Hijama: Sunnah Healing

What is Hijama / Cupping Therapy?

Cupping is a method of relieving local congestion by applying a partial vacuum that is created in a cup(s), either by heat or by suction. Cupping has been used for thousands of years. Although it is often associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, the entire world once knew this of therapy and used it. The Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Chinese used cupping therapy. The oldest recorded medical textbook, Ebers Papyrus, written in approximately 1550 BC in Egypt, mentions cupping (Curtis, 2005).

Say NO To PREVENT

They are at it again!

PREVENT Officers in co-ordination with various Police Constabularies across the UK have been harassing members of the Muslim Community and contacting Masjids and Islamic Charities.

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, UK counter-terrorism police have conducted a series of raids and arrests, all in connection with Syria. Whether it has been Moazzam Begg, the Tahari family, or the heads of UK Muslim Charities, a message is being sent by the UK authorities that contributing through civil society to aid the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria is being made forbidden to the Muslim Community specifically.

EVENT REVIEW: Is Islam Being Criminalised?

The new month (Rabi' al-Awwal, just in case you were thinking January) was witness to a blessed gathering in Manchester on Saturday. Wrong again, it wasn’t at the Etihaad Stadium, but the Eastern Pearl Banqueting Hall. Over six hundred Muslims (or were they Islamists?), both male and female (with segregated seating, I must add, out of choice), of all ages (though males aged 18- 40, better watch out, you do qualify as potential combatants) made a hijrah to listen to a much esteemed panel of speakers (or was it preachers of hate?).

CagePrisoners Responds To Cancelled Event in Manchester

It is with regret that CagePrisoners announces the cancellation of the event “You think you know Guantanamo Bay?” which was scheduled for Thursday 18 April at Manchester Metropolitan Business School.

CagePrisoners were not the organisers of the event but provided speakers. The evening was organised by local students, and featured Jahanghir Mohammed an adviser to CagePrisoners, and Omar Deghayes, a Board Member, as well as two local respected solicitors. It provided a unique opportunity for local students to get involved and hear about the important issues of justice, abuse of human rights and how to voice their concerns and work for change, in a responsible manner, as Cage has done for many years now.

ANTI-MUSLIM ATTACKS: Telling MAMA Is Not Going to Solve the Problem

Islamophobia has not only passed the dinner table test but it has permeated British society at every level. The media, politicians, security services, policymakers and other public institutions can all be held responsible for the rise in anti-Muslim sentiment over the past few years.

Speaking at a dinner held by a new government-backed organisation, Tell MAMA - set up to monitor anti-Muslim attacks - Baroness Sayeeda Warsi the Conservative Minister for Faith and Communities, hit out at the media, which she claimed fuels the rising level of hatred and suspicion of British Muslims.
