Khilafat – Our Peace and Guidance
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn In a time of great unease in the world, fear and a degree of pessimism could easily take over one’s mind, making them worry for the future. At that point, it is very human to want to look for support, security, and comfort. For believers in God, that peace and that solace is to be sought from God Almighty. Fervent prayers … Read More Khilafat – Our Peace and Guidance
What It Meant To Be Insignificant
Iffat Mirza, Cambridge This last Ramadan I had invited some old school friends to break our fast together and have dinner. As we discussed our plans for the rest of the year, events that we had looked forward to for months, tickets bought a year ago, or celebrations coming up, one issue kept coming up: ‘I don’t feel right about it…how can I be … Read More What It Meant To Be Insignificant

Close the Gates of Destruction
Amna Shakoor, New Malden “Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.” – 2nd century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. As Israel continues its strikes on Gaza we have also had the first Ahmadi martyrdom in Gaza, of Sheikh Abu Sardana.

The Dichotomy of Power
Rameen Masood, Leicester Power. An interesting abstract noun. Derived from the Latin word ‘potere’, it means ‘to be able’ or ‘to have the ability’. Well, this means everyone holds power. But there’s a distinction between the types of power. In today’s world, power takes on dual roles— one that serves as an intoxicating poison fuelling conflict and another that empowers individuals to defy injustice. … Read More The Dichotomy of Power
The Silence Echoes
Bareera Ghaffar, Birmingham “My Lord, open out for me my breast, and ease for me my task, and loose the knot of my tongue, that they may understand my speech” – Surah Taha verse 26-29. The last few weeks I have found myself pondering on this verse in a different way than I had been for most of my life. This is the beauty … Read More The Silence Echoes
#VoicesForPeace: More Than Just a Hashtag
Arfa Yassir, Swindon These are difficult times, when you switch on the news or check social media, the reality that you see is heartbreaking. The agony of the Palestinian people after Israel’s attack is horrific. One just wonders if watching it through news, images and videos is so painful, how do those people, who are actually in the situation, feel? We cannot even begin … Read More #VoicesForPeace: More Than Just a Hashtag
Our Voices Must Not Stop
Sameea Jonnud, Aldershot Christmas is approaching and here in the UK the shops are full of festive colours, gift ideas and party food. Houses have been decorated for days with twinkling lights and inflatable snowmen. On the television we can see the Covid inquiry which has been investigating the top politicians’ behaviour and choices during the pandemic. A quite normal start to December by … Read More Our Voices Must Not Stop
What I Feared Most
Danila Jonnud, Hampshire When I was young and innocent – well, younger – I remember crying many nights. I was 12 years old, and for the first time, I had learnt in very graphic detail that humans could be really and truly awful. It’s not that I didn’t know already that bad people existed in the world, and that good people could sometimes do … Read More What I Feared Most

The Blood of Children
Sameea Jonnud, Aldershot ‘Thou shalt not kill’; whatever background or religion we belong to or whichever country we come from, the taking of a life is a most terrible crime. That crime is even worse when children, innocent and helpless, are the victims, because of course, what kind of person would take the life of a child? I’ve dwelled on this thought a lot … Read More The Blood of Children
