Fasting regularly removes the screen that thwarts us from reaching greater and higher spiritual levels. If we look around us, we will find countless people indulging in their every desire and greed. Their greed for wealth, for example, causes a barrier between them and what is honourable. Others overtax their bodies by indulging in everything that arouses their appetite.
How appropriate the statement of some of the sahabah (companions) who said: “Man has not filled a container worse than his stomach.” Jesus used to say to his disciples: “Do not eat much, otherwise you will drink much and your hearts will become hard.”
Every Muslim is a congregant of some mosque and as a result becomes involved in its affairs either directly or indirectly. Since most mosques are governed by or have a Western-orientated constitution, this book examines its constitutionality from an Islamic perspective and assesses its validity as a guide to administering the affairs of a mosque.

Abdurraghiem Hasan Sallie explains the Shariah’s (Islamic Law) guide to good mosque governance, its laws and how to implement them. The principle of consultation (Shura) is impressed upon, without fail, in all discussions, agreements and disagreements. The author uses practical examples from the Sunnah (practices of the Prophet Muhammad) as historical background to the laws about mosques in Islam. In particular, Sallie outlines how the four great mosques in Islam were established and expels myths about the Ka’bah.
Keeping simple but functional structures is encouraged, and not over-beautifying is clarified under discussion on the construction and utilisation of mosques. The book, from the viewpoint of the Four Major Schools of Thought in Islam (Madha-hib), offers guidance on appointing an Imam (religious leader) and its criteria, the purpose and sanctity of a mosque, the mosque as a community centre, the financial administration of a mosque, and the mosque as waqf (communal property).
The mosque is the forum where Muslims are kept informed about local, foreign, environmental, socio-economic, political and world affairs. Here matters of policy are discussed, resolved and disseminated. A veritable host of statements relates that the Prophet’s The mosque served variously as the seat of government, a prison, a court of law, the Treasury, a school, a welfare centre, war office, and for every other matter affecting the socio-economic or religious affairs of its citizens.
Every mosque, constructed the world over, becomes the living heart of its Muslim community. It is a very important symbol of Islam and of pivotal importance to the Islamic system to perform congregational prayers and to propagate the religion. Facing the Qiblah in the mosque provides a Muslim not only with a spiritual direction but also with a social and moral direction. This place of worship is where the concept of equality and fraternity is propagated and practised as preached by Islam.
Islam emphasises the belief in what God (Allah) decrees. So when we are afflicted with calamities or have important decisions to make in life, who or what do we turn to?
In today’s world where the use of fortune-tellers, sorcery, grave worshipping and witchcraft are so widespread, the author provides an insight into the clear direction Islam takes when it comes to using such avenues in one’s daily existence.

This is in terms of the choices we make and the beliefs or superstitions we almost deem as fact. In doing so we deviate from the Qur’an and the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). The power of prayer to Allah alone, the knowledge of the unseen and astrology are among the issues explored in this 96-page publication. Abdurraghiem Hasan Sallie, a leading Muslim scholar in South Africa, dispels the avenues of the supernatural that govern some people’s lives.
The person who frequents the sorcerer to have his life sorted out is like a drug addict who craves for the next fix to obliterate reality while he is on a high. This is when his muddled brain is so confused that he believes anything that is related to him. This is the time when his senses wave him goodbye and he willingly indulges in black arts. My mission is to warn my Muslim brothers and sisters that those who indulge in the supernatural, for whatever reason, and feel pleased with themselves, could in some cases find themselves outside the fold of Islam. For a Muslim, this is a very serious indictment. It is like being condemned to Eternal Hell”
