Peace Be Upon You

With the ongoing conflict in many parts of the world and death and destruction rampant we invite you to light a candle for peace. Click on an unlit candle to light it. Click on the image below to be taken to the 'Light a candle for Peace' Page.



Please leave your comments in the guestbook present on the page to show your support :)

I dnt see how lighting a candle is gonna do anything.
 
:sl:

Bro akulion you have the right niya but this is imatating the kufar, when in times of joy and need we make dua not lighting candels inshallah they're in my duas.
 
well if you don't see it then don't light it, but nobody needs to hear your ignorance right about now, we need to pray , pray all day and everyday for peace,

I was just thinking that. I'm pretty sure lighting candles for religious purposes like this is not part of Islam. Make dua, it's Islamic and it actually works!
:w:
 
oh come on guys stop fighting..its a thread about peace :P not about fighting lol

lighting a candle was selected primarily because lighting candles is not haram

additionally it would appeal to all people not just muslims

so since peace is achieved through unity for a purpose not through division, thus lighting a candle for peace

That's b'coz u dont see the essence of it. The web site clearly says: Path To Peace, promoting peace through understanding. It's the ordinary people like u and me who r going 2 make the difference. If only all people in the world can truly grasps the meaning of it, then we might not have to fight each other for anything's trivial....:rollseyes

It might not change their decisions outright, but it will be known that they have people who oppose what they stand for. That's something.

That's a pretty neat site, akulion.:thankyou:

Ma'assalama
 
I agree and i also feel it's an postive outlet to let others know they are not only ones hurting and who are in pain bcuz some us may say we care but we really don't becuz we are not over there, Aku and other members are actually over there having to deal with this all of there lives and i am was just trying to show others that i support your cause,


as for the fighting i don't fight, that's shaytann and I pray that Allah guides on a path to peace


peace
 
Salam Alaikum:

For goodness sakes. This is simply a show of support and unity. No one is asking anyone to pray over a candle. Everytime a candle is lit, the number of supporters go up. It has nothing to do with religion, it has everything to do with unity and support with ALL people.

I don't pray over the candle, I don't pray when I light the candle, I don't sing happy birthday or any other song. I make dua as per my religious teachings when I pray and never light a candle in that endeavor.

Sheesh, seems you can't even do something promote peace without someone making an issue of it. Islam isn't against peace or unity. Path to Peace, promotes tolerance and understanding through peace and all are welcome there.

Some say it imitates the kaffur, well lighting a candle was necessary before electricity and still is when the power goes out. Rest assure I will light a candle when that happens regardless of the fact my Christian neighbours do! It happens to be a candle big deal!! I suppose it could have been "poke the bear in the eye" to show your support but how peaceful is that. :rollseyes

Anyway, show your support or don't...the choice is yours. But not everything is imitating non muslims. And if that's the case, you might wanna check what you're wearing under your clothes, 'cause I'm thinking non muslims wear those too.

Hard to believe promoting peace can cause fighting. :heated:

Wasalam,
Hana
 
it wnt, itll just waste candels n match sticks. i say save the trees.
 
since you put it that way..Daffodil, my apoligies for the comment i made (Which has been deleted by some Mod).

Please, learn to respect the opinions of others, you have an extremist point of view on every matter that ever arises, don't shove your opinions down everyones throats.

If you are about to go jump off a bridge, dont expect everyone else to do the same.

Live and let live.
