In modern times many married couple are unhappy in their relationships; there tend to be many arguments resulting in a couple moving away from each other. There has been an alarming rise in divorce rates amongst British Muslims.
There are multiple factors that contribute to arguments arising in a marriage and a marriage ending in divorce, and each case is different. This situation raises many questions:
- Is it that we are spending longer preparing for the wedding, as opposed to preparing for the married life ahead of us?
- Is it because of family and friends’ interference/ lack of interference that relationships breakdown?
- Does divorce take place because it is pre-destined that the marriage will result in divorce?
- Are some marriages failing because of lack of spirituality in the spouses?
- Is it because couples expect too much from each other, these days?
- Is it because it is easy and fashionable to get divorced now?
- Are there occasions when a couple can have an argument?
In order to discuss the above and many more questions, Leeds Makkah Masjid presents the following seminar.
Topic: Marriage: Avoiding Conflicts & Arguments.

Islam attaches great importance to marriage, with traditions stating that “marriage is half of the religion”. In a hadith, the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said:“Marriage is my way of living, whoever chose other than that is not one of mine.”
Every year hundreds of British Muslims get married. During the spring and summer, hardly a weekend goes by without a wedding in the community. The Questions arise:
- Do we think before we say “I do, I do, I do”?
- What is the criteria given by Islam for finding a suitable spouse?
- Is there such thing as the Art of Living Together?
- Do we consider the challenges that a marriage throws up and how they can be resolved before getting married and during our married life?
- How did the Prophet (peace be upon him0lived his married life?
In order to discuss the above and many more questions, Leeds Makkah Masjid presents a seminar on Sunday 20 May 2012.
Topic: Introduction to Marriage: Think Before You Say ‘I do’.
Date: Sunday 20 May 2012 at 6pm
Venue: Makkah Masjid 36 Thornville Road Leeds LS6 1JY

Following on from last week’s session on Destiny-v-Free Choice, this week’s study circle will look at Unhappy Marriage-v- A Mach Made in Heaven. We often hear the phrase “a mach is made in Heaven”.
A Mach Made in Heaven
Does it mean that our spouses are pre-destined?
Does that mean we need not search for a suitable spouse because a Prince or a Princess is out there for each one of us and will eventually come in our lives?
If a marriage has not worked out, does it mean that it was in our destiny /taqdeer/Qismat that there was going to be a breakdown in relationship, perhaps resulting in a divorce?
In order to discuss the above and many more questions, Leeds Makkah Masjid presents a seminar on Sunday 13 May 2012.

This Week’s study circle will discuss the belief and concept of Destiny. The following are some of the Questions that will be considered during the session:
- Who is in charge of my actions: Allah or me or both?
- Is it already written that some people will go to Paradise?
- Do we have any free will if our fate/taqdeer is already written?
- Can our du’as (supplications) change destiny and are they of much avail?
- Is it already written, who I am going to marry or whether I am going to be successful in an exam?
- If it is already written that something bad is going to happen, then what is the point in trying to stop it?
- If destiny is already determined, how can good deeds increase in one’s sustenance, and avert calamities?
- If fate is already written, how does Islam view individuals competing with each other for jobs and wealth?
The talk will be given by Imam Qari Muhammad Asim.

Some argue that a Muslim should “follow the Qur’an and sunna instead of the madhhabs”. Madhabs being the four prominent schools of thought.
There is no argument over following the Qur’an and the sunnah. The reason why madhhabs exist, the benefit of them, is that they furnish thousands of sound, knowledge-based answers to Muslims questions on how to obey Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him).
A workshop is held to discuss the question of Madhabs: To follow or not to follow?
Brothers and sisters are welcome.
Date: Sunday 30th October 2011

Makkah Masjid is pleased to inform you that Kirklees Imam and Mosque Advisory Board is launching one of the books authored by Imam of Makkah Mosque, Qari Muhammad Asim, on the pertinent topic of Youth Engagement.
Maulana Mohammed Amin Pandor, Chairman of the Kirklees Imams and Mosques Advisory Board said: “although Kirklees did not witness the recent riots by young people in different parts of the country we are not complacent and, therefore, are launching this toolkit to step up the pace of engagement with our young people to increase their stake holding in their local communities and to nurture a sense of leadership as they truly are our future”.
“This study undertaken by Qari Muhammad Asim will help Mosques across Kirklees to strengthen the good work they are already doing to develop our young people to be good citizens and become positive role models for everyone in our communities”, he said.
