Like Tinder, But Safer: Troubleshooting Arranged Muslim Marriage | Newaz Ahmed: The biodatas that we send and receive are inherently superficial.

What's the Matter with All Lives Matter? | Imam Khalil Abdur Rashid: In critiquing this response to the Black Lives Matter movement, we must first understand that the All Lives Matter slogan is a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement by the wealthy, White American power establishment who are part of and have inherited the making of American history, its empire and its consciousness. It is a reminder that those on the minority side of the race relations struggle have not been granted permission to speak out against their oppression nor have they been granted any authority to narrate or complain on behalf of their own plight. by MuslimMatters

Shaykh Nadwi had written: “What a beautiful era it was when they (his mother and aunts) all would recite one juz each in Tarawih. They would follow the fatwa of some scholars and have their own congregation in which there would be a woman Imam and women followers.
