No. 9 – SUMMER SALE Gas (the “Gas Tariff”) related to its Daily Delivery Service (“DDS”) Program. 25% OFF The Company has proposed to add a Baseload component to the DDS SUNGLASSES program for Gas Marketers serving Transportation customers under Service Classification No. 20. For the months of December, January and February during each winter season, Gas Marketers will be allocated shares of the Company’s baseload delivered supplies. The Gas Marketer’s Baseload Service quantity will be applied first to the Gas Marketer’s daily deliveries to its customers, before any quantities from Tiers 1, 2 or 3 of DDS are utilized and must be utilized in full by the Gas Marketer in each of the three peak winter months. The bundled commodity rate for the Baseload Service will be designed to recover the commodity cost plus a basis cost incurred by the Company for baseload supplies and will be billed directly to the Gas Marketer by the Company. The monthly rate will be published in the Company’s Statement of Balancing Service Charges. The Baseload Service has similar prepayment requirements as Tiers 2 and 3 of the DDS program for Marketers not participating in the Company’s Purchase of Receivables program. The filing, which is subject to Commission review and approval, is proposed to become effective on November 1, 2018. Complete copies of the filing are available for inspection at the office of the Commission, 90 Church Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10007, and at offices where applications for Con Edison service may be made.

  • 2 Race, Class, and Residence in the Chicago Ummah
    2 Race, Class, and Residence in the Chicago Ummah Ethnic Muslim Spaces and American Muslim Discourses The racial landscape of a city influences how close American Muslims have come to fulfilling the ummah ideals there. When I arrived in Chicago in the spring of 2002 to research Muslims in the city, two things stood out. One was the city’s diversity. Chicago was a nexus of global flows. Filled with people from all over the world—Bosnians, Mexicans, Nigerians, and Vietnamese—Chicago fit my idea of a global village. But alongside these global flows were major inequalities, particularly in the racially segregated housing, the second thing that stood out. Indeed, Chicago has always been known for its racist residential patterns and ethnic neighborhoods. “Germans settled on the North Side, Irish on the South Side, Jews on the West Side, Bohemians and Poles on the Near Southwest Side.”1 In the nineteenth century, European immigrants carved out ethnic lines across the city which, with the rise of black migration to Chicago in the 1920s, soon had viciously racist and economically devastating consequences. Fear and widespread propaganda created large-scale white resistance to African Americans. As whites maneuvered to keep blacks out of their neighborhoods and fled from the ones where blacks did settle, African Americans were confined to and concentrated in the South Side’s Black Belt. Business owners then moved from this expanding black area and invested their resources and profits elsewhere. As the community’s resources declined and the population grew, neighborhoods in the Black Belt steadily turned into overcrowded slums.2 Outside the South Side’s Black Belt, a flourishing metropolis took form, setting the stage for Chicago to become a major international city.

INTRODUCTION 1. Since 2002, the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”) has engaged in an unlawful policy and practice of religious profiling and suspicionless surveillance of Muslim New Yorkers. This policy and practice has a false and unconstitutional premise: that Muslim religious belief and practices are a basis for law enforcement scrutiny. 2. As documented extensively in the NYPD’s own records, its Intelligence Division has singled out Muslim religious and community leaders, mosques, organizations, businesses, and individuals for pervasive surveillance that is not visited upon the public at large or upon institutions or individuals belonging to any other religious faith. That surveillance has included the mapping of Muslim communities and their religious, educational, and social institutions and businesses in New York City (and beyond); deploying NYPD officers and informants to infiltrate mosques and monitor the conversations of congregants and religious leaders without any suspicion of wrongdoing; and conducting other forms of suspicionless surveillance of Muslim individuals, organizations, and institutions, including through the use of informants and monitoring of websites, blogs, and other online forums.

  • Muslims and American Politics
    Islam Muslims and American Politics Muslims and American Politics Summary: Muslims take different approaches to political involvement. Some Muslims resist political participation, proposing the separation of dar al-Islam (governance based on Islamic norms) and dar al-Kufr (non-Islamic governance or “the abode of unbelief”). Others started participating after strong anti-Muslim sentiments arose in America after September 11th, 2001. Many choose to participate in politics to debunk stereotypes, to fight against hate, and to promote social inclusion and civic engagement. On June 25, 1991, Imam Siraj Wahhaj was the first Muslim to offer the opening prayer of the U.S. House of Representatives. Eight months later, on February 6, 1992, Imam W. Deen Mohammed offered the opening prayer on the Floor of the U.S. Senate. On April 2, 1992, Imam Dawud Abdus Salaam and Imam Enrique Rasheed delivered invocations before the California Senate and Assembly, respectively. Imam Abdus Salaam prayed: “As people of faith, we pray with all people of faith, that the bond of trust be strengthened between those who govern and the governed. Bless this Senate, and all the branches of government, to work together in helping to raise the quality of life through all our cherished institutions . Make our intentions honorable and excellence the goal of all our strivings in building a better California and thus a better America for us all.” These historical events were but one indication of a new voice being heard in the American public square: the voice of American Muslims. That voice has become amplified after the events of September 11th, 2001, but not without hesitation.

  • Zero Mortgage Canada Letterhead Here
    2020 Imam Siraj Wahhaj contemplates buying a house in Canada with Zero Mortgage depending on the outcome of the US Elections. As the method of slaughtering an animal determines its Zabiha prestige, in the same way the nature of a financial transaction makes it Halal (trade) or Haraam (riba). Siraj Wahhaj, Imam of Al-Taqwa Mosque in New York and head of The Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA)in a recent Zero Mortgage Webinar1shared his intentions of acquiring a house in Canada depending on the oucomoe of the US Elections. He also shared a few pearls of wisdom on the importance of living a riba-free life and congratulated enterprises like Guidance Residential and Zero Mortgage on their endeavors to empower devoted Muslims with Diminishing Musharakah Home Financing programs. Key Quotes by the Imam: “Based on the US Election Results, if I move to Canada, the first thing I will do is to buy a house from Zero Mortgage,” he smilingly expressed. He reminded us the importance of seeking guidance of knowledgeable scholars before making decisions with lifelong repercussions by quoting a hadith, “Verily, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know." (Bukari/Muslim) Furthermore, Imam Siraj Wahhaj in the webinar shared the hadith: "Our sheikhs, who have studied Islamic financing, can make Muslims feel very comfortable. Buy a house from Zero Mortgage just like I have one from Guidance Residential in the US. I'm going to say a few words and I want everyone in Canada to be rest assured that you are doing the right thing that is Allah be pleased with you to get a house and do not rent,” Imam reiterated.
