Cultures: Mastering Perspective in the Age of Global Proximity, an Islamic Lens

Cultures are a collection of changing modes of human expression that develop differently in different geographical areas and change based on temperature, type of cloth available, language, type of food able to grow and more. Whereas Islam comes with unchangeable rules and a moral compass, and as long as cultural practices do not contradict clear Islamic teachings, they are not only permitted but respected.

The Holy Prophet

The Holy Prophet as a Role Model for Moral Leadership

Passing the torch, of a fire that keeps burning, not only staying lit, but growing with each generation.

We must ask ourselves how we can ensure that the message of Muharram continues to resonate deeply with the hearts of our youth?

Inequality

Contemplation and reflections on Wealth inequality, Poverty, Wastage and Famine

Famine is the most severe consequence of global wealth inequality. According to worldwide famine statistics, millions of people die every year due to a lack of food and water. In most Western countries, food is discarded as daily waste in homes, hotels, and restaurants. In the United States, 30-40% of the food supply is wasted, according to the USDA. This amounts to approximately 92 billion pounds of food annually, valued at over $473 billion. This is a thought-provoking consideration for Ramadan.
