A woman's reflection on leading prayer; by Yasmin...
On March 18, 2005 Amina Wadud led the first female-led Jumuah (Friday) prayer. On that day women took a huge step towards being more like men. But, did we come closer to actualizing our God-given liberation?

Aftermath; by Nir Rosen (pg.13-15)
”Ninety percent of Baghdad’s violently killed passed through the Criminal Medicine Department before burial. Ever since Baghdad fell on April 9, Dr. Lazim had been seeing an average of fifteen to twenty-five corpses a day - all murdered, he said, pointing to a large stack of files on a shelf and opening a drawer to show another stack. Before the war he would see about five such cases a...

Al-Sahaba & Ahle Bayt (radhiAllahu 'anhum)
May Allah give those people who make up lies about the blessed Sahaba (radhiAllahu ‘anhum) and believe them, as they deserve.

And so is it a hallmark of the Ahle Sunnah wal Jama’ah to honour...
