Every Thursday with Kobe Bryant

Last updated on: September 20, 2012 at 9:18 am By Umar Hakim

“Every Thursday” will feature people of creativity and/or ideas of leadership throughout their work. Homelessness, a major domestic problem in the United States. We see individuals, some we know and others we ponder, “how did it come to this.” Living within a world of circumstances, mental health, and addictions for many. There are those cases of people, whose story will uplift you and make you realize how to #UseYourPower4Peace. NBA Champion Kobe Bryant recently visited the Skid Row Community in... Read more

“What are they asking (one another) about? About the great news…” (Great News, Al Naba 78:1-2). The world is asking, where are the Muslim-Americans voices and what are they thinking? Recently we have seen a video go viral and set-off a chain reaction of protest, destruction and death. Initiated by someone, here in the United States, who have taken their collective freedom for granted and have misused power, to disrespect. We have online companies exercising their power, refusing to remove... Read more

Freedom of expression, Freedom of Speech and Free at Last; with the success of Hip Hop, has the music industry let go of moral values? Hip Hop fans today are hearing a list of references, metaphors and stereotypes; that’s a direct connect to street culture, found deep within inner city life. Recently the music industry seems to have made a mistake. They have allowed a rapper, to express and deliver a message with moral value. #BitchBad, the latest release by... Read more

urban/’ərbən/ In, relating to, or characteristic of a city or town…. and closely associated to African American communities. The word “urban” has also been associated with professionals living in lofts, owning cute little dogs, patronizing the latest boutiques and eateries. Living an “inner city” urban lifestyle, may explain why the Brady Bunch and Sixteen Candles were enjoyable mental escapes. Simply saying, “An urban life is not a normal lifestyle to live.” The Experience Those movies provided an escape window via... Read more

The purpose of this blog-ver-sa-tion, is to motivate the Muslim into forming one community voice. Our sustainability is critically important upon this action. We need to assemble our components into a churning mechanism for justice. In forming this mechanism, we would be alleviating ourselves and our communities of inherited prejudices. Issues and conditions imposed on individuals, by previous generations. Demarcate a new era, begin identifying talent, and organize on common ground. Start eliminating misconceptions, racism, entitlement and many other dividing... Read more

“Every Thursday” will feature people of creativity and/or ideals of leadership throughout their work. After embracing a new understanding and perspective in 1998, I then was given guidance for a support group.

Wisdom Wednesday with Urban Voices

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 3:10 am By Umar Hakim

The world as is, once again is evolving and a new people will develop the world as it should be. It seems world leaders are no longer relevant with the people’s best interest, self-interest overshadows their position. People are in need of effective brotherly leadership; leaders who desire to assist and help mankind, and can relate with grass-root issues. There’s an urban cohort of citizens, holding U.S. public officials more accountable to domestic care, word and deed. New highways of... Read more

Day 29

Last updated on: August 17, 2012 at 1:14 pm By Umar Hakim

Remaining in Ramadan….after Day 29 this was on my mind in 2010 Ramadan increases one’s sincerity, subsequently while preserving oneself with patience. Fasting enriches our piety, intensifying the spiritual parts of us. Fasting, a grateful reminder for what we have and a guidance to strive righteously for a better life. It seems our American generation has been attributed as Muslim ambassadors. “Diamonds are born under pressure” (unknown) Take a proactive approach toward empowerment and leadership, engage life’s quality and sustenance...
