Mission Possible: A Muslim Hospital Can Be Established
Mission Possible: A Muslim Hospital Can Be Established
In the June 6, 2008 issue of the Muslim Link, an article was published titled “Muslim Doctors Abundant But Muslim Hospitals Non-Existent”. Being a Muslim physician with 25 years of experience, I have some ideas on how Muslim doctors can serve this ummah and make a Muslim hospital [...]

Is Peace Out Of Reach?
Very well recorded piece by CBS ‘60 Minutes’ about the realities of the situation in Palestine and Israel. One of the very few journalistic works in the US that is publicly aired that is truthful and not blatantly biased towards zionist propoganda.
Has peace in the Middle East become nothing more than a pipe dream? As Bob Simon [...]

Gaza: Politicians Speaking the Truth
I find it sad how many times Muslims depend so desperately on non-Muslims to solve all of the problems that affect us, many of which we created ourselves or could have avoided (which includes the recent genocide in Gaza). However, I do greatly appreciate honesty and a willingness to speak the truth by anyone. There [...]

The American Muslim Ummah, Zaytuna College and Fighting Zionism
Blog taken from Mujahideen Ryder
The injustice and atrocities in the Muslim world and around the world in general have been on the ummah’s mind since I ever started reading the news in my teens. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict existed before I was born and continues up to this second as I type this. I doubt anything [...]

Gaza families eat grass as Israel locks border
Saw this on a friends blog and had to share it as well.
May Allah (swt) ease the suffering of our brothers and sisters and deliver perfect justice to the oppresors.

AS a convoy of blue-and-white United Nations trucks loaded with food waited last night for Israeli permission to enter Gaza, Jindiya Abu Amra and her 12-year-old [...]

Robert Fisk: Why do they hate the West so much, we will ask
Article taken from this site
So once again, Israel has opened the gates of hell to the Palestinians. Forty civilian refugees dead in a United Nations school, three more in another. Not bad for a night’s work in Gaza by the army that believes in “purity of arms”. But why should we be surprised?
Have we forgotten [...]

Hal tatakallam al-lugha al-Arabiya?
Alhumdulillah I started taking Arabic classes recently with Foundation for Knowledge and Development. A friend of mine who has been taking classes with them for about a year recommended it, so I decided to try it out myself. Masha’Allah so far I really like their style of teaching, and especially the flexibility with my schedule. [...]

Fasting the Day of ‘Ashoorah (tenth of Muharram)
The Day of ‘Ashoorah (The tenth of Muharram) is this coming Wednesday. This is the day Allah saved Musaa (AS) from Fir’awn. I just wanted to remind everyone (and myself) to fast on this day, as it is a chance to have the previous year’s sins forgiven. In fact, fasting on ‘Ashoorah used to [...]
