Coming this November: PART 2 of last months talk: Whenever you see troubles around the Muslim World or in your local area, you always hear the cries from Muslims that there is lack of unity amongst us. The usual slogan “what we need is unity”.

This Sunday talk will focus on the importance of unity, where should it start and what roles do we play as an individual. The talk will also cover what we can achieve when we have unity and what are the consequences of not having unity both from a worldly and Islamic point of view. So do not miss this important talk due to take place this Sunday 3rd of October at the quad (4:30pm).

Date & Venue
July 4, 2010, The Quad in Carshalton (click here for map)

Coming this May: This country suffers from a major crisis in the breakdown of family life hence the country is sometimes referred to as ‘broken Britain’.

When family life breaks down, this not only affects the Individuals involved but also affects the society as a whole. Islam places great importance on the family life, due to the impact it has on society.

There are clear roles and responsibilities placed on Individual within the family in Islam – The ‘husband’ & ‘wife’ have their rights and responsibilities towards each other, the children and parents also have their rights and responsibilities towards each others. Only by maintaining this can we have a strong and balanced family life. The alternative is chaos and the eventual breakdown of family life in the society.

This Sunday’s talk is especially organised as a reminder to everyone (according to Quran and Sunnah) of their rights and responsibilities towards each other so that we can continue to function as a strong family unit unlike the wider community. Only when we follow the guidance of Allah and His Messenger we can truly succeed.

Please try to attend.
