Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 4:06 pm By Hind Makki

I’ve voted in every election I could since I was 18, but I’m not voting tomorrow, Election Day 2012. That’s because I already cast my ballot this weekend because I am serving as an election judge for the first time. Many of my friends and family have also cast early ballots. Some of them are pumped about their local elections. Many are excited to participate in Get Out The Vote efforts for the national tickets. Still, some are just going... Read more

A community in Ramadan, a family for Eid

Last updated on: August 24, 2012 at 12:30 am By Hind Makki

Last Sunday, an estimated 15,000-20,000 people piled into Toyota Park, the home of our local MLS soccer team, to celebrate Eid, the holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In the wake of recent attacks against Muslims in the waning days of the month in the US (8 attacks in 11 days), including 2 mosque attacks and the desecration of a Muslim grave site in the Chicagoland area, Muslim leaders invited Illinois Governor Pat Quinn to...

Hey I just came here to pray and this is crazy, but is there space for me?

Last updated on: July 25, 2012 at 7:03 pm By Hind Makki

I’d like to share with you a story from the reign of Umar, the second Caliph of Islam (may God be pleased with him) which carries powerful lessons today. One of the wives of Umar bin Al-Khattab used to offer the Fajr and the Isha prayers in congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, “What prevents him... Read more

Welcoming Ramadan

Last updated on: July 17, 2012 at 8:19 pm By Hind Makki

The Muslim day begins at night. Following a lunar calendar means that we welcome the new day when the sun sets. This year Ramadan, for those who follow calculations, will begin after sunset on Thursday July 19. I plan to welcome the holy month that night by attending Taraweeh, the nightly communal prayers that most Sunni Muslims perform during Ramadan. On Friday, before the sun begins to rise, I will start my fast: abstaining from food and drink – and... Read more
