These events are organized and sponsored by Canadian Islamic Congress

Background Information
Islamic History Month Canada was launched in October 2007 to celebrate and enhance Muslims’ contributions to civilization, old and new, and inspire dialogue among all facets in the multicultural, multiethnic and multi-faith nation that Canada has become. The goals of IHMC are being achieved through a wide range of community and public events across Canada, such as exhibitions, lectures, film showings, awardpresentations and other complementary activities.

The IHMC Advisory Board includes senators, public figures, academics,inter-faith activists, Muslim community leaders and others.

In the words of IHMC’s Honorary Chair, Senator Mobina Jaffer:

"Canada's national cultural heritage is the sum total of the wayCanadians from every background and every walk of life identify and express themselves. Islamic civilization does not belong only to MuslimCanadians, but to all Canadians. In fact, for more than 1,000 years
(about 600 AD through 1600 AD), Muslims made significant contributions to the well-being of humanity in numerous fields of endeavor. There are so many good stories to share and new learning to experience; we intend to do all that, and more, during Islamic History Month Canada."

A Moment with the Qura'an:

- Surat Al-Mulk:

The Virtues of Surat Al-Mulk:
Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that Allah's Messenger said, (Verily, there is a chapter in the Qur'an which contains thirty Ayat that will intercede on behalf of its reciter until he is forgiven. (It is): (Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion.))[Surat Al-Mulk] This Hadith was collected by At-Tirmidhi and the four Sunan Compilers. At-Tirmidhi said concerning it, "This is a Hasan Hadith.'' At-Tabarani and Al-Hafiz Ad-Diya' Al-Maqdisi both recorded from Anas that the Messenger of Allah said, (There is a chapter of the Qur'an that will argue on behalf of its reciter until it causes him to enter into Paradise. (It is): (Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion.))

Surat Al-Mulk: (link: Al-Minshawy - mp3 - 1.53MB)
(1. Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion; and He is Able to do all things.)
(2. Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving;)
(3. Who has created the seven heavens one above the other; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again. Can you see any rifts)
(4. Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you Khasi', and worn out.)
(5. And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin, and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire.)
(6. And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination.)
(7. When they are cast therein, they will hear its Shahiq while it is simmering.)
(8. It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keepers will ask: "Did no warner come to you'')
(9. They will say: "Yes, indeed a warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said: `Allah never sent down anything; you are only in great error.''')
(10. And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!'')
(11. Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire!)
(12. Verily, those who fear their Lord unseen, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward.)
(13. And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts.)
(14. Should not He Who has created know And He is the Most Kind and Courteous, All-Aware.)
(15. He it is Who has made the earth subservient to you; so walk in the paths thereof and eat of His provision. And to Him will be the resurrection.)
(16. Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake)
(17. Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not send against you a Hasib Then you shall know how has been My warning.)
(18. And indeed those before them rejected, then how terrible was My reproach)
(19. Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in None upholds them except the Most Gracious. Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything.)
(20. Who is it besides the Most Gracious that can be an army to you to help you The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.)
(21. Who is it that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and flee.)
(22. Is he who walks prone on his face, more rightly guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path)
(23. Say: "It is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing and seeing, and hearts. Little thanks you give.'')
(24. Say: "It is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him shall you be gathered.'')
(25. They say: "When will this promise come to pass, if you are telling the truth'')
(26. Say: "The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am only a plain Warner.'')
(27. But when they will see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be sad and grievous, and it will be said: "This is what you were calling for!'')
(28. Say: "Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His mercy on us - who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment'')
(29. Say: "He is the Most Gracious, in Him we believe, and upon Him we rely. So, you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error.'')
(30. Say: "Tell me! If (all) your water were to sink away, who then can supply you with flowing water'')

NIGHT PRAYERS (Taraweeh)

Sort Stories of the Companions:
- Starting with the Story of Abu Dharr Al-Ghafari:



Abu Dharr related: ``I said to him [Holy Prophet Peace be upon him]: Present Islam to me. So when he presented it, I became a Muslim there and then. He said to me: `Abu Dharr! Keep this matter a secret, and return to your land. When you hear of our triumph, then come.' I said: `By Him Who sent you with the truth, I shall shout about this to them.' So he [Abu Dharr] went to the Ka'ba, and Quraish were there. He said: O people of Quraish! I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.''
Bukhari, Kitab al-Manaqib; Book 61, ch. 9; vol. ii, p. 335
After His Islam:

Abu Dharr also narrated form the prophet peace be upon him: "Do not consider even the smallest good deed as insignificant; even meeting your brother with a cheerful face (is a good deed)." recorded by Imam Muslim.

A moment with the Qura’an

- Surat Yaa Seen

The Virtues of Surah Ya Sin
Al-Hafiz Abu Ya`la recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "The Messenger of Allah said: (Whoever recites Ya Sin in the night, will wake up forgiven, and whoever recites Ha Mim in which Ad-Dukhan (the Smoke) is mentioned, will wake up forgiven.) Its chain of narration is good (Jayyid).

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
(1. Ya Sin.)
(2. By the Qur'an, full of wisdom,)
(3. Truly, you are one of the Messengers,)
(4. On the straight path.)
(5. Sent down by the Almighty, the Most Merciful,)
(6. In order that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless.)
(7. Indeed the Word has proved true against most of them, so they will not believe.)
(8. Verily, We have put on their necks iron collars reaching to the chins, so that their heads are raised up.)
(9. And We have put a barrier before them, and a barrier behind them, and We have covered them up, so that they cannot see.)
(10. It is the same to them whether you warn them or you warn them not, they will not believe.)
(11. You can only warn him who follows the Reminder, and fears the Most Gracious unseen. Bear you to such one the glad tidings of forgiveness, and a generous reward.)
(12. Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces and all things We have recorded with numbers in Imam Mubin (a Clear Book).)
(13. And put forward to them a similitude; the Dwellers of the Town, when there came Messengers to them.)
(14. When We sent to them two Messengers, they denied them both; so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: "Verily, we have been sent to you as Messengers.'')
(15. They said: "You are only human beings like ourselves, and the Most Gracious has revealed nothing. You are only telling lies.'')
(16. The Messengers said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent as Messengers to you,'')
(17. "And our duty is only to convey plainly.'')
