    “A Muslim can be Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Egyptian by birth, British by nationality and at the same time be an obedient son, a loving father, a loyal husband and a helpful neighbour. One can be all this at the same time, with no contradictions. The contradictions only exist in someone else’s mind…”

    “Here we walk around the geographical centre of Islam, the Kaaba, centre of our Islamic universe. Our tawaaf symbolises effort, action, in a constant, circular motion, centred round a fixed and immovable idea of Unity: Tawheed.

  5. Beware of Cultural Imperialism

    • 30 July 2009 • 0 comment

    Deliberately or naively, cultural imperialism turns people from the colonies into mirror-images of their masters: They become little brown Englishmen, and little brown Europeans.

  8. Culture and Islam This is an audio khutbah

    • 30 May 2009 • 2 comments

    Sadly, many children grow up developing a strong resentment towards Islam, because their parents impose intolerable burdens on them, cultural burdens, in the name of Islam. Some examples are: the oppression of women, denying girls the right to education, genital mutilation i.e. female circumcision, forced marriages and so-called ‘honour’ killings.
