Wishing a happy, healthy, prosperous and fulfilling Islamic new year to all Muslims here in the UK and around the world.
A message from Imam Qari Asim MBE, Leeds Makkah Mosque & CMF Trustee:
We ask Allah Almighty for goodness, wellbeing and prosperity in the New Year 1441 AH #Hijra.
May the 1441AH be a year full of happiness, kindness and healing, in particular for those suffering abuse and injustices in the world. The people of #Kashmir are in our thoughts and prayers.
The Ashura- the tragic events of Karbala fill our hearts with sorrow but also inspire us to stand up with those who are tackling injustices in the world. Let us remember Imam Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him), the highest of martyrs, the lord of youth of paradise who gave his life and the lives of his family and companions to preserve the fundamental principles of Islam. Let us send our greetings and regards to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and his family and companions (may Allah be pleased with all of them).
We are leaving behind another year of our life. It is an opportunity to review our mistakes, to repent to our sins, to make new and correct decisions, to open immaculate pages of our lives.
The new year does not signify a simple change in the calendar but it also signifies opportunities for bringing about positive changes to make your life and eventually the world around you much better.
