Read MoreFrom MuslimSpeak July 3, 2008 The Kalimah & the Shahādah in Various Languages If one were to search the net they would find various pages dedicated to demonstrating how to say and write ‘I love you’ in as many languages as those making the list can compile. One might also find less meaningful phrases such as ‘Where is the bar?’ or ‘Cheers!’. For any Muslim there is indeed no phrase more dear to them than the Shahādah or the Kalimah, so I decided to compile such a list for surely it would be far more useful and beloved to us than

In “Latino Muslim by Design: Reductive Binaries in American News Media,” Morales examined representations of Latino Muslims in news media and responses to these productions. Since the mid-1970s, Latino converts to Islam have been forming communities in metropolitan areas including New York and Los Angeles. Conservative estimates of the number

Veinte años atrás cuando decidimos con mi esposa y un grupo de hermanos musulmanes fundar el primer Centro Islámico reconocido oficialmente por el gobierno Ecuatoriano, jamás pensé que este decisión sería la semilla edificadora de una nueva identidad naciente en Ecuador: El Musulmán Latinoamericano. Interpretando la marca de identidad de las jóvenes generaciones que han transcurrido en estos años en nuestro Centro Islámico, se puede colegir con certeza, que el Musulmán Latinoamericano no pertenece al estereotipo del musulmán inmigrante en Latinoamérica, pues su pertenencia geográfica

I pray that Allah (SWT) makes these days a source of purification for us all. As you know, Dawah is a large part of ICNA’s work. ICNA brings knowledge of our deen to our friends, neighbors and communities; our Dawah programs are extremely important in bringing the true message of Islam to the public at a time when Islamophobia and hate are on the rise. I write to you to ask for your support of these efforts. Your contribution to

And besides that, it just looks cool! If you have been wondering where you can get one, we have a box full of them from sizes Small to X-Large! They

A form of blended studies where students have the opportunity to obtain an orthodox graduate degree and on top of that, Professor Dr Hassanuddeen Abd Aziz, Dean of IIUM’s Centre of Postgraduate Studies, points out that Islamic approaches in all disciplines will be given “In all our programmes, students are exposed to the Islamic vantage point. Using what they have learned, we expect our students at a postgraduate level to be able to formulate
Read MoreBy Dr. Abdellatif Charafi This article is intended to be a trip in time to a very special period in world history: from the ninth to the thirteenth century in Andalusia, and more specifically in Córdoba, where a million people lived in Europe’s largest city, the cultural center of that period. There existed no separation between rigorous scientific study, wisdom and faith. Nor was East separated from West; nor was the Muslim from the Jew or the Christian. It was there that the European Renaissance actually began, and from where it grew. By examining the trajectory of Islam in Andalusia,

You might think that it is strange for someone to write about this. I know my neighbor-he’s the nice Mexican fellow that lives down the street. Or, maybe you are “in the market” to marry a Latino Muslim. Do you really know who they (or we) are? In addition to the above, I also want to clear up some of the confusion as to who is Latino and what constitutes the Hispanic identity. As

Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes.” -Sahih Bukhari 7/70/547. Narrated Abu Huraira.
