#WisdomWed… Why Do You Wanna Convert Me

Last updated on: February 7, 2013 at 6:39 pm   By Umar Hakim

A young personal perspective: I must admit, in the early stages of my religion (deen), I was trying to convince everyone to believe like me! Co-workers, family, and friends. Then time passes, and I began more in-depth studies on its History makers, events and our Creator’s Merciful Speech. Also enrolling in school for a Bachelor of Science in Business, was a game changer. I joined a nonprofit foundation, whose mission is “Teaching Life Skills, to Replace Social Ills.”  Where here... Read more

The beginning of 2013 is a new paradigm for truth, and one’s potential to rise. Soxial Justice is fighting against issues that could inhibit our growth. We must challenge, prepare and position our spirituality to bare those moments of discomfort. Studying your faith is necessary for strength, wisdom and navigation around fears and worries.

#WisdomWed… Inspiration, a Thought and Words

Last updated on: January 23, 2013 at 9:46 am   By Umar Hakim

“Words shape minds, and Minds make Men” a quote once heard, remembered and we use here often. What inspires a person’s wisdom? Is it their experience, is it their circumstances or theology or is it just one’s desire to make a lasting impression on people. Can it be “sincerity”? The humility of a man or a woman, whose studies have shaped their emotional intelligence. Humbly they are just conveying a message, not intending to be profound, but are only seeking... Read more

#thePassenger… Conditions and People

Last updated on: January 2, 2013 at 4:42 am   By Umar Hakim

#thePassenger rides again I have traveled to and from many locations, and have passed by Los Angeles best sites and landmarks. Between stops I tend to reflect on life’s incidents, while staring out the metro’s looking glass. On these rides I witness many different types of people and situations. On this journey, I’m reflecting on conditions and people, the way we interact with one another. Not yet on the downtown train… I witnessed several incidents that would raise one’s eyebrow... Read more

#WisdomWed… the Day after Xmas

Last updated on: December 26, 2012 at 10:57 am   By Umar Hakim

Being Muslim, after growing up having traditional Christian values; does not mean I do not care or even feel other holiday seasons. In fact, some Muslims have developed a patience, having the ability to apply such meaningful emotions, and demarcate our intention and self – and still enjoy any day with respect and consideration. Since becoming Muslim in 1998, the holiday season has always been a true challenge of demarcation between belief, values and family traditions. On Tuesday December 25th... Read more
