 <title>UEA Islamic Society &amp; Norwich &amp; Norfolk Muslim Association invite You to have Iftar in Norwich City Centre on Saturday 12-09-09</title>
 <link>http://www.norwichmuslims.org/node/725</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong &gt;Ramadan, the month of fasting, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and lasts either 29 or 30 days. Because Muslims follow a lunar calendar, the official beginning which was on 22nd August this year, occurs 11 days earlier each year. Fasting or Sawm, is practiced during the entire month, during which time eating, drinking (including water) and all bodily pleasures are forbidden during the hours of daylight. When hungry and thirsty, Muslims remember the suffering of the poor. There is an increased compassion for those in need of the basic necessities of life, a sense of self-purification and reflection and a renewed focus on spirituality. Muslims appreciate the feeling of togetherness shared by family and friends throughout the month. It is an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. Perhaps the greatest benefit is the annual lesson in self restraint and discipline that can carry forward to all other aspects of a Muslim’s life including work and education.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Build Yourself a House in Paradise, an Urgent  Appeal</title>
 <link>http://www.norwichmuslims.org/node/715</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong &gt;Assalamu alikoum wa Rahmatu Allah&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said&#039;&lt;strong &gt;&#039;whoever built a Masjid in Aldunya Allah will build him/her a house in Paradise&#039;&#039;.&lt;/strong&gt; Nowich and Norfolk Muslim Association is aiming to establish a community centre in Norwich to fulfill the urgent need for such a facility. The centre will be opened to all Muslims as well as the non-Muslims in Norfolk. We are hoping to have a small school in the centre to teach Arabic language and Qur&#039;an for both adults and children, a nursery and obviously a prayer facility that accommodates the growing Muslim community in Norwich.&lt;/p&gt;
