FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
By: Abdulsalam Al-Kassab, M.D.
This is the first issue of 2011. By the time you get this issue
in your hands, the long Michigan winter would have ended, (I
hope). With this issue, there are a few important changes that
have occurred both in the journal and in the Unity Center itself.
With regards, to the journal, we have a new managing editor,
Ms. Sarah Alfaham. We want to extend a farewell and a thank
you to our departing managing editor, Mrs. Anasie Tayyen, who
did a superb job over the past four years, taking the journal to
new heights and quality. We will still undoubtedly benefit from
her expertise.
With regards to the Unity Center and its changes, a new
Imam has joined our community. We want to take the time to
bid a farewell to our previous Imam, Sheikh Mohammed Musa
and thank him for the services he provided over the past years.
Our new imam is Sheikh Mohammed Almasmari, who joins us
from New York.
The theme of this issue revolves around the youth and
issues pertaining to them. This is an ever important theme.
You will read several articles dealing with a broad spectrum
of youth issues, from health issues to peer-pressure and you
will also have the chance to read about issues of parenting
and parenting techniques. This theme comes at a good time,
amidst the current uprisings and revolutions in the Middle East
led by youth and social media. Our prayers and thoughts are
with those who are struggling.
I wish you all a very happy year, and hope you will benefit
from the issue. As always, please continue to send us your
feedback and your comments.
WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK

Respected Community Members,
Asalamu Alaykum,
It gives me a great pleasure to inform you that steady
steps have been taken towards providing better
services to our community and especially our youth.
In coordination with Imam Mohamed Almasmari and
Dr. Mohammad Ramzi, we are planning our second
comprehensive Islamic education course this summer
that will be held from July 5- July 29. We are planning
to invite high caliber speakers to improve the coarse in
order to make it more attractive and enjoyable for our
youth. We are also taking steady steps to improve the
Saturday School and support the already successful
Sunday school. Most of you are probably aware that
the Unity Cafe is now open to give a safe haven for
our youth for them to gather and socialize after school
and during summer break. The cafeteria project in
itself will bring a steady income to the Unity Center
of more the $30,000 per year. Furthermore, the Unity
Daycare is open and licensed with around 15 students
at this time; it is predicted that the student number will
reach 25 in the next year. It is projected to bring an annual income of $30,000 or more all thanks to Allah and
our generous and dedicated community members.
Additionally, we will plan more social events to expand
and unite our community in face of current and future
challenges. Lastly, I have a humble request and wish:
please continue to support your center as you always
have financially, morally and through volunteering in
committees. The door is open to all who want to work
on serving and uniting this community for a better and
brighter future.
Special thanks for those who made it to the top
100-donor list.
May Allah accept from all of us.
Respectfully,
Mahmoud Al-Hadidi MD.
In the name of Allah, and salutation and Peace upon
the Messenger of Allah.

FROM THE PULPIT: Youth Lessons from the Past and Today
By: Sheikh Mohammed Almasmari
That is why our Prophet SAW affirms “I have been
supported by the youth”. And indeed Prophet SAW
was supported mostly by the youth. Examples are Ali
Bin Abi Talib, Talha Ibn Obaidullah, Zubair bin Awam,
Abdullah Ibn Abbas and many more.
Nevertheless, today’s youths are not responsible and have a lot of despair in their hearts and no
hope. The cure for this is to make our children aware
of their value and their real role, and the responsibility awaiting them. Remind the youth of how the youth
were at the time of Rasuululah SAW and Allah SWT
use them to spread Islam and support Rassulalah
SAW.
Today, an apparent example is what is happening in the Arab world. The events are termed
after the awakening of the youth, because they have
refused oppression. The educated young men stood
up and demanded stoppage for oppression and a
better opportunities and economy. Accordingly, systems that had been around for over thirty years have
been replaced. We should not undermine the role of
the youth; rather we should believe that they are the
present and future. We beseech Allah SWT to guide
Muslim youth towards what Allah SWT loves and is
pleased with.
UNITY CENTER EXTENDS SPECIAL WELCOMES
The Unity Center is pleased to welcome a new Board of Trustee member, Dr. Hadi
Akeel and two new Boards of Directors: Dr. Mazin Sabbaq and Dr. Mahmoud Alshami.
• Dr. Hadi Akeel, Ph.D, is a retired executive from General Motors and FANUC
Robotics America. He has experience in Academia teaching Mechanical Engineering
and in Industry as an R&D Engineer and a pioneer in Industrial Robots. Dr. Akeel is a
member of the National Academy of Engineering, an Expert Witness and Consultant in
Robotics”.
• Dr. Mazin Sabbaq is a physician who practices Pulmonary Medicine in our
community. He has been living here for the past 10 years and looks forward to serving
our community.”
“Come and bring your children”
My name is Mohammed Almasmari, the new
Imam of The Unity Center. It is my honor to serve the
community whom I consider to be my brothers and
sisters in this area. I have heard a great deal of goodness especially in terms of concern for the youth. I ask
Allah SWT to accept us in this effort and make us a
means of positive change to the community.
There are many questions raised frequently
regarding youth. What is the role of the youth? What
effort should they do at this time and age? Could
youth be a means of positive change?
In Surah Alkahf verse number 13, Allah SWT
Says “They were young men who believed in their lord
(Allah), and we increased them in guidance”, Allah
SWT is talking about the people of the Cave. They
were in a land that had a widespread of oppression
and corruption; as such they fled to protect their faith
to the Cave. Ibn Abbas RA read this verse and then
commented that Allah bestows his knowledge to a
servant at his youth, and that much goodness is in the
youth.
The Prophets Ibrahim and the Prophet Yahya,
AS were also mentioned in other sections of the
Quran, as God was portraying how they were both
given prophethood at young ages. Allah SWT has sent
them to change the humanity. Young people have a
strength and high tremendous energy.

AN AMERICAN MUSLIM IDENTITY: The Way I See It
“Come and bring your children”
By: Halim Naeem*
To come to the full potential of an American
Muslim identity, we need to have two components
to create a successful formula. Connectedness and
Contribution: if we look at all successful Islamic
societies and their different stages of development, we
will see these two components are common factors
that led to that success. That is, if Islam is going to
thrive in America, people are going to need to connect
and they will have to see how Islam makes for a better
America.
The first and most critical component of making
Islam thrive in America is the Connectedness. This
is defined as people seeing the good aspects of
themselves in you. They need not see it on an abstract
level, but it goes farther if they see the good in terms
of American values of good. Thus, psychologically,
they cannot separate positive American values from
Islam. This facilitates for Islam to permeate much
deeper into the minds and the culture of any group or
society. This is making the ground fertile for someone
to accept this as a way of life for them.
So your identity needs to be very much
American. This means one should embody the
positive aspects of American values in themselves
so that when an American Muslim displays that, it
is accepted and supported by the society at large.
If someone is struggling to find positive aspects of
this society, then that can be an indicator of a lack of
Connectedness with being American and thus failing
to develop an American Muslim identity.
There are values of trust, integrity, promptness,
hard work, family values, community empowerment
and many more things that are respected throughout
society. If one only sees a corrupt government,
alcoholism, sexual promiscuity, racism, oppression,
drug abuse, criminality, and so on, this can be
problematic. The objective is not to blindly neglect
these attributes and issues of our society, but to
address them though the positive aspects embedded
within the society. The positives are what we need to
build our identity upon.
Once the Connectedness is achieved, then the
next level is Contribution. One of the most valued
characteristics this society upholds is Contribution:
what are you giving to the people, what do you bring
to the table? Furthermore, what is the sincerity of that
giving? We talk about how Islam is the best thing for
America and many people say it will save America.
That is fine, but how will Islam save America? What is
going to happen? The predominate answers by some
4
Narrated by ‘Amr Ibn Shu’aib through his father and from his grandfather (May Allah be
pleased with them), saying that the Messenger of Allah said:
He is not of us, the one who does not have mercy on our young ones, and the one who does
not know the respect of our old ones. [Dawood & Tarmidhi]
AN AMERICAN MUSLIM IDENTITY (continued)
of the more vocal members of the Muslim community
address how it will take away things like alcohol, sex,
drugs, ‘partying’, and all types of other corruptions.
That is nice, but what will Islam Contribute? This is
where people get stumped most of the time because
there is not a clear picture of what Islam will bring to
replace some of the ailments of our society.
Contribution and your identity is what you
are going to bring to the table. It does not have
to be everything; it does not have to be a lot of
things, but just-something. It could be as simple as
optimism, support, intelligence, money, passion,
happiness, skills, knowledge, leadership, spirituality,
just something. So when you are able to connect
effectively with the larger population in an American
Muslim way (meaning how the Prophet S would do it if
he were American himself), then you have something
you can give to society no matter where you go,
you then have a nice vessel for Islamic knowledge
and tangible resources to function into a productive,
effective, and an intimately Connected Contributor of
American society with a solid American Muslim identity
(semantically speaking, American is the adjective to
describe the primary noun ‘Muslim’). May Allah make
us all connected contributors of our societies with a
strong American Muslim identity.

You can open as many open books as you can,
listen to CDs, and visit websites, but Subhanallah,
the knowledge just feels more real just being in the
presence of scholars. There is something to be gained
by actually sitting in that special audience; a student
of knowledge before a scholar. Seeing for yourself
how these scholars put the knowledge they teach into
practicality gives a message louder than anything you
would learn from a book or CD. You see how their
characteristics shine from the way they interact with
others, their patience, and their presentations.
Attending such blessed gatherings are so
enriching for the soul. Not only do you learn practical
knowledge for yourself, but you gain a bigger
appreciation for our scholars and teachers, and a love
for sacred knowledge. The nonverbal signals from the
scholars, with their gestures and facial expressions
capture your attention, and give you the nuances of
kindness, seriousness, emotions, and importance
of what they are teaching. You also feel the light of
knowledge fill the room, with everyone around you
trying to capture as much of this light as possible,
making them energized. You can feel this energy
emitting from the room, from the blessings of such
good company and enlightening knowledge.
I have always wanted to attend a full week
religious intensive in which I spend time among
luminary scholars and eager students, but having time
to attend such retreats can be a challenge when one
is busy with school, work, and other responsibilities.
However, this year was an opportunity not to be
missed.
Attending this past Reviving the Islamic Spirit
Knowledge Retreat was an illuminating experience
that cannot be accurately described into words. It was
an eye-opening experience, not only because of the
sacred knowledge being taught, but also because
of the spiritual environment from the presence of
the scholars and serious students. The theme of the
retreat was centered on the Prophet (peace be upon
him). Listening to lecture after lecture on the different
aspects of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) life and
the work of different scholars on his life, death, and
his legacy made me feel much closer to the Prophet
(peace be upon him). It made me realize that this
knowledge isn’t sufficient, that knowledge is lifelong
journey one must continue on, and never be satisfied
at any state until his/her own death.
Attending such retreats or intensives have
enormous positive impact on one’s mind and heart,
and taking time out of one’s busy schedule to attend
such events will have great rewards. Limiting oneself
to these retreats as the main source of knowledge is
not enough, however. One must follow up with the
knowledge they gain attending lectures with further
reading and discussions with teachers and scholars.
With the energy gained from attending blessed
gatherings, further knowledge gained from reading
and discussions, and with Allah’s (SWT) help and
support, one may reach a high level of knowledge and
understanding that will benefit him/herself and the
people around him/her.

PROMINENT YOUTH DURING THE PROPHET (S)’S TIME
“Come and bring your children”
By: Shan Ali Siddiqi*
We constantly hear from people who proclaim
that: “The youth are our future.” We need to go
beyond this empty promise for a distant future and
concentrate on a more accurate statement: “The
youth are our present.”
Many times when we think of some of
the blessed companions (Sahaba) of Prophet
Muhammad (Sallahu Alayhi wa Sallam), we only
picture mature and elderly people similar to the
uncles we see regularly at the masjid. But, if we
take a closer look at some of the major contributors
of the beautiful society that was around the Prophet
(S)’s time, they were surprisingly very young!
Take for example the number of the Sahaba
that accepted Islam before the age of 18. If you
think about it, accepting Islam at that time was no
easy task, as many were persecuted physically
and verbally because of its teachings. Yet, it was
at that time that so many young Sahaba were able
to do so without any regret or lack of conviction.
Ali (radi allahu anhu) accepted Islam at age 10,
Abdullah ibn Omar (RA) did so at age 13, and even
Asma (RA) daughter of Abu Bakr accepted Islam at
age 17! We think picking the right social circles to
hang out with in high school is difficult; the Sahaba
committed their lives to Islam against the harshest
of oppressors before the ages we typically graduate!
The Prophet (S) signified the importance of
youth when he instructed his companions to not kill
the youth of idolators in war. When asked why, He

(S) said: “Older people are not inclined to accept
Islam. The youth are closer to Islam than older
people.” (Ahmed). He (S) was so right! The youth
generally have more enthusiasm towards ideas and
concepts as opposed to elders and our beloved
Prophet (S) recognized this characteristic long ago
in this Hadith!

PROMINENT YOUTH (continued)
age of 9 began to stand up and defend her father
by removing the filth from his shoulders and firmly
standing up to Abu Jahal and the boys by lashing
out against them. There were even some Sahaba
there with the Prophet (S) who were powerless to do
anything yet, at 9 years old, it was Fatima (RA) who
risked her life against one of the most oppressive
and disrespectful people to the Prophet (S) because
she stood for her beliefs.
Our community will always and forever
be hinging on the enthusiasm of the youth,
the happiness they bring to people, and their
contribution to making a better Ummah for Muslims
all around. The present day youth can be just like
the young Sahaba who preceded them and who
prevailed over their hardships with the help of Allmighty Allah (swt).

“Come and bring your children”
We should dissolve the thinking that
our youth are too inexperienced or immature to
accomplish anything. If given the right resources,
guidance, and encouragement, our youth can
produce the next Abdullah ibn Masood (RA), who
spent so much time during his youth memorizing
and learning about the Qur’an that he was
considered the go to person when an issue of
the Qur’an was debated. He was so learned and
gifted in his youth that the Prophet (S) mentioned
in a Hadith: “Learn the Qur’an from four people:
Abdullah ibn Masood, Salim Maula Abi Huzaifah,
Ubayy Ibn Kaab and Muaz Ibn Jabal (RA).” One
could only imagine receiving props from Prophet
Muhammad (S) at such an early age!
It is in the youth where we can find many
acts of courage and bravery. For at times, they
have no fear in situations that would overwhelm
others. Fatima (RA) risked her life when Abu Jahal
(the Prophet (S)’s uncle) and other boys began
throwing the insides of dead animals upon the
Prophet (S) during prayer. Fatima (RA) at a mere

LOSING OUR CHILDREN TO A DIGITAL WORLD
By: Loubna Alkhayat-Hatahet*
“Come and bring your children”
I have to admit that I feel the pressure every time my
kids request an electronic game, cell phone, I pod, etc.
“Ok Mama, when can I have a cell phone?” my eleven
year-old asked me while we were having a relaxing lunch
in the mall. “Honey, call me in three years” I answered with
a smile. I know and they know how my husband and I feel
about our kids’ access to electronics at such an early age.
8
Across from us, another mother and son were having
lunch, but for 15 minutes the mother was on the phone,
while her son was texting. I looked at my son who started
gazing at them, “What do you think?” I asked him, “Well”
he said with a grin ” I think this mother is very nice that she
got her son a cell phone”, “you are not getting a cell phone
honey”, I smiled back. “I know Mom, I was kidding, there
is something wrong with this picture, they are not talking,
they are not even looking at each other”. I was touched
that my son does get the point, at the same time; I was
troubled by the thought that this scene is really common.
More and More surveys are showing that the time
we (adults and children) spend plugged in is rapidly
increasing, from internet surfing, texting, talking on the
phone, playing video games, and watching television,
we are wired up most of the day. These surveys suggest
that as we are spending more time plugged in, we are
drifting away from direct face-to-face social interaction
and connection, which is related to more depression and
social isolation. A national survey by the Kaiser Family
Foundation found that the amount of time young people
spend with entertainment media has risen dramatically.
Today, 8-18 year-olds devote in a typical day, an average
of 7 hours and 38 minutes to entertainment media, second
only to sleep in time spent (www.kff.org).
What does that mean? Plugged-in time is reducing
our children’s face-to-face time with us. At stake: the
strength of our bond with our children, strong family
interactions, and the development of empathy. Child
experts and parents alike are now realizing that one of the
biggest dangers for the Net Generation may well be the
diminishing parent-child relationship.
Research confirms that the more time kids spend
plugged-in the more likely there are to report a lower
attachment to parents or difficulty forming that crucial
relationship or emotional bond (Michelle Borba, Ed.D)
However, we should ask ourselves, are we setting
good role models for our children? Are we trying to
strengthen this relationship and create the emotional
bond with our children? How many times our kids try to
approach us with a story or concern or to share a problem,
and we fail to connect with them by being plugged-in
ourselves, asking them to wait while we finish our tasks.
In the New York Times bestseller “Social Intelligence”,
author Daniel Goleman explains the I-It, I-You interaction.
When we don’t give our children our full attention because
we are engaged in multi tasking – they receive a miniscule
amount of attention. The lack of attention will make them
feel disconnected from us. That’s what’s called the I-it
interaction. In contrast, when we give our children our
undivided attention and show interest in their feelings,
connection is established.
We need to keep in mind that the strength of their
relationship with their parents is the most powerful source
of psychological and spiritual impact. For that there are
no shortcuts or computer programs: it is only achieved
by applying that timeless, unplugged, good parenting
strategy of quality face-to-face communication with our
kids. One-on one communication enhances the parentchild relationship; boosts communication and allows
parents to model those essential interpersonal social and
emotional skills our digital kids need.
For all that, creating more time for our kids is crucial.
Experts suggest many ways to help us create this time.
• Reorganize your life: squeeze your schedule into
your family life, rather than your family into your schedule.
Make sure that you give each child individualized
attention. Talk to your child; find out how he’s doing. Make
yourself responsible for having a finger on his pulse and
be accessible, even when you’re busy.
• Spending time doesn’t mean you have to do
anything special. All it means is that you give your
interest and attention. Above all, check yourself before
you use candy, money, toys or trips to make up for being

defense to assuage a sense of guilt.

so, you’ll be giving them the most valuable thing you own.

HEALTH CORNER: Hookah: Modern Trends, Hidden Threats
By: Dr. Mazen Sabbaq*
The hookah has been used for centuries,
particularly across regions of North Africa, the Middle
East and Asia, as a means of smoking tobacco. It is
essentially a water pipe, and many believe the water
helps filter out the toxins from the tobacco. Some
historians believe the myth of the healthy hookah
started more than 500 years ago, when an Indian
physician offered the idea, essentially, as a means of
boosting sales for his new device. Despite its alluring,
fruity aroma, the truth is, smoking the hookah is no
safer than smoking cigarettes: The tobacco is no less
toxic in a hookah pipe, and the water in the hookah
does not filter out the toxic ingredients in the tobacco
smoke.
According to the Centers for Disease Control,
...the truth is, smoking the
hookah is no safer than smoking
cigarettes.
hookah use carries many of the same risks as cigarette
smoking including: exposure to high levels of toxic
compounds, increased risk of oral, esophageal and
lung cancers, reduced lung function and decreased
fertility. In fact the World Health Organization estimates
the typical one-hour session of hookah smoking
exposes a person to almost 200 times the volume of
smoke inhaled from a single cigarette. And sharing the
hookah puts smokers at greater risk for transmission
of diseases including tuberculosis and viruses like
herpes and hepatitis. And yes, secondhand smoke
from hookahs poses an equally serious risk to nonsmokers.
Our religion teaches us not to harm ourselves.
So if we smoke in whatever manner, we are definitely
harming ourselves and disobeying our God and profit
{And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and
goes beyond his limits, He will cause him to enter fire to
abide in it, and he shall have an abasing chastisement}

I never saw anyone who was more compassionate towards children than Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). His son Ibrahim was in
the care of a wet nurse in the hills around Madinah. He would go there, and
we would go with him, and he would enter the house, pick up his son and
kiss him, then come back. (Muslim)
“Come and bring your children”
It has been well established that nicotine can
be very addictive. As a result, major public health
campaigns were launched to decrease incidence
of smoking. These campaigns ignored one form of
smoking which is conceived by users as less harmful:
this form is called hookah in the US and narghile or
sheesha in the Middle East.
Unfortunately hookah smoking has becoming
a more prevalent and increasingly acceptable habit
in our youth. As a pulmonary specialist I have seen
many patients who can barely walk few steps without
being short of breath because of their smoking-related
lung damage. They need oxygen even to do simplest
activities such as going to the bathroom. Contrary to
what is thought, many of these patients are relatively
young, and their lung disease have devastated their
future. If you have asthma, smoking will guarantee you
inability to achieve adequate control with persistent
symptoms of shortness of breath, cough and wheezing
even with the use of every kind of medications.

THE BEAUTY BENEATH THE HIJAB
“Come and bring your children”
By: Hiba Alkassab*
For a Muslim woman who chooses to wear hijab, the
typical questions are always expected. “What is that thing
on your head?” “We live in the 21st century, why are you
still wearing that?” “Aren’t you hot in that thing?”
My question is: what makes millions of hijabis respond
with a smile and an even stronger will to wear it? What
is it that gives women who wear hijab an inner strength
that allows them to overcome any negative comments or
opposition they encounter? Why does a young woman
choose to cover her hair and body on a hot summer day
when everyone around her covers so little of their bodies?
Every girl who wears hijab may have a slightly
different answer because there maybe a different aspect
of hijab that she finds attractive. But despite these subtle
differences, all women who wear hijab ultimately wear it for
one reason—to seek Allah’s (SWT) pleasure by fulfilling
an obligation. Therefore, wearing the hijab is a symbol of
a Muslim woman’s connection with, and love for her Lord,
Allah (SWT).
Many people who have misunderstandings
surrounding hijab believe that hijab is a symbol of
oppression, because, they argue, it limits a girl’s ability to
express her beauty. What they fail to realize is that there
is something uniquely and deeply beautiful about the hijab,
but one can only appreciate it if they look beyond the
surface.
If we look at the ayahs discussing hijab, we can see
that the ayahs themselves reflect that beauty. Firstly, it is
a significant point to mention that the main ayahs dealing
with modesty and hijab (24:31-32) were placed in Surat
Al-Noor, translated as “The Light”, and is also one of
Allah’s Beautiful Names. One of the things this indicates
is that hijab has an inherent connection to Allah’s name
Al-Noor. The even more amazing thing is that the ayahs
discussing hijab come directly before the beautiful ayah
describing Allah’s characteristic of being the Light of the
Heavens and the Earth (24:35), further emphasizing the
connection between hijab and Allah’s Noor. The amazing
thing about this connection is that Allah’s Noor (or Light)
is an inherent part of His Beauty. Therefore, by dressing
modestly and wearing the hijab, a Muslim woman chooses
to cover her worldly, physical beauty, in favor of revealing
and connecting to a deeper and more wondrous Beauty.
It is truly amazing how Merciful Allah is in this regard;
subhanAllah Allah (SWT) never makes His servants give
up something without compensating with something better
and more amazing in return.
There is something special about being connected
to Allah’s (SWT) Light; and it’s something outsiders find
quite intriguing. In a world where people who hold true to
their values are few and far between, wearing hijab makes
a strong statement about taking a stand and holding fast
to values of modesty, purity, and dignity. Choosing to take
that stand demands nothing less than respect and drives
people to approach you in a professional, dignified manner.
Therefore, Muslim women all over the world who
wear the hijab should be proud of having this unique honor
and should step up to the plate to prove they are worthy of
this distinction. We must also put forth the effort required to
maintain that beautiful connection with our Lord and reflect
that Beauty to whoever we come into contact with so that
the world can look beyond the surface and see the true,
deeper beauty beneath the hijab.

YOUTH CORNER: A Comparison of Freedom Fighters Then and Now
By: Tamer El-Gamal*
The “Civil Rights” are the rights of individuals to
receive equal treatment and to be free from unfair
treatment or “Discrimination”. Historically in the
United States, the “Civil Rights Movement” referred
to efforts toward achieving true equality for AfricanAmericans in all facets of society. Today around the
world the term “Civil Rights” is used to describe the
advancement of equality for all people regardless of
race, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, or
certain other characteristics.
*Tamer is a six grader in West Hills middle school.
boston.com - Lefteris Pitarakis/Associated Press
Through the history of the United States, there
were many civil rights advocates that were involved
in bringing equality to the African American people.
Edgar Daniel Nixon was one of the active civil rights
leaders. He was born on July 12, 1899, to Wesley M.
Nixon and Sue Ann Chappell Nixon in Montgomery,
Alabama.
In 1940 he organized a group of 750 men
who marched to the Montgomery county courthouse
to register to vote. In 1954 he ran for a seat on the
county Democratic executive committee. In 1956
he described the Montgomery Bus Boycott to an
audience of supporters in New York City’s Madison
Square Garden. In 1960 he worked as the recreation
director of a public housing project. He, along with
white supporters Clifford and Virginia Durr, bailed
Rosa Parks out of jail after a family friend called to tell
him she had been arrested. Nixon believed Parks was
the ideal candidate to challenge the discriminatory
seating policy. After speaking with her family, Parks
agreed. He then died in Montgomery on February
25th 1987 at the Baptist hospital.
I would compare Edgar Daniel Nixon to Wael
Ghonaim who had just influenced the civil rights by
becoming The Facebook Freedom Fighter in Egypt
in 2011, a current civil right issue. Wael Ghonaim an
Egyptian Google executive, who started a peaceful
protest on Facebook. E.D. Nixon and Wael Ghonaim

both fought for freedom but Wael Ghonaim fought for
the Egyptians and E.D. Nixon fought for the African
Americans/Segregation. They also had different
means of spreading their cause. Wael Ghonaim used
Facebok to bring 350,000 people for a cause (Civil
Rights/Democracy), while Nixon spread his views by
giving a speech in front of over 17,000 people in the
Madison Square Garden in New York. Amazing what
technology can help us accomplish.
The person who sparked E.D. Nixon was Rosa
Parks and what sparked Wael Ghonaim was Khalid
Said who was a man who posted a video of cops
pilfering pot from a drug bust, was assaulted at an
internet Café by local police. They dragged him
outside and beat him to death in broad daylight. This
is what sparked Wael Ghonaim. The result of E.D.
Nixon was that Rosa Parks was freed. The results
of Wael Ghonaim were that millions of Egyptians
went to the streets of Cairo and protested until Hosni
Mubarak resigned from office. Democracy is still at
work.

HIJAB: A Celebrity’s Experience
By: Dr. Rouzana Hares
“Come and bring your children”
Picture this, a young, popular, and rising female
actor. I’m guessing the hijab was never in that thought.
Hannan Turk visited the Unity Center in January
and told her story of Hijab. Her ordeal was amazing and
her struggle to wear the hijab was nothing but ordinary.
In recent years, I have noticed that the hijab has
made it to the Arabic televised media but only handful
of those experiences was positive ones. Some of the
earliest characters were casted as the “suppressed,
naïve uneducated poor women”, while the girl without
the hijab was a stark polar opposite. She was beautiful,
had a vibrant character and was always placed as the
protagonist that we all loved and adored. I bring this
up because while Hannan was sharing her story, this
same idea was eluded to countless times.
Hanan admitted that the people around her were
not only against hijab but some of them lobbied hard to
ban it and to ultimately make those who wear it have a
socially lower status.
To any actor this would prove that wearing the

hijab was nothing short of suicide, career-wise. But
then, she wondered and asked the question “What are
the outcomes of wearing hijab in the afterlife? Was it
so drastic as Hell and Heaven? Or just difference in
the levels of rewards?” (ie higher levels of heaven)
Hannan; “If it is about better rewards I am fine with the
least available”
Before I share the explanation she received, allow
me take a moment to think about that concept that I
am continuously contemplating. Why is that when it
comes to our day to day things or Dunia [worldy life],
we always seek out the best even if is not within our
ability or our reach; but for the afterlife or Akhira we
tend to settle for the least available? This is something
that truly does boggle the mind and should always be
questioned throughout our lives.
The sheikh responded to Hanan in an a direct
manner saying “God asked the Muslim women to obey
by hijab or khimar in Surat AL Nour.”
The first ayah of this Sura is as follows, “A Sura
which We have send down and which we have enjoined
its laws: And in it have We revealed Clear signs, so that
you may remember and receive warnings”. It can be
interpreted as God explicitly telling us to pay attention
to this, this would be on the final test, or judgment day.
We will be asked about everything in that Sura. The
Sura convinced Hannan that hijab was a fard for the
muslim women and that she had to obey by it, and she
goes on detailing all the emotions and the events that
lead her into that decisive moment.
Hannan went into details about her feelings
and the emotions that were raging inside her after
she announced her decision to wear the hijab. She
described the media reaction, and the support she
The Sura convinced Hannan that

and that she had to obey by it...
received from her family, friends and coworkers.
When Hannan described the positive support she
thanked God and referred to their actions as gift from
God to strengthen her position. And when she spoke
about the offensive reactions she said it was a test from
God, and she thanked God for giving her the strength
and the diligence to deal with it. The big factor here
is that throughout her struggle she had good will and
intentions, leading her to have peace at the end.
After Hannan accepted herself and was happy
The Prophet said, “(It happens that) I start the prayer intending to prolong
it, but on hearing the cries of a child, I shorten the prayer because I know
that the cries of the child will incite its mother’s passions.” (Al-Bukhari)

with her new image, she stepped up in her role and
realized that she has a lot to do. She decided to take
on a bigger task and vowed to represent Muslim women
the right way. She provided the Arabic viewer what was
once considered impossible, a Muslimah first, mother
second, and an actor third. She shared with the world
the truth and the positive images of Islam.
The most important lessons of her story were in
her conclusion, “One can only find true happiness after
he or she are true to their creator” and “True harmony
and happiness can only reflects what is inside of us and
success would follow In Sha Allah.”

In today’s world, Facebook has become a major
part of society. People use it to get together with
friends, invite people to get-togethers, and organize
major meetings and events such as camps and
seminars. However, while there are many positive uses
for Facebook, it also opens up a whole new world of
dangers, especially to Muslims growing up in a western
society. From online dating, to poor influences, to bad
side affects, Facebook is littered with dangers to the
soul.
The real question, here, is: does the good
outweigh the bad or vise versa? And by how much?
Some people venture to call Facebook haraam; some
consider it a positive thing that can be used to enhance
the Muslim community. In fact, however, a lot of it
comes down to personal choice.
Many events, such as Muslim youth camps,
seminars, and even just Eid parties, have been organized
over Facebook. Probably just about any Muslim youth
who owns a Facebook account has gotten an invitation
to some Muslim event or been called to help with some
charity, Muslim or non-Muslim. Those who have gone
to Muslim youth camps have noticed a trend over the
past few years, an increase in attendance. Organizers
attribute much of this attendance to the ability to
communicate with more people over Facebook. They
also admit that it makes it much easier to coordinate
with other organizers working on the same project over
Facebook.
Most youth, Muslim and non-Muslim, who own a
Facebook probably use it daily to keep in touch with
friends and family who are out of the country and to
arrange for them and their friends to get together. It’s
easier to talk to someone if you don’t have to get a hold
of them in person, and it makes it easier to talk to a
group of people if you don’t have to call each of them
individually. In short, a twenty minute job of organizing
a movie night might take only five minutes.
The question is: what do you do with those extra
ten minutes? Here’s where the danger comes in. Usually
the answer is, check Facebook some more. Look at
my friends’ walls. Especially now that most youth can
access Facebook from their cell phones, it becomes
a compulsive habit to check their Facebook page at
Anas Bin Malik (RadiAllaahu anhu) narrates: “There were seventy youth from
among the Ansar, who were called Qurra (reciters), who used to remain in the
masjid. When evening approached, they retreated to a corner in Medinah, where
they learnt, taught each other and prayed. Their families were under the impression that they were in the Masjid and the people of the Masjid were under
the impression that they were with their families, until the crack of dawn. They
brought fresh water and gathered firewood which they presented at the room of
Nabi sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.’’ (Narrated by Ahmad).

least once and hour and whenever they have spare
time. Think about how much time people spend on
Facebook instead of doing something else, something
more productive. According to the Neilson Company
says that the average person visits Facebook 55 times
in one month in 2010, that’s basically twice a day on
the average day, and it’s only increased since then. Do
people really need to check their Facebook twice in one
day? Instead, as Muslim youth, we should be using that
extra fifteen minutes to get to know our religion a little
better or somehow helping society.
The second, more severe danger of Facebook is
what all you see and do on Facebook. Even if you do
not post haraam pictures, most people have friends
who might, knowingly or not. Then there are the
advertisements that line the side. What someone sees
and does affect how that person thinks, and eventually
has some impact on how they act. We become
desensitized to what is around us.
Then there is how you talk to people on Facebook.
People feel safe behind the computer screen and they
feel like their conversations are only half way ‘real,’ so
they are less cautious. The truth is that online dating,
flirting, and other things are real and just as serious. In

truth it’s more serious, because
both parties are unchecked
and more relaxed.
Facebook, to put it very
simply, is not good or bad. It
is merely a tool, and it is up
to each individual youth on
how to use it. There need
to be clear rules set and
precautions must be made,
it is why Facebook has filters
and blocks, but it also is a
powerful tool that should be used to its full potential.
In Egypt, people used Facebook to help take down an
oppressive dictator; what could be a nobler cause, but
all too often, Facebook’s potential is abused, and it is
used for harm intentionally or not.

PARENTING WITH A VISION
By: Rana Khalaf
Parents hope that they are doing a good job raising
their children. However, we have to first ask ourselves
some questions. What would we like our legacy to
be? How would we like our children to describe us? A
more difficult question; How would our children actually
describe us?
Yet we are scared of the challenges facing us
in the 21st century, we feel that the gap between us
and our children is getting wider, blame it on internet,
Facebook, twitter, language, schools, or culture….etc.
But no matter what that reason may be, the reality is
that our legacy depends totally on how our children see
us and how effective we have been in communicating
our hopes and love to them despite all the challenges!
What would we like our children to say about
us? Maybe, just maybe, it is better for us to answer
this question ourselves! To do this, let us go back in
time and relive those first days of our married lives.
Did we, back then, sit together as husband and wife
and discuss our vision for our family? Did we write our
mission statement? How did we envision our selves
in our parenting roles? What would our priorities be?
What would be our goals?
Another fast forward, a peek in the future, our
children have grown and they are harvesting what we
had planned within them. As we live the future, it is a
luxury to use hindsight, for hind sight is always 20/20!
Did we stay on task as parents, focused on our mission,
achieving our vision, building our children’s faith and
future by the beliefs we value and the values we live?
What would our children say about us? For most
of us, we would love our children to proudly say: we
are the pious offspring whom our parents have left on
this earth to pray for them! For they have raised us to
be well rounded, faithful, practicing and compassionate
Muslim citizens of this earth!
The more difficult question we may need to answer
will therefore be: How can we achieve this?

hills around Madinah. He would go there, and we would go with him, and he would enter
the house, pick up his son and kiss him, then come back. (Muslim)
“Come and bring your children”
Now, fast forward and live in the present, are
we practicing what we laid as blue prints back then?
Are our dreams and hopes matching our end goals?
Are we practicing what we are preaching? And are we
evaluating our progress and adjusting our parenting
styles to suit the changes that are happening in real
life? Are we listening to our children’s needs? Are we
empowering them and allowing them to fall in order to
stand stronger? Are we facing the reality we are living
in or are we hiding our heads in the sand hoping that
those challenges will just go away without touching our
lives?

FREEDOM FIGHTERS’ MESSAGE
“Come and bring your children”
By: Nour Soubani*
For once, the status updates on Facebook
consisted of something other than the trivial recordings
of what everyone did that day. Melancholy song lyrics
and comical Youtube videos were replaced with
important news. Day after day, my Facebook newsfeed
was teeming with prayers for the people of Egypt. ReTweets from reporters on the ground in the Middle East,
as well as pledges of solidarity with the Arab world.
The revolution bug has washed up on the shores
of America and bitten one population in particular: the
youth. The recent turmoil in the Middle East—Egypt,
Tunisia, Libya—has become contagious; everyone
wants their voice to be heard in the cry for justice and
freedom and basic human rights. It has landed in the
lap of a young generation, mainly because it came from
a young generation—albeit one half a world away.
“The Class of 2011”—as Time Magazine names
the protesters fighting for their liberty—has provided
hope for the entire world—the oppressed and the
privileged and the activists alike. Their appeal comes
from the fact that they do not belong to any single group
or label; these freedom-fighters are a handiwork of men
and women from all different economic statuses, all
different educational levels, all different family lineages.
Perhaps the only thing they have in common is their
conviction in integrity, and their faith in the power of a
purpose.
And so, they send us a message. We—the youth
in this community—are undeniably lucky; we attend
college, find jobs, make a living, and have families. But
with all this fortune given to us by Allah, what do we
do? How do we use our privilege to benefit this world
and elicit the change it needs? There are so many
wars to fight: poverty, racism, violence, ignorance,
oppression; the list is endless. Following the example
of our brothers and sisters in the Middle East, it is our
duty to choose a cause and support it—and not solely
with money—but with our mind. The world of activism
can never be too full; every individual has something
to offer in the never-ending process of improving the
quality of life for all people.
The protesters in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen,
Bahrain, have given us more than a topic to follow
on Twitter and Facebook. They have given us the
strength—and the responsibility—to band together as
a generation and start making the changes we want to
see. We can take strength and movement as a lesson.
Individually, we have talents, ideas, passion, and
energy. Together, we have a voice.
