Having met several European white-skinned Muslims lately, I have noticed that they are still much more casual about converting to Islam than most Americans.

Ramadhan Reflections 1432H
What’s next after Ramadhan? Qibla Teachers Pitch in (Source: Qibla Monthly)
Shaykh Qays Arthur:
“This Ramadhan has reached mankind in general and the Muslims in particular in a state of upheaval and disquiet, economically and politically. Allah tells us that when men are corrupt, corruption becomes apparent on earth and in societies as a sign to remind us of the greater next-worldly consequences so that we may return to the right way.

It is true that Chinese Muslims can now perform Hajj in some small numbers. It is also true there are some Chinese-style mosques in certain areas. However, these developments are a “drop in the bucket”; if you consider the Muslim population in China is at least forty million. There must be some “token religious freedom” to get cooperation in business from the western world, hence these few “drops in the bucket” of liberalization.Continue reading “Uyghur Chinese Muslims subjected to prejudice”

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamualaykum WarahmatuLlahi Wabarakatuh,

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/172979
In the early years of President Sukarno‘s Indonesia, there were many very poor villagers. Since Bung Karno depended on western money to consolidate Indonesia’s new freedom, churches were not restricted in their synonymous missionary efforts. The term “rice Christian” came about as a result of villagers on the verge of starvation, or even simple malnourishment, being offered rice in exchange for church membership.Continue reading “Zakat Distribution and “Rice Christians””
