The story of Prophet Yusuf teaches us this:
hardship is often the doorway to wisdom, growth, and greater good.

Allah’s plan works in ways we don’t see—until later.

A UK teacher has been found guilty of professional misconduct after describing Islam as “satanic” and exposing pupils to extremist and inappropriate views in the classroom. Regulators said Patrick Lawler’s actions went beyond personal belief, amounting to Islamophobic attacks that risked harming students—especially Muslim children. The panel ruled his conduct brought the profession into disrepute and is now considering whether he should be permanently banned from teaching.

I didn’t know Arabic.
But the Quran still reached my heart.

This isn’t poetry.
This is divine speech.

Muslims in Bethpage, New York, have secured a landmark settlement allowing Masjid Al-Baqi to expand its mosque—ending a prolonged zoning battle widely seen as discriminatory. The case highlighted how local zoning laws are often used to block Muslim houses of worship across the U.S. Despite repeated denials, shifting regulations, and community opposition, the congregation persisted, ultimately winning a $3.95 million settlement and approval for a scaled-down expansion. For the community, the outcome affirms resilience, faith, and the right of Muslims to belong and worship freely in America.

There was a prominent figure that inspired me to convert to Islam: Jesus Christ.

I recognized the similarities and saw how the Quran states that Jesus and his teachings contain guidance, salvation, and Light.

After this realization, I declared the shahadah and became an “official” Muslim.

But it didn’t mean that I had to give up my beliefs.

I have always seen Christianity as a religion focused on God’s love.
Islam also focuses on the love of God/a relationship with Him, but it also has a strong aspect of law abiding, and ritual.

In short, it has the passion and love of Christianity and the law and ritual of Judaism.

These two are of course a fine combination if one wishes to know God and be obedient of His commandments.

Islam has indeed made me spiritually stronger than ever, and I thank God for inviting me to be a part of it.

Makkah has introduced a new child safety initiative for Umrah and Hajj pilgrims, issuing identification bracelets for children at the Grand Mosque. The bracelets contain guardians’ contact details, allowing staff to quickly reunite children with their families if they become separated. Available at select gates, the measure aims to enhance safety during peak pilgrimage seasons, offering reassurance to parents while supporting smoother crowd and emergency management.
