Ramadan 5, 1437 June 10, 2016

T The blessed month of Ramadan Rama an has already begun to give aanother golden opportunity for selfeevaluation and spiritual growth. Ramaddan is the ninth month in the Islamic ccalendar, which consists of days in months cycle. The month is spent in tthe hot pursuit of Ta wa by the devout Muslims all around the world for one M month every year. m ince the Islamic calendar is lunar, aand the days begin at sunset, so there iis a slight chance of one-day in countiing error depending on when the new moon is first sighted. The date on the m solar regorian calendar varies from yyear to year. The month moves in the regorian calendar appro imately ddays annually. illar of slam: asting during this month iis one of the five pillars of Islam and is kknown to be month of re ection and compplete submission to od lmighty. astiing in the month is an essential part of ffundamental Islamic obligations.

The beginning and ending of the month T may vary from country to country dem ppending on the moon sighting.

IIn Islam, fasting sawm is abstaining or rrefraining from certain things for a speciified period of time. or e ample While ffasting, a Muslim is re uired to abstain ffrom se ual intercourse, food and drinks oof all kinds right from dawn to sunset ttime preceded by the intention iyyah .

The mandatory awn to dusk fastT iing starts before the unrise a er and eends with Iftar at the unset Maghreb .

lims to broaden their compassion for the ungry and the less fortunate.”

That is why, the Muslims tend to generously donate to charity. It s pleasing to know that hyper-participation in food drives for the poor during the month is uite usual, as Muslims are motivated to give out for the needy and hungry for the entire year.

The ur an is recited by the Imam during congregational taravi prayers every night throughout the blessed month.

Essence of fasting during Ramadan and its goal is summed up in the Qur’an just in one word: “Taqwa””O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may attain Taqwa.” (Qur’an 2:183).

Ta wa is both an attitude and a process. In fact, the proper attitude of the Muslims toward llah WT denotes nothing but love, devotion, and fear.

This clearly indicates that Ramadanfasting like other religious practices in Islam is one of the best sources available to generate moral e cellence to appropriately handle the daily routine matters including social interaction. eyond doubt, one can achieve the best moral values and can easily become a role model for others provided there is no hypocrisy or double standards.

If we are sincere towards llah WT, fasting in Ramadan helps us to improve self discipline and awareness about the plight of those have-nots who su er from constant hunger and deprivation.

Indeed, the sense of spiritual fulfillment through a state of T W ” becomes attainable with month long

fasting wor -out during the blessed month, because the first verses of the holy uran were actually revealed to our beloved Prophet Muhammad P in Ramadan.

And, Laaelatul- adr is remembered as being the anniversary of that actual day, when the uran was actually presented to Prophet Muhammad P . lso, the aaelatul- adr” is known as the ight of Power” which usually falls on any odd dated night within the last days of Ramadan. s sawm in rabic means refrain,” so Ramadan provides the Muslims with the best opportunity to learn that there is a lot more than ust the disallowed eating or drinking between the unrise and the unset. ortunately, the blessed month empowers the Muslims to be brave enough to restrain themselves from devilish or sinful activity including backbiting, gossiping, looking immorally at forbidden things and using obscene words. Thus, taking part in the mandatory practice of Ramadan fasting through o ering the prayers on time, eating and drinking as prescribed makes the Muslims well disciplined and Mutta ee od fearing . ealth Bene ts: Ramadan fasting definitely helps in ridding our bodies of stored poisons, including addictive substances, and we feel enabled to adust our craving and upgrade our tolerance level. Most of all, one s mind becomes purely clean and clear of all lustful thoughts after attaining Ta wa. mong the health benefits of Ramadan fasting, is the rela ation period for stomach, digestive system, refining

system, heart, circulatory system, the kidneys and the list goes on and on. s claimed by medical scientists and doctors, Islamic ast is also a kind of psychological treatment, because it provides spiritual enhancement and strengthens the feeling of being free from physical limitations and habits and addictions.

It boils down to the fact that Ramadan fasting” is not only a time during which people deprive themselves from physical pleasures, but it s also an important occasion to practise morality through self-restraint for attaining the spiritual growth. n nutshell, the best use of precious time is connecting with llah through focusing on the ur an and o ering regular five times daily prayers followed by travee prayers, helping others, feeding the hungry and staying on the righteous path.

It s the best time to get rid of hot temper, immoral negligence, la iness, and impatience. et s practise only the opposite of bad habit every day until the end of month and thereafter as well. The last ten nights this month are the most precious times for supplication, self-analysis, re ection and serious thought. ince the blessed month make Muslims feel morally re-conditioned and rebooted, they must maintain the momentum of carrying out their self-check up through increased religious dedication during the remainder of the year till ne t Ramadan.

By: Gulshan Aalani In criptural religions the spirituality and practicability goes hand in hand. aith and spirituality come only through observing the divine commandments. bservance of ivine rituals is a sign of pure faith-Imaan, which means one believes categorically that Creatoralone is deserving of worship.

The first obligation of any eliever is to establish the worship of and obedience to I law. iscarding and replacing the divine commandments by the man-made rituals definitely leads to the paganism, unaccepted by llah-Creator.. ame ible Message.

Real worship means desisting from violating the law of and pursuing the activities that pleases the creator and not the human gods who are usually anti, anti- criptures, anti-Prayers, and doesn t like to pray, which, indicates they are atheist, playing treacherous tricks to keep the innocent people away from llahCreator. uch fraud is dangerous for the ouls, and worst than the lies of aesh- S S. fter re ecting Islam, llah, uran and ma or commandments, one cannot claim to be the Muslim .The title Muslim is given by ivine to those who follow IM and Islam the religion of Prophet braham that is ust one Islam and not kinds or any kind of Tari a. Islam is taught by the niversal Messenger Muhammad W according to the order of llah sent through ngel abriel. o one is given the rights or authority to modify it or turn it into a counterfeit Islam, or change the ivine protocol. s a law of the land it is a criminal activity to sell the counterfeit goods

and so similarly to use the fake I of Islam and Muslim for the man-made religion is a criminal act against and a heinous sin.

Conse uently, Islam considers the bond of faith to be the focal point which serves as the criterion by which people come together oneness of and oneness of people.

That could only be achieved by making the covenant with the Creatorand not by following the human gods, replacing the true who has made it clear that there is no intercessor between IM and mankind. I contact line is open , all is given free of charge, free forgiveness of sins, nor one needs to be a paid member of Ma lis to buy the tickets to enterParadise that is owned by Creator and not by any human gods. slam has removed the idea of untouchable, segregation and discrimination. Islam promotes neither nationalism nor favoritism, which is proven at the time of a and in the daily Muslim alat- ama taught

by Prophet W where lack, White, rown, the Jews, Christians, indus, Pun abis pray shoulder to shoulder to ne after accepting the final Revelation and all the iblical Prophets mentioned in the uran.

This shows the beauty of true oneness of community, walking on the same ridge. Ironically there have been numerous attempts to misinterpret the uran as to one s evil desires, also declaring it as the wrong uran, by those who has no recognition or knowledge of Creator of the niverse who punishes for lying..

I order uran - o call not on any other gods with , or thouwilt be among those under the penalty”.

Chairman of the ational isaster Management uthority M Ma or eneral sghar awa said on Monday that Pakistan was prone to earth uakes and oods and faced enormous challenges in view of climate change. peaking at the inaugural session of a media workshop on reporting disasters organised by the M , he said, Pakistan stood eighth among high- risk countries with respect to climate change. nderlining the need for utilisation of resources for risk reduction during natural calamities, he said, the national ood protection plan had been finalised and hope-

fully it would soon be approved. e said media reports help rescuers to reach the calamity-hit areas while stressing on an early response in emergencies. Media should play its role by airing public service messages, he said.Presently the meteorological o ce did not have the capacity to forecast high- intensity storms, he said, adding I know about the limited resources with which the Met o ce has been working”. The threat of climate change is hovering over us which will stay,” he said.

i uestioning the veracity of the government s statistics during the second day of debate on the federal budget, the opposition in the ational ssembly pointed out shortcomings in the nance bill and predicted that the illusion of stability o ered by the finance ministry would soon come apart at the seams.

The former ngro Corp C delivered a well-craf ted rebuttal to the finance minister s budget address that was far less didactic than Isha ar s argon-laden monologue. uring his speech, he informed the house that the government had incorporated a rider into the new finance bill, to amend the Income Ta rdinance, , which o ers cover to o shore companies.

s homeowner Myles u faces a -percent hike to the property ta he pays on his house in urnaby, ust a few blocks north, condo owner Rick Mc owan is getting a ta break. uch ta tales are common across Metro ancouver as skyrocketing prices play havoc with property assessments, especially for single-family detached homes, prompting mayors to call on the provincial government to allow di erent ta rates known as mill rates for houses and condominiums. ll residential properties in .C., whether single- or multi-family, are covered by one city-wide mill rate. What we re looking to do is have the opportunity to separate the mill rates if a city wants to do it” so that single-family homeowners don t bear too much of the ta burden, angley City Mayor Ted chafer said this week.

We re kind of saying everyone should pay a little bit. We re trying to make it fairer on all property owners.” Property ta increases are based on how much the assessed value of a home has risen, year-over-year, compared with the municipal average. urnaby, for instance, saw an assessment increase of per cent on an average , home this year, so if a homeowner s assessment has also gone up in that range, they will likely pay this year s ta increase of . per cent. If their increase is higher, they will pay more. property assessment that is higher than in previous years does not necessarily mean a higher ta rate. Mc owan s Metrotown condo, for instance, saw a higher assessment this year, but he will be paying lower ta es. The story is similar across the region. In Richmond, the average residential property ta rate increase is . per cent this year, but most condominiums even high-end ones will see ta es go down, according to city spokesman Ted Townsend. Meanwhile, almost all of Richmond s single-family homes, regardless of neighbourhood, saw ta increases this year, he said. City of orth ancouver Mayor arrell Mussatto supports the idea of creating separate mill rates. In an emailed statement, Minister of Community, port and Cultural evelopment Peter assbender said overnment is aware of concerns that property assessments have increased significantly in some areas of the province, particularly Metro ancouver.” ut he added that municipal governments already have tools to mitigate the e ects of dramatic increases in market-driven assessed values and in keeping property ta es at a manageable level.” istrict of orth ancouver Mayor Richard Walton said his own property ta es this year will increase more

In addition, bdu warns that some in urope are uestioning the wisdom of investing more funds in the occupied Palestinian territories particularly in light of the austerity measures implemented following the debt crisis throughout the region and the wave of refugees from yria, Ira and fghanistan”.

Ramadan 5, 1437 June 10, 2016

F A I T H

arrated Ibn mar I heard llah s postle saying, When you see the crescent of the month of Ramadan , start fasting, and when you see the crescent of the month of hawwal , stop fasting and if the sky is overcast and you can t see It then regard the crescent asting of ahih ukhari. month of Ramadan as of days ”.

Ramadan Generosity in Action By: Imam Zaid Shakir

W

e often focus on the fasting and Tarawih prayers during Ramadan. owever, the blessed month is also a time when generosity is greatly emphasi ed. ne should try to be e ceedingly generous during this month. In this section pp.

Ibn Ra ab e amines the generosity of the Prophet . This e amination is an encouragement for the believers to be e cessively generous during the blessed month of Ramadan.It is related in the two sound books al- ukhari and Muslim on the authority of Ibn bbas, may llah be pleased with him and his father The Messenger of llah was the most generous of people. e was especially generous in Ramadan when the ngel abriel would come and review the ur an with him. abriel would to review the ur an with him every night during the month of Ramadan. erily, when abriel would come and review the ur an with him in Ramadan, the Messenger of llah was more generous than the freeblowing wind.

Imam hmad records this hadith with the additional words at its end, e was not asked for anything e cept that he gave it.” enerosity is e pansive and abundant giving. llah is described as generous. We read in the compilation of Imam al-Tirmidhi, from the transmissions of a d bin bi Wa as, that the Prophet said, llah is generous, e loves generosity e is noble, e loves nobility.” is compilation also mentions, on the authority of bu harr, on the authority of the Prophet narrating directly from his ord my servants If the first of you, the last of you the living of you, the dead of you the intact of you, the decomposed of you were to gather in a vast plain, and every individual were to ask of me his wildest dream, and I were to grant everyone what he asked, that would not decrease my dominion as much as the water taken from an ocean one of you were to pass by and dip a needle into it and then e tract it. That is because I am generous, e tant, and glorious. I do what I please. My giving is a word and my punishment is a word. My command to something when I desire it is but to say, e, and it is ” In a well-known narration, udail bin Iyyad mentioned, very night llah proclaims, I am generous, I love generosity I am noble, I love nobility. ” llah is the most generous of all. is generosity is amplified during certain special times such as the month of Ramadan. It is in the conte t of discussing Ramadan that he has revealed, When my servants ask about Me, verily I am close by. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he invokes me. ur an In a hadith mentioned by Imam al-Tirmidhi and others, the Prophet mentioned, uring it Ramadan a caller cries out, Those desiring good come forward, and those desiring evil stay away. llah has those e liberates from ell, and that occurs every night during Ramadan .” In that llah has predisposed is Prophet upon the most perfect and noblest character traits, as is related in a hadith from bu urayra, from the Prophet that he said, I have only been sent to perfect the noblest of character.” Imam Malik mentions this in the Muwatta. The Prophet was indeed the most generous of all people.

The Prophet possessed these praiseworthy ualities even before Islam. wing to this, hadi a said to him, when he initially received revelation, I swear by llah, e will never disgrace you ou uphold the sanctity of blood relations, you honor the guest, you bear the burdens of others, you spend on the deprived, and you assist people in the face of calamities.” fter revelation these ualities were greatly amplified in him .

It is related in the compilations of al- ukhari and Muslim, from nas, The Messenger of llah was the nicest, bravest, and most generous of all people.” nas also relates, fter Islam, the Messenger of llah was never asked for anything e cept he gave it. man came to him and asked him for a valley filled with livestock and he gave it to him. e returned to his people and said.

People ecome Muslim, for Muhammad gives like a man who does not fear poverty.” nas further mentions, If it were the case that a man became Muslim, not desiring anything other than worldly gain, he would not reach the evening e cept Islam was more beloved to him than the world and everything on the face of the earth.” Imam Muslim also relates, from

afwan bin mayya, The Messenger of llah started giving me gifts while he was the most hated of people to me. e continued to give to me until he became the most beloved of people to me.” Ibn hihab aluhri mentions that in the aftermath of the attle of unayn he gave afwan one hundred sheep and goats, then another hundred, then yet another. In al-Magha i, al-Wa idi mentions, n that day the Prophet gave afwan bin mayya a valley filled with camels, sheep and goats. afwan said, This level of generosity could only be pleasing to a prophet. ” In the compilations of al- ukhari and Muslim, it is related by Jubayr bin Mut im that in the aftermath of the attle of unayn the desert rabs were tugging at the Prophet asking him to divide up some of the war booty amongst them. e said to them, If I had sheep and goats e ual to the number of these thorny desert shrubs scattered around us I would divide them amongst you. ou

would find me to be neither a miser, nor a liar, nor a coward.”

Imam al- ukhari relates a hadith from ahl bin a d that a cloak was given to the Messenger of llah. e wore it and he really needed it. man asked him for it and he gave it to him. The Companions rebuked him saying, e needed it and you know that he never refuses a re uest.” e said, I only asked for it so it could be my burial shroud.” nd it turned out to be his burial shroud. ll of his generosity was for llah, be he Mighty and Ma estic, and seeking is pleasure. ither he would spend for the poor, or the needy, or in the way of llah, or to win over to Islam those whose faith would be strengthened by his generosity. is character was an embodiment of this book the ur an in that he was pleased with what it describes as pleasurable, angered by what it describes as evoking anger. e hastened to implement what it encourages and to avoid what it forbids. or

“O Allah. I fasted for You and I believe in You and I break my fast with Your sustenance”

this reason his generosity and goodness was increased during this month Ramadan , because of the presence of abriel and his reviewing with him the ur an, which encourages nobility and generosity, with him. There can be no doubt that association with a noble, generous person breeds assimilation.

Imam Zaid Shakir is amongst the most respected and influential Islamic scholars in the West. As an American Muslim who came of age during the civil rights struggles, he has brought both sensitivity about race and poverty issues and scholarly discipline to his faith-based work.

he Taraweeh Prayer is an emphasised unnah of the Messenger of llah peace be upon him during the month of Ramadan. oth al- ukhaari and Muslim narrated from isha may llah be pleased with her that the Messenger of llah peace and blessings of llah be upon him prayed one night in the mos ue, and the people followed him in prayer. Then he prayed the ne t night, and many people came. Then they gathered on the third or fourth night, and the Messenger of llah peace and blessings of llah be upon him did not come out to them.

he said I saw what you did, and nothing kept me from coming out to you e cept the fact that I feared that it would be made obligatory for you.” nd that was in Ramadan These hadith show that praying Taraweeh in congregation is prescribed in the unnah of the Prophet peace be upon him . mar during his hilafah restablished this unnah of prayer in congregation.

It was narrated in al- aheehayn from isha may llah be pleased with her that the Messenger of llah peace and blessings of llah be upon him would forgo doing something that he liked to do lest the people do it and it become obligatory upon them. arrated by al- ukhaari, Muslim, alaat al-Musaafireen, . l- ukhaari narrated that bd al-Rahmaan ibn bd al- aari said I went out with mar ibn alhattaab may llah be pleased with him to the mos ue one night in Ramadan, and the people were scattered, each man praying by himself. ome men would pray and have groups of people behind them following them. mar said I think that if I unite all these people with one reader, it will be better. Then he resolved to gather them behind

bayy ibn a b. l- aafi said Ibn al-Teen and others said that mar based this decision on the Prophet s approval of those who prayed with him on those nights. lthough he disliked that for them, that was based on the fear that it might be made obligatory for them. When the Prophet peace and blessings of llah be upon him died, there was no longer any fear of that happening, and mar thought, because of the potential division that might arise from people praying separately, and because uniting them behind one reader is more motivating for many people. The ma ority agreed with mar s decision. nd uote from ath al- aari.

THE VIRTUES OF THE TARAWEEH PRAYER bu urayrah said llah s Messenger peace be upon him said e who prays during the night in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from llah will have his past sins forgiven” greed pon The Ma ority of scholars say that by all his pasts sins it means his minor sin not maor sins if the person stand all the nights of Ramadan in prayer and not ust a few nights .

Surrey program tackles ‘huge gaps’ in No taxes on Saudis support for Syrian refugee mental health or foreigners category. ut advocates and settlement

By Catherine Rolfsen, CBC News Advocates say long-term counselling services for Syrian refugees are sorely lac ing When yrian refugee Mohamad lorfi ed to Jordan, he lived under the constant threat of being caught working illegally by police. Just because you saw a policeman, you have to run away, because they always raise us on fear,” the father of seven e plains through an interpreter. Which is why the mere sight of a police station in his new home of urrey left him struggling to breathe. That is, until lorfi learned a deep breathing techni ue at an innovative new program in urrey to help yrian refugees cope with past trauma.

When I remember the past, I use this method,” he said, demonstrating by taking a long, slow inhale. I do this trick to get over it.” lorfi and his family are among about yrian refugees participating in a five-week group session that deals with settlement issues through a trauma lens,” according to Corina Carroll, the manager of counselling services at iversecity Community Resources ociety.

The program is funded by the nited Way, and is a first step in alleviating what Carroll describes as a huge gap” in serving yrian refugees mental health needs.

A real policy problem

I of C says that most yrian refugees will be able to cope with their trauma without ma or interventions, and there s no reason to believe that lorfi and his family aren t in that

workers say there is inade uate federal and provincial funding to ensure refugees who need it, get ongoing mental health support.

We have a real policy problem in this country when it comes to refugee mental health,” said ylan Ma ur, the e ecutive director of the ancouver ssociation for urvivors of Torture.

Syrian refugees anada yrian refugees got a warm welcome when they arrived in Canada, including from political leaders such as Immigration Minister John McCallum, above, some are finding it hard to get by on the government funding they receive, which is about e uivalent to social assistance. athan enette Canadian Press athan enette Canadian Press When government-assisted yrian refugees arrive in .C., they have a wellness orientation through I of C with a settlement crisis support worker like Margot angster.

It s one thing to provide support in the moment on a short-term basis or a crisis basis,” angster said. ut there is no funding in place, either by the province or the federal government, to provide that more ongoing long-term counselling that some people will benefit from.”

The federal government does provide some funding for refugees to access a psychologist under the Interim ederal ealth Program, but May ur says the application process is so onerous that only a handful of people are using it. .C. Ministry of ealth spokeswoman risty nderson says that mental health supports and trauma counselling are one of our main areas of focus,” pointing to recent funding aimed mainly at supporting those who work with refugees. ut advocates worry that yrian refugees will not get ade uate support when it s needed. or that population that needs acute intervention, the danger can be suicide, can be long-term trauma,” said May ur.

By: Amer Khan. Prince Rupert; BC he area around Prince Rupert has been inhabited by the Tsimshian people for thousands of years. bundant natural resources along with the pro imity of the keena and the ass rivers helped the locals to survive and subse uently thrive in this remote environment.

The area opened up to the outside world with the arrival of the udson s ay Company C in the early s. The fur trading helped in establishing new and old settlements firmly. The second half of the s witnessed the arrival of fish canneries owing to the abundant fishing prospects. The introduction of railways in the early s helped speed up the movement of people and goods to and from the region.

In ebruary , the name Prince Rupert” was selected through a competition for what would come to be the Western terminus point

T

on the orth Coast for the rand Trunk Pacific Railway TP . The TP president at the time, Charles Melville ays, had a grand vision for the nascent town, but unfortunately he was one of many who perished when . .Titanic, on its maiden voyage, sank in the tlantic cean in the spring of .

The economic lean times between the two world wars saw the city redefine itself as fishing community in the s and s and was crowned as the alibut capital of the world”. The end of the econd World War and the emergence of lumber industry saw the arrival of new settlers in the city, mostly skilled workers from urope.

With the growing port third deepest natural harbour in the world , nearby pulp mill and a strong seasonal fishing industry, Prince Rupert has en oyed relatively long stretches of robust development.

These days, the port of Prince Rupert is an

important part of ritish Columbia s economic engine. It encompasses the grain, coal and container terminals. The container terminal is undergoing e pansion to accommodate anticipated increase in container tra c in the future. urther growth is also e pected due to renewed interest in developing li uefied natural gas e port facility on the orth Coast.

The city is conveniently accessible throughout the year by road, air and ferry service. rom sport fishing and whale & bear watching in the summer season to skiing on the nearby hames Mountain in the winter season,

Prince Rupert has a wide range of activities for everyone. If you are travelling to northern C during the holidays, pay a visit to Prince Rupert. ou might be surprised with what this small town has to o er.

et us continue to be happy. It is like sitting on a see-saw sometimes reaching up high and sometimes dipping low.

The same can be seen with our family, friends and dear ones. When things are going smoothly, we feel so light-hearted, happy and great as if we are on a high of the see-saw part of our life. The same is seen when our problem grows out of our control, we go down and even crash sometimes.

The graph of our happiness usually depends on action and reactions of many other people, their behaviour, their accepting or not accepting things that are dear to us. Their response plays ma or role in our life to decide our happiness.
