Anticipated Ramadan Dramas 2021
The Ramadan countdown has started and we can’t be more excited. The 2021 Ramadan drama marathon is almost three weeks away. Certainly, everything about Ramadan is special; some people love it for its spiritual environment, the state of togetherness or maybe even for the seasonal food and rituals. Moreover, some people anticipate the Ramadan dramas and wait for them eagerly. Here are four series we can’t wait for.
Al Ekhteyar 2: Regal Al Zel
After the huge success of Al Ekhtyar 1, a new promising cast was chosen to serve another season of the Ramadan series with a new and somehow connected story, which everyone is eagerly waiting for. The series portrays the life stories of martyrs from the Ministry of the Interior from 2013 to 2020 under the title of “So We Don’t Forget”; as it also highlights the heroics of men in the armed forces and police who keep sacrificing; in order to protect our homeland. The show stars two actors we never thought we’d see together – Karim Abdel Aziz, Ahmed Mekky, alongside Asmaa Abou El Yazeed, Injy Al Moqaddem, Khaled Al-Nabawy, Amr Abdul Gelil, Mohamed Farrag, Mohammed Alaa, and many more. It is directed by Peter Mimi and written by Hany Sarhan.
Harb Ahleya
Let’s just agree that it isn’t the Ramadan drama marathon without Yousra in it. This year, as part of the drama of family conflicts and disputes, the series deals with the story of a woman who is forced by her life circumstances to leave her daughter as a child, causing her daughter to grow up with her stepmother which brings her closer to her, and then becomes cruel and hard on her real biological mother. The cast of this series is very outstanding, it stars Yousra, Basel Khayat, Jamila Awad, Cynthia Khalifeh, Arwa Gouda, Mahmoud Hegazy and many more. Harb Ahleya is directed by Sameh Abdelaziz with Ahmed Adel Sultan’s script is expected to be a drama hit.
Nageeb Zahy Zarkash
The long-awaited return of Yehia El-Fakharany to the Ramadan drama marathon is over, as he is finally here with Nageeb Zahy Zarkash. Written by Abdelreheim Kamal and directed by Shady El-Fakharany, the plot of the comedy drama revolves around a lawyer, who has 4 sons who despise him after his wife’s death; so, he decides to teach them a lesson they will never forget. The iconic cast alongside Yehia El-Fakharany is Anoshka, Hala Fakher, Shereen, and more very talented actors and actresses.
Bayn El Samaa W El Ard
Based on the international and iconic author Naguib Mahfouz’s book, the series’ events revolve around the breaking down of A real estate elevator in Cairo where there’s a group of people, who meet for the first time, between whom there are paradoxes where everyone has a different story. The cast is very promising as we get to welcome some of it to the marathon again while anticipating that it’s going places. The show stars Hany Salama, Dorra, Sawsan Bader, Ahmad Bedir, Mohamed Lotfy, Nada Moussa, Naglaa Badr, Youssra El Lozy, Mohamed Tharwat, Nourhan, Mahmoud El-Lisy, and Ahmad Al Salakawi.

A BIOGRAPHY OF
ASH-SHAYKH ^ABDULLAH AL-HARARIYY
He is the great ^alim (Islamic scholar), an example of the ^ulama' (Islamic scholars), al-'Imam, al-Muhaddith, the pious worshipper, ash-Shaykh Abu ^Abdir-Rahman, ^Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Yusuf, al-Harariyy, ash-Shaybiyy, al-^Abdariyy, the Mufti of as-Sumal (Somalia). He is al-Harariyy because he is from the city of Harar. In 1887, as-Sumal was occupied and divided into five parts and the western province (Harar) was given to al-Habashah (Ethiopia). He is ash-Shaybiyy because Banu Shaybah is a clan of Quraysh and they are the people in charge of al-Ka^bah. He is al-^Abdariyy because he also belongs to ^Abd-ud-Dar, a clan of Qusayy Ibn Kilab, the fourth grandfather of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam.
He was born in Harar around 1339 A.H., or 1920 R.C. He grew up in a humble house loving al-^Ilm (Islamic knowledge) and its people. He memorized al-Qur'an by heart and tartil (reading correctly with tajwid rules) when he was seven years old. He continued to scoop from the sea of knowledge. He memorized numerous books in various Islamic sciences. He gave ^Ilm al-Hadith a great amount of attention. He memorized the six books of al-Hadith (al-Bukhariyy, Muslim, at-Tirmithiyy, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, An-Nasa'iyy) and other books of al-Hadith with their isnad (names and biographies of the chains of relators). He was authorized by al-^ulama' to pass al-fatwa and to relate al-Hadith when he was less than eighteen years old.
He was not satisified with taking knowledge only from al-^ulama' of his own city. He went to many places in al-Habashah and as-Sumal seeking knowledge and its people. He had many trips with hardships and difficulties, but he did not care about them; whenever he heard about an ^alim he went to him, which is the habit of the righteous Salaf (Muslim scholars of the first 300 Hijriyyah years).
His intelligence and wonderful memory helped him get in depth in al-Fiqh ash-Shafi^iyy (Islamic knowledge following al-'Imam ash-Shafi^iyy), and also the same in al-Fiqh al-Malikiyy, al-Hanafiyy, and al-Hanbaliyy, so that he became a person at whom fingers point; people would come to him from different places in al-Habashah and as-Sumal. He became the Mufti of as-Sumal (the highest religious authority qualified to pass Islamic judgements).
He took al-Fiqh ash-Shafi^iyy and its Usul (science of inferring rules and judgements) and an-Nahw (Arabic Grammar) from al-^alim ash-Shaykh Muhammad ^Abdus-Salam al-Harariyy, ash-Shaykh Muhammad ^Umar Jami^ al-Harariyy, ash-Shaykh Muhammad Rashad al-Habashiyy, ash-Shaykh Ibrahim Abil-Ghayth Al-Harariyy, ash-Shaykh Yunus al-Habashiyy, and ash-Shaykh Muhammad Siraj al-Jabartiyy. From those ^ulama' (Islamic scholars) he took many main texts such as Alfiyyat-uz-Zubad, at-Tanbih, al-Minhaj, Alfiyyat-ubni-Malik, al-Luma^ by ash-Shiraziyy and other main texts.
He took the sciences of the Arabic Language, especially from the righteous Shaykh Ahmad al-Basir and ash-Shaykh Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Habashiyy and others. He read the Fiqh of the three Mathahib and their Usul under ash-Shaykh Muhammad al-^Arabiyy al-Fasiyy, and ash-Shaykh ^Abdur-Rahman al-Habashiyy. He took at-Tafsir (science of explanation of al-Qur’an) from ash-Shaykh Sharif al-Habashiyy in his town, Jummah.
He took al-Hadith and its sciences from many teachers notably from al-Hafiz ash-Shaykh Abu Bakr Muhammad Siraj al-Jabartiyy, the Mufti of al-Habashah, and ash-Shaykh ^Abdur-Rahman ^Abdullah al-Habashiyy, and others.
He met with the righteous Shaykh, al-Muhaddith, al-Qari' (Reciter of al-Qur'an), Ahmad Ibn ^Abdil-Muttalib, the Head of the Qurra' (plural of Qari') in al-Masjid-ul-Haram in Makkah (he was appointed as the Imam and Shaykh of al-Masjid-ul-Haram by as-Sultan ^Abdul-Hamid II, the last Muslim, Ottoman Khalifah). From this Shaykh he took the 14 ways of reciting al-Qur'an, as well as ^Ilm al-Hadith and he also met ash-Shaykh, al-Qari', Dawud al-Jabartiyy.
He started giving classes at a young age for the students who were maybe older than he was; so he was both learning and teaching. He was superior in both al-Habashah and as-Sumal to his peers in knowing the biographies of the people of al-Hadith and their ranks, and memorizing the texts and getting in depth in the sciences of as-Sunnah, language, Tafsir, and others.
He did not leave any known Islamic science without mastering it. He may talk about some knowledge or science and a person may think that he specialized in that only. You would see him humbly listening to a Hadith with his ear and his heart, although he knows better about it than the speaker himself.
He went to Makkah and met its ^ulama' such as ash-Shaykh, al-^Alim, as-Sayyid, ^Alawiyy al-Malikiyy, and ash-Shaykh Amin al-Kutubiyy. He attended circles by ash-Shaykh Muhammad al-^Arabiyy at-Tabban. He contacted ash-Shaykh ^Abdul-Ghafur an-Naqshabandiyy and took at-Tariqah an-Naqshabandiyyah from him .
Afterwards, he went to al-Madinah and contacted its ^ulama'. He took al-Hadith from ash-Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Muhammad as-Siddiqiyy al-Bakriyy. He stayed by and in ^Arif Hikmat and al-Mahmudiyyah libraries going through the manuscripts. He stayed in al-Madinah close to the Prophet's Mosque for about a year. He received permission to teach from many ^ulama'.
He then went to Jerusalem in the 5th decade of this century and then he went to Damascus where he was welcomed by its people, especially after the death of its Muhaddith Badr-ud-Din al-Hasaniyy. He went to Damascus, Beirut, Hims, Hamah, Halab, and other cities. He then lived in Jami^-ul-Qatat, and his fame spread in the area. Consequently, the scholars and students of ash-Sham (area including Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Jordan) came seeking him, and he got to know some of its scholars. They benefited from him and acknowledged his knowledge, and he was called “the Successor of ash-Shaykh Badr-ud-Din al-Hasaniyy”. He was also known as “the Muhaddith of ash-Sham countries”. A great number of the ^ulama' of ash-Sham praised him such as ash-Shaykh ^Izz-ud-Din al-Khaznawiyy, ash-Shafi^iyy, an-Naqshabandiyy from al-Jazirah in the north of Syria, ash-Shaykh ^Abdur-Razzaq al-Halabiyy, the Director of al-Masjidul-'Umawiyy in Damascus, ash-Shaykh Abu Sulayman az-Zabibiyy, ash-Shaykh Mulla Ramadan al-Butiyy, ash-Shaykh Abul-Yusr ^Abidin, the Mufti of Syria, ash-Shaykh ^Abdul-Karim ar-Rifa^iyy, ash-Shaykh Naji Nur from Jordan, ash-Shaykh Sa^id Tanatirah, ash-Shaykh Ahmad al-Husariyy, the Director of the Islamic school of Ma^arratun-Nu^man, ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah Siraj al-Halabiyy, ash-Shaykh Muhammad Murad al-Halabiyy, ash-Shaykh Suhayb ar-Rumiyy, the Amin of al-Fatwa in Halab, ash-Shaykh ^Abdul-^Aziz ^Uyunus-Sud, the Head of the Qurra' of Hims, ash-Shaykh Abus-Su^ud al-Himsiyy, ash-Shaykh Fayiz ad-Dayr^ataniyy, the Shaykh of Damascus who knows the Seven Qira'at (ways of recitations of Qur'an), ash-Shaykh ^Abdul-Wahhab Dibs wa Zayt of Damascus, Dr. Halawaniyy, the Shaykh of reciters in Syria, ash-Shaykh Ahmad al-Harun of Damascus, the righteous waliyy, ash-Shaykh Tahir al-Kayyaliyy from Hims, and others, may Allah benefit us from them.
He was also praised by ash-Shaykh ^Uthman Siraj-ud-Din, the descendant of ash-Shaykh ^Ala'-ud-Din, the Shaykh of an-Naqshabandiyyah in his time and they had brotherly and scholarly correspondances between them. He was praised also by ash-Shaykh ^Abdul-Karim al-Bayyariyy, the teacher in Jami^-il-Hadrah al-Kilaniyyah in Baghdad, ash-Shaykh Ahmad az-Zahid al-'Islambuliyy, ash-Shaykh Mahmud al-Hanafiyy, who is one of the famous and active Turkish shuyukh (pl. of shaykh), ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah al-Ghammariyy, the Muhaddith of the Morrocan area, ash-Shaykh Habibur-Rahman al-'A^zamiyy, the Muhaddith of the Indian Peninsula, whom he met with many times and stayed as his guest for some time.
He took permission for at-Tariqah ar-Rifa^iyyah from ash-Shaykh ^Abdur-Rahman as-Sibsibiyy, and ash-Shaykh Tahir al-Kayyaliyy, and permission in at-Tariqah al-Qadiriyyah from ash-Shaykh Ahmad al-^Irbiniyy, may Allah have mercy upon them.
Ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah came to Beirut in 1950 R.C. and he was the guest of the famous shuyukh like ash-Shaykh, al-Qadi Muhyid-Din al-^Ajuz and ash-Shaykh, al-Mustashar Muhammad ash-Sharif and ash-Shaykh ^Abdul-Wahhab al-Butariyy, the imam of Jami^ al-Basta al-Fawqa, ash-Shaykh Ahmad Iskandaraniyy, the Imam and Mu'aththin in Jami^ Burj Abi Haydar and they learned and benefited from him. Then he met with ash-Shaykh Tawfiq al-Hibriyy, may Allah have mercy on him, and at his residence he used to meet the important people in Beirut. He also met with ash-Shaykh ^Abdur-Rahman al-Majthub and ash-Shaykh Muhammad al-Butariyy, the Qadi of Beirut presently, and they benefited from him. He met with ash-Shaykh Mukhtar al-^Alayiliyy, may Allah have mercy upon him, who was the Amin of al-Fatwa who acknowledged his honor and breadth of his knowledge, and prepared for his residence in Beirut to teach in different mosques. The Department of al-Fatwa paid the expenses of his residence during that period. In 1969 R.C., upon the request of the Director of al-'Azhar in Lebanon, he lectured in at-Tawhid to the students there.
Ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah's primary goal was (and is) to spread the correct belief of Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jama^ah, a task which has been occupying most of his time. He fought the atheists and the people of al-bida^ (prohibited innovations) to extinguish their fitan (misguidings). This did not leave much time for writing books, he left quite a few writings, however:
1. An explanation of Alfiyyat-ul-^Iraqiyy in the Science of al-Hadith.
2. A poem in at-Tawhid (Islamic Belief) of about sixty lines.
3. As-Sirat-ul-Mustaqim in at-Tawhid, published.
4. Ad-Dalil-ul-Qawim ^alas-Sirat-il-Mustaqim in at-Tawhid, published.
5. Mukhtasaru ^Abdillah-il-Harariyy, al-Kafilu bi ^Ilm-id-Din-id-Daruriyy, published.
6. Bughyat-ut-Talib lima^rifat-il-^Ilm-id-Diniyy-il-Wajib, published. 7. At-Ta^aqqub-ul-Hathith ^ala man ta^ana fima sahha min-al-Hadith, published. In this book, ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah refuted the claims of al-'Albaniyy against some Ahadith. The Muhaddith of the Morrocan area, ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah al-Ghammariyy, said about the book “it is a good and well written refutation”.
8. Nusrat-ut-Ta^aqqub-il-Hathith ^ala man ta^ana fima sahha min-al-Hadith, published.
9. Al-Mawlid-ush-Sharif, published.
10. Sharh-ul-^Aqidat-in-Nasafiyyah.
11. Sharh-ul-^Aqidat-it-Tahawiyyah.
12. Sharhu Alfiyyat-iz-Zubad in the Shafi^iyy Fiqh.
13. Sharhu Matni Abi Shuja^ in the Shafi^iyy Fiqh.
14. Sharh-us-Sirat-il-Mustaqim.
15. Sharhu Matn-il-^Ashmawiyyah in the Malikiyy Fiqh.
16. Sharhu Mutammimat-il-'Ajurummiyyah in an-Nahw.
17. Sharh-ul-Bayquniyyah in the Science of al-Hadith.
18. Sarih-ul-Bayan fir-raddi ^ala man Khalaf-al-Qur'an, published.
Ash-Shaykh ^Abdullah al-Harariyy is very pious, humble, and worshipful Muslim. He spends his time teaching al-^Ilm and performing ath-thikr (mentioning sentences containing the names of Allah) at the same time. He does not care about acquiring worldly things. He has a good and pure heart. He does not waste a moment without teaching, performing thikr, reciting, admonishing, or guiding. He has the correct belief in Allah and is holding on to al-Qur'an and as-Sunnah. He has a good memory and powerful and brilliant proofs. He is wise, managing things at the right time and place. He refuses and renounces disobeying Allah very much . He has a high effort in bidding al-ma^ruf and forbidding al-munkar (ordering with obedience and prohibiting the disobedience) until the people of misguidance and prohibited innovations feared and envied him. This did not lessen his efforts to fight them, because Allah supports and defends the people who believe in Him.
This was just a summary of his honorable biography. If we wanted to extend it, then the pen would get tired and the pages would overflow, but what we mention is enough by which you would know about him, just like the title of the book indicates the contents of the book.
wal-hamdu-lillah

Ramadan Karim
Muslims all around the world is preparing to welcome Ramadan! Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is also the month of fasting or sawm. The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramiḍa or ar-ramaḍ, which means scorching heat or dryness. The first day of Ramadan is usually determined by observing the hilāl (the crescent), typically a day (or more) after the astronomical…

Taliban head into Afghan cities, raising fears amid Eid euphoria
KABUL (Reuters) – Taliban militants headed into cities across Afghanistan on Sunday as they celebrate their unprecedented Eid ceasefire, raising questions about what happens should the hugs and selfies stop and the festive atmosphere and calls for peace turn sour.
President Ashraf Ghani extended the government ceasefire on Saturday, garnering praise at home and international backing, but critics said such overtures have allowed the Taliban to pour into cities unchecked and win the upper hand.
Ecstatic men and children crowded around the soldiers and Taliban fighters, some who had checked in their weapons at the entrances to cities, over the weekend and urged them to extend their ceasefire into a permanent peace.
Governors and senior government officials hosted small feasts, played music to welcome the Taliban after they announced a three-day ceasefire over Eid, marking the close of the month-long Ramadan fasting season that ends on Sunday.
Ghani, in an address to the nation, urged the Taliban to extend their ceasefire and begin peace talks. He said he wanted to discuss “issues of mutual concern with neighboring countries and the presence of foreign forces”.
His office has yet to declare a new timeframe for the extended ceasefire.
A senior western diplomat in Kabul said Ghani’s decision was “a bold move” but questioned what would happen if the Taliban rejected the fresh ceasefire request.
“The consequences could be disastrous,” he said.
Members of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council supported the decision and urged the Taliban to extend their ceasefire.
“Good steps for peace have been taken, but more steps have to be taken,” said council chairman Karim Khalili.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, echoing Ghani’s remarks, said peace talks would have to include a discussion on the role of “international actors and forces”.
In August, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a more hawkish military approach to Afghanistan, including a surge in air strikes, aimed at forcing the Taliban to the negotiating table.
“Ghani has full blessings of the U.S. administration and it is crucial for the U.S. officials to prove that Trump’s policies are working and talks with the Afghan Taliban are imminent,” said a senior diplomat who met Afghan officials on Sunday to monitor the chance of back-channel talks with Taliban leaders.

The United States wants Pakistan, which it accuses of harboring Afghan Taliban commanders, to exert more influence on the group to bring it to the negotiating table.
The only time direct talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban have been held, in 2015, they broke down almost immediately.
The Taliban are fighting U.S.-led NATO forces, combined under the Resolute Support mission, and Ghani’s U.S.-backed government to restore sharia, or Islamic law, after their ouster by U.S.-led forces in 2001.
But Afghanistan has been at war for four decades, ever since the Soviet invasion in 1979.
A car bomb killed 36 people at a gathering of Taliban and Afghan armed forces in the eastern city of Nangarhar on Saturday. Islamic State claimed responsibility.
On Sunday, Taliban insurgents were traveling freely with their flags and meeting civilians despite curbs imposed on their movement after Islamic State militants targeted the gathering.
“In order to prevent our countrymen from being harmed and… we become a reason for that, all officials should ban all mujahideen (Taliban fighters) under their command from participating in such crowds and gatherings,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman.
Ghani had committed “a grave mistake” by allowing Taliban fighters to enter government-controlled areas, said Amarullah Saleh, a politician and a former head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS).
“We don’t have mechanisms in place to mitigate the breach of ceasefire by the Taliban,” Saleh told Reuters.
Members of parliament opposing Ghani’s move said he had not consulted politicians and would be left with no recourse if the Taliban rejected his impromptu request.
The Taliban already roam huge swaths of the country and, with foreign troop levels of about 15,600, down from 140,000 in 2014, there appears little hope of outright government victory.

For now the atmosphere is festive – a story doing the rounds on social media is that one Talib, after hugging Kabul residents, asked for directions to Baharistan, to the west of Kabul.
“I have heard there is very good ice cream there,” he said.

“In order to prevent our countrymen from being harmed and… we become a reason for that, all officials should ban all mujahideen (Taliban fighters) under their command from participating in such crowds and gatherings,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman.
Ghani had committed “a grave mistake” by allowing Taliban fighters to enter government-controlled areas, said Amarullah Saleh, a politician and a former head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS).
“We don’t have mechanisms in place to mitigate the breach of ceasefire by the Taliban,” Saleh told Reuters.
Members of parliament opposing Ghani’s move said he had not consulted politicians and would be left with no recourse if the Taliban rejected his impromptu request.
The Taliban already roam huge swaths of the country and, with foreign troop levels of about 15,600, down from 140,000 in 2014, there appears little hope of outright government victory.

Taliban head into Afghan cities, raising fears amid Eid euphoria
KABUL (Reuters) – Taliban militants headed into cities across Afghanistan on Sunday as they celebrate their unprecedented Eid ceasefire, raising questions about what happens should the hugs and selfies stop and the festive atmosphere and calls for peace turn sour.
President Ashraf Ghani extended the government ceasefire on Saturday, garnering praise at home and international backing, but critics said such overtures have allowed the Taliban to pour into cities unchecked and win the upper hand.
Ecstatic men and children crowded around the soldiers and Taliban fighters, some who had checked in their weapons at the entrances to cities, over the weekend and urged them to extend their ceasefire into a permanent peace.
Governors and senior government officials hosted small feasts, played music to welcome the Taliban after they announced a three-day ceasefire over Eid, marking the close of the month-long Ramadan fasting season that ends on Sunday.
Ghani, in an address to the nation, urged the Taliban to extend their ceasefire and begin peace talks. He said he wanted to discuss “issues of mutual concern with neighboring countries and the presence of foreign forces”.
His office has yet to declare a new timeframe for the extended ceasefire.
A senior western diplomat in Kabul said Ghani’s decision was “a bold move” but questioned what would happen if the Taliban rejected the fresh ceasefire request.
“The consequences could be disastrous,” he said.
Members of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council supported the decision and urged the Taliban to extend their ceasefire.
“Good steps for peace have been taken, but more steps have to be taken,” said council chairman Karim Khalili.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, echoing Ghani’s remarks, said peace talks would have to include a discussion on the role of “international actors and forces”.
In August, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a more hawkish military approach to Afghanistan, including a surge in air strikes, aimed at forcing the Taliban to the negotiating table.
“Ghani has full blessings of the U.S. administration and it is crucial for the U.S. officials to prove that Trump’s policies are working and talks with the Afghan Taliban are imminent,” said a senior diplomat who met Afghan officials on Sunday to monitor the chance of back-channel talks with Taliban leaders.

The United States wants Pakistan, which it accuses of harboring Afghan Taliban commanders, to exert more influence on the group to bring it to the negotiating table.
The only time direct talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban have been held, in 2015, they broke down almost immediately.
The Taliban are fighting U.S.-led NATO forces, combined under the Resolute Support mission, and Ghani’s U.S.-backed government to restore sharia, or Islamic law, after their ouster by U.S.-led forces in 2001.
But Afghanistan has been at war for four decades, ever since the Soviet invasion in 1979.

Masjid Al-Adl
Sunni Mosque, est. 1981, Glencliff
Nestled in a beautiful grove of oak, hickory, and elm, this mosque is the heart of a community rich in faith and kindness. Beauty, too: that blue-green glass dome swims overhead, the walls swirl with calligraphy. Farm-fresh fruits and vegetables stock the kitchens. Children gather around scrolls and art projects. Daily prayers ring out, resounding through the musallah’s bright arches. Depending on when you stop by, you might come across a place of peaceful contemplation, a full, lively hall of worship, or exuberant charitable works-in-progress; but always, you’ll find a warm welcome. And sanctuary, offered to all who seek it.
The trees that now shade the property were planted under the direction of the mosque’s founder, Imam Karim Ershadi. The congregation continues this act of sadaqa every spring and summer, planting saplings with the city’s urban greening projects and reforestation efforts around local reserves, like Cheatham WMA.
Ignorance and cruelty have come banging at Masjid Al-Adl’s doors many times. The mosque has been defaced, threatened, and, in 2009, the cemetery was struck by a heartbreaking attack. Over eighty headstones were smashed, and many of the flowerbeds ruined; Temple Mizpah, the parish of St. Dunstan’s, and other local organizations came forward to help, with funds and volunteers.
Foremost among Masjid Al-Adl’s many charitable undertakings is their food pantry, which supplies grocery and meal programs, congregational picnics, and open iftar meals during Ramadan. The produce is all grown in town and donated by congregants, like Nasim Nejem, proprietor of the Cumberland Farm to Table. Other work includes a range of counselling, zakat services, and volunteering at city events, like the Country Music Marathon.

Ramadan Karim
Muslims all around the world is preparing to welcome Ramadan! Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is also the month of fasting or sawm. The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramiḍa or ar-ramaḍ, which means scorching heat or dryness.
