Fighting Poverty: Dr. King’s Vision Meets Islamic Teachings

Last updated on: January 20, 2025 at 6:02 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

Throughout history, certain individuals have stood out not just for their words but for the transformative legacies they leave behind. Among them, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stands as a towering figure, celebrated for his courageous fight for racial justice. Yet, an equally powerful part of his legacy—his unwavering commitment to ending poverty—often remains in the shadows. “There is nothing new about poverty,” Dr. King declared, “what is new is that we have the resources to end it.” This profound...

The Crucifixion Revisited: Jesus’ Story in Islam

Last updated on: January 20, 2025 at 4:45 pm By Ataul Bhatti

The Holy Qur’an, the scripture Muslims believe to be from God, mentions Jesus (peace be upon him) 28 times (عِیۡسَی) compared to Muhammad (peace be upon him) 4 times (مُحَمَّدٌ). This leads one to wonder, what exactly do Muslims believe about the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)? As we dive into the Holy Qur’an and look at some of the verses that mention him by name, we find the following verse: وَّقَوۡلِہِمۡ اِنَّا قَتَلۡنَا الۡمَسِیۡحَ عِیۡسَی ابۡنَ مَرۡیَمَ رَسُوۡلَ...

Is Islam Antisemitic?

Since the attacks on October 7, some statements from Hamas officials and members have become widely circulated in the media. These statements promise to repeat the attacks of October 7th and to fight and kill Jews until Palestine is free. They have even called upon every Muslim in the world to help them, claiming it is a religious duty (Hamas in Its Own Words, ADL, 2024). In today’s media landscape, it is easy to be misled into thinking that Hamas... Read more

Finding Common Ground Between Muslims and Christians As the holiday season envelops the world in its warmth, joy, and reflection, it presents a unique opportunity for individuals from different faiths to unite in mutual respect and understanding. For me, as an American Ahmadi Muslim, this time of year is not just about family gatherings but also about deepening the bonds between communities, particularly between Muslims and Christians.

As the U.S. elections draw near, American Muslims are reminded of their civic duty to engage actively in the democratic process and contribute positively to society. In a time when candidates campaign vigorously, it is essential to reflect on the values we hope our leaders will embody and the impact our participation can have on society. Islam encourages us to be agents of justice, unity, and compassion in our communities. The Holy Qur’an underscores this responsibility: “O you who have... Read more

The Need to Escalate to Justice to De-Escalate a Genocide

As we mark one year since the brutal October 7 attacks by Hamas, it is essential to reflect on the profound human cost of this ongoing conflict. The Hamas attacks claimed 1,230 lives and left over 230 individuals taken hostage. In retaliation, Israel launched a brutal military campaign resulting in over 41,000 deaths, many of whom were innocent children. As a Muslim, I unequivocally condemn Hamas’ extremism. Their brutal actions neither represent Islam nor the Palestinian people, the vast majority... Read more

The Quest for God: From Ancient Philosophy to Modern Faith

In an age where belief in God seems to be waning, with more people turning to atheism or agnosticism, the story of Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (ra) offers a compelling example of spiritual inquiry. At just 11 years old, he embarked on a profound journey to answer the fundamental questions: Does God exist? Is Muhammad (sa) a true prophet? Is the Promised Messiah (as) genuine? This young seeker’s approach aligns with the hadith that states, “If you seek God... Read more

Hunger Action Month Ends While Hunger Action Month ended yesterday, that doesn’t mean our work to end hunger stops. Hunger is a pervasive global crisis, affecting billions and highlighting deep-seated inequities in our world. For Muslims, the call to alleviate hunger is not just a matter of charity; it is a fundamental tenet of faith that intertwines with the core values of compassion, justice, and loving our neighbors.
