The truth about being a single Muslim mother
Thu, Apr 05, 2012
The issue of single Muslim mothers is fast becoming a prevalent one; with divorce on the rise it seems only logical that some of these statistics would also apply to Muslim households. Why then are they not revered as they deserve to be and instead looked down upon and scorned by many communities?

Tue, Jan 31, 2012

A long time ago, a city by the name of Mecca formed near the old Ka'bah. A long time ago, the son grew up with the Arabs and married one of them. Now, we know this as the story of Ibrahim (as), his wife Hajar (as) and their son Ismaeel (as).
