Frauen im Qur’an: über Aspekte von Weiblichkeit in der Offenbarung
Foto: Rawpixel Ltd/Adobe Stock Der Qur’an erzählt von Frauen nicht als Randerscheinung, sondern als Teil seiner allgemeinen Botschaft an alle Menschen (iz).

Black Muslims and Black Issues
It saddens me when I hear a Black Muslim gives lectures on “Islamic issues” that are in fact South Asian and Arab Muslim issues. It saddens me when I hear a Black Muslim gives lectures on “Islamic issues” that are in fact South Asian and Arab Muslim issues. Had I been born in Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs, it would have been a good time to be Black. Black people were the ruling class. The oppressed class, at least for a period of time, was the Hebrews.

Debatte: Vom Gendern und Pronomen
(iz). Es war an der Hochschule, als ich zum ersten Mal jemanden Gott mit dem weiblichen Pronomen der dritten Person Singular bezeichnete. Vor Jahren veröffentlichte die „New York Times“ einen Artikel über die Kongressabgeordnete Rashida Tlaib, in dem sie zitiert wurde: „Mein Allah ist eine Sie.“ Was beides verbindet, ist die Tatsache, dass Frauen „Gott“ mit „sie“ bezeichneten und nicht einen weiteren Kontext lieferten, was damit ausgedrückt werden sollte.
How Prophet Yusuf (A. S) Can Empower the Modern Man Towards Sexual Modesty
The story of Yusuf, peace to him, is unique in the Quran in that Allah provides us with a great deal of detail. Many prophets and righteous people are mentioned in the Quran but their stories are usually brief and only give us a small insight into their lives. In Surah Yusuf Allah tells us, “Surely, in (the story of) Yusuf and his brothers, there are signs for those who ask” [12:47].
The Difference Between Ibn Ali And Everyone Else (The Need For Authentic Dawah)
Guest post from Areeba Baig Sometimes you are so busy with life you don’t think much of where it all started, how you became who you are, the journeys you took and the people who helped you along them. And then something happens which forces you to pause. Only then you remember there were people who played a major role in shaping you to the person you are today, in turning your dreams which you thought would remain dreams forever into a reality. I’m remembering now.
Rights and Reciprocity: Reflections on the Ingredients a Successful Marriage Needs
by Nuriddeen Knight in Relationships on 3rd September, 2019 The problem with forgoing rights is that you still know they belong to you, you may forgo them if everything is good but once there’s a crack in other areas that rocky foundation starts to fall apart. A friend may not ask you for the money they loaned you but if you go too long without handing it over it may just come up.
13 Ways to Be Forgiven: Starts With Fasting on the Day of Arafat
Alhamdulillah, we have a variety of ways to call out Allah (SWT) to get our sins forgiven. We have ways to get our previous sins forgiven and the sins that we will make in the future to be forgiven as well. Most of the time, we hear that after doing a mistake or a sin, if we raise our hands and make Dua and seek forgiveness we will be forgiven. Yes, that is true. There are many other ways, which we need to adapt in our lives to seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT).
The Path Is One Path: If All Sacred Places Become Worldly, Who Will Need Sacred Spaces?
by Nuriddeen Knight in Soul on 26th July, 2019 We find ourselves in discussions about modernity and re-interpreting Islam for our times. Christianity has had no problem doing this over the years, of course, ‘re-interpret’ is a misnomer for ‘ignore the sacred text’ but nevertheless churches have successfully become modernized places turning a blind eye to or supporting Zina, immodesty, homosexuality and the like. And thus some Muslims are puzzled as to why we can’t do the same.
The 13 Point Guide to Networking as an Introvert
For the longest time I dreaded networking and to be honest I still do. But over the years I have figured out different ways to make the experience that little less uncomfortable. I can’t promise that these will help you work the room at the next event you go to, like a pro but maybe they will give you that little bit more confidence. Social media is your best friend I have been able to make some incredible connections online.
How Men’s Silence Hurts Women
What’s troubled me about the #metoo movement from its inception is struggling with the appropriate boundaries of the movement. Is it simply about sexual assault? Should it only be about sexual assault? Or is it about much more than that? The issue with consent With the advent of condoms, birth control, and abortion we as a society believed we’d finally removed the ‘high stakes’ from sex, with no pregnancy or disease to worry about sex could finally become casual.
“If You Don’t Know Your Rights, We Won’t Ask for Them to Be Given to You” My Reflection of the Screening of the Judge
I went to see the amazing screening of The Judge at Lush X with Amaliah. Who knew Lush had a film festival? And in true Lush style it wasn’t just a standard cinema, there was popcorn served in recycled lush pots, their bathroom full of lush products to pamper yourself. The screening room had a nice communal feel with pillows for comfort and most of all a great atmosphere full of like minded sisters.
The Importance of Recognising the Socio-Economic Context for Women on Requesting Their God Given Financial Rights
Over the last couple of days Muslim Twitter, and more specifically British Muslim Twitter, has been engulfed in yet another round of (the seemingly endless) gender wars. The issue, this time, centered around the advisability or otherwise of marrying a man who lacks financial stability. Many prominent Muslim women pointed to an unhealthy tendency, within certain (online and off-line) Muslim circles, to romanticise marriages where the husband is financially unstable.

‘Fast and You Will Be Healthy’ Why We Should Continue Fasting After Shawwal (Part 1)
For the next four weeks, I’ll be writing about fasting, it’s benefits and my personal experience. It may seem strange to choose to do this after Ramadan since Ramadan is the only time of year when we as Muslims are obliged to fast but the reality is that fasting is a strong tradition in Islam even outside of Ramadan. We know the prophet, peace and blessings be to him, would often fast on Mondays and Thursdays as well as a few days in the middle of the month.
These Muslim Students Are Creating a More Inclusive Sporting Culture at University
Sports societies at universities can often be synonymous with drinking culture, initiation events and wild nights out, which for many are not inclusive. ISOC netball was started by a group of students to challenge perceptions of Muslim women and use sport as a means of empowerment. The group of Muslim students aim to increase engagement in sports, connecting students across universities in the UK.
Fast and You’ll Be Healthy: Fasting as Habit Part 2
My week didn’t turn out precisely as planned. My daily average fasting hours over the past week was 15 —one hour short of my goal. The actual day to day numbers varied: Monday: 19 Hrs Tuesday: 14.5 Hrs Wednesday: 16 Hrs Thursday: 14.5 Hrs Friday: 13 Hrs Saturday: 7 Hrs Sunday: 21.5 Hrs The easiest way for me to do intermittent fasting has been to skip breakfast. Breakfast is one of those meals that are forced on us through culture.
Mosque Tour 4: The Islamic Centre for England
Whilst most mosques I’ve been to do not have a woman’s section we embarked on a journey in Ramadan to visit diverse mosques for evening prayers to experience the rich tapestry of nationalities, denominations and mosque structures that make up Islam in London today. The Islamic Centre for England opened in 1998 in the grade II listed building previously known as the Maida Vale Picture House.
#VeganRamadan the Internet Shares a Healthier Approach to Ramadan
Ramadan is often overlooked as a time in which we must introspectively assess our actions holistically. That means taking absolutely everything into account most of all our eating! The lifestyle and culture surrounding Ramadan can often mean excessive: eating, consuming.
An African-American Woman Reflects on the Transgender Movement
My parents never bought Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, or Snow White. They weren’t stories told in our house or movies played on our TV. There was no Princess Tiana then, but my parents only showed us films with “colored” princesses: Mulan (Asian), Pocahontas (Native American), and Jasmine (Arab). We also loved the African animals of The Lion King. We never idealized whiteness in our house. None of this was done overtly, though it may have been intentional.
