Modeling After the Greatest Role Model

Last updated on: September 8, 2009 at 4:24 pm By Marwa Aly

I recently came across the story of one of the companions of Rasul (s.a.w.), Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman. He was of Makkan origin, but grew up in Madinah. Upon Rasul (s.a.w.)’s arrival to Madinah after the Hijrah (migration), Hudhayfah became closely attached to the Prophet. He participated in numerous battles with the Muslims. In the Battle of Uhud, during the confusion and disorder that ensued, Hudhayfah’s father was confused as an enemy and accidently killed by the Muslims. Hudhayfah did something... Read more

Date Baskets

Last updated on: September 7, 2009 at 2:46 am By Mahaez

This project started out with us planning to give Ramadan Introduction gift baskets to our neighbors. But it became a double-project, the Ramadan Intro gift baskets as well as Ramadan Date gift baskets for both sets of grandparents alhamdulillah. What better gift to give in Ramadan than dates, in hopes of earning the reward promised by our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): “He who gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will receive the same reward as him. And... Read more

Back to School: ‘I Entrust You to God’

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 12:21 pm By Yaman Kahf

A Father’s Perspective This morning I handed a piece of my soul over to my sworn enemy. It was indescribably painful, but I actually ripped it out myself and as if possessed, I stood at the gates and handed it over with a smile. I was left with a tortured, torn soul –confused and overwhelmed. How could I do such a thing? I should know better. How could this be right? Is it right? Is it wrong? A hug, a... Read more

A Daughter’s Essay

Last updated on: August 31, 2009 at 2:15 am By Mahaez

More than ten years ago, when my daughter was fifteen, she entered a writing contest. This is an excerpt from her entry: What Ramadan Means to Me The abandoned soccer field is silent and empty except for a small crowd of children scrutinizing the horizon. A few eager men and women stand a small distance away clutching binoculars in their gloved hands. A joyful shout arises suddenly from the shivering crowd of children. “I found it! I found it!” exclaims... Read more

Helping Others

Last updated on: August 27, 2009 at 10:03 pm By Marwa Aly

Life is such a blessing and I want to live mine in such a way that I am always cognizant of how truly blessed I am. For me, that means making sure that helping others is a habitual aspect of my life. As a stay at home mom of two kids under age four, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea that I can’t do much in terms of helping others because I have to take care of... Read more

The Spiritual Experience of Cooking

Last updated on: August 24, 2009 at 11:49 am By Marwa Aly

I strongly dislike cooking. I hate being in my usually grimy kitchen, having to watch the stovetop, getting my hands dirty, the kids tearing down the walls in the background, and then having to clean up late at night. All that effort and usually the results are less than perfect. I often cook a large amount and then we eat leftovers for one or two days, so that I can have a kitchen-free day in between. This Ramadan though, I... Read more
