Sopey Cheikhul Khadim, Inc. is hosting its very first fund raising event which resources will be destined to boosting the financial independence of its Front Store and honouring its financial obligations to be able to pursue its mission. It has been a difficult year for the management (financially) due to an economic downturn. Nevertheless we are more that determined to keep the place running and continue servicing the Muslim community and satisfy demand from many other people.

At this critical time where so many false accusations, wrong interpretations and negatives attitudes motivated by worldly gains and political retributions, are tarnishing Islam and twisting its universal message, it behooves us Muslims to speak up and have a word in order to explain clearly Islam’s positions regarding issues such as: Peace, love and Mercy towards our kinsmen and humankind.
Allah (SWT) has clearly delineated, in the Holy Quran, straight paths that could not fail mankind in its quest for lasting Peace and love, supported by His infallible Mercy.
From these regards, we will try in this humble presentation to review these tenets of Islam and as a reminder show to our non Muslim counterparts that the message of Islam has always been and will remain that of Peace, Love and mercy.

A servant can only free himself from the devil through sincere devotion, for Allah tells us in the Quran that Iblis (Satan) said to Him: Except those of Your servants who are sincere. (38:83) Sincerity is the freeing of one's intentions from all impurities in order to come nearer to Allah (God). It is to ensure that the intentions behind all acts of worship and obedience to Allah are exclusively for His pleasure. It is the perpetual contemplation of the Creator, to the extent that one forgets the creation. Sincerity is a condition for Allah's acceptance of good deeds performed in accordance with the sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad , may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah has commanded this in the Qur'an: "And they have been commanded to worship only Allah, being sincere towards Him in their faith and true." (98:5)
