I walk into the Masjid and meet two youth (only a year or two younger than me). While waiting for our class to begin, I take out my iPod Touch to read some Qur’an. However, one of the two kids eagerly asks if he could see it, pretty please. I allow him. He, along with [...]
I attended the Poetic Vision Tour in Miami, FL this past Sunday. Here’s some videos: Raef recites Fatiha with melody
I have embarked on a journey. Leaving behind all TV’s, mp3′s, wii’s, oh please, For this journey will make all that freeze, and truly, it is my mind it frees, A journey that precedes that of the high seas, A journey that decrees and spreads like disease, A journey that needs no introduction nor explanation [...]
…who forget Allah. I just attended a program for a brother that recently died (inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon, from Him we come and to Him we return) in Makkah, right after he’d completed his Hajj. I went on a last minute’s notice (with my father). The program included a Qur’anic recitation, and the [...]

I attended the “Seerah: The Sheperd’s Path” course these past two weekends, from Al-Maghrib Instiute taught by Shaykh Abdul-Bary Yahya. One of the best fun facts (I guess it could be a GEM (Genuinely Enlightening Moment)) that I’d learned this weekend deals with Star Wars. In the battle of Badr, in the Seerah (life of [...]
Listen to the audio of this post below: [soundcloud url="http://soundcloud.com/jawaadahmadkhan/itsrainingjinn"] Last night, the Leonids visited us. Well, sort of. If you haven’t heard, one of the most amazing meteor showers of the century was supposed to happen last night, the Leonids meteors. This past weekend was the first of the Seerah: The Sheherd’s Path class [...]
NOTE: The following is an article written by Jawaad Ahmad Khan originally published on gomestic.com. See original here. Ideas come easy. However, success doesn’t. You had the greatest idea that one time. Yup. You just knew that it would change the world. And with all the dumb inventions and products out there that your idea [...]
Wallahi (By God!), I could relate to this lecture so well. I honestly believe that this issue is what Young Muslims (YM), Muslim Youth of North America (MYNA), MAS (Muslim American Society), and finally, my local and beloved FAYM (Florida Association of Young Muslims) were built upon. I just felt like it needed to be [...]
