The Human Need to Be Seen and Understood | Clergy Corner
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Imagine asking an older neighbor, “How are you?” Usually, he answers, “Fine,” and you both continue on your way. Today, however, you stop. You ask again, gently, and wait. He tells you that since his wife died, evenings have become the hardest part of his day. His children call, but they live far away. You listen for a few minutes. As you leave, he says, “Thank you for stopping.” You have not changed his circumstances.

Column: Still becoming ‘We the People’
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Two hundred and fifty years ago, America began a remarkable experiment: people of different backgrounds living together under one Constitution, united not by ancestry but by shared ideals. On June 30, 1974, I arrived in America as an immigrant. More than 50 years later, I celebrate her 250th birthday as a grateful American citizen. Like millions before me, I came with dreams but no guarantees. America did not promise success; she promised opportunity.
One human family, many different rooms | Clergy Corner
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Imagine if the whole world suddenly discovered that everyone on Earth belonged to one gigantic family what’s App group.

Why so many good people feel empty inside | Clergy Corner
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Many people today are not struggling because life is hard. They are struggling because, despite doing everything right, life feels hollow. They followed the rules. Worked hard. Raised families. Paid their dues. Stayed out of trouble. And yet, somewhere along the way, something quietly went missing. This emptiness is rarely dramatic. It does not always look like sadness or despair. More often, it hides behind busy schedules, polite smiles, and respectable lives.

Breaking bread, breaking barriers | Clergy Corner
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... In a busy and often divided world, we search for sophisticated ways to bring people together. But sometimes the most powerful answer is beautifully simple: sit down, share a meal, and talk like human beings. A dinner table may not look like an instrument of diplomacy, yet it remains one of the strongest bridges people can build with one another.
God’s love for humanity - A call to mercy | Clergy Corner
The Quran reminds us that true greatness lies in being loving, fair, and compassionate to all who share our journey. God’s love for humanity is vast and boundless.

The Holy Quran reminds us that God loves humanity.
Freedom, faith and family: A heartfelt reflection on July 4th, 2025 | Clergy Corner
On July 4th, 2025, America celebrated its 249th Independence Day — a day marked by fireworks, parades, and patriotic songs. But for me, it was more than just a national holiday. It became a moment of quiet reflection. A pause in the midst of celebration, where I looked around and realized — I have been gifted with freedom, a pretty good state of health, genuine happiness, and above all, a great family. What more could one ask for?
’50 years together: Navigating the Jurassic Park of marriage’ | Clergy Corner
My wife and I recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary, a remarkable journey humorously echoing the groom who once joked, “Marriage is like a walk in the park. Jurassic Park.” When he blurted this out during his wedding toast, laughter erupted throughout the banquet hall, capturing the essence of marriage—a journey beautiful yet occasionally filled with unexpected challenges and formidable obstacles. In Islamic culture, the family, not the individual, is the basic unit of society.

As Muslims, we believe that humanity is the creation of one God, endowed with unique qualities and needs.

God endowed us with the capacity to think, make decisions, and strive for progress.

Doing good does us all good | Clergy Corner
On one gloomy day, as I crawled toward the toll booth on one of the San Francesco Bay Area bridges, exhaustion weighed heavy on my shoulders, each mile feeling like an eternity. Then, a surprise: the car ahead: someone unknown to me, whom I’ll never meet again, paid my toll, a stranger’s fleeting act of kindness that pierced through the gloom.

[ Book review] A process without a product
I enjoy reading political treatises by Pakistani authors. They are insightful and describe what is behind the scenes. Many are also well researched but are often based on secondary sources. All seem to be opinionated and focused on conspiracy theories. On the other hand, treatises about Pakistan created by overseas research groups, often university based, seem to be analytical and objective but are often biased by theoretical rather than empirical premises.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Research, Aug 2023 Numerous biomarkers have been proposed for diagnosis, therapeutic, and prognosis in sepsis.

‘Some very sad and disturbing real news headlines’ | Clergy Corner
The quote “may you live in interesting times” is often attributed to an ancient Chinese curse. It is commonly used as an ironic expression rather than an actual blessing. Despite the seemingly benign nature of the phrase it’s considered a curse. The Interesting times imply a period marked by significant and unpredictable events. Living in such times means being constantly exposed to uncertainty, turmoil and upheaval.
A Comprehensive Analysis of Security-Based Schemes in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract : Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are comprised of sensor nodes that are deployed under the water having limited battery power and other limited resources.

March 23, 2023, is the start of Ramadan, the holiest month of the Islamic calendar. Ramadan is a month-long religious observance by Muslims worldwide. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until dusk, which means abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs such as smoking and sex during the daylight hours. Just few days before the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan started, along with my wife and few other Muslim friends I attended a “Lenten Lunch” at a local Church.

‘A mind is like a parachute, works best when open’ | Clergy Corner
Paulo Coelho’s magical work novel ‘The Alchemist’ has several magical, fun and profound quotes, but today following quote perfectly works for me, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.” Starting from the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when not for any fault of ours, as individuals or the community, but just with the guilt by association, a very stressful, painful time had started.

Who am I and what am I doing here? | Clergy Corner
There are some very important and basic theological differences among the three great Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. However, the conception of God that HE is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent remains a common feature. Also that ultimately, God is one, He is eternal and He is the creator of the universe. When I am writing these lines we the Muslims are almost halfway through the fasting month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims don’t eat or drink between dawn and sunset.
‘My whole head is fenced with razor sharp barbed wire’ | Clergy Corner
Currently, I am reading a book “The Anatomy of Peace,” which was gifted to me by a dear friend and a colleague at the Woodland Ecumenical and Multi-Faith Ministries, Ms. Viola Fong of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Clarion call of the most loving just God | Clergy Corner
Recently, I read a wonderful thought-provoking article by Pastor Dr. Larry Love of Woodland Christian Church Disciples of Christ with the title ”Love is the best we can do.” Pastor Love writes that what strikes me in these verses in biblical passage (1 John 4:7-21), John begins by naming his readers. He calls them “Beloved.” He’s expressing his affection for them, but also declaring they are the beloved of God.
Let’s STOP hate against any and all groups and stand together as one nation under God | Clergy Corner
