Bismillah [IslamCity] A British Woman on a Mission
A British Woman on a Mission Sidra Khan reports on Aisha Bhutta's bid to convert the world to Islam The Guardian Newspaper, London Thursday 8th May 1997 http://www.islamfortoday.com/scottish30.htm Aisha Bhutta, also known as Debbie Rogers, is serene. She sits on the sofa in big front room of her tenement flat in Cowcaddens, Glasgow. The walls are hung with quotations from the Koran, a special clock to remind the family of prayer times and posters of the Holy City of Mecca. Aisha's piercing blue eyes sparkle with evangelical zeal, she smiles with a radiance only true believers possess. Her face is that of a strong Scots lass - no nonsense, good-humoured - but it is carefully covered with a hijab. For a good Christian girl to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim is extraordinary enough. But more than that, she has also converted her parents, most of the rest of her family and at least 30 friends and neighbours. Her family were austere Christians with whom Rogers regularly attended Salvation Army meetings. When all the other teenagers in Britain were kissing their George Michael posters goodnight, Rogers had pictures of Jesus up on her wall. And yet she found that Christianity was not enough; there were too many unanswered questions and she felt dissatisfied with the lack of disciplined structure for her beliefs. There had to be more for me to obey than just doing prayers when I felt like it. Aisha had first seen her future husband, Mohammad Bhutta, when she was 10 and regular customer at the shop, run by his family. She would see him in the back, praying. There was contentment and peace in what he was doing. He said he was a Muslim. I said: What's a Muslim?. Later with his help she began looking deeper into Islam. By the age of 17, she had read the entire Koran in Arabic. Everything I read, she says, was making sense. She made the decision to convert at16. When I said the words, it waslike a big burden I had been carrying on my shoulders had been thrown off. I felt like a new-born baby. Despite her conversion however, Mohammed's parents were against their marrying. They saw her as a Western woman who would lead their eldestson astray and give the family a bad name; she was, Mohammed's father believed, the biggest enemy. Nevertheless, the couple married in the local mosque. Aisha wore a dress hand-sewn by Mohammed's mother and sisters who sneaked into the ceremony against the wishes of his father who refused to attend. It was his elderly grandmother who paved the way for a bond between thewomen. She arrived from Pakistan where mixed-race marriages were evenmore taboo, and insisted on meeting Aisha. She was so impressed by thefact that she had learned the Koran and Punjabi that she convinced the others; slowly, Aisha, now 32, became one of the family. Aisha's parents, Michael and Marjory Rogers, though did attend the wedding, were more concerned with the clothes their daughter was now wearing (the traditional shalwaar kameez) and what the neighbours would think. Six years later, Aisha embarked on a mission to convert them and the rest of her family, bar her sister (I'm still working on her). My husband and I worked on my mum and dad, telling them about Islam and they saw the changes in me, like I stopped answering back! Her mother soon followed in her footsteps. Marjory Rogers changed her name to Sumayyah and became a devout Muslim. She wore the hijab anddid her prayers on time and nothing ever mattered to her except her connections with God. Aisha's father proved a more difficult recruit, so she enlisted the helpof her newly converted mother (who has since died of cancer). My mumand I used to talk to my father about Islam and we were sitting in the sofa in the kitchen one day and he said: What are the words you saywhen you become a Muslim? Me and my mum just jumped on top of him. Three years later, Aisha's brother converted over the telephone - thanks to BT, then his wife and children followed, followed by her sister's son. It didn't stop there. Her family converted, Aisha turned her attentionto Cowcaddens, with its tightly packed rows of crumbling, gray tenement flats. Every Monday for the past 13 years, Aisha has held classes in Islam for Scottish women. So far she has helped to convert over 30. The women come from a bewildering array of backgrounds. Trudy, a lecturer at the University of Glasgow and a former Catholic, attended Aisha's classes purely because she was commissioned to carry out some research. But after six months of classes she converted, deciding that Christianity was riddled with logical inconsistencies. I could tell she was beginning to be affected by the talks, Aisha says. How could she tell? I don't know, it was just a feeling. The classes include Muslim girls tempted by Western ideals and need ingsalvation, practicing Muslim women who want an open forum for discussion denied them at the local

Bismillah [IslamCity] Hijab
Hijab is a true blessing for women and is a gift of Islam. All Prophets (RA), all scholars and the sages and wise people of the world, are unanimous that adultery or fornication is the worst crime, which disgraces honour and modesty and is against all norms of morality and ethics. At the sight of a woman, a man feels attracted and infatuated, similarly, when a woman looks at a man, she gets fascinated and develops love and affection, which at times results in illicit relations out of wedlock. So, wisdom and modesty demands that avenues of such actions be closed so that there is protection from fornication and through maintaining hijab, the chaste and respectable women are able to protect themselves from the sinful eyes of the rogues and loose-charactered men. By nipping this in the bud, women would be able to protect the fair name of their progeny and not be suspected of bearing somebody elses child. In places where purdah is not observed and where there is free interaction between men and women, cases of adultery, fornication and illegitimate children are rampant, which is common knowledge. That is why, through Hijab, women are able to protect themselves, their respect and chastity, and remain blemishless in the eyes of their husbands and their families, above any suspicion or doubt. This is also the law of Allah (SWT). __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Eid celebrations--Londoners Gather in Trafalgar Square
Salam Brothers Sisters, Thank you for sharing this splendid article about Britain's Muslim celebration of Eid Al-Fitr. This is an inspiring initiative that we the Muslims of Canada should try to emulate by organizing similar festivities in the main squares of all major Canadian urban centres, including the Federal Capital Ottawa and the Provincial Capitals of all the provinces of Canada. Within this context, it would be wonderful, too, if Canadian Muslims were to work with Provincial Governments for the purpose of installing Crescents (made of solid metal, with 29-30 lights that can be turned on at night for each day of the Holy Month of Ramadan) at the garden of each Provincial Parliament Building to celebrate the entire month of Ramadan. (For each day of the month, one extra light is turned on until the entire Crescent, with its full 29-30 lights sparking at the end of the Month, adding EID MUBARAK on the day of the Eid, declaring the arrival of the Eid). This would be absolutely marvelous. Among other things, such a remarkable project would be a confirmation of the fact that: Islam in Canada is here to Stay!

For the second consecutive year, London once again hosted the `Eid-in-the-Square celebrations to commemorate `Eid Al-Fitr and the ending of the holy month of Ramadan on Saturday, October 20. Trafalgar Square was transformed into a carpet of celebration as Muslims and non-Muslims alike descended upon the British landmark to use this cultural extravaganza to celebrate `Eid with the wider UK and global community. Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, who has been supporting `Eid in the Square along with similar faith-based London celebrations, said, "Unity is a key theme of Ramadan and `Eid day celebrations as they transcend ethnic, cultural, and religious boundaries and bring together people from all corners of the world to focus on their faith and serve as a reminder of the importance of peace, compassion, and charity — values common to all humanity." "`Eid celebrations in Trafalgar Square provide an opportunity for Muslims and non-Muslims to unite and experience the cultural richness and diversity of Islam." The program was really a catchy one: An array of Muslim performers and entertainers including singers Sami Yusuf, Hamza Robertson, Nazeel Azami, and the band Aashiq-al-Rasul were there, in addition to the hip hop duo Poetic Pilgrimage, who performed a set of their thought-provoking raps as young and old alike cheered them on. Activities during the course of the afternoon included fundraising by UK Muslim charities, henna painting for women, and advice stalls by organizations — such as UNICEF — and the Metropolitan Police. In addition, a comedy act by South London-Somali Prince Abdi entertained the thousands of attendees during the afternoon of this one-day celebration. The secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), Dr. Muhammad Abdul Bari, provided a satellite-linkup message to the celebrations at Trafalgar Square. Dr. Bari said, "I am delighted to support the celebration of the festival of `Eid Al-Fitr at the heart of our capital, Trafalgar Square. London is a global city, and Muslim Londoners represent the diversity and richness of the Muslim world." "`Eid unites human beings in common joy. It reminds us of the importance of harmony, human equality, and compassion for all. London is a great world city, where cultures and communities come together to contribute to its success. Muslim Londoners are rightly proud of London's success story, and long may it continue." `Eid in the Square was a joint initiative between humanitarian charity, Islamic Relief (IR), and the MCB. The event was supported by the mayor of London, Muslim Aid, IR, Islam channel TV, and Transport for London. Here are what some of the attendees there had to say: Muhammad Ashiq and Taufail Pupils of Ebrahim Community College, London This is an exceptional event. It shows that we
