3 Relevant Lessons from the Life of Prophet Yahya (John)

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 11:30 am By Guest Contributor

Written by Aisha Prophet Yahya (peace be upon him) was a prophet of Bani Israeel (the Children of Israel). He watched his own father, Prophet Zakariah (pbuh), teach the people of Bani Israeel from his childhood. Prophet Yahya was a very kind and gentle person, and he grew up to be a pious and God-fearing young man. When he became older, Prophet Yahya continued his father’s work. He conveyed the Message of God to the people of Bani Israeel with respect and compassion. He taught... Read more

How to Get His Love and Attention

Last updated on: February 14, 2020 at 1:26 pm By Iman

Ah, Valentine’s Day… A day when some single people envy married couples, some married couples envy single people, and everyone else is just waiting for the chocolate to go on sale. It’s also a day when a person who has a crush on someone hopes they’ll finally get lucky. Maybe the person they have a crush on will tell them they feel the same way, or at least look their way. But at the end of the day, they’re still alone.... Read more

Let’s Talk About Hijab and Self-Esteem

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

February 1st is World Hijab Day, which fell on a Wednesday this year. My social media feeds were full of pictures and posts to show the pride that Muslim women all over the world feel for wearing the hijab. But it made me think about all of the things that people may not know about the Islamic headscarf, and the affects it can have on a woman’s self-esteem… Both the good and the bad. Others’ Opinions When I first started wearing the... Read more

Why I Don’t Believe in Saying “My Islam”

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

Almost five years ago, I had a transition in my life where I went from being what some might call, “less religious” to “more religious.” During that time, I fell in love with Islam in a way that I never had before. A big reason for that was because I was finally learning to differentiate between my parents’ culture (“back home”) and Islam, and I realized that Islam is infinitely better. I think many people who go through a journey similar... Read more

“Is Allah Punishing Me?”

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

When going through a difficulty in life, it’s natural for many people to wonder whether God is punishing them. They think it must be due to a sin that they committed in the past, which they haven’t been forgiven for yet, that they are suffering. But according to Islam, we are taught something else entirely: The Messenger of Allah (saws) was asked, “Which people are tested most severely?” He responded (saws), “They are the prophets, then the next best, then...

Why Islamic School Won’t “Protect” Your Kids (& What You Can Do About It)

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

*Disclaimer: I know some will not read beyond this point… I am not a parent, so I don’t have any parenting experience — I wish to be transparent about this. However, I have (obviously) experienced being a child, and the thoughts I share here are just from that perspective (now that I am an adult and can reflect upon these issues more objectively).* Parents often enroll their children in Islamic school hoping that they will be protected from any major misdeeds. Some even switch their... Read more

The Most Taboo Topic…

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

You might call them curse words, bad words, four-letter words, or something else. But the main thing these words have in common is that they’re generally considered offensive and inappropriate, especially in public settings. I’ve noticed, though, that one word is considered so taboo that all of the swear words pale in comparison to it. And even though this word might not be considered a “bad word” by people in such a way that they wouldn’t teach it to their... Read more

6 Easy Ways to Revive Your Faith This Year

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

The beginning of a new year is usually a time when people make resolutions — promises to themselves of what they’ll change, try, or improve in the year that lies ahead. As Muslims, our primary goal in life is to do what we can to please God and reach Jannah (Paradise) by His mercy. So what better resolution to set than to do what we can to rejuvenate our iman (faith)? But before you start setting some huge goals, keep this... Read more

When All Else Fails…

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:27 am By Iman

The panic was starting to settle in, as small flames turned into a blazing fire that engulfed everything in sight. Noah looked around, wondering what else he could possibly try in order to extinguish this inferno. He had already dumped and sprayed water, and used the fire extinguisher until it ran out. What else could he possibly do? Noah decided it was time to just abandon his house and run away before the whole structure collapsed on him, but he... Read more

The Feeling of Christmas as a Muslim Convert

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 11:30 am By Kaya Gravitter

Christmas is a very hard time of the year for me. It’s more difficult than Eid itself, because it is a sad reminder that I will not be celebrating another holiday with my family ever again. People who are not converts do not understand this and they try to tell you how to feel. Only a convert only knows how a convert feels. A Muslim born with a Muslim family cannot tell a convert how to feel on a holiday. However,... Read more
