Bilal – The Original Black Muslim

Last updated on: February 9, 2018 at 4:16 pm By NbAMuslims

The movie Bilal: a New Breed of Hero connected with me as a descendant of slaves and inheritor of the Black Muslim Movement in the United States. By Layla Abdullah-Poulos I wanted to have the opportunity to write deeply about Bilal and his sister Ghufairah and draw connections between them and so many lost Black Muslims during the Atlantic Slave Trade as well as parallels of Islam as simultaneously being a means of spiritual enlightenment and personal liberation. Unfortunately, my writing... Read more

Latina American Muslimah on Khimars and World Hijab Day

Last updated on: February 6, 2018 at 12:34 am By NbAMuslims

By Hazel Gómez In this strange era of the increased attempt of institutionalizing Islamophobia from the right and the subtle cultural Islamophobic blows from the left, Muslim women who choose to cover with the khimar aka ḥijāb/headscarf are at the receiving end of it all. From governments trying to implement ḥijāb bans to fellow citizens being hostile to the point of physical harm, wearing the khimar– an outward religious expression of a woman’s adherence to the Islamic faith – has...

New Art & Society – Conscientious Objection: Paying a Price for Social Resistance

Last updated on: January 29, 2018 at 8:50 am By NbAMuslims

People from various backgrounds and professions decide to raise their voices and condemn oppression and injustice. Motivated by a sense of humanity and justice, many take to social media to express their dislike for the mistreatment of subjugated people across social intersections and demand justice. However, asserting one’s voice against oppression does not come without its perils. Often, even the most privileged can face drastic consequences when speaking against persecution. Some decide to pivot to a less perilous pass—others persevere... Read more

BOOK REVIEW: The Acquaintance – More than Just Friends

Review by Layla Abdullah-Poulos THE ACQUAINTANCE Saba Syed $17.99, 292pp, Paper SPOILER ALERT Access to a monumental repository of literature is a blessing but not a perfect one. Avid readers, instructors and literary critics often encounter novels with similar themes and messages. When this happens, the focus on the execution of the author in telling the story intensifies. The books in Muslim fiction include an expanse of work, but there are a couple of subgenres to which many authors gravitate –... Read more

Sex, Assault and Muslim Women Agency: Braving Hard Conversations

Last updated on: February 13, 2018 at 11:31 pm By NbAMuslims

By Layla Abdullah-Poulos During a discussion about the dynamics of women’s agency and autonomy, specifically in sexual interactions, a phenomenal Muslim woman feminist said something extremely interesting: “I don’t have any problem admitting that I have little to no sexual agency or autonomy in a male-dominated environment.” While fleshing out that idea as much as one can in a single conversation, a stark reality manifested. Many women may not be ready to accept it, but most female agency and autonomy... Read more
