Verily, Along With Every Hardship Is Relief
And (remember) Ayub (Job), when he cried to his Lord: “Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.” So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family to him (that he had lost), and the like thereof along with them, as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all who worship Us. [Al-Anbiyā’ 83, 84]

Make your Deen Green: Composting
Every day we hear about the negative impacts human beings are having on the environment. It is so important to take care of and preserve one of the greatest gifts Allah [swt] has given us: the planet.
The Day I Became The White Bull
We are more hurt over the death of one celebrity, then we are over the death of thousands of our brothers and sisters around the world. When we see an inhumane tyrant who is killing children in front of their mothers just for a little bit of power, the least we can do is despise it in our hearts. When you see your brother and sister saying and doing filthy things, at least feel a sense of disgust in your heart. Keeping in mind though, that you hate the sin, because of your love for the sinner. Unfortunately we have strayed so far from this point, that the only time we feel hate or disgust, is when we despise a particular individual; we have learned to hate the sinner, and could care less about the sin.
Why the Drama?

Often times we get quite frustrated and upset with where we are in our lives. We feel like our drama and trials are more intense that other people’s situations. We can feel helpless, frustrated, annoyed, or even possibly hopeless. However, let us take a step back and reflect on why certain events occur in our lives and why we should be content with our lives no matter what the situation. Furthermore, at the very least, we should not question why something has happened to us.
Let’s take a moment and reflect on the story of Adam and Iblis.
New Muslim Series: After Shahadah
As the icing on the cake, many also have to deal with drama from the Muslim community itself. Common issues include being pressured to change everything about their life overnight, being judged for not yet wearing hijab or dressing properly, accusations of being a spy because of their non Arab/Desi heritage, and many other issues. A story from my local community displays this all too well: A brother had recently taken his shahadah, and soon after, he came to his first Friday prayer. A man in the Masjid heard this new Muslim brother praying in English and approached him saying, “You’re going to Hell if you pray like this.”
Life of a Da’ee – An Anonymous Response to ‘How Much Should Islamic Clergy Make?’
I’ve been physically tortured for wanting to seek knowledge, nearly imprisoned and cut off from any family wealth for being a Da’ee, mistreated by terrible masjid administrations, wrongfully accused by the so-called religious community, insulted even by my friends — but I do not regret this life even for one second.
America’s Shame + Muslims’ Double Shame = American Muslims’ Triple Shame
It is America’s shame that poverty and racism continues to this day. It is Muslims’ double shame that they have even more massive inequalities and racism (to the degree of quasi-slavery in some Muslim countries) despite having a religion that orders the opposite.
Bullying, Islam & Everything In Between
Bullying has reached a new peak in our society and with tragedies such as the shooting at Columbine, bullying has received a great deal more attention than it used to. With the advent of technology, bullying no longer occurs exclusively within the walls of schools. Rather, social media has provided another opportunity to bullies who seek to demean others. Home is no longer a safe haven for victims of bullying; a Facebook status can hurt just as much, if not more, than hearing the typed words spoken aloud.
