O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.1

I recently took a DNA test, the kind that traces your origin. For some time I had been struggling with a sense of belonging, a sense of identity, and I had been seeking a sense of self. To find myself and the people that I call my own. If you know exactly who your people are, this is a blessing you haven't thanked Allah enough for. For the rest of us who, when asked, "So what exactly are you?" the answer begins with a history lesson: "In the earl...See more

Why do we Hate?
Why do we hate when our source is one, when we share the same world and the same human race?
Why do we hate when we share the same hopes and fears, joys and sorrows?
Why do we hate when we love and hurt like each other, and fall and rise like one another?
Can we love for one another what we love for ourselves?
Can we love each other regardless of the beautiful ways we are different - our languages, our cultures, and our faiths?

Borders and Belonging: Rethinking the Ummah
InshaAllah, our theme for July will be on 'Navigating nationalism, race, and sectarianism in the context of our Qur’anic identity as a single, moral global community.' Islam came to eradicate superficial barriers, be it race, ethnicity, classism, or language. Our collective identity is rooted in recognising the One Creator who created humanity, and He placed us into different nations and tribes as an i...See more

As I was cooking and cleaning around the house,
memories of the past kept flashing before my eyes.
I couldn't help but reflect
on the success I once enjoyed
and the pride I used to carry.
Where has it all gone?
Who is that person in the mirror
with the rugged persona of the one I used to be?
These thoughts lead me to contemplate
the concept of self-worth.

What can you say about the horrors that you have never seen before,
The horrors that stand on your phone’s door.
These people no less than you and I?
Their babies, their old, their pregnant,
Their men, their women,
All of them cry.
But the people in power,
Find music through their cries,
They do not care if they die.
Nor how many are killed.
They laugh at their helplessness.
They even laugh at ours too.
So many people in the world who condemn,

One of the many great achievements of our Beloved Prophet (may Allah send His peace and blessings upon him) is that he established a true fraternity, one anchored in faith and justice, and not based on colour or class. Throughout the sīrah, and on numerous occasions, he denounced any type of behaviour that was discriminatory, racist, or supremacist.

*Late Graveyard Reflection*
Last week I went to the burial of the brother from my community, Allah Yarham hu.
It was my first time in the graveyard in America yet I've lived here for most of my life. There was something different about the graveyard here,than the ones I've been to in Pakistan.

She doesn’t talk much.
Not because she is arrogant, but she thinks she’s better.
But because inside her, there is a quiet voice that keeps whispering:
“Why doesn’t anyone like me?”
“Why does everyone criticize me?”
“What is wrong with me?”
She prays, fasts and beleives.
She isn’t far from Allah…
but she isn’t as close as she wants to be either.
And everyday, the same ache returns.
She keeps searching for certification from people.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
The world seems to have gone mad.
There is so much hate.
How does one break a home? By oppression and immorality and how does one build a strong home? It is by love and increasing one’s morality.
So hate cannot solve the problems of this world, hate not for the sake of Allah will create injustice and oppression. Eventually, so much hate will cause destruction. As we are seeing ...See more

After today’s Isha jamaat the Imam read a Hadith to us in regard to the reward of reading SubhanAllah, Alhumdulillah, and Allahuakbar 33 times each after every prayer.
This got me thinking about how there are other ahadith that mention different numbers, such as reading Allahuakbar 34 times instead of 33 after each prayer, and ahadith that mention similar adhkar before sleeping.
