Comments Off on Night 21 – VIDEO – Laylatul Qadr – Dr. Yasir Qadhi – Memphis, Tennessee
Go by the dates of your community. The world of the unseen doesn’t operate limited to our time/space reality. Still, regardless of your time zone, do extra worship on all ten nights. https://t.co/1mXyrkl4Lh
Recorded during Ramadan 2014 inside Memphis Islamic Center,
Explains how best to spend one’s time during Laylatul Qadr . . .
Why Laylatul Qadr is called so and what are its merits?
What kind of worship we need to observe during the Night of Qadr?
Which night is most likely to be Night of Qadr?
And why should we care, in the first place, about this night?
Dr. Yasir Qadhi mentions 4 meanings of the word Qadr and Night of Qadr:
Qadr means importance, dignity and honour.
Laylatul Qadr is called so because it is a very important and dignified night.
The second meaning is close to the first but it is related to believers who worship Allah on this night;
they are dignified and honoured people.
Qadr also means constriction;
Laylatul Qadr is called so because a huge number of Angels come down in this night to Earth.
It will be congested with honourable angels.
Qadr means predestination;
on this night Allah decides and decrees what will happen in the next year.
Tonight it begins – the most blessed nights of the year. No matter how the first part of Ramadan went, now is the time to give it our utmost. Sacrifice as much as you can for worship in upcoming nights – for it's not a sacrifice, but the greatest investment you can possibly make.

Disbelievers who are PLOTTING to KILL US using the Corona Virus.
KILL US by creating an ILLEGAL COVID-19 Super Spreader event.
STATEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The ‘Proper Eid Prayer’ event is an unsanctioned gathering that threatens the health and wellbeing of Muslims. Read more below. For more information please visit our website: https://t.co/4lelbA7Yl7pic.twitter.com/lu2OXKuT9x
— Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force (CMCTF) (@cmcovidtf) May 1, 2021
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Abundant Peace, Blessings and Salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
We, at the Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force, supported by the National Council of Canadian Muslims,
the Muslim Council of Peel,
the Muslim Medical Association of Canada,
and the Canadian Council of Imams
have reviewed an announcement circulating within our communities regarding a gathering labelled as “Proper Eid Prayer” being organized in Mississauga, Ontario,
in contravention of public health orders.
This event threatens the health and well-being of Muslims
and is
apparently being hosted by a group with a non-Muslim leadership and notorious anti-masker conspiracy theorists.
One of the key articles of our faith is the preservation of life.
Our rich history has a clear precedent of quarantine measures,
restricting mobility during plagues,
taking vaccines and deferring to health experts amidst a health crisis.
We are proud of our Canadian faith leaders and community members as they continue to lead the way in keeping our homes,
mosques,
communities and country safe by following all public health directives.
At the same time we are in great distress as our essential workers and racialized community members,
especially within the region of Peel,
continue to disproportionately pay the ultimate price during this deadly third wave.
We suspect that some media agencies may take this opportunity to report on this call for the defiance of public health orders.
As a measure of caution,
we highly recommend they do their research,
do not re-share information that propagates falsehoods
and identify this group’s call for what it is – a non-Muslim led, anti-mask, anti-lockdown gathering.
The UNSANCTIONED Eid Al Fitr Gathering advertising looks like this :
( minus the red I scratched out )
IGNORE THE ABOVE ADVERTISING wherever you find it.
It is FITNA
@cmcovidtf just released a critical statement. We are proud that our communities & faith leaders continue to follow the #PublicHealth measures despite the hardship of doing so in #Ramadan. Always remembering that preserving life is integral to our faith! https://t.co/BEb8l0HXKo
When Ramadan ends, Muslims celebrate with Eid (includes morning prayers). But in this third COVID-19 wave, this “Proper Eid Prayer” Mississauga event is reckless & endangers the health of the ENTIRE community.
Thank you for releasing this statement. These types of actions are not aligned with Islamic ethics. InshAllah we will all unite together in eid prayer once it is safe to do so ❤️ https://t.co/i3aP5hL2vd
April 30, 2021 – Given the current stay at home order expiring on May 19, 2021,
the Muslim community will be observing its Eid celebrations at home.
There are no gatherings planned in Islamic Centres or in outdoor parks or facilities.
The Muslim Council of Peel maintains that we have a duty to abide by the laws and regulations under this emergency order and are committed to ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being.
We encourage all Muslims to safely celebrate within their households.
Do not participate in any gatherings organized in violation of the stay-at-home order.
Do not promote participation in any such advertised gatherings.
The President of the Muslim Council of Peel,
Imam Ibrahim Hindy said:
“We are not organizing any outstanding park event to celebrate Eid.
We do not encourage anyone to attend any such event.”

Normally a Masjid, transformed these days into a Pop Up Vaccination Clinic.
Where you show up with your Vaccine Booking information to sign in and be directed to a Vaccine Station.
The Vaccine Station where you sit beside a trained vaccine doser and get the jab.
These are the physically distanced chairs you sit in for the full 15 minutes after you get your first dose.
A safety precaution.
Most people feel fine after getting their first vaccine jab in their upper arm.
This is where Muslims have an opportunity for Dhikr, The Remembrance of Allah SWT, inside a Masjid this Ramadan.
Make those minutes count !
Today the @ICCO_MAC with @regionofpeel welcomed several hundred 18+ residents of Peel and successfully provided them with vaccinations. Thank you to all the volunteers! pic.twitter.com/wCjP4PP17F

Alhamdulelah today's launch for the MAC ICCO mobile vaccination clinic was a success. 100% of the planned vaccine doses were given today. Today was a soft opening for the clinic with reduced numbers and it worked smoothly. PPH staff, nurses & MAC volunteers did a great job. pic.twitter.com/NgGDCGDtkY

Thank you MPP @krasheedmpp & MPP @SherefSabawyPC for sharing this special moment with our community launching the MAC ICCO Mobile vaccination clinic. Unfortunately they didnt catch the registration window so they were not vaccinated today. However, they are keen on vaccination. pic.twitter.com/H5FlZ2M9GU

The mobile vaccination clinic is an excellent initiative to make vaccination accessible to more people. It also used a community partnership model that help educate and remove barriers against vaccination. Thank you @ONThealth@ROPpublichealth for this successful partnership.
