It is kind of moral disorder that […] - [“Learn Co-Existence From Muslims”- UK Bishop Tells Christians](https://muslimtribune.org/learn-co-existence-from-muslims-uk-bishop-tells-christians/): Speaking to the General Synod, the Church of England’s national assembly, in York, Rt Rev Nick Baines, the Bishop of Bradford, told Christians to learn coexistence from the Muslim minority living in British cities, adding that some parishes in his diocese were 95% Muslim, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.

For U.S. Muslims who lived 11 years of seclusion and hard times of rampant Islamophobia that retaliated for September 11 attacks, Bin Laden’s death brought hope for better future of more peace and less hatred.   Speaking at a news conference Monday morning in […] - [Muslim World Receives Obama’s Speech With A Pinch Of Salt](https://muslimtribune.org/muslim-world-receives-obamas-speech-with-a-pinch-of-salt/): The speech delivered a few days ago by the U.S. President, seen as a fresh new attempt to reach out to the Muslim world in the wake of the killing of Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden and the recent wave of uprisings sweeping the Arab world, brought back to memory his historic and largely emotional speech he gave two years ago, wherein he made many rosy promises all of which seem to have been doomed to failure.

A number of unknown groups started to circulate pamphlets at mosques as well as text messages and emails, calling on Muslims to “oppose the Kufr (unbeliever’s) Bill,” proposed by the Parliament. And most recently, the South African Justice Ministry opened the latest draft of the Bill (MMB) up for public survey, inviting submissions on the bill’s contents. Between media uproar, blatant rejection […] - [Nigeria Introduces Islamic Banking](https://muslimtribune.org/nigeria-introduces-islamic-banking/): VOA news has reported that, adding that the decision has split the country’s religious leaders. Islamic banking is an interest-free banking system that abides by the Shariah law which also prohibits investing in businesses that provide goods or services that violate Islamic principles. Islamic Banking involves profit sharing which is termed “Mudarabah”, as well as advance purchase with later share at marked-up price, also termed “Murabaha”. It also includes what’s called “Ijarah” or long-term credit, and “Musharakah”, or equity sharing.

Whenever an argument alludes to the subject of Muslim women, claims about  their   misrepresentation, weakness and oppression immediately are brought into discussion. It pains me to see the status of Muslim women so ridiculed and downplayed. And I tend to see  sterotypical misconception srampant at both sides: Muslims and non-Muslims alike, even among Muslimahs themselves, particularly those who are misinformed and […] - [Contemporary Muslimahs: Challenges And Opportunities - Part I](https://muslimtribune.org/contemporary-muslimahs-challenges-and-opportunities-part-i/): By employing all that’s in their capacities of social, academic and professional skills, besides comprehensive understanding of Islam, Muslim women can be powerful institutions educating people about Islam, thereby serving the message of Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Muslim Ummah, and humanity at large. I thought twice and deep before constructing this article, wondering what would be the best way to offer the core idea behind it plain and clear. Should I put it in the classical form of a multi-paragraphed article or should I jot down subtitles with bulleted pieces of […] - [Contemporary Muslimahs: Challenges And Opportunities - Part II](https://muslimtribune.org/contemporary-muslimahs-challenges-and-opportunities-part-ii/):   In the previous episode of Contemporary Muslimahs series, I tackled the contemporary and greatly challenging role Muslim women play nowadays, as human institutions known for 3D influence impacting world communities and as far as each woman’s sway can reach, her children, definitely her husband, where she works if she chose to, among other areas of communication a woman may participate in. In this episode perhaps I shall attempt to sketch the characteristics of Muslimahs (Muslim women) as Islam propagates, partially to correct many misconceptions pertaining to Muslim women’s “oppression” in Islam, and partially to educate Muslim women of the […] - [Contemporary Muslimahs: Challenges And Opportunities - Part III](https://muslimtribune.org/contemporary-muslimahs-challenges-and-opportunities-part-iii/):   Let’s talk about the notion of Freedom, what it connotes and how it poses a real challenge for Muslimahs nowadays, same way it can be an opportune opportunity if well analyzed and pursued. Dear Brothers and Sisters, Assalamu alikum, The reason I’m addressing you Brothers and Sisters at the beginning of this article even though, as the title reads, it’s a female-oriented subject, is actually two fold. On the outer crust, it’s to stress the fact that what involves one gender involves the other, and this what makes a holistic society where the notion of brotherhood is enacted to […] - [Reflections On The Life Of Prophet Joseph- PART I](https://muslimtribune.org/reflections-on-the-life-of-prophet-joseph-part-i/): The story of Prophet Youssuf (peace be upon him) is a multilayered drama, a riddle that was deciphered just before the finale, to teach humanity, for generations to come, the true essence of life, the wisdom of All Knowing Allah, and the pride of treading towards the path leading to the Pleasure of Almighty God. Whenver Prophet Youssuf is mentioned, the only morale of his life triggered in people’s minds is preserving chastity while facing the desire of Zulaykha, the wife of Al Aziz. But there’s more to the Story of this noble Prophet than the common limited perception applied […] - [Knud Holmboe: Legacy Untold](https://muslimtribune.org/knud-holmboe-legacy-untold/): He is Knud Valdemar Gylding Holmboe, a famous Danish journalist, travel writer and author of the acclaimed Desert Encounter, known for its controversial and outspoken condemnation of the ruthless acts of the colonial regimes of North Africa, particularly the Italian authority, at the hands of which, the Muslim population of Libya faced some of the most horrific atrocities known to history.   Himself a victim of oppression by Italians during their colonization of Libya, Holmboe’s traveling nature took him from Denmark to Morocco, the Egyptian deserts, then Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, among other parts of North Africa, where he witnessed […] - [Reflections On The Life Of Prophet Joseph- PART II](https://muslimtribune.org/reflections-on-the-life-of-prophet-joseph-part-ii/): The magnificence of the story of Prophet Youssuf (pbuh) lies in the fact that it manifests bounteous attributes of God intrinsically grouping them in one parable which, while revolves around the course of life of one person, combines several places, people, life situations, and most importantly brings into focus a copious assortment of morals … Once again we’re living the inspirational narrative of Prophet Youssuf (PBUH), one of the most beautiful parables in the Quran as particularly testified by Allah (SWT): “We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this […] - [The Concept Of Worship In Islam- PART I](https://muslimtribune.org/the-concept-of-worship-in-islam-part-i/): Man has been created as Allah’s vicegerent on earth. With his honourable mission, man signifies the climax and the epicenter of Allah’s act of creation and its divine purpose. As such, man elevates himself to the highest level in the hierarchy of life’s constituents. - [Reflections On The Life Of Prophet Joseph- PART V](https://muslimtribune.org/reflections-on-the-life-of-prophet-joseph-part-v-2/):   Besides the tormenting agony that tore the heart of Prophet Jacob and young Joseph following their separation resulting from Joseph’s siblings’ evil plan, the love bond that tied the father and the son was itself a source of spiritual support throughout the journey of Joseph’s life. Still digging through the levels of meanings, morals, and lessons learned from the meritorious life story of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him), one of the Prophets who faced some of the most difficult challenges, trials and life calamities ever known to the history of humanity till date. The previous episode, Part IV, […] - [Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque](https://muslimtribune.org/sheikh-zayed-grand-mosque/): Located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in the Gulf state and the eighth largest mosque in the world.

A person’s refined character and morals (akhlaq), as well as a high level of God-consciousness (taqwa), denote the ultimate goal at which all the Islamic religious rituals and rites in unison point, and towards which they all as one lead.   The actual spiritual state of those religious rituals and rites are conditioned by their impact on one’s akhlaq and taqwa. Therefore, the religious rituals and rites are not […] - [Reflections On The Life Of Prophet Joseph- PART IV](https://muslimtribune.org/reflections-on-the-life-of-prophet-joseph-part-iv/):   This post shall focus on another single virtue that runs through the heart of the most famous challenge faced by Prophet Joseph, perhaps the most difficult of all which he had to live through and exemplarily combat- Chastity it is!   In the previous episodes we sketched a number of moral values that are strictly tied to embracing a genuine Muslim character and developing pure and strong faith in Almighty, and what this involves of love for and fear of Him, sound reliance on Him and trust in His divine wisdom. We’ve already analyzed many merits extracted from the […] - [Reflections On The Life Of Prophet Joseph- PART V](https://muslimtribune.org/reflections-on-the-life-of-prophet-joseph-part-v/):   Besides the tormenting agony that tore the heart of Prophet Jacob and young Joseph following their separation resulting from Joseph’s siblings’ evil plan, the love bond that tied the father and the son was itself a source of spiritual support throughout the journey of Joseph’s life. Still digging through the levels of meanings, morals, and lessons learned from the meritorious life story of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him), one of the Prophets who faced some of the most difficult challenges, trials and life calamities ever known to the history of humanity till date.

It’s time to reminisce on the events that took place in that Holy Land long years ago and involved the noble prophets and our pious Muslim predecessors.       It’s also time to reflect on the moral and wisdom of Hajj, return to Allah in repentance, and mark a new start of the year to come and perhaps one’s entire life. It’s a season of purity, repentance, and spiritual retreat, even for Muslims who weren’t […] - [Umar: Thoughts On Leadership In Islam](https://muslimtribune.org/umar-thoughts-on-leadership-in-islam/): He is Umar ibn Al Khattab, or Al Farooq (the distinguisher), and he was so called for his shrewdness and boldness in differentiating between the good and the evil, the truth and falsehood, defending the weak and fighting the oppressor regardless of his power, political and social status, or wealth.   “If there be a prophet after me, that would be Umar ibn Al Khattab”- said the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. This is the essence of the personality of Umar ibn Al Khattab, the second in order in the chain of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, […] - [Love The Rumi Way](https://muslimtribune.org/love-the-rumi-way/): Centuries ago, the Sufis, particularly poets, and primarily Mevlana Jalaluddin Mohamed Rumi, offered a universal interpretation of Love, placing it as the original seed of creation, a hidden power bringing all the elements of the Created Beings together, and keeping the cycle of life “alive”.   Love does speak itself out, no matter how hard one tends to conceal it. “A man in love, no matter what he says; The smell of love wafts love-ward from his mouth” (1) But what is love? One of the most difficult questions asked to mankind. Beyond any labeling, it is that which is […] - [Dead End Or Turning Point? A Muslim Is Never Victim To Depression](https://muslimtribune.org/dead-end-or-turning-point-a-muslim-is-never-victim-to-depression/): There may be times in our lives when we face intriguing hurdles that keep us glum, sullen and shackled with assumptions on how to pave our way to some better destiny. If you are a wise Muslim, with alert conscious and shrewd intuition, you should heed at such moments that the path being pursued is no more suitable and accept the fact that time for a drastic change Has Come. Also logic dictates that when it gets dim, one should seek light and let it guide him/her. It’s when intuition, once silenced, needs to take the lead and direct you […] - [Stairway To Paradise - Part I-](https://muslimtribune.org/stairway-to-paradise-part-i/): A proper Muslim character, one that abides by the Law of God and fears nobody but Him, started developing since the advent of the faith of Monotheism, at the hands of Prophets and Messengers sent down to earth by Almighty Allah, reaching its perfection in the form of the concluding Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). This is another series of articles on The Muslim Tribune, offering practical guidance on the way to attain God’s Satisfaction, itself a gateway for fulfillment and everlasting happiness in this Life and the Hereafter. A proper Muslim character, one that abides by the Law […] - [Alter Ego- Islamic Viewpoint](https://muslimtribune.org/alter-ego-islamic-viewpoint/): Inherent in human beings is the concept of ego – the urge of regarding self as most important. The avid nature within that holds the ‘I’ as the priority. Recognition of the self is not something discouraged but rather promoted in Islam. Yet giving the self so much importance as to going to the extent of placing Islamic values at a lower level with respect to one’s ego is wrong. And we are indeed but all guilty of it. The bus came to a halt at a bus stop on its usual route and I reflexively looked beyond the window […] - [Pursuit Of Knowledge: An Islamic Perspective](https://muslimtribune.org/pursuit-of-knowledge-an-islamic-perspective/):   Islam teaches that a good Muslim is one who always seeks to nurture himself with everything it needs for an efficient fulfillment of his role in life as God’s vicegerent on Earth, and the mind is surely one important constituent of the self, if not the most important after the heart, that needs to be cultivated, definitely, with knowledge. The Pen was the first thing God created and then the Tablet. If this signifies anything, it tells of the importance and criticality of knowledge. And in a further stress on the importance of knowledge, as a way of knowing […] - [Age Of Moral Decadence](https://muslimtribune.org/age-of-moral-decadence/): Whenever the subject of moral inappropriateness in our modern times is raised a debate over the disoriented conception of the “split” between Islamic attitude and good moral character immediately becomes the focus of the argument. Good morals have repeatedly been highlighted in the Quran and Sunnah as cornerstone for a true Muslim character, if not an essential faculty of integral Islam. I recall this Hadith wherein An-Nawwas ibn Sam’an said, “I asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about piety and wrong action. He said: ‘Piety is good character and wrong action is what […] - [Stairway To Paradise - Part II-](https://muslimtribune.org/stairway-to-paradise-part-ii/): In Part I of this series I touched on the pursuit of salvation and entering Paradise,  highlighting Perfect Ethics and Good Morals as cornerstone for such. In Part II I will shed more light on examples of good ethics, taking the character of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, as a super role model to elaborate on many plausible manners. In Part I of this series I touched on the pursuit of salvation and entering Paradise,  highlighting Perfect Ethics and Good Morals as cornerstone for such. In Part II I will shed more light on examples of good ethics, taking […] - [“Recite” Was The First Command](https://muslimtribune.org/recite-was-the-first-command/): It was during that night in the cave of Hira when Prophet Muhammad was engaged in spiritual reflection and contemplation that the revelation took place, by first ordering him to “recite” connoting to read and fully grasp the heavy message and knowledge he’s about to receive and later propagate.   “Recite in the name of your Lord who created – Created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous- Who taught by the pen – Taught man that which he knew not.”—Quran 96:1-5 These noble verses mark the beginning of revelation unto Prophet Muhammad (peace […] ## Pages - [Home](https://muslimtribune.org/home/): Bismillah 🍁 Welcome to the new launch of The Muslim Tribune — a space for quiet reflection, thoughtful inquiry, and sincere expression.
