Here is the first post in a new column called Islamify Inspires where we will be highlighting interesting posts from Islamify.
Islamic Scholars Impersonated by Children
This was absolutely hilarious and I wish I could see the full version. The make-up done on these children was done professionally and the talent was apparent. Having the scholars there and seeing their reaction was priceless as well. Zakir Naik, AbdurRahman Green and several others were there . They did an impression of Yasir Qadhi but you only got to see a short clip of it.
Grand Theft Life by Suhaib Webb
Shaykh Suhaib warns Muslims against the evils of the Grand Theft Auto video game series and against wasting their time but the real shocker in this piece was the quote: “I’m ashamed to admit that my exposure to this game was limited until I began to travel the Muslim world.” Wild man, Subhanallah!!!
Canadian Union of Postal Workers Campaign Against Israeli Apartheid
This was truly inspiring. According to the article this is “the first time a country-wide labour union in North America has voted to participate in the global campaign against apartheid in Palestine, CUPW’s resolution represents a critical juncture for the involvement of North American labour in this campaign.”
“Verily, the victory of ALLAH is near!”
This gives me hope that when the Muslim reconquer Jerusalem for the second time it will be as the first, a bloodless victory inshallah.
Critics Cost Muslim Educator Her Dream School
While this article is about Debbie Almontaser’s dilemma after being forced to resign due to the media’s branding her secular school project, a radical madrasa, what really stood out was a quote from Daniel Pipes. He warned against “lawful Islamists” who are conducting a “soft jihad” against America by “working through the system — the school system, the media, the religious organizations, the government, businesses and the like — [to] promote radical Islam.”
I don’t need to tell you how outrageous that sounds. Apparently, even the nonviolent participation of Muslims in American society is dangerous!
Imam Siraj to Give Khutbah in Defense of America’s Imam
This one is about some important activism. If you are in the area of Newark, New Jersey you should come down, at least for the Jumaa salat if you are able to lend your support to the beloved Imam Mohammad Qatanani who is unjustly facing deportation. I call him America’s Imam because he is the model of what an Imam in America should be. His efforts in helping the Muslim community are tireless as are his civic and interfaith activities. Because of his reputation high profile Rabbis, Priests and politicians, including Governor Corzine of New Jersey, have given him public support. Help out or spread the word. inshallah.
Well that’s all for the first edition of Islamify Inspires, if there is anything on Islamify that inspires you please comment and let us know.
