An #AccessibleRamadan Because of My Wife

Last updated on: June 11, 2016 at 1:38 pm By Guest Contributor

By Omer Zaman This is Day Six of the #30days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. The author pens this as a tribute to his wife, Sadaf Zaman. I was diagnosed with a form or muscular dystrophy in 2003 when I was 18 years old. Over the years, the muscles in my body have weakened to the extent that I am in need of a wheelchair and have limited range of motion and strength in my upper body. In fear of the progression of...

Ramadan Forgiveness: Once I was a Marine, Another Man Finding Islam, Finding Myself

Last updated on: June 10, 2016 at 6:17 pm By Guest Contributor

This is Day Five of the #30Days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. Dedicated to the people of Iraq. By Ramon Meija A year has come and gone with no liberation in sight. If you can recall, last year my submission for Day 17 of the #30Days30Writers Ramadan series for Altmuslim was replaced by a letter highlighting my struggle with depression. Insha’Allah, God willing (I thought), this will help people understand. “Come to Prayer, Come to Salvation.” I was not raised Muslim. Aside from... Read more

Can We Build off the Inclusiveness of Muhammad Ali’s Memorial to Tackle Racism in Our Muslim Community?

Last updated on: June 10, 2016 at 12:51 pm By Guest Contributor

By Zeba Khan Bernie Sanders rightly spoke out on the hypocrisy of people like Donald Trump, who praise Muhammad Ali in one breath and disparage his religious brethren in another: “Don’t tell me how much you love Muhammad Ali and yet you’re going to be prejudiced against Muslims in this country,” the senator said. For many American Muslims, we know all too well that growing up Muslim in America often feels like playing one long game of defense against attacks on our... Read more

Five Steps to Help You Deeply Read the Quran this Ramadan

Last updated on: June 8, 2016 at 7:07 pm By Guest Contributor

This is Day Three of the #30Day30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. By Farouk A. Peru To be perfectly honest, as Muslims, we are meant to read the Quran deeply all year long. There is no specific time when we must read, just that we should maintain a close relationship with our holy book by reading and understanding it as much as possible. However, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we find ourselves losing our connection. I remember experiencing this... Read more

Ramadan without My Father

Last updated on: June 10, 2016 at 6:06 pm By Guest Contributor

This is Day Two of the #30Days30Writers Ramadan 2016 series. By Namira Islam My mother has a reputation for being the life of a party. She is a masterful, vivacious storyteller and sassy in multiple languages. My father was steady, quiet and a bookworm. His brand of humor consisted of dad jokes and teasing. He was witty. But where my mom roasts with her humor, Abbu enjoyed a good quip. Most of my childhood memories are linked to my mother... Read more

Let Your Soul Breathe this Ramadan

Last updated on: June 6, 2016 at 1:28 pm By Guest Contributor

This is Day One of the #30Days30Writers series for Ramadan 2016. By Shibli Zaman In a society that promotes gluttonous consumerism with absolutely no regard for the planet’s inability to support that, the best service you can do to every living species on this earth is to treat food like medicine. You wouldn’t just take any snake oil when you’re sick, and you’re not exactly chugging down cough syrup for its lovely synthetic flavor somehow labeled as “grape.” (I never... Read more

Remembering Muhammad Ali – Boxing Legend, Proud American Muslim

Last updated on: June 4, 2016 at 12:21 pm By Guest Contributor

By Altmuslim Editors Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. ********** The day I met Islam, I found a power within myself that no man could destroy or take... Read more

Ramadan 2016 – #30Days30Writers, A Special Altmuslim Ramadan Series

Last updated on: June 3, 2016 at 2:17 pm By Guest Contributor

Seems like the past few Ramadans we’ve been hear this same phrase, but apparently it’s true this year: In many places around the world, this Ramadan will have the longest fasts of the year, including fasting on the longest day of the year – June 21. And while much of the Muslim blogosphere is abuzz with “get-ready-for-Ramadan” posts and advice articles, the obvious question we have for you is — are you Ramadan ready? Neither are we, but we’re getting... Read more

A Call for Empathy

Last updated on: June 2, 2016 at 4:38 pm By Guest Contributor

By Saud Inam In a world that seems to be increasingly filled with hate and pain, an act of empathy can be revolutionary. We see the many images of war, misery and pain in the news night after night. Our newspapers, magazine and even our Facebook walls are full of sad stories of police brutality, genocide, murder, war and injustice. While it can be overwhelming to be constantly surrounded by negative news and information, we must realize that we have... Read more
