Imam Luqman Ahmad Mosque Without Borders

In the near lawless state of Black Muslim and convert America, many foreign based Islamic rulings and scholarly opinions directed at American Muslims and converts are absolutely useless and only add to our problems. Scholars in the Middle East and elsewhere in the Muslim world, despite the best intentions, are not in a position to…

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalaani is another one of those illustrious scholars of Islam that I have a great respect, love and reverence for because of his contributions to the religion of Islam and to traditional scholarship. His works convinced me to become an adherent of the Shaafi’ee school of law. Of the many explanations of Sahih…

MUSLIM MEN BECOME BROKEN IN OTHER WAYS Being a Muslim man is not as easy as people make it seem. We are not the all powerful tyrants and arrogant ogres as some of us, especially some Muslim women characterize us to be. Muslim men have obligations and responsibilities for our wives, our children, our families,…

HOW HARDCORE FEMINISM OPPRESSES BLACK MUSLIM WOMEN The core of modern-day hardcore feminism is not to be subordinate to men under any circumstances, father, husband, Imam, teacher, leader, or anything. Some Muslim women just can’t find a way to reconcile that notion with the notion of family, Prophethood, or the idea that obeying one’s husband…

THE HIJRA (MIGRATION) OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET (SAWS).Whaen the Pophet made the Hijrah from Mecca to Medina, there were less than 90 people with him. Most gave up everything including their homes and possessions. The first one to make hijrah was Abu Salama ibn Abdul-Asad. He had made the first hijrah to Abyssinia but when…

The newest issue to hit the American Muslim national issue menu is fighting “white supremacy”. Here we go again. Seems like I saw this movie before, more than once. I just hope we don’t start hunting down white supremacists like we ridiculously hunted down Islamophobes. That didn’t work out too well. Who’s bright idea was…

If I was a powerful white supremacist, and I wanted to dampen the Black Lives Matter momentum, I would have “Black Lives Matter” painted on streets in every major city where there are Blacks, people would consider that an achievement. I would get millions of Black Lives Matter hats, shirts, emblems and coffee cups, and…

Praise is to Allah and may the salutations of Allah the Almighty be upon His Prophet. The purpose of this ruling is to provide clarity for Muslims going out in the streets and peacefully protesting or demonstrating their angst or opposition against oppression of Black people in the United States. There have been a couple…

One of the goals in addressing racism in Muslim America is mending rifts between Black American Muslims and converts and the rest of the American Muslim population and for the politically correct minded, not to offend anyone in the process. Mending when it comes to Muslims, can occur almost instantaneously by the grace of the…

“Black Imams are seeking power” That’s rhetoric from an ancient internal anti-Black, self-hate, slave mentality playbook. One that should have been discarded along time ago. Over the last 50 years or so, many Black American Muslims have been convinced that their Imams are good imams as long as they are struggling, not able to do…
