    Part 2: Reflections From Iraq: The Ziyareh

    The word Ziyarah (زيارة) originates from the Arabic زور literally translating as “to visit, or to meet” referring to the pilgrimage undertaken by Muslims to places associated with the Holy Prophet Mohammed (saw), his family, and other venerated figures within Islam. Interestingly, a closely associated Arabic term زيار rather aptly takes the meaning of ‘aid or […]

    Resurrected from the soil of suffocation

    I wake up in a society that shuns me, it shuns my religion and distorts my place within it until everyone is lead to believe that my religion actually oppresses me. A sad reality. My religion has been established to give my kind liberty and lift us from the soil society buried us in. My […]

    Part 1: Reflections From Iraq: In the footsteps of the Imam

    I recently returned home after having been away for ten days. The taxi from the airport hastily brought me home. I walked up the driveway dragging my dusty suitcase and rang the doorbell nervously. He came running to the door at the sound. I realised then that I had missed the patter of his small […]

    The Blind Woman

    We are all seekers of something one way or the other. We beg, we steal, we grab, or we do it tactfully, we always want something from others. We look upon each other for all kinds of help. Not necessarily in financial terms, but more essentially in the cultural, social, and spiritual realms. We build […]

    The recent blasphemous defamation of the grand status of Prophet Muhammad (SA) has sparked much rage and anger of Muslims across the globe.  The movie, “Innocence of Muslims” co-scripted and directed by Sam Bacile, denigrates the status of the Prophet (SA) and deliberately maligns him, Islam, and Muslims.  Such anti-Islam film is proof that hatred […]
