Reflections
Dr Fariha Khan, London The end of the year is always about reflection on the year gone and about making resolutions, promises and plans for the coming year. This is a time honoured tradition and pretty much universal. As we are drawing to the end of 2020 we can pretty much say that this year has been the most significant year of our lifetime. … Read More Reflections
The Years Don’t Matter
Yusra Dahri, Tilford A global pandemic has broken global morale. Loved ones have been lost, education has been disrupted, and societal fabric has unravelled. Mental health – let’s agree that if we didn’t need help before, we need it now. For many of us, prayer is the only thing we have left. We have been watching a car crash in slow motion, and there … Read More The Years Don’t Matter
‘It’s Just a Handshake’
Nida Mansoor, London As I stared out of the window overlooking the high street, sipping my coffee, a common gesture between a professional looking gentleman and lady who were observing social distance, caught my introspective eye. The gentleman incautiously reached out his hand to the lady upon which she raised her brows and politely declined reminding him of her right to refrain from physical … Read More ‘It’s Just a Handshake’
Ponds Cannot Lie: Looking for Truths in 2020
Iffat Mirza, Cambridge ‘Generate hope. Be ever hopeful. This also fosters self – respect. Continue to be optimistic.’ (His Holiness Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him). ‘The Way of the Seekers’ p. 104) Looking back on 2020 is like looking at your reflection in a rippling pond in the dark of the night yet still expecting to find a mirror-perfect … Read More Ponds Cannot Lie: Looking for Truths in 2020
Khilafat on the Precepts of Prophethood
Maleeha Mansur, Hayes I would like to ask the Muslim world, do you love the Prince of Peace, the Mercy for the whole of mankind, our Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? Do you trust his word? Surely, you must have firm conviction in the truth of the revelation he brought, the Holy Qur’an? If you do, then why, … Read More Khilafat on the Precepts of Prophethood

The True Caliphate
Iffat Mirza, London Sadly for many years now it’s not often we see the Muslim world united. There’s plenty for it to disagree on, whether it’s as seemingly trivial as the moon-sightings before the festival of Eid, or issues of larger consequence, such as the political alliances of the Middle East. Yet there’s always one bone of contention that seems to unite all sects … Read More The True Caliphate
2020: A Year of Growth and Learning
Wajeeha Rana, Slough The year 2020 has been an eventful one, and the effects of the pandemic have been felt at all levels of society. This was one experience that the most privileged found no money could buy them a way out of. We may have found that our health and that of our loved ones was above all else. We were forced to … Read More 2020: A Year of Growth and Learning
2020: The Year of Perfect Vision
Munazzah Chou, Farnham 20/20 vision is a way of saying a person can see perfectly. The events of this year have certainly allowed me to see some things more clearly. The average person is said to think over 6000 thoughts a day, but through much of 2020, I imagine that many of us may have had even more. Some of my random thoughts follow. … Read More 2020: The Year of Perfect Vision
A Sense of Déjà vu
Aqeela Shanzay Zaffar, Glasgow 2020 has been a very shocking year for us all. Out of the blue, the Coronavirus pandemic gripped the world, millions of people got infected and sadly thousands passed away. This brought a drastic change in people’s lives, filled with financial losses, serious health complications and loss of loved ones. To combat the spread, several nations went into lockdown more … Read More A Sense of Déjà vu
2020 – When Will it End? For it Certainly Will
Maleeha Mansur, Hayes If I were to describe 2020 with the words, ‘unity, success and hope’, one would think I was writing this in 2019, for I cannot have lived through 2020 with such descriptors in mind. 2020 has become synonymous with Covid-19. It has certainly changed humanity in ways one could never have imagined. It has been a stark reminder of human vulnerability. … Read More 2020 – When Will it End? For it Certainly Will
2020:A Didactic Year of Self-Reflection
Fateha Khawaja, Tilford I remember the countdown to the last New Year. It was the first in my new house and I was excited about offering Tahajjud, pre-dawn Prayers – voluntary Prayers that Muslims particularly try and offer when welcoming the New Year, to set a precedent of being much more mindful of their Prayers. Waking up early, offering your Prayers, seeing your friends … Read More 2020:A Didactic Year of Self-Reflection
