    World Refugee Day is An Opportunity to Celebrate Inclusivity

    June 23, 2022 / 0 Comments

    World Refugee Day By Minhaj Hassan Lately, it seems hardly a day goes by where you don’t hear about refugees. Whether it’s the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, or other countries where instability has taken hold (Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Somalia, among others), forced displacement has become more common than anyone would like. It is a sad story whenever someone is forced to leave their homeland due to conditions or circumstances beyond their control.  Islamic Relief USA has long helped refugee populations and has especially stepped up the past year. After people from Afghanistan managed to reach the United States following the end of a decades-long war last August, IRUSA’s volunteers helped assemble…

    Sri Lanka On the Brink of Catastrophe

    June 23, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Economic Disaster and Humanitarian Crisis By Yusuf Azmi Sri Lanka is in the middle of the worst economic crisis in its history. Skyrocketing inflation rates, depleted foreign exchange reserves, and surging food prices are amongst the numerous issues causing the country’s economic state to spiral. The government has been forced to default on its loan payments for the first time, and months of widespread protests against their policies, which were largely peaceful, have started to turn violent in recent weeks resulting in eight fatalities and over 200 people wounded. Since emerging from a grueling 26-year civil war, Sri Lanka experienced an exponential rate of growth, in large part due to…

    The Spiritual Significance of Dhu al-Hijjah

    June 23, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Dhu al-Hijjah By Yusuf Azmi What do the start of Hajj, the sacrifice of Qurbani/Udhiyah, the celebration of Eid al-Adha, and the best 10 days of the year all have in common? They all occur during the first 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah.  During the twelth and final month of the Hijri calendar, the first 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah hold a special significance in the hearts of every Muslim. The importance of these days can be found in both Qur’an and Hadith. “By the dawn; by the ten nights” (al-Fajr 89:1-2) It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There are no days during…

    Working Towards a Brighter Future This Children’s Day

    June 15, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Children’s Day By Rubina Ali Children’s Day takes place on the second Sunday of June, celebrated this year on June 12. While different countries celebrate Children’s Day on different days, they all share one common theme: to uphold the rights of children. These rights, defined by the United Nations, include the rights to protection, education, healthcare, shelter, and good nutrition. Today, one in five children live in a conflict or war zone. Studies show children living in conflict zones are at the highest risk of experiencing violence, psychological stress, hunger, loss of education, and lack basic resources.  At Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA), we don’t just support children and orphans in…

    Islamic Relief USA-Supported Sewing Academy By Minhaj Hassan FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The Islamic Relief USA-supported Sewing Academy at Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center graduated its class of 12 women who enrolled in the academy’s spring semester.  The 17-week, 100-hour course started in February and concluded earlier this month. In addition to gaining useful and marketable skills in the creative design of fabrics, students said the classes helped them gain self-confidence and a sense of sisterhood, as they worked together and encouraged one another.  During the graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 7, Aseel Elborno, IRUSA’s advocacy campaign specialist, praised the women for completing the course. “It’s so important we empower women to have these skills, wherever they go.”…
