Islam Made Me A Better Citizen
Islam made me a better citizen and patriot. The Prophet Muhammad's teachings strengthened my belief in freedom and democracy. Independence Day once meant nothing more to me than an excuse to party. Prior to my acceptance of Islam, my personal behavior demonstrated all too well why July 4th ranks as the holiday most associated with alcohol-related deaths.

The Universal Declaration of Independence

Beneath the Mask of Islamophobia!
We communicate to be understood! Humans have both the incredible capacity to do good, collaborate and excel, and devastating potential for misdeeds, destruction, and evil.
A Hopeful Vision of Service
I’ve been deeply distressed by the growing political backlash to the restrictions that many states and local governments have put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Most troubling is the extent to which the pandemic has become a partisan football, with polls showing Democrats and Republicans as divided on this issue as they are on other hot

Muslims That Shaped America
Islam is not a foreign religion in the United States but rather deeply rooted in the society since its inception. Studies and reports show that Muslims landed on the New world even before Columbus.

My Journey to Islam: Ibrahim Hewitt
The destination in all cases is one and the same, it is Islam, the religion Allah accepts from humans.

Omar Ibn Said: Autobiography of a Muslim Slave
Omar Ibn Said was 37 years old when he was taken from his West African home and transported to Charleston, South Carolina, as a slave in the 1800s. Now, his one-of-a-kind autobiographical manuscript has been translated from its original Arabic and housed at the Library of Congress, where it “annihilates” the conventional narrative of African slaves as uneducated and uncultured. Amna Nawaz reports.
Jansson's Temptation
Jansson’s temptation, or Janssons frestelse − a creamy potato and anchovy casserole − is said to have been named after Pelle Janzon, a food-loving Swedish opera singer of the early 1900s. In any case, the recipe was published for the first time in 1940, and this rich casserole quickly became a classic of the Swedish Christmas dinner table. But Jansson’s temptation can just as easily be eaten at any time of year.
