The Journey Onwards and Upwards
Arfa Yassir, Swindon There is a constant chant for rights of women and their empowerment on various platforms. For some the chant is just for the sake of it, and some genuinely believe empowerment can improve health, reduce poverty and inequality. Islam claims to empower women in the true sense, but the popular perception is otherwise. Many think Islam limits progress and opportunities for … Read More The Journey Onwards and Upwards

Lajna Ima’illah: Serving Islam and Humanity
Iffat Mirza, Raynes Park Generally, I try to be quite an optimistic person. I’m not necessarily the kind of person to blindly insist the glass is half-full but I will certainly search for justifications to make the case. But I have to admit, lately it’s been a little harder to be optimistic. News headlines of inflation, energy crises, war in Ukraine, and other facets … Read More Lajna Ima’illah: Serving Islam and Humanity

Salvation, Spiritual Well-Being and The Domestic Ecosystem
Arfa Yassir, Swindon Salvation may be described as the state of balance and harmony of our spiritual being. Since our spiritual beings transcend the boundaries of this life, such harmony is carried to the afterlife, as well. Islam teaches this state can be achieved, or the process can start at least, in this life. Spiritual well-being is directly related to our ability to love … Read More Salvation, Spiritual Well-Being and The Domestic Ecosystem

Khilafat – Guiding Us Closer To Light
Kholood Munir Tahir, London There is a specific lesson to be learnt in the experience of being out at sea, surrounded by cold, salty water in all directions, as one floats with the current and as waves sway one around. One learns how it feels not to be in control and given one split second of carelessness the ease with which one can get … Read More Khilafat – Guiding Us Closer To Light
A Perspective of Loyalty to One’s Nation
Maria Ahmad Tooba, London ‘Love of one’s country is a part of faith’ (1). The Islamic teachings of loving one’s homeland are clear and precise. It is man’s natural tendency to fall in love with the place where he is born, where he grows up and where he spends the most of his life. It is this emotion that connects us to the soil … Read More A Perspective of Loyalty to One’s Nation
A Walk in the Park
Mahrukh Arif-Tayyeb, Newcastle The past few weeks have been so pleasant for anyone living in the UK. Being from the north of the country means we hardly get to enjoy a full sunny day at nearby beaches – even during summer. One day, I decided to take my little one to the park: it was sunny with bit of fresh air pleasantly caressing our … Read More A Walk in the Park
Hijab and the French ‘Separatism Bill’
Kholood Tahir, Morden The latest in France’s long-standing history of issues against Muslim Women, has been the voting on the “Separatism Bill” which bans girls under the age of 18 from wearing a hijab in public places. Ironically, under the guise of protecting and liberating young Muslim girls from Islam, which itself teaches, the bill takes away bodily autonomy, free will and the right … Read More Hijab and the French ‘Separatism Bill’

Justice in the Digital Economy
Basima Ahmad, Southfields, London Now more than ever it has become apparent how much we rely on the internet to navigate smoothly through our current society. During this pandemic so many aspects of our lives have been moved online: education, jobs, applications, and even social interactions have all had to make their way into a digital space, even more so than before. However, it … Read More Justice in the Digital Economy
The Role of the Individual
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn The social order in human society, though man-made, aims to guarantee all individuals their due rights and liberties. But it is organised in a way that it confines the same individuals to certain limits, often through the means of law, to create a world where discipline is maintained. Moreover, to help societies and nations prosper, individuals have a role to facilitate … Read More The Role of the Individual

Misled by the Mainstream
Nadia Ghauri, Bournemouth The narratives informing our views on the world are produced and perpetuated by media outlets, books, TV programmes, even our education system. It’s often the case that we unthinkingly embrace these viewpoints. However, we need to take a step back and adopt a more critical lens. Mainstream narratives frequently use language which divides, rather than unifies, society. Refugees, for example, are … Read More Misled by the Mainstream
Consumerism: Our Well-being and Mental Health
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn The announcement of the latest iPhone arriving in market undeniably attracts attention from people across the world. Some rush to stores to buy them in person and some pre-order them to have them delivered as soon as they are released. To think of it, we do not need a new phone every two years. Even if we do not all … Read More Consumerism: Our Well-being and Mental Health
