings with those around us. That is why we donate before Eid, it is our affirmation of our social responsibility and our demonstration of our commitment of care for the community in which we are living. Invite your neighbours, Muslims or non-Muslims to this great day of joy.

[email protected] www.ebict.co.uk Brief History In response to the increasing number of Muslims in the local community, members established the mosque in 2005, after 2 years of intense fundraising they established the Friday prayers at a local community centre and in 2009 they purchased a building for the mosque. Progress & Ongoing Activities The Mosque in its temporary state currently offers the Friday prayers and Ramadan tarawih prayers. The Mosque also offers a Ramadan meal service to the local community. All this is done by the fundraising efforts of the local members. Future Plan The plan is to complete the conversion of the new building into an Islamic centre, which will cost approximately £125,000. This will increase the number of facilities currently offered by the Mosque, which will include the establishing of 5 daily prayers, after-school homework support, Islamic studies and Quran classes.

Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589 50 Ô Fasting gives the believers a chance to feel what a hungry needy person feels when he or she does not have any food to eat. The believers can understand the importance of giving to charity and helping the hungry and needy people. Zakah Distribution of the Bounties of Allah Definition of Zakah Literally Zakah means blessing, purification, increase and goodness. It is so called as it blesses the wealth from which it is taken and protects it from misfortunes. Ibn Taimiah said, “The soul of one who gives Zakah is blessed and so is his wealth.” Technically Zakah is defined as “A determined portion taken from wealth and allocated to those deserving it, by a Qur’anic injunction.” Sometimes Zakah is referred to in the Holy Qur’an as Sadaqah (alms). The Qur’an says, “Of their goods take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf, verily thy prayers are a source of security for them.” (Surah Al-Taubah, No.9, Verse: 103). In an authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to his Companion Mu`adh, when he was sent to Yemen as governor, “Tell them that Allah has made Zakah obligatory for them, that it should be collected from the rich and distributed among the poor.” Calculating Your Zakah It is difficult to calculate the completion of one year on each item of wealth, because purchase dates may vary. To overcome this difficulty, a practical method is to fix a date, for example on the 1st of Ramadan, calculate your total wealth on that date and calculate Zakah, thereforth. 1. Zakah on Pure Gold and Gold Jewellery Zakah should be calculated at 2.5% of the market value as on the date of valuation (in our case we consider 1st of Ramadan). 2. Zakah on Precious and Semi-Precious Stones There is some contention on whether these are to be considered for valuation. In my humble opinion if they have a value, then they calculate towards your wealth, and it is on the wealth that Zakah is mandatory. One may calculate the saleable value of Items at hand on the date of Zakah Calculation. 3. Zakah on Silver Zakah is to be paid on silver in pure form or jewellery, utensils, decorative items and all household items including crockery, cutlery made of silver at 2.5% of the prevailing market rates. 4. Zakah on Cash and Bank Balances Zakah should be paid at 2.5% on all cash balance and bank balances in your savings, current or FD accounts. The amount technically should be in the bank for one year. Usually it happens that the balance keeps on changing as per personal requirements. You may make your best judgment and the best way is to pay on remaining amount on the day of calculation. 5. Zakah on Loans Given, Funds, etc. Zakah is payable by you on loans you have given to your friends and relatives. It should be treated as cash in hand. You may deduct loans payable by you to arrive at the net present value of your wealth. Zakah is payable on all Government bonds, public sector bond, paid-up insurance premiums, your paid-up portion of provident funds, Government bills receivables, etc. 52 Ô 6. Zakah on Landed Property Zakah is not payable on personal residential house even if you have more than one and meant for residential purpose only. Also Zakah is not applicable on property given on rent irrespective of how many. However Zakah is payable on the rental income. However if your intention of holding properties is to sell at a future date for a profit or as an investment, then Zakah is payable on the market value. Also, if your intention of holding properties changes in the current year, I.e. from self use to business then you need to pay Zakat on that property value 7. Zakah on Business This is for Business Persons only. No matter what business you are into, you’ve got to pay Zakat on all stock in trade. The stock must be valued at its landed cost price. If you have any bills receivable (sales given on credit) then you need to add the same towards calculations. Deduct the amounts due to your suppliers and deduct the loans on stock on the date of calculation. Dead stock should be calculated on scrap value or its saleable value. Damaged stock should also be valued at its scrap value. Be honest in the calculations, as Zakat is an insurance on your stock directly from Allah and who better an insurer than Him. There is no Zakat on factory buildings or any kind of machinery, but there is Zakat on products produced in the factory (i.e. finished goods value). Please refer to a competent scholar who can shed more light on your specific issues. 8. Zakah on Partnership Firms Zakah can be paid either by the firm or separately by the owners. If the firm is not paying, and the partner wants to calculate his share, he should take the amount standing to his capital and loan account as per the last balance sheet. Add his estimated share of profit till the date zakat is calculated. This can only be estimated as it is difficult to calculate the exact profit or loss between an accounting year. 9. Zakah on Agricultural Product Zakah is payable on all agricultural produce including fruits, commercially grown flowers, vegetables and all types of grains at the harvest time itself. The passing of one year does not apply for agricultural produce. If there are two or more crops on the same land per year, then Zakah has to be paid as many times on the crop, irrespective of the time. The formula for Zakah calculation on agriculture is as follows: • On crops dependent purely on rain water it will be 10% of produce. • On crops not irrigated through rain water but use canal water, tank water, bore well and open wells, the Zakah is 5% of the produce. • For crops dependent partly on rain water and partly on other water, the Zakah applicable would be 7.5% of produce. 10. Zakah on Animals On all grazing animals like goats, sheep, camel, cows, chickens, the consensus Zakah payable is one animal/bird for every 40 animals owned. However you may wish to give cash in lieu of the animal/bird itself. 11. Liabilities Deductions If you have any pending tax payable to the Government, as of the date of Zakah calculation, then the same may be deducted before arriving at the net worth. If you have taken any loans from any person or institution, and if you have not already deducted the same from any of the above sections, then you can deduct your payables over here. Please be truthful, as Zakah is a sure way of protecting ones wealth if Zakah has been paid on it regularly and fully. Calculate Your Zakah Estimated Value 00 00 00 Weight in GMS Price/Gm 1.

The believers can understand the importance of giving to charity and helping the hungry and needy people. R amadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar. The Islamic calendar, like the solar calendar has twelve months. The islamic calendar is based on the moon (Lunar) , while the solar calendar is based on the sun (Solar.) The solar calendar months are made of 30 or 31 days except for February. The Lunar calendar months are made of 29 or 30 days. Ramadan is sometimes 29 days and sometimes 30 days. Ramadan is also the month during which the Quran was given (revealed) to the prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him).Ramadan has one of the most blessed night of the whole year, the night of power or night of destiny, called in Arabic Lailat Al-Qadr. It is celebrated on the 27th night of Ramadan. Fasting means to stop eating and drinking during the time of the fast. Fasting begins at Dawn and ends at sunset. Dawn is the time of the day which is about one hour before sun rise and is the beginning of the first light in the dark sky of the night. If you are too young, you may not fast Ramadan. You have to wait until you are old enough to fast without hurting yourself. You can ask your parents for permission to fast part of the day for practice, until you are old enough to fast the whole day like the grownups. Fasting teaches the believer self control because the fasting submitter controls his or her desire or need to drink or Ô Ramadan competition eat during the fasting period. People who learn self control can resist wrong doing or temptation to follow their friends or peers just to avoid embarrassment or to be like everyone else. Fasting gives the believers a chance to feel what a hungry needy person feels when he or she does not have any food to eat. The believers can understand the importance of giving to charity and helping the hungry and needy people. Doing our fasting with the rest of all the believers in the world brings a feeling of unity and strength to all the submitters (Muslims in Arabic) in the world. Fasting together strengthens the whole family and makes them feel closer. God’s approval is the best reward for doing fasting. God does not need our fasting. All the benefits of fasting is for us and for our sake and we should thank God for them.

[email protected] It is neither their meat nor their blood that Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him [Surah:22 Verse:37] Qurbani Family Commitment Qurbani is an Islamic prescription for the affluent to share their good fortune with the needy in the community. On the occasion of Eid-Ul-Adha, affluent Muslims all over the world perform the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), by sacrificing a goat or sheep. The meat is then divided into three equal parts. The person who performs the Qurbani retains on part. The other is given to his relatives. The third part is distributed to the poor. This tradition continues even today. Faithful Muslims all over the world submit to the will of Allah SWT and sacrifice a part of their bounty for the benefit of the less fortune. QFC has been designed to make the giving of Qurbani easier for the Muslim community in UK & Europe. Channel S, on an annual basis brings together three or more well-known charity organisations in the UK to jointly administer Qurbani throughout the world and to distribute meats to poor people Qurbani F amily Commit ment QFC 2007 It was a combined appeal by Hefazothe Islam UK, Muslim Aid and IQRA international.

QFC 2010 campaign will begin approximately 6 weeks bewww.chsuk.tv/qfc fore Eid-Ul-Adha and further information will be available by visiting 53 Gift Aid is a scheme to enable tax-effective giving by individuals to charities in the United Kingdom. It allows individuals who are subject to UK income tax, to complete a simple, short declaration that they are a UK taxpayer. Any cash donations that the taxpayer makes to the charity after making a declaration are treated as being made after deduction of income tax at the basic rate (22% in 2006/7), and the charity can reclaim the basic rate income tax paid on the gift from HMRC. For a basic-rate taxpayer, this adds approximately 28% to the value of any gift made under Gift Aid. Higher-rate taxpayers can claim income tax relief, above and beyond the amount claimed directly by the charities. The rate of the relief for higher-rate taxpayers in 2006/7 is usually 18%, the difference between the basic rate (22%) and the higher rate (40%) of income tax, although recipients of savings income (taxed at 20% and 40%) and dividend income (taxed at 10% and 32.5%) can achieve higher rates of tax relief (20% and 22.5%, respectively). Originally, declarations had to be made in writing. Declarations can now be made verbally, but the charity must confirm the declaration in writing and keep a copy of the confirmation. If the taxpayer incorrectly makes a declaration, the charity is still able reclaim the tax that should have been paid on the gift, but the individual is required to pay the same amount to HMRC to make up the difference. Gift Aid can only be reclaimed on money donated by UK taxpayers. Non-UK taxpayers can make donations but the donation will not be eligible for a tax reclaim from HMRC.
