Dakota Michigan In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful ﷺ with peace and blessings upon His final Messenger Muhammad Assalaamualaikum-Warahmathullahi-Wabarakathuhu, My name is Jameel Syed, also known as the Muaddhin and I am the first person in the history of the world to have called the adhan along with the ﷺ khutabathul Widah, the last sermon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad across all 50 states in America within a record span of 35 days. During my trip, i’ve had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to meet literally thousands of people from all sorts of different backgrounds, communities and to collect their stories. I’ve had a chance to travel to some of the most interesting spaces within the Muslim American sector while sampling some of the most delicious foods across America. I’ve fostered a legacy that I can be proud to pass down to our future generations. With the help of community educators, parents, students and scholars, i’ve developed two practical and affordable programs for institutions to be able to offer their students, the highlights of which are below: A culmination of everything that transpired before, during and after my 35 day trip. This is my deliverable to the community at large. A chance for people to see what I saw and experience what i’ve experienced during the course of my journey. It’ll be an interactive and visual keynote presentation that will open 50 windows into 50 communities, showcasing hundreds of pictures and short clips that will tell the tale of a Muslim Americans’ dream come true. I’ll tell you about how I engaged the press and headlined the media across the nation and across the globe, giving them something positive to talk about for a change on the subject matter of America, Muslims and Islam. My journey boasts a spectrum of delights ranging from Alaska to Hawaii or Harry Potter world in Orlando to Disneyland in Anaheim. Great mosques associated with celebrity personalities and humble localities that embody the true spirit of what community should be. We’ve got people from different faiths that I engaged at airports, hotels and theme parks. Moments of enlightenment, acceptance, moments of unity. I’ve got story’s to tell and experiences to share, the likes of which you would never believe. This isn’t your run of the mill presentation. We’ve added an interactive component with audience participation and a chance to win prizes throughout the event. We want to get you educated, inspired and we want to keep you engaged. I’ll be showcasing various samples of Adhan, Qira’, Naat and Nasheed so the audience gets a feel for what was shared with Muslim America. This isn’t just fun for the whole family, this is fun for everybody! So whether you’re an avid traveller, community activist or simply looking for a spiritual awakening, I guarantee you, this is one presentation that you do not want to miss. Be a part of Muslim American history as it unfolds right before your eyes. Be a part of the 50 Mosque Man tour!

  • Attack on Nasheed and the Rising Tide of Radicalisation in the Maldives
    MP-IDSA Issue Brief Attack on Nasheed and the Rising Tide of Radicalisation in the Maldives Adil Rasheed May 20, 2021 Summary The attack on former Maldivian president and current parliamentary speaker Mohammad Nasheed on May 6, 2021 has led to speculation that the assassination bid was planned either by Islamist extremists or his political opponents. The Brief examines key aspects of the country's tenuous social and political fabric and situates the problem of radicalisation in a historical as well as the contemporary context. In closing, it proposes a few measures India may consider taking to help Maldives strengthen its political stability and security. ATTACK ON NASHEED AND THE RISING TIDE OF RADICALISATION IN THE MALDIVES At 8:39 pm on May 6, 2021, just before the COVID night-time curfew was to come into effect in Male, an IED blast struck the former President of Maldives and current Speaker of the Majlis (parliament), Mohammad Nasheed. The explosion also injured four other people accompanying him, including a British national. Reports noted that the home-made explosive device, packed with ball bearings to cause maximum damage, was planted on a motorbike parked near Nasheed's car.1 In the initial hours after the attack, the 53-year-old Nasheed was in a ‘critical condition’ and underwent multiple surgeries to his head, chest, abdomen and limbs.2 Thankfully, Anni, as he is affectionately called, recovered quickly and has now been flown to Germany for further treatment. In a tweet, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar wished him a speedy recovery and said that Nasheed can “never be intimidated.”3 Political Rivals, ISIS, or Islamists? The Maldivian police termed the attack a “deliberate act of terror”, although no terrorist group has so far taken responsibility.

  • Finding a Voice: Young Muslims, Music and Religious Change in Britain ______
    Finding a Voice: Young Muslims, Music and Religious Change in Britain ___________________________________________________________________________ Carl Morris On a warm Sunday afternoon, in early September 2011, large crowds are strolling around the grounds of a 19th century non-conformist higher education college in Manchester. As the autumnal sunshine and leafy gardens are enjoyed by all, to the rear of the college, in an old peaked chapel that juts from the back of the bricked building, a man, dressed in a dark, buttoned-up suit and tie, moves across a small stage with microphone in hand. Smiling broadly as he scatters flowers to a swaying crowd, the man sings into the microphone. Supported by pre-recorded backing harmonies and percussion emitted from a temporary sound system, he gently unfolds lyrics praising Allah and the beauty of creation, attempting to evoke notions of love and compassion. This is the 2011 Eid Festival, at the British Muslim Heritage Centre, and the performer, Khaleel Muhammad, has travelled from London to perform a selection of English-language nasheeds (religious songs) for those at the celebration. He is just one of several celebrity performers that are here to contribute to the nasheed concert, while outside Muslim families enjoy the food stalls, the activity tents and the small funfair. In many respects, this celebration and similar events across the country are part of an emergent Islamic entertainment culture – a culture that incorporates music as a central, distinctive but rather ambiguous practice. The event was typical of its kind: organised by a Muslim civil society and staffed by young Muslim volunteers in jeans and t-shirts, it aimed to combine a religious celebration with the gaiety of a wholesome and popularised entertainment culture.

    Fizzy Drinks and Sufi Music: Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan By Zainub Beg A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies. December 2020, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Zainub Beg, 2020 Approved: Dr. Syed Adnan Hussain Supervisor Approved: Dr. Reem Meshal Examiner Approved: Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti Reader Date: December 21, 2020 1 Fizzy Drinks and Sufi Music: Abida Parveen in Coke Studio Pakistan by Zainub Beg Abstract Abida Parveen, often referred to as the Queen of Sufi music, is one of the only female qawwals in a male-dominated genre. This thesis will explore her performances for Coke Studio Pakistan through the lens of gender theory. I seek to examine Parveen’s blurring of gender, Sufism’s disruptive nature, and how Coke Studio plays into the two. I think through the categories of Islam, Sufism, Pakistan, and their relationship to each other to lead into my analysis on Parveen’s disruption in each category. I argue that Parveen holds a unique position in Pakistan and Sufism that cannot be explained in binary terms.

  • Musical Criminology: a Comparative Analysis of Jihadist Nasheeds And
    JEMEAA - FEATURE Musical Criminology A Comparative Analysis of Jihadist Nasheeds and Narco Corridos DR. HAYAT ALVI ihadists have their nasheeds, and the Islamic State (IS) became popular for its nasheed compositions used in propaganda videos. Nasheed is an a cappella song praising the Prophet Muhammad and reciting Quranic verses glorifying Jjihad. Similarly, drug cartels have bands that compose and sing narco corridos, or “drug ballads,” based on Mexican folk music, which glorify cartel leaders as modern- day “Robin Hood” figures and announce executions of enemies. Both nasheeds and narco corridos have much in common: glorifying historical victories over enemies in wars and revolutions; using lyrics to warn their enemies about their invincibility and strength and bravery; calling out specific enemies as targets; and using their respective ideologies to justify their acts, behaviors, and beliefs. This study examines and comparatively analyzes the two musical genres in the context of terrorism and narco-terrorism, and how these musical traditions affect their respective followers, admirers, and devotees. The analysis also highlights how these musical genres popularize crime and violence, and desensitize audiences to the extreme brutality praised and glorified in their songs. There are some contextual distinctions that separate the two genres as well, and these entail part of the comparative analysis. The use of social media in both contexts is an essential tool to popularize nasheeds and narco corridos; they use YouTube videos, Twitter and Facebook, and other Internet resources to spread their music and messages. In particular, Western democracies provide freedom of expression, which further facilitates the proliferation of nasheeds and narco cor- ridos.

  • ICLI 2020 Calendar
    Islamic Center of Long Island Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam: I hope and pray that this year brings you and your families abundant blessings and mercy from Allah (swt) and that you may stay in the best state of Iman (faith) and health. We all are familiar with the most famous proverbs “Time is money” and “Time is Gold”. Time has great importance in the life of a human being. Humanity has always been anxious with time, the passage of time, the measurement of time, and the scientific qualities of time. Time is a blessing on all of us. We should concentrate on how we use time ac- cording to our Islamic perspective. Allah Almighty has clearly stated the value of time in the Quran. We should make the use of time wisely to increase our faith in this life and the hereafter too. Our beloved Prophet (SAW) said about time in a Hadith: “There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) health and free time for doing good” (Bukhari). From this saying, we can conclude that we should utilize our time for doing good deeds for the sake of Almighty Allah’s plea- sure. We order our lives around time and in Islam lives are structured around the daily prayers. We should offer prayers on time which are obligatory on every Muslim. In Islam, believers are encouraged to be certain of time, to know its importance and to organize it intelligently. If human beings do not waste or abuse time, but rather think of it as a bless- ing from Allah (swt), then they have every reason to hope for success both in this life and in the hereafter.
