    Friday Night Live
    I moved to Bridgeview in the summer of 1990. Ever since, I have lived with my family near the Mosque Foundation (except with the occasional travels overseas either to Palestine or Jordan). Like most conscientious parents in our community, my husband and I have struggled to teach our children to love the masjid, love Islam. But Islam does not surround us in our society so that we “grow up” with a sense of how Islam should be reflected in our lives comprehensively.

    Reward and Fame
    An important question A man came to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and asked him a very important question. “How about a man who goes out to a battle aiming for both reward and fame? What would he get?” Although the question was about a very specific action, fighting in the battle field, the question can apply to any action that one does for the sake of Allah, His pleasure, and gaining His reward

    Barack Obama: words and symbols  Well said, badly heard

    Talk is cheap; seeing is believing

     

    Almost two years after his June 2009 speech in Cairo, American president Barack Obama once again addressed the Arab populations of the Middle East and North Africa. This time, he was responding to two major events: the revolutionary upheavals that have shaken the region, and the death of Usama bin Laden. The election of a first “African American president” raised high hopes in majority Muslim countries, due less to Barack Obama’s roots than to a perceived renewal of America’s vision and policies after the dark years of the Bush regime. Where do these hopes stand today?

    From bin Laden to the Arab spring
    Reactions during the first 48 hours after the announcement of Usama bin Laden's death have been indeed revealing. While the symbolic impact of the news touched off a media frenzy in the West, coverage was far more restrained in majority Muslim societies and throughout the Global South. It was as though we were witnessing, in real time, two distinct perspectives on the world.

    The rhetoric of violent extremist groups, be they al-Qaeda or others, never gained traction among the world's Muslims. With the exception of tiny groups functioning autonomously, we can conclude that terrorism has been a marginal phenomenon since September 11 2001. In fact, terrorists have killed more Muslims than Americans or Europeans, from Bali to Amman and from Morocco to Iraq, by way of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
