Salaam threads fam! 🤍 We are launching a new campaign to introduce members of the Muslim community, and this week we are featuring Kei McHale!

I am a convert to Islam. After a few years of research and reflection, I took Shahada in 2019 after reading the opening lines of Surah TaHa: “We have not revealed the Qur’an to you (O Prophet) to cause you distress, but only as a reminder to those in awe (of Allah). A revelation from Him who created the Earth and the high heavens, the Most Merciful (who is) above the throne established.”

Since my conversion, I’ve reflected on these verses often. Practicing Islam in the West- especially keeping up the prayer- can feel difficult, burdensome, even. Whenever I find myself struggling with some aspect of my worship, I’ve found it helpful to remind myself that when God commands us in the Qur’an to pray, fast, or give alms, it’s not to make our lives hard. Islam is a beautiful gift to humanity from our Creator- a perfected guide to life and a straight path leading to Paradise.

Jummah Mubarak, hope you all have a safe & blessed Friday! 🤍

Abu Sa`id A-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Whoever reads surat Al-Kahf on the night of Friday, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (i.e., the Ka`bah).” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)

Masjid: Masjid al-Aqsa located in the Old City of Jerusalem

Jummah Mubarak, hope you all have a safe & blessed Friday!

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) talked about Jummah (Friday) and said: “There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely meet his demand” (Sahih Al-Bukhari: 935).
