Greater Manchester Police is working with Mosques across the county to raise awareness of crime prevention issues and ensure Ramadan is a peaceful and safe time for everyone.
During the holy month, parents are advised to keep children safe and to keep an eye on them when at the Mosque. You can do this by making sure they are accompanied to prayer or by getting them involved in one of the many activities being held throughout Ramadan.
You can find out what’s going on where you live by visiting your local Mosque, community centre or by logging on to safe4summer.com.
Motorists are advised to park their cars in well-lit areas and to remove all valuables from their vehicle. If you have a Sat Nav wipe away the sucker mark on the windscreen and take the device with you.
Chief Inspector Nadeem Mir from Greater Manchester Police’s Rochdale Division said: “We appreciate that there will be some people choosing to leave the Mosque before the end of prayer and I ask that you respect those who remain in prayer and other members of your community.
“During this holy month our officers regularly speak to a small minority of boys carrying out anti-social behaviour around the Mosques. Please remember that congregating in groups around the Mosque may disturb and upset other members of the community. Consider what your family members would think and how they would feel if they could see your behaviour.
“We will be patrolling the Mosques and their vicinity during the course of Ramadan to reassure the community and provide crime prevention advice where appropriate. It is important to remember that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. This is an important time of the year and we will be working with the local Mosques and community to ensure it is
a harmonious time for all.
“If anyone witnesses any criminal activity or anti-social behaviour taking place I would ask them to report it to the police immediately, so we can act accordingly.”

How are you? Hope you are well and in the best of health and imaan as always.

How’s your week been then?  Hope everything has been well.

First of all apologies for the lack of content here (did say i’ll post of summary of previous shows).

Right what have we covered in the past few programmes? Last week (27/03/10) we went through the major signs of the Day of Judgement as we had covered these in previous shows, but this time in greater depth and all the signs that we had mentioned, together. (Today’s show will be mentioned next week Inshaa’Allah).

Below is a summary of what was covered in last week’s show:

• We went through verses 21-30 of Surah Al-Imran in the Qur’an segment with Sheikh Abdul Basfer and Ibrahim Walk doing the translation
• The Islamic word was Shukran meaning “Thank you”
• We also went through some Dua’s which included the Dua for one experiencing difficulty, the Mu’allim Dua, the Dua for wearing a new garment and Dua after drinking water
• Surah Ibrahim, Noor and Dukhan were played

Below is some information we covered about the major signs of the Day of Judgement (please note, I didn’t go through all the major signs as we will cover that later in the future Inshaa’Allah via Anwar Al Awlaki’s speeches on the Day of Judgement)
