Part 1 – Friday Night Islamic History: Ramadhan, the Month of Resistance | The Opening of Al-Andalus At Masjid al Noor, Lancaster, Mawlānā Mohammed Adil Tagari delivered a powerful reminder on Ramadhan as the month of resistance — resisting the nafs, distractions, and injustice. Reflecting on the Opening of Al-Andalus in 711 CE, he highlighted how faith, discipline, unity, and clear vision enabled the Ummah to accomplish what once seemed impossible. The reminder was not simply a look back at history, but a timely reflection on how Muslims today can face modern challenges with strength, clarity, and reliance upon Allah. May Allah allow us to benefit from these lessons and make this Ramadhan a means of renewal, strength, and transformation. Āmīn.
