Today’s Khutba

Last updated on: November 9, 2012 at 3:38 pm By Kristina ElSayed

I sit there and often try my hardest to decipher what it is that the Imam is trying to say, and then usually about 20 minutes in I either catch on or my brain quits. Today, the only thing I can remember from the entire 40 minute talk is that if Prophet Muhammad walked into the room, we would all kiss his feet because we love him so much. I wonder. Read more

It is interesting what you overhear when you are in school all day long. In our school, every cultural American holiday celebration that could have had a religious origin is treated like Voldemort. This week was no exception. From the time the girls started attending Islamic school 4 years ago, the girls have been told by their friends and a few teachers that celebrating (insert the name here) is Haraam! The same holds true for Halloween. Of Course. I have... Read more

A Quiet, Normal Life

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 10:05 am By Kristina ElSayed

It is my sincere hope that you and your family (birth and/or chosen) had a wonderful Eid weekend. This last month has been a whirlwind of the mundane, every day living, seasoned with bits here and there of new life experiences. I’ve been invited to, and attended, a new hijabi party, a bridal shower, an Egyptian Family luncheon and an Eid celebration. All new events to me, in the context that they were all activities flavored by Islam. My daughter... Read more

Happy Eid Al-Adha 2012

Last updated on: October 26, 2012 at 7:00 am By Kristina ElSayed

Today is the celebration of Eid Al-Adha or Feast of the Sacrifice. Every year, Muslims all over the world participate in the pilgrimage to Mecca. Those who cannot go, fast and pray, and in doing so are cleansed of their sins for the previous year, and the year to follow. Then we celebrate those who have made the Hajj, and the cleansing of sins. Read more

For this week’s Twitter Week in Review, I sat down to get the post together and found that somehow the feed from the Facebook page was not connecting to Twitter. So, I cut and paste the last three items I shared on the Facebook page in full here. The rest is what I’ve shared through the week. “I urge of you to be visible and not to be silent,” Mr. Awad said. “This is the take-home message: ‘Don’t be silent.’... Read more

Khalid Latif Yesterday who used to listen to the ICNYU podcast? We’re thinking of restarting it in the next couple of weeks inshallah YAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! *Happy Dance!* Back in 2010, I was surfing around on iTunes and found the KhutbaKast. I had a listen and I was hooked. I listened to all the backlog back to back…and then I was up to date. Then there were no updates…and I sent email, and posted on the FB wall. No response. I sent...

How Do We Reach Out?

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 10:46 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Growing up in Ohio in the 70s and 80s, we were pretty insulated from diversity. I can not remember any children from elementary school that were not exactly like me; white, Christian, traditional family unit in residence. By the 6th grade, we had 1 African-American teacher and I knew a few friends by then who had parents who divorced. In Junior High and High School, my circle of exposure to peers from different neighborhoods and economic situations expanded in triplicate.... Read more
