Nour Domestic Violence Awareness Week | Abdullah Hasan
Nour is a charitable organization that aims to raise awareness and engage the public, especially minority Muslim communities, in taking action against the silent yet prevalent social injustice of domestic violence (DV). We believe it is important to be proactive rather than reactive. At Nour we have a strong Islāmic ethos and seek to condemn DV using Islāmic literature from both the Qur ān and the prophetic teachings. This is important in communities where there is a widespread misconception that Islām advocates (or even allows) domestic violence. Read More »

But if you have genuine concern about the image of Islam in America and have the foresight to picture what life could be like for us if there is another terrorist attack against America, then this is your handbook.

Lunar Eclipse Today! Here is what to do
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting the moon completely in shadow. The eclipse will start at around 7:45 a.m. EST (4:45 a.m. PST, 1245 GMT), when the shadow of the moon inches across the lunar disk. The celestial show will be visible from parts of North America, with those in the western portions of Canada and the United States particularly well placed for the event. People in Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, and central and eastern Asia should also be able to catch sight of the reddened moon. (Space.com) Those who are able to see the eclipse should perform the special Sunnah prayer, known as Salat-al-Kusuf. Read More »
