Recently my family and I experienced a difficulty when our business was damaged by an explosion. Alhamdulillah, no one was hurt in our facility, but we were still shaken up by the incident.

When we think of Eid-ul-Adha, the first things that come to mind are the Hajj pilgrimage, udhiya (sacrifice), and the blessed first ten days of the month of Dhul Hijjah. Eid-ul-Adha is our much-awaited holiday after Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr.

Summer is all about fun in the sun - traveling, water play, and getting some exercise outdoors. Some families are off to visit relatives, taking much-needed vacations, or even planning for umrah and Hajj.

Do you dread the thought of homeschooling? Do you feel like you lack the patience it takes to plan lessons, activities, educational trips, and social gatherings for your children? How would you even know your children are progressing?

If you are a parent of school-aged children or toddlers approaching the age requirement to begin formal education, then you may be thinking about the best options for you and your family.

In an era of “celebrity sheikhs” where famous scholars are followed with as much fervor as Hollywood stars, it is no surprise that some Muslims may find themselves falling head over heels for these personalities.

It is important to our faith that we surround ourselves and our families with good company. As adults, we naturally gravitate toward people with whom we have things in common and with whom we can comfortably be ourselves.
