Dave Chappelle gives Salams and says Eid Mubarak in London

Warning: Foul language is used and jokes with drug references.

At 3:23 he asks the crowd “Where the muslims at?” and then says “Salamualykum” and “Eid Mubarak” to the one Muslim in the crowd.

May Allah guide him. Ameen!

Obesity and Eating in Islam

“Eat and drink but not to excess” (7:32)

What is Obesity?

Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much.

Both can occur over time when one eats more calories than one uses. Factors that may cause obesity are:

  • overeating
  • eating high-fat foods, high caloric, and/or high carbohydrates
  • sedentary lifestyle
  • poor sleep habits
  • poor stress management
  • lastly, genetics

Overeating vs 1/3 Eating

U2′s new Album will feature Moroccan Sufi Music!

The power of dhikr:

“We’re just beginning the processes,” Bono told The Independent. “We did some recording in Morocco last year. All the band went to an amazing religious music festival in Fez with some incredible sufi singers. It was a real humbling thing for a punk-rock shouter, listening to these people who just close their eyes for 40 minutes and sing the most sophisticated melodies.” – Bono, band member of U2

SubhanAllah! Can you imagine millions of people who will be listening to some beautiful poetry praising Allah (swt) and sending salawat upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)!? Although many of you will shout out haram. It’s not haram for a non-Muslim to use it for their music. It’s also not haram for the millions of non-Muslims to listen to the Sufi melodies. Who knows, maybe some will want to investigate more about Sufism and then start studying Islam. Only Allah knows if this will be a bridge for people to come to Islam.

Shout out to Chuck who posted it on his blog.

The Death of Aqsa Parvez

…has nothing do with Islam, but backward WACK Desi culture. Yes Desi! Muslims, Sikhs and Hindu parents from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are all prone to this type of anger with their daughters.

Desi culture is good and bad. The bad is obviously clear: honor killings. Muslims do it. Hindus do it. Sikhs do it. Honor killings do not save your honor idiots! They totally kill it and ruin it in front of everyone. What kind of backward ideology is that. “My daughter is dating a kafir! I must kill her to save my honor!” Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Who came up with this dumb idea? Oh yeah, it’s also forbidden in Islam, just like alcohol and pork.

Many Desi parents form India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have a serious problem when their daughters like a non-[insert religion here] guy. What’s even worse. Many Desi parents are extremely racist. If the daughter likes a Black guy, forget about it. It will be World War 1, 2, 3 and 4! Many Desi parents (regardless of religion) are racist towards Black people and them inter-marrying their daughters and sons. Many of these Desi parents (regardless of religion) are racist towards marrying Arabs, Whites and non-Desi (Indian, Pakistani, Bengali), but not as much to Black people.

There should be some type of new Islamic topic with classes and books: the Fiqh of Parenting. In the case of Aqsa, I blame the parents. I can almost guarantee her parents watched Bollywood films. Yet, the news media claims her father wanted her to wear hijab. How many hijabis are in Bollywood films? For the father to force the hijab on his daughter must mean he was religious. He must have been actively going to the Masjid. Is this true? Did he wear a beard? I am guessing no to most of these questions, because any one who is actively living Islam would not commit such a horrible crime.

To all the major news media networks that are reporting this horrible tragedy as having to be related to Hijab. It has very little to do with Hijab. It’s some really backward pissed off Desi father who can’t control his daughter and lost his anger and killed her. Her father was probably most likely extremely angry she wasn’t being ‘Muslim’ enough. It was beyond hijab. Her father needs to learn how to be a parent.

To the father of Aqsa Parvez, I doubt you will read this, but all I can say is: fear God, for God is the Most Just!  The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him said): “Whoever hath a daughter, and doth not bury her alive or scold her, or prefer his male children to her, may God bring him into Paradise.”

Side Note: To be fair, parents from Afghanistan and Middle Eastern Countries are also prone to this type of mental issue, but in the case of Aqsa Parvez it was the Desi mental issue.

Another good read was posted on MuslimMatters.org here.


Reign of Distraction


Contains Music

This was a last minute video done for my Film History and Theory class. It was extra credit (Which I needed!). All the footage was recorded in a total time of about 3 hours. Editing the video took about another 4 hours. God willing, the professor will like it!

For all those Warcraft fans out there, you’ll like this!


Every First Generation Muslim Needs To Read This

If you were born in this country (but your parents were not) or moved to this country when you were a young child then you need to read this. Why? We may have heard the history of Islam in America from our parents, elders or Muslims who migrated to this country. We haven’t heard it from a Black Muslim who was born and raised here. Imam Zaid and Imam Siraj always stress the importance of looking at what the Black people in general had gone through to get where they are today, so this is why it is important especially for us, immigrant children, to learn from personal stories and historical facts. Abdur-Rahman Muhammad wrote a 5-part series entitled “Why Blackamericans Muslims don’t stand for justice” which highlights the Black Muslims history, the immigrant Muslims history and in general Islam’s history in America. I recommend everyone to take some time and read it, inshaAllah, becuase it is helpful to learn from the past in order to improve the future.

Why Blackamericans Muslims don’t stand for justice: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5


This is ridiculous. I am totally against this. What kind of backward culture is this? This is haram!
