Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

In the ongoing, never-ending debate about moon sighting versus caculations to determine the start (and end) of Ramadan (and other Islamic months and holidays), Irfan Rydhan argues for the motion to support moonsighting: “Muslims Should Adopt Moon sighting to Establish Ramadan.” Please read to the end, where you will find a link for the rebuttal (in support of scientific calculations). My Answer: Yes. Why? Simply Because the Qur’an and Hadith tell us to. But at the same time there is... Read more

Bollywood King goes back to his Muslim Roots

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

By no means am I a Bollywood (Indian Cinema) fan. I have only seen a handful in my life and never watched one in a theater – before last night when I went with my wife and a few friends to watch the King of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and his new film “My Name is Khan” which is making headlines across the world because of it’s “Pro-Muslim” storyline – which is a rarity in Hindu dominated Indian cinema. A... Read more

5 Good Books for American Muslims (and everyone else)

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

Last year, I did a lot of reading (probably the most since I graduated from college) and I thought it would a good idea to share my top 5 books (for some reason, I like listing things in 5 digit intervals:)). Some of these I have not fully completed reading yet, but have read enough of them to recommend them all:)! These are not in any particular order, but they are all very good in their own right. They all relate to Islam... Read more

My Top 5 Halal (Zabihah) Restaurants in the Bay Area

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

Currently I have nearly 200 reviews on Zabihah.com – a website created by a friend of mine, Shahed Amanullah, about 10 years ago which is a user generated review site for Zabihah Halal restaurants across the world! Zabihah is an arabic word which means an animal is slaughtered according to Islamic dietary laws (similiar to Kosher for Jews) and it is Halal (permissible in Islam) for Muslims to consume. Since many people see my reviews online, I got the nickname of “Mr. Zabihah.com” from... Read more

30 Mosques in 30 days

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

Here is a link to a blog by two Muslim guys (Aman Ali and Bassam Tariq) travelling around NYC every day in Ramadan having iftaar (breaking of the fast) at a different mosque each night. It’s pretty interesting because not only do they talk about the different types of food, but also the culture and history of the mosque as well. They also got some very nice pictures.

“New Muslim Cool” – is pretty cool

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

I recently watched the “New Muslim Cool” documentary and was pretty impressed. The film directed and produced by Jennifer Maytoerna Taylor, is about a Puerto Rican Muslim convert, Hamza Perez, who as a former drug dealer, struggles to make a new life for himself, his family and his new Muslim community in Pittsburgh, PA. It is an inspiring story of how a young Muslim, who uses Hip Hop music to express his feelings in a very creative and productive way,... Read more

First Pakistani Starship Captain in latest “Star Trek” Film

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am By irfanrydhan

I watched the latest “Star Trek” film in IMAX this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see Faran Tahir, a Pakistani-American who played the lead villian in “Iron Man” last year, as Captain Robau of the Starship U.S.S. Kelvin. According to an article on scifiwire.com, Tahir was cast by Director J.J. Abrams specifically because of his ethnicity, which is a tradition of the “Star Trek” series since the 60’s when Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry had a mutli-ethnic cast... Read more
