The Semi Finalists from the 16th August

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

I pray that you’re in the best of help and imaan as always.

Below are the semi-finalists from the 16th August:

Naat Competition*

  • Zobia Naz – aged 9
  • Adam Khan – aged 9
  • Naveed and Hameed Khaliq – aged 15
  • Usama Malik – aged 16

Qiraat Competition

  • Simran Ali – aged 11
  • Harris Hussain – aged 10
  • Gulshan Salim – aged 11

Well done to all those who have qualified for the semi-finals and commiserations to those who didn’t make it. Keep working hard and pracitising because it (so far) has been a very close competition!

P.S. there will be a freestyle show (where anyone can ring in) commencing from the 25th of August 2011.

* as the marking was so close, after a long time analysing the competitor’s efforts, the judges could not decide on the three to go through. As they came to this conclusion, they felt that it would be fair if four (on this occasion) progressed.

Take care.

JazakumAllahu Khaira.

Remember the Crescent Radio team in your duas.

Ramadhan Mubarak! Ramadhan will begin tomorrow (Monday) Inshaa’Allah here in Rochdale.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakhatuhu!

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

Just a quick message from myself and on behalf of the team here at Crescent Community Radio; Ramadhan Mubarak from all of us!! We wish you all a happy and fantastic Ramadhan :-D .

Below is a dua I devised which we can all use insha’Allah in this blessed month. Excuse the english as it’s partly in slang due to it being taken from my Facebook posts :-) .

My saviour, my best friend, why do i be ignorant? U neva left my side esp in times of need, it’s time I remember u more than ever and make the most out of ur month and also to bless me in this time. O Lord of the worlds, help nd give me tawfeeq to continue afterwrds iA ameen!
May Allah make us take the most out of this month, to benefit, to reflect, to see why we love him and why he loves us so much. To get closer to him (swt), to praise him constantly and to recite ur ever-beautiful names.
O Allah protect us from the fire, the punishment of the grave and the hereafter. May u also O great one, make our last deeds out best and to make our best day the day that we meet u!
O Allah this is your month, the month where u released the book success for us (the Holy Qur’an). This is the month where the devils are chained and the doors of ur mercy constantly opened.
O Most Merciful, Most gracious, The King of Kings, Lord of the worlds, make every second of your month be in worship and to recite ur Qur’an in a slow and beautiful manner, pondering on the meaning of ur wrds. Insha’Allah and ameen!

Remember the team in your duas.
Take care

Allah keep you on the straight path, bless you and keep you in the best of health and imaan as always ;-) .

Wa alaikum us salam.
