Two Sides of the Scale
I saw from your answers to the question, "Where is the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in your lives," that my question activated your hearts before your minds. I asked what first comes to your "mind' when you hear "Muhammad" and the answer came from your "hearts;" you said sincerely, "without knowing why, tears appear before the mind takes over." While yo...

Colors of an Illuminated World
Dialogue... An expanding word given to us by a shrinking world... Or the magical key which in recent years has opened the doors to the worlds of members of different religions... As every plane taking off, every ticket bought and every telephone call shortens distances, more and more people know better what a kippa is, what a head cover means, what a cross signifies, and they become more familia...

From Istanbul To Abu Dhabi: The Never-Ending Echo of a Blessed B
From the birth of the first human until now millions of blessed births have echoed throughout the globe...Some have become lost among the four walls of their rooms, others have overcome the enormous towers of palaces. Whoever they are, a person's birth is a new beginning, yet every human has been injected with the seed of death. Most of the time the announcement of death from the minarets occ...

Sealed Time
Coaches presenting people with urgent prescriptions on how to live say, "We have neither the time nor opportunity to practice the trial and error method." Modern life opens living space only for individuals who endure the fast wheel of time and rise above standards. The success we gain today grows old tomorrow; no medallion or echo of applause remains the next day. A problem we solved y...

To Be An Growing Link In a Shrinking World
Impressions from ISNA During the Ramadan a fresh breeze blew through the city of Columbus. The arrival of thousands of Muslims who had settled in America, coming originally from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Somali, indeed, from every corner of the world, created this breeze. The Muslim presence, something that has existed for centuries, left a fruit in this city that was 45 years in the making. T...

How do you spend your time in front of the computer?
Years ago, we would have asked ourselves a different question, wouldn't we? How much time do you spend in front of the television? That "magic box" invaded our entire life, taking over the pleasant conversations of the family gathering, taking us on adventures, taking us to countries we had never been, introducing us to people we never met. With no shield to protect us, we learned n...

Wisdom as Wide as the Texas Sky
  "Everything's bigger in Texas."  That's what they say.  And when one gazes at the seemingly endless blue sky on a sunny spring day or when one hears the slow, deep rumbling of thunder in the distance and see the massive grey almost black clouds approaching just before a lightening-filled storm, it sure seems true enough.  And the churches, well some of them...

A Search for Christ's Essence
  As a child, December 25th came and went like every other day we were out of school.  It was nothing to us.  We didn't believe it was the day of Christ's birth much less a Holy Day because according to the verses in the Bible Jesus was born during the harvest season (not winter) and nothing in the Bible declared this day one that was to be kept as holy.  Furtherm...

A Simple Farewell
  Each day is about beginnings and endings.  With the soft light of the morning sun filtering through the curtains, we start our day.  Going about this and that here and there, we spend the light of the day until the setting of the sun.  If we take a moment through it all, we might inwardly appreciate the precious nature of a child or the delicacy of a colorful, fragrant ...

Aspiration for Truth
  How wonderful it is to observe the innocence of children.  Taking every word spoken as the truth, these little ones with bright eyes and immense hope are so full of trust.  Just as beautiful are the adults, their guiding examples, which honor that innocence and try to preserve it with the careful use of their tongues.  All too often, that innocence is not preserved.  Li...

Even Playing
It had been snowing for over a week already and only once did everything turn white for a little while. It was so lovely to see the flakes fall, sometimes in large fluffy clusters and other times as frozen beads, but we all longed to go out and play in it. And then, the fluff-filled wisps of wind started again. This time it was constant and cold enough to cover the cars, roof tops, and ground wi...
