Donald Trump should learn what Islam actually teaches Judges

Last updated on: June 10, 2016 at 4:09 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Achraf Issam In his latest controversy, Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, criticized a Mexican-American federal judge, Gonzalo P. Curiel, over his ruling on the Trump University lawsuit. Donald Trump suggested that the Latino judge was biased against him simply due to his racial background. Trump further asserted that the judge was incapable of being fair and impartial due to his Mexican heritage. Despite Trump facing criticism and condemnation from his own party leaders, he doubled down... Read more

A Muslim on Memorial Day

Last updated on: June 10, 2016 at 10:21 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Nayyar Ahmed On Friday 27th of May 2016, I had the opportunity to attend the Memorial Day celebrations in the neighborhood of Sewickley, situated in the North West of Pittsburgh. People from all walks of life had gathered on the intersection of Beaver and Broad Street to celebrate the freedom this country has to offer. Veterans and their loved ones came together to show their solidarity for the war heroes who have laid down their lives so millions of... Read more

Ramadan: An Opportunity to Remove Misconceptions About Islam

Last updated on: May 26, 2017 at 5:01 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

The holy month of Ramadan has started for Muslims. Ramadan is a month of rejuvenation and cleansing. Muslims intensify their worship, self-reformation and charitable donations during this month. The idea of fasting has been inculcated in all religions though strict conformity to the ordinances relating to this is no longer observed. In Islam, the guidelines relating to the fast are clearly stated and defined. The Holy Quran states: “O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was... Read more

Why I Just Can’t Shake Your Hand

Last updated on: June 6, 2016 at 11:18 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Labeeb Ahmed An incredible amount of controversy and interest has been generated regarding the refusal of two Muslim students in Therwil, Switzerland to shake hands with their female teacher, and the subsequent threat of a 5,000 dollar fine by Swiss authorities to the parents of students who withhold this greeting. Many would like to point to an element of backwardness or sexual inequality in Islam, while others find this incident to be a rejection of a fundamental component of... Read more

Earth Day in Islam

Last updated on: May 16, 2016 at 6:33 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Adil Khan This past Earth Day fell on the same day (Friday) as the Muslim holy day of the week. Let me say without hesitation that just as Islam is a religion of peace and establishes the sanctity and dignity of human life, it also teaches Muslims to cherish and protect our planet. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him (pbuh), stated, “The world is green and beautiful, and Allah (God) has appointed you... Read more

A Mother in Islam

Last updated on: May 14, 2016 at 8:02 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Adil Khan Critics of Islam love to accuse it of denying women equal rights. I will address all those who make such accusatory claims using the very teachings of Islam itself. I will frame my arguments specifically in the light of this past Mother’s Day, Sunday May 8th. Let me first of all say that I am a proud Ahmadi Muslim, a follower of True Islam (Trueislam.com), and of the True and only Caliph of this time, His Holiness,... Read more

Islamophobia Is No Joke

Last updated on: May 10, 2016 at 8:57 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Zahid Mian Did you hear about the Mexican who was arrested for saying “hasta la vista”? Apparently someone nearby thought he was an illegal alien robot come to destroy the American dream. What about the Italian man arrested for mob-like activity when he was buying a car and uttered “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse”? Or the Arab who was kicked off a plane because he spoke in his native language? Apparently a passenger and crew... Read more

Reality versus Fantasy: The Challenges Facing Modern Society

Last updated on: May 8, 2016 at 1:43 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Seidu Malik When a child has all sorts of great ideas to make the world a beautiful place but then realizes with age that those ideas are in fact fantasies, he changes course and embraces the reality of things. If anyone taunts him later on in life as to what happened to those great ideas, the matured child is more than happy to confess that those were childhood days. That is, the imaginary world he is used to is... Read more

The Most Famous Murder Case in History Unraveled

Last updated on: May 4, 2016 at 3:02 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Usama Awan This murder case, one of a kind in history, is so emotionally charged and contentious that many people have made the victim a mythological figure, one that defies all laws of nature and biology. Some even re-enact the murder scene every year to commemorate his death. While on the other hand, many maintain that the execution didn’t even happen and that people are stuck in fables. Academics, throughout the years, have failed to give an intellectually and... Read more

A Realistic Look at Islam- A Detailed Response to Father Schall

Last updated on: May 3, 2016 at 11:40 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Hassan Mahmood Written in response to an opinion published by Father James V. Schall S.J to CatholicWorldReport.com on April 17th entitled “Realism and Islam.” The original article can be found here: http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/4731/realism_and_islam.aspx What is realistic? Certainly, it is to assess things as they are.. It is no great leap of logic to then proclaim that to realistically judge men, they too must be judged by their actions. But what does this say about an ideal? If men fall far... Read more
