He has definitely carried out his responsibilities for his team. His role in the UEFA champions league 2018 was huge, scoring a crazy amount of 32 goals.

Find Mosques and Prayer places in Bardford 1. myLahore Picture Credit: www.instagram.com, MyLahore I would definitely recommend the Desi Chicken Stir Fry that is served with a special sauce! From humble beginnings, in Bradford, myLahore has shot up to national fame with branches in a few of the popular cities in England. The original, which is extremely popular among diners from all over the UK, boasts packed out weekends with many hopefuls having to turn their backs and looking for another place to dine or having to wait for an hour (if you’re lucky). The freshly prepared food is delivered with excellent service and myLahore is the perfect place to enjoy a meal out with a loved one or simply to catch up with a friend. The dishes and tastes vary, allowing a calm weekday meal or a fiery weekend delight. Curries, italian, grilled and veggie dishes are all available on the menu with a cheeky burger menu too. Check out their menu to have a gauge on how wild this restaurant really is! Most importantly, they are Halal-certified. Tip: You might want to reserve a table if you are planning to dine in on a Friday, Saturday or a Sunday for dinner. Also, they have facilities for Muslims to pray, both men and women. Cuisine: Pakistani, ItalianAddress: 52 Great Horton Road, Bradford, BD7 1AL, EnglandOpening Hours: 12PM to 12AM (Mondays to Thursdays) 12PM to 1AM (Fridays) 1PM to 1AM (Saturdays) 1PM to 12AM (Sundays)Price Range: £4.00 and upwardsReservation: AvailableContact: +4401274 308508Website: www.mylahore.co.uk Facebook | Instagram | Twitter 2. Rawal Kebab House Pictire Credit: www.asianexpress.co.uk My personal favourite on the list is the Rawal Kebab House. At this point, you might wonder why is it second, well I’ll get to that, but first get ready to emerge yourself in an amazing food fest. Nearly every single item from the menu is recommended, ranging from all the different types of cuisines but I would definitely recommend the salt & pepper wings and chips or the Chicken Tikka Masala. The former would definitely get your taste buds bouncing. Now getting to my point as to why it is second though this is a drooling place it will give a harder punch to your wallet than myLahore, but if you ever travel the UK and you happen to be in Bradford it is highly recommended that you give the Rawal Kebab House a shot! Make sure you devour each and every last piece. Tip: They also have a prayer place, convenient for Muslims to pray at anytime of the day. Cuisine: Pakistani, IndianAddress: 254a Barkerend Road, Bradford, BD3 9DB, EnglandOpening Hours: 4.30PM to 12.30AM (Everyday)Price Range: £4.00 and upwardsReservation: AvailableContact: +4401274 727070 3. Bab Tooma Syrian Restaurant Picture Credit: www.facebook.com, Bab Tooma A unique fighter amongst the food republic in Bradford which does consist of mainly Pakistani and Indian restaurants is this sweet Syrian place. The Middle Eastern cuisines offered really add a twist in your normal choices of burger and chips offered in the locality. The food is displayed in front of you in an artistic fashion almost with an eloquence. The prices don’t go above and beyond but are fairly manageable, so long as you’re not planning to pay for 10 people. You can have a nice meal with friends and family here, and enjoy the beautiful decor with it. If you are a fish lover, I would recommend getting the Samak Mashwi! Cuisine: Middle EasternAddress: 18 Wilton Street, Bradford, BD5 0AX, EnglandOpening Hours: 12PM to 11PM (Mondays to Saturdays) 12PM to 10PM (Sundays)Price Range: £4.00 and upwardsReservation: AvailableContact: +4401274921616Website: www.babtooma.co.uk Facebook 4. Cafe de Akbars One of the elitist in the restaurant category in Bradford, Cafe de Akbars is a true delight. Like myLahore, it is busy as a bee, and it is highly recommended that you make a reservation during the weekends and weekdays to avoid disappointment. Check out their menu first to know exactly what to get! The monotone colour of the decor doesn’t do its food justice but it does give it a unique charisma compared to the other flamboyant restaurants. This can get a little more on the pricier side but it is still worth every penny. Recommend is the Italian chicken penne, the simple chicken steak or the more extreme chicken tikka masala desi which is made with the chefs special spices. Tip: Also you need not worry, they offer a place to pray when it comes to prayer times. Cuisine: Pakistani, Indian, ItalianAddress: 1422-1424 Leeds Rd, Bradford, BD3 7AE, EnglandOpening Hours: 12PM to 12AM (Mondays to Saturdays) 2PM to 10PM (Sundays)Price Range: £4.00 and upwardsReservation: AvailableContact: +4401274 664005Website: www.akbars.co.uk Facebook 5. Bangkok Thai Restaurant The South East Asian inspired place, makes a good contender for Halal places to eat in Bradford, though not every dish maybe halal, majority are. Bangkok Thai is unique in its decor and delivering of food, taken glimpses of what the Japanese do with the serving of their food, the chefs and prepares put an extra effort in making there food look beautiful. They have seating for groups or couple and loners (just me) too. The Gaeng Phed Gai is recommended but watch out for the bamboo shoots. Certainly, this thai restaurant delivers the best dishes right here in Bradford. The costs for this are in the same ballpark as myLahore, so it won’t be breaking your bank with a trip here. The only major down fall to this place is they may sell alcohol. Cuisine: ThaiAddress: 18 East Parade, Bradford, BD1 5EE, EnglandOpening Hours: 5PM to 10PM (Tuesdays to Thursdays) 12PM to 2PM, 5PM to 11PM (Fridays) 5PM to 11PM (Saturdays) 2PM to 9.30PM (Sundays)Price Range: £4.50 and upwardsReservation: AvailableContact: +4401274 788333Website: www.bangkokthai.uk Facebook | Twitter If you ever want to dazzle your taste buds further, find Halal food near you in Bradford with the help of the HalalTrip Mobile app helps you easily find the places you'd enjoy!...
What Is The Meaning of Nikkah? Picture Credit - www.vitalaims.pk Nikkah is the Islamic marriage ceremony that occurs between a Muslim man and Muslim woman, combining their lives as partners going forward. It is a personal contract as well as a social announcement of such a contract. Getting married is said to “complete half of somebody's deen” and is an act that is strongly encouraged by Qur'an and Sunnah. "And one of His signs is that He has created for you, spouses from amongst yourselves so that you might take comfort in them and He has placed between you, love and mercy. In this, there is surely evidence (of the truth) for the people who carefully think." - [Al-Qur'an: Surah 30, Verse 21] The Prophet Muhammed (saw) said: “Marriage is my Sunnah. Whosoever keeps away from it is not from me.” - [Sahih-Al-Bukhari] Steps to Getting Married in Islam The stages of a Muslim Nikah ceremony are as follows: 1. Consideration Picture Credit - www.justnikkah.com This is the first step of a Muslim wedding. Usually, the elders in the family will seek a suitable partner for their children through friends, family, or marriage consultants. The proposal for marriage is then sent to either the bride or the groom's parents. Alternatively, a young man may approach the father or guardian (wali) of the woman he wishes to marry and ask for her hand. “A woman may be married for 4 reasons: for her property, her family status, her beauty and her piousness in religion, blessed are those that marry her because of her deen (piousness).” - [Sahih-al-Bukhari & Sahih-al-Muslim] Note: There is no intermingling of two non-mahrams or “dating” allowed before getting married. The bride and the groom are however allowed to meet and talk in a controlled setting with a mahram (father/brother/guardian) present. 2. Consent Picture Credit - www.yorkplacestudios.co.uk The sought out party will then accept the proposal after receiving consent from the man/woman who is to get married. This is a very important step as there is no moving forward if there is no consent. Any conditions/ terms of marriage must be agreed upon before moving further as well (e.g. moving to another country after marriage, etc.) Khansa bint Khidam Al-Ansariya narrated that her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she went to Allah's Apostle and he declared that marriage invalid. - [Sahih-al-Bukhari] 3. Nikah Picture Credit - www.mccminnesota.org Then comes Nikah, which is the actual ceremony of marriage. There are few things that are involved in the Nikah being valid. They are: - Mahr: The groom must present the bride with “mahr”, a marriage gift or dower. It may be in the form of money, jewellery, or other things of value, or even a simple act. There is no specified amount or description for mahr, it depends on different people and their cultures. Mahr may be paid upfront, promised at a later date, or a combination of both. “And give the women (on marriage) their dowry as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it and enjoy it with right good cheer.” - [Qur'an 4:4] Sahl bin Sad (rali) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said to a man, "Marry, even with (a Mahr equal to) an iron ring." - [Sahih-al-Bukhari] - Ijab-o-Qubool: Then comes “Ijab” expressing the willingness to get married and “qubool” acceptance of the offer. Qubool is usually granted by the wali on behalf of the bride. A written contract (Aqd-Nikah) is then signed by the bride, groom, and two witnesses of sane mind (two males, or one male and two females). The wali must also be present, otherwise, the marriage is invalid. - Khutbah: The Imam (or any other knowledgeable Muslim) will then address the people gathered at the Nikah ceremony and the bride and groom with a sermon, most often about Islamic marriages and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (saw). 4. Waleema Picture Credit - www.maharaniweddings.com Once the Nikah is over, a wedding banquet called the “walima” is held by the groom. One of the main purposes of a walima is to let the community know that a marriage has taken place between two people, this is important as secret marriages are discouraged and a marriage is only said to be valid if it is made known. The other purpose of a waleema is to celebrate with friends, family and loved ones. It is also very important that the poor people of the community are invited to the banquet along with everyone else. It is better when the ceremony isn't extravagant or wasteful, as the Prophet (saw) has said: “The most blessed nikah is the one with the least expenses.” - [Al-Bayhaqi] He (saw) also said: “The worst food is that of a wedding banquet (walima) to which only the rich are invited whilst the poor are not invited. And he who refuses an invitation (to a banquet) disobeys Allah and His Messenger (saw).” - [Sahih-al-Bukhari] Narrated by Anas: “The Prophet did not give a better wedding banquet on the occasion of marrying any of his wives than the one he gave on marrying Zainab, and that banquet was with (consisted of) one sheep.” - [Sahih-al-Bukhari] Where to Find Nikah Services Picture Credit - www.thecitycircle.com There are many agencies around the world that provide Nikah services. Think of them as a matchmaking platform, only that these Muslim wedding services are completely Halal. Some of them exist purely offline, but most are taking their platforms online to keep up with the modern world. Of course, the process will depend on the particular country and the particular agency (even though the process of Nikah is well defined and exact, the process of finding a partner is not). There are many places that offer Nikah services that do not include the process of finding a match but do guide you through everything else, i.e. registration, overseeing of the ceremony, etc. If you are unsure of where to go for Nikah services in your country, your closest mosque would be the best bet. Even if they themselves do not provide such services, they will be able to direct you to those who do. Here are some places where you can find Nikah services and other useful information in a few countries around the world: Singapore Sultan Mosque http://sultanmosque.sg/services/wedding-solemnisation (65) 6293 4405 / 6293 4043 Masjid Al-Islah 6312 5174 https://alislah.sg/corporate-services Online: Registration of Muslim Marriages (ROMM) – Singapore Government https://www.romm.gov.sg/index.asp Nakkahwin - Malay Muslim Marriage Portal http://www.nakkahwin.com/ WannaGetMarried – Chinese, Indian, and Western Marriage Portal http://www.wannagetmarried.com/ Malaysia Masjid Wilayah http://www.masjidwilayah.gov.my/index.php/prosedur/prosedur-perkahwinan-di-wilayah-persekutuan 03-6201 8791/8767/8780 Online: SingleMuslim https://www.singlemuslim.com/content/international/Malaysia%20Nikah Find Your Muslim Partner http://www.findyourmuslimpartner.com/page/uk/muslim-marriage-malaysia/ Indonesia Masjid Agung Sunda Kelapa (Jakarta) +62 21 31934261 Istiqlal Mosque (Jakarta) +62 21 3811708 Sri Lanka Wekanda Jumma Masjid (Colombo) http://wekandamasjid.com/ 011 2320355 Online: Sri Lanka Nikah Service https://srilankanikahservice.wordpress.com/ Nikah Lanka http://nikahlanka.com/ India Kathija Nikah Muslim Matrimony Services (Chennai) http://www.kathijanikah.com/ +91 9941697533 / 9941697956 Marriage Solutions (Delhi) http://marriageregistrationindelhi.com/India-Delhi-NCR-Nikah?id=4798 9868219296 Nikah Qubool (Bangalore) +(91)-80-23536177 Nikah Matrimonial Service (Mumbai) +(91)-22-23742687 Humsafar Marriage Bureau (Kolkata) +91 97484 33019 Hyderabad Nikah (Hyderabad) +91 1800 121 4787 Online: Nikah In Kerala https://www.nikahinkerala.com/ Nikahnamah – Muslim Matrimonial http://www.nikahnamah.com/ Rishta Matrimonial http://www.rishtaforyou.com/ Register Marriage http://registermarriage.in/ Taqwa Marriage http://taqwamarriage.com/about-muslim-marriage-bureau United Kingdom Al-Ihsan Marriage Service (London) https://alihsanmarriage.co.uk/ +44 20 7650 3026 Swansea Mosque and Islamic Community Center (Wales) https://www.swanseamosque.org/nikkah-marriage-services/ London Central Mosque (London) http://iccuk.org/ +44 20 7724 3363 Birmingham Central Mosque (Birmingham) http://centralmosque.org.uk/services/marriage-bureau/ +44 121 440 5355 Epsom and Ewell Islamic Society (EEIS) (Surrey) http://www.eeis.co.uk/index.php/nikah-service 01372 210 828 Leeds Grand Mosque (Leeds) http://www.leedsgrandmosque.com/services/marriage 01132468789 Online: Nikah Services http://www.nikahservices.co.uk/ The United States of America Frisco Masjid, Inc.
