Dr. Pasha has issued a call to Muslims around the world – in every single Mohalla and every single Community, in every part of the world – to get organized from now on to be able to do a Grand Global Khatm-a-Day for next Ramadan, 1434, Inshallah, on a world-wide basis.
And here, he says, is how Muslim communities everywhere, in all parts of the world, should be able to do it: […]
Call to All to Read the Qur’an
Dr. Firdaus today issued a call to Muslims around the world to organize Weekly Khatm Sharif of the Qur’an between now and the next Ramadan, 1434/2013.
Dr. Fridaus says the word Qur’an means “To Read” or “Reading.” Allah sent the Qur’an to the world so that it will be read – and of course so that it will also be understood and practiced.
It is, therefore, incumbent on everyone everywhere to read the Qur’an – Allah’s book that is – says Dr. Firdaus. “Why else would God send down a book into the world if not for everyone to read it?” […]

“Eid Mubarak!
Kullu ‘Aam wa Antum Bikhair!
Bayraminiz Kutlu Olsun!
The last one being Turkish.
Of course! And why not? Eid Mubarak — to one and all! Indeed!
Muslim and non-Muslim alike! For, this is a common occasion ordained by God for all — fasting I mean. At least so says the Qur’an — Kamaa Kutiba ‘Alalladheena Min Qablikum: The way it was ordained for those before you.
When no one is watching or listening, I say to myself: That is right, yet another occasion — I will call it an “excuse” if you promise not to call me a Kaafir — for God Almighty to bless his people — all people — on earth.
But the question that keeps popping up in my head over and over is this: How are we — Muslim and non-Muslim — different today, after this Ramazaan and after this Eid, than we were before them?
And do you know what? Maybe, just maybe, asking that question alone will somehow help us to be better people today — more honest; more truthful; more just; more compassionate; more hardworking; more forgiving; and somehow less hateful, less prejudiced and less angry — after this Eid, than we were yesterday, before this Eid.
I am not going to say: “May Allah Make Us So, Aameen!” Even though I will and I do.
I am going to say instead: “Try and work on it on your own — and then see what Allah does.“
God Bless and Happy Eid, Everyone!” (Dr. Pasha)
“When Ramadan comes, Muslims flock to Muslims asking for their Zakat money and soliciting all kinds of other donations from them for this or that charitable purpose.
This Ramadan, I come to you asking for a very different kind of favor: Try as hard as you can to be the best Muslim you can be, and the best human being you can be, and then hold on to what you learn in this blessed month of Ramadan when Ramadan takes its leave in the next few days.
I am not asking you to give your money to us. Instead, I am asking you this Ramadan to give your life to the one who gave it to you in the first place: God Almighty.
That means, this Ramadan, make a commitment to spend the rest of your life – regardless of whether you are young or old, man or woman – in loving God and serving humanity.
If you just did that, what a beautiful world you would build!” (Dr. Pasha)
“What many people may not realize about Islam is that the Law of Gravity is as Islamic as Fasting and Prayers – what is called Siyaam and Salaah or Roza and Namaz. And having a safe, sturdy and secure ladder as a requirement of climbing an otherwise inaccessible roof may be as much a part of Islamic life as Ablution or Wudu is to Prayers or Salaah. For all those used to various forms and brands of Snake Oil in the name of Islam, and in the name of “religion” in general, how does this sound as a core insight into the spirit and true teachings of Islam?” (Dr. Pasha)
“Let us today, this Tuesday, December 8, 2010 – coinciding with the 1st of Muharram, 1432 of the Hijri Islamic calendar – let us today introduce a new concept and a new term in the English lexicon: “Real-Time Miracles.” By this I mean real miracles that are happening right now even as we speak. Right before our eyes. From this point of view, everything about Islam is a Real-Time Miracle. So is much of whatever Islam is left in the lives of Muslims such as Wudu, Salaat, Siyaam and Hajj – that is, washing up, prayers, fasting and pilgrimage to Makkah. Or the way the Muslims bathe and bury their dead, for example. Each one of these things is a Real-Time Miracle. That means it is not supposed to happen, but it is happening, contrary to all expectations, and defying all predictive or explanatory models. Each and every single one of these things. And they are all happening right now, even as we speak. They are all Miracles because they all date back from the time of Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, 1400 years ago. And they are Real-Time because they are happening right now, right in front of our eyes. And there is nothing like them anywhere else in the world. No real-life living activity of our time and age that goes back that far in history. Absolutely nothing. It is mind boggling to say the least, this whole thing. These things being miracles on the one hand, and their occurrence in real time on the other hand in our own age and lifetime.” (Dr. Pasha)
