Muslims and the Making of America
Author: Amir Hussain
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781481306225
Category : RELIGION
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
There has never been an America without Muslims--so begins Amir Hussain, one of the most important scholars and teachers of Islam in America. Hussain, who is himself an American Muslim, contends that Muslims played an essential role in the creation and cultivation of the United States. Memories of 9/11 and the rise of global terrorism fuel concerns about American Muslims. The fear of American Muslims in part stems from the stereotype that all followers of Islam are violent extremists who want to overturn the American way of life. Inherent to this stereotype is the popular misconception that Islam is a new religion to America. In Muslims and the Making of America Hussain directly addresses both of these stereotypes. Far from undermining America, Islam and American Muslims have been, and continue to be, important threads in the fabric of American life. Hussain chronicles the history of Islam in America to underscore the valuable cultural influence of Muslims on American life. He then rivets attention on music, sports, and culture as key areas in which Muslims have shaped and transformed American identity. America, Hussain concludes, would not exist as it does today without the essential contributions made by its Muslim citizens. --J. Ryan Parker "The Midwest Book Review"

Book Description
When was the last time we really poured our feelings out to Allah? **** We have been taught that the only time we can communicate with Allah is when we are making du’a to Him. Even then, it comes with a set of restrictive rules that puts a ‘barrier’ between Allah and us. The things we recite are verses that we were told to memorise, but rarely do we truly talk to Allah about the troubles that are weighing down our hearts. Because it feels awkward. Thus when we are down and sad, we seek other means for comforting ourselves, but often they offer only temporary respite. We forget that true comfort lies only with Allah. **** In this book, author Ayesha Syahira takes you on a journey of spiritual discovery; of reconnecting with Allah wholeheartedly. The author focuses on nurturing the lifestyle of talking to Allah; of finding comfort by making du’a to Him at any time of the day.

Trials and Tribulations
Author: Y. A. Shahiid
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781980221890
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
In general, whether we are Muslim, Christian, or Jew; believer or non-believer; religious or a sinner, we can clearly notice that "Life" has its "ups and downs" ...its "valleys and peaks" ...its "difficulties and ease". It seems that we can be smiling in one moment, and then crying in the next. Or we can be living a life of ease and comfort, and then shortly thereafter we are living a life of difficulty and hardship. In many cases, whenever we experience a down slide in our living, or financial, situation, or we experience an unfortunate set of circumstances, we ask the question, sometimes at the top of our lungs, "Why?! ...Why is this happening to me?!" This book answers the question "Why?", and gives us a new perspective on "how" and "why" we go through certain trials and tribulations in life.
