How is climate change impacting our world?

What connects American Muslims to the global climate crisis?

How can our communities act to achieve climate justice?

Join Qahwa Cafe and Interfaith Power and Light DMV for Muslim Climate Conversations.  We’ll hear from Nazish Qureshi of Muslim Climate Watch and (myself) Kori Majeed of Green Ramadan, climate justice leaders active in the DMV and beyond and explore how we might come together as a Muslim Climate Collective to speak out locally for a livable and just future for all.

An evening of conversation, community, and coffee as we come together to address one of the most pressing issues of our time. Together, we can make a difference.

This bubu was too beautiful not to wear again. It radiates sunshine and summer flowers.

Plus, good memories are attached to this fit. The first time I wore it was about a year ago when my eldest completed her first memorization of the Quran in Medina Baye (Kaolack), Senegal.

Eid Mubarak, y’all

May Allah allow us to see Dhul-Hijjah again and invite us to His blessed house.

Wherever I am, I try to seek Allah’s signs

Wherever I am, I try to seek Allah’s signs, or at least be open to receiving them.

Yesterday, I was in an IHOP parking lot picking up a daughter when I saw the hilal for Dhul-Hijjah.

Each sign is an opportunity for submission to the Creator of the sign. It’s not about my wants or my convenience, but rather, it’s about loving surrender to Allah’s decree.

This is one of the reasons I love sighting the moon.

“We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?” (Surah Fussilat 41:53)
