Abdul Malik Mujahid

Once Khalifa Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, noticed a bird on a tree. He sighed deeply saying “O, bird! How lucky you are! You sit on the tree, you eat from the fruit, then fly away, you fear no accountability or punishment. I wish I was like you.”

If you are like me, you may be making phone calls and marching to end genocide but still feel helpless. Another small minority in America felt like us over a century ago, but they turned their frustration into energy for their empowerment.

Muslims constitute the largest number of the world’s refugee population. The cycle of war-terror-Islamophobia is hurting Muslim lives while they continue to struggle for freedom, justice and Islam. 

Alhamdu lillah, in 2020, Muslims went above and beyond to serve and contribute to America and the world.
