Terrible events unfolding the world over. It was Ankara. Now Brussels

Imam Zaid Shakir " Not in Our Names: Islam’s Total Rejection of Suicidal Terrorism The recent atrocious, barbaric, condemnable, despicable attacks in Brussels should move every Muslim to swift, unqualified condemnation. Why? Because as Muslims we are taught that murder is wrong. We are taught that suicide is wrong. We are taught that retaliating against unsuspecting innocent people for real or perceived injustices is wrong. We are taught that violating the sanctity of public space is wrong. These things are all unconditionally wrong, and I unequivocally condemn them.  Attributing these crimes to Islam is also wrong. Dead wrong. Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) informed us, “No one of you murders at the time that he kills and remains a believer. Therefore, beware, beware (Ibn Hibban, 5979)!” To clarify, the murderer is engaging in an act that true faith would have prevented, hence, his engaging in such a reprehensible act is a sign that he does not truly believe....

An Open Letter to Donald Trump by Brandon Stanton

An Open Letter to Donald Trump: Mr. Trump, I try my hardest not to be political.  I’ve refused to interview several of your fellow candidates.  I didn’t want to risk any personal goodwill by appearing to take sides in a contentious election.  I thought: ‘Maybe the timing is not right.’  But I realize now that there is no correct time to oppose violence and prejudice.  The time is always now.  Because along with millions of Americans, I’ve come to realize that opposing you is no longer a political decision.  It is a moral one.  I’ve watched you retweet racist images.  I’ve watched you retweet racist lies.  I’ve watched you take 48 hours to disavow white supremacy.  I’ve watched you joyfully encourage violence, and promise to ‘pay the legal fees’ of those who commit violence on your behalf.  I’ve watched you advocate the use of torture and the murder of terrorists’ families.   I’ve watched you gleefully tell stor...

Sickness could be a blessing:How to Behave When Struck by Illness

While seeking treatment or cure in this physical world it is important to also seek a cure through spiritual remedies.  The first thing to do is to think positively about God ( Allah ) the creator , confirm your belief in Him, and contemplate His names and attributes.  He is the Most Merciful, the Most Loving, and the Most Wise.  We are advised to call on Him by the names that are most appropriate to our needs. Never despair of the mercy of Allah. Sickness or being sick could be a blessing , an expiation of sins  Today Kutbah was a message to all who suffer any types of sickness, we ask Allah to cure us all. When illness strikes, the best course of action is to thank God, try to be closer to Him and to seek medical aid and count the blessings that He has bestowed upon us. Patience is a virtue  The Quran makes it quite clear that children and wealth are an adornment of this life and that we will be tested through our love for them.   ...
