As most of you know, and is evident from my many posts, I came from a University (Stony Brook) with a rather large and active MSA. My time at the university, particularly with MSA-related activities and the brothers I met in large part through the MSA have greatly shaped who I am today, and has [...]

Minaret is Leila Aboulela’s second novel, the first of which to be published here in the United States. (I highly recommend her first novel, The Translator as well). Side note: I read The Translator for an English class last year, and wrote a paper on it (see Written Work). Last month, I received a comment [...]

This article written by Imam Zaid Shakir was recently posted on the Zaytuna Website and I thought it was a great read. Gratitude in the Face of Calamity By Imam Zaid Shakir In The Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful If you express gratitude for my blessings, I will increase you in them. [Al-Qur’an [...]

Possibly… After reading Amir‘s post on Pashtuns were Jews?, I did some further reading and there is a leading theory that suggests that Pathans (my mom is a Pathan) may have descended from the ancient Israelites (the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel). What do i think about this… lol its cool. Its always great to [...]
