Mawlid Activities

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

This is a general request to all lovers of Rasulullah (may Allah bless him and grant him and his family peace).
If you know of any good Mawlid activities, please post them in the comments. They can be solitary or group activities. I’m looking for ways to remember the Prophet on his birthday by […]

Complete Faith

Friday, March 30th, 2007

It has been narrated form Nafi` from Ibn `Umar that he said that the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said, “A servant’s faith in Allah will never become complete until he possesses five traits: complete reliance (al-Tawakkul) upon Allah, complete dependence (al-Tafwid) upon Allah (what He has decreed), […]

Qur’an Alone

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Over the past 11 years that I’ve spent as a Muslim, I’ve occasionally run into someone from the Submitters, a group that describes itself as following “only the Qur’an.” They eschew hadith books as extraneous and contrary to the teachings of the Qur’an.

HTPCs and Black Votes

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

I have a new post at LinuxLibrarian about my experience building my first HTPC
and a post at Third Resurrection about the all important “black vote” juxtaposed with the Islamic concept of Justice.
I’m trying to post regularly at both of those blogs. Please read them.

Waging Peace

Friday, March 16th, 2007

I have not written an article for OneUmmah.net since Ramadan (I know; shame on me). Well, I have a new article in the works, inshAllah. It’s going to deal with “waging peace” (That won’t be the title because I borrowed it from Ralph Nader).
Muslims are quick to mention that Islam is […]
