    Islamic Relief Celebrates Diversity and Inclusivity at US Capitol Iftar

    May 24, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Back In Person By Minhaj Hassan Islamic Relief USA held an in-person iftar on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, April 26, as Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, wound down to its final week. While staffers from several offices of Congress were treated to delectable finger foods and an opportunity to network with peers, the event inadvertently showed the progress made in getting more young people from minority populations to work in the Nation’s Capitol, which over the years hasn’t exactly served as a hallmark of diversity.  Jihad Saleh Williams, IRUSA’s longtime Senior Government Relations Adviser, said from his own time in and around the Capitol, he has seen the number of…

    Climate Change, Conflict, and Catastrophic Famine: How Global Events Are Affecting Families Across the Horn of Africa and How the IR Community is Helping

    May 24, 2022 / 0 Comments

    By Yusuf Azimi The Horn of Africa is once again on the verge of a catastrophic famine, with fears that the worst drought the region has faced in decades could be set to continue. Which, according to the World Food Program (WFP), has up to 20 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, and South Sudan at risk of famine.  Recent rainfall has been sparse and all signs point to a below average rainy season once again in the region, which would mean that for the past four years an adequate rainy season has not materialized, plunging the region into its worst drought in decades. With COVID-19 and the war in…

    2 Thoughts on Finding a Hajj State of Mind

    July 25, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Wrapped in Love A house with solid pillars holds firm, can survive the worst storms, and keeps the people that live inside safe. So too is the beauty of the five pillars of Islam: with the adoption of each pillar, another layer of security wraps around the heart. When the intentions of Hajj are made and Allah allows a believer to place their feet upon the pilgrimage, fulfilling that pillar forever changes the heart of the one who is blessed to go. As the 2019 Hajj season approaches, the words of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ring loudly and true: “Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit any obscenity or transgression will…

    June 3, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Nafs Hack: Maintaining Your Happiness Assalamu alaikum. My name is Fatimah Aulaqi, and this is your Ramadan Nafs Hack. Many of the viewers know that this is my eighth year living with multiple sclerosis. It’s an autoimmune disease that attacks your central nervous system. What keeps me going every day is Allah (SWT) and my tawakkul. I keep my whole trust in Allah (SWT) knowing he gave me this chronic illness for a reason. I always go by this verse in the Qur’an, ‘Allah (SWT) does not put burden on a soul more than they can bear.’ I know that Allah (SWT) has given me this illness for a reason,…

    Ramadan Reflections: Day 28 Nafs Hack with Syed M. Hassan

    June 2, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Nafs Hack: Getting Through Dense Islamic Texts Salaam alaikum, everyone! This is Syed M. Hassan from Islamic Relief USA’s Public Affairs Department. For today’s Nafs Hack, I wanted to talk to you about the importance of incorporating Islamic teachings and Islamic advice, especially the ones you get from reading and studying Islamic texts. A lot of Islamic texts tend to be very voluminous, very large, but they’re chock-full of information. To give you an example, last year I read two books: Forty Hadiths and Nahjul Balagha, the famous sayings and famous teachings of Imam Ali. And both of these books were great, I enjoyed reading them a lot, and I…

    Ramadan Reflections: Day 27 Nafs Hack with Suhaib Webb

    June 1, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Nafs Hack: Discipline Your Nafs Salaam alaikum wa rahmutallah. My name is Suhaib, and this is my Nafs Hack. You know in order to discipline the nafs, you’ve got to take away something that it likes—something it finds value in. One of the scholars said the nafs is like an infant. If you just let it breastfeed, it will continue. But if you ween it, you will discipline it. So here’s something that I do that I would encourage you to think about doing, and that is any day that you miss fajr or any of the prayers—but fajr particularly—don’t post anything on social media. Your nafs will go crazy.…

    Nafs Hack: Don’t Waste Time Assalamu alaikum! This is Walid Hamadeh, and this is my Nafs Hack. So, have you ever felt pressured with your day-to-day tasks? Have you ever felt like there’s just so much piling up and you don’t know what to do? Do you ever wake up in the morning and think, ‘Oh man, I have so many things to do’, and you don’t know where to start and you end up not doing anything? Well, it happens to all of us. It happens to me especially. I think the problem is we have really poor time management. Essentially, we like to waste a lot of time.…

My Nafs Hack for you all today is about the power of dua’a and personalizing your dua’a. We all know Ramadan is a special time for worship and ibada. We fast, we pray, we read the Qur’an.

    Ramadan Reflections: Day 24 Nafs Hack with Ahmed Aduib

    May 29, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Nafs Hack: Be Positive A Nafs Hack that I try to abide by and follow every day is I try to remind myself to always think positive. If I wake up in the morning and I’m having a bad day and there’s a lot of things on my mind, I basically just talk to myself on my ride to work or on my commute anywhere throughout the day. I just remind myself on all the good things that I have in life—the family that’s around me, the friends that are around me. I try to remind myself of the good things that I have. If I just constantly think of…

    Ramadan Reflections: Day 23 Nafs Hack with Sami Shaban

    Nafs Hack: Evaluating Goals in Ramadan Salaam wa alaikum! My name is Sami Shaban, and here’s my Nafs Hack. Often times throughout the year, I find that I get caught up in the daily grind. Going from work to family to other really important things, but things that might not be on point for the goals that I’ve set out for myself. I like to use Ramadan as a point of reflection—a spiritual checkpoint, where I get to look back at the past year and see where I may be hitting the ball out of the park or coming up short, or maybe even adding a goal that I didn’t…
