Imam Luqman Ahmad Mosque Without Borders

If you’re one of those Muslims who only woke up yesterday to what’s going on in Muslim America, or a novice Muslim activist, then  you don’t get to come in on the ground floor and pontificate to people what’s what, like you’ve mastered the terrain, all the while you’re just joining the party. You can’t…

Violence against Muslim women is increasing. In the Black American Muslim communities across this nation, our women are increasingly single, unattached mothers of children, not part of communities and entirely on their own. They are subject to predators more than ever before. Some women place themselves in situations due to their lifestyles to be abused…

“America is more than what many Muslims think of her. I’m not blind to her faults but it is wrong to believe that our country and our history is without virtue’. — Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad These are the United States of America, and I respect the right of every American to have his…

The Black American Muslim paper tiger campaign against white supremacy seems to have no Islamic ideological anchor. Our unbridled undisciplined hatred for a loosely defined “white supremacy” is such that it only took moments for us to condemn an 18 year old black man who forgave his brothers killer. Interestingly enough, the people whom we…

The American Muslim immigrant community should not be silent about this yet another murder of a Black American man, in this case George Floyd at the hands of the police. If American Muslim immigrants want to really champion working against racism and white supremacy then such eaders need to not only condemn this incident in…

I have seen, heard from and spoken to many extremely smart and intelligent Muslim women who still believe and champion the Book, the Sunna, the beliefs of Islam, and what was revealed to the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم. Some of you have expressed frustration and a sense of helplessness because so much is…

The brutality of this rebellion was so fierce on both sides that during the day, people used to hide in their homes, hide in wells, and in sewers, and only come out at night to hunt rats, dogs and cats and even resorting to eating the flesh of human corpses in order to survive. The…
