Reminds me of the painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. She is a Muslim Chinese food vendor in Xian China
Continuation of my Fashionable Fit & Fabulous Event Coverage Photo Shoot. The models all lined up to walk the runway! The models were modeling Arab Muslim clothing lines and head scarf styles. The concept was that you can do anything with your scarfs and look beautiful and at the same time be trendy with outfits and accessories. The women represented being vibrant, bold and fashionable.

For those who don't know what the scarf on the head is for Muslims it is called a "HIjaab". Here is a link where you can learn more about it: www.islamswomen.com/hijab/hijab_suppression_or_liberation... or visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab

For me, Faith is like the roof over my head that protects me from the storms of sin, shields me from the devil within and when I look up, it helps me stay sane in these insane times.
Today marks the birthday of Islam's Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The man whose life is an example for mankind interms of justice, forgivness, humility, honesty and several traits of his Sunnah that his followers have failed to emulate in true spirit. Islam today is held hostage by its own followers ~ their misguided passions and lack of patience.
Mawlid un Nabi Mabrouk to Muslims around the world! Offering the salutation (Durood) for our beloved Prophet Sayyiduna Muhammad Ar-Rasul-Allah Sal' Allahu alaihi wa Sallim fills us all with peace.
اللهم صلي على محمد و على آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم و على أل إبراهيم ا نك حميد مجيد
اللهم بارك على محمد و على آل محمد كما بار كت على إبراهيم و على أل إبراهيم ا نك حميد مجيد
Also wanted to share this beautiful Burdah :)

I wish all of us peace and better understaning of and respect for eachothers' beliefs and culture.
“I am in love with every church
And mosque
And temple
And any kind of shrine
Because I know it is there
That people say the different names
Of the One God.”
Hafiz.

Highland Park is a city within the city limits of Detroit proper. In addition to being home to Henry Ford's first assembly plant (now defunct and abandoned), it is also home to a sizable, mostly African-American, Sunni Muslim community.
I was inducted into that community when my family converted to Sunni Islam when I was around 8-years-old.
Qasim was associated with the community in Highland Park. He is also the director of Mooz-Lem: The Movie - a locally-filmed movie that is still in development . It features Danny Glover, Nia Long and quite a few other impressively notable Hollywood cast members.
Its good to see a member of my old Ummah doing his thing. Neither of us could remember if we knew each other growing up. We do both know a young man named Kareem. I happened to bump into Kareem and Qasim a couple of weeks back and they were gracious enough to let me make a couple of frames of them (Kareem, you're next).
That said, I'm no longer a member of the Highland Park Islamic community. In fact, I've removed myself from the larger intellectual community of religious believers altogether.
I've always had a distrinct aversion to fanticiful thinking - no matter how reassuring and comforting. When I was in 1st grade, before my family converted to islam, a classmate opened a bag of chips, crushed them in his hand, turned toward me, started to wiggle his backside and sing an impromptu schoolyard nursery rhyme/taunt:
"I've got more! I've got more!..."
I remember calmly looking at him, shaking my head and saying,
"No you don't. They are just in smaller peices..."
He broke into tears and tried to fight me.
Sorry, kiddo. But the facts are facts.
Though I was devout through my high school years (at Highland Park High School, I'd stop in the middle of Mr. Wojinowski's Chem class to make the afternoon iteration of the 5 daily prayers required of Muslims), the religious explanations for how reality worked became exponentially less convincing with each passing year; and with each passing grade in biology, geology, and history.
The religious explanation simply did not accord with the facts. As much comfort, solace, and certitude my religious faith had provided me in trying circumstances, I found myself increasing unable to abide them.
Sorry, kiddo. But the facts are the facts.
By my second year of college I was more or less bereft of all superstitious belief.
I'm not sure what the tone of Qasim's finished movie will be. It's my understanding that the main character has a crisis of faith.
If nothing else, I hope that his movie will encourage people to take another look at their bag of potato chips.

Girona, Spain. This is in the Banys Arabs (Arab Baths) and Arab Castle area near the old city walls. Girona was the northernmost extent of Muslim rule in Spain (near the French border) and was shortlived. The Arab Baths are said to be 13th century work of Muslim craftsmen. I took this photo last autumn. This is my first foray into HDRish treatment! Kinda looks OK:-)
Dedicated to my good friend Kelvin (AKA "Pisces Romance") who is always a great support and encouragement. Thanks, pal:-)
As the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, the International Mission Board is launching a website and study guide to encourage believers to reach out in love to Muslim neighbors.
In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The merciful
1. When there comes the help of Allah and victory,
2. And you see people entering Allah's religion in multitudes,
3. Then celebrate the praise of your Lord and seek His forgiveness, (for) surely He is Oft-returning (to mercy).
Rahman ve rahîm olan Allah'ın adıyla.
[1-3] Allah'ın yardımı ve zaferi gelip de insanların bölük bölük Allah'ın dinine girmekte olduklarını gördüğün vakit Rabbine hamdederek O'nu tesbih et ve O'ndan mağfiret dile. Çünkü O, tevbeleri çok kabul edendir.
Brothers from different walks of life tell us what they love most about their wives – may Allah reward them with good!
“What I love about my wife”
How would life be without my wife?
The emptiness,
the strife,
Would all be rife
I care not to think of that plight amiss
So much I love ’bout her, too long is the list.
Her faith in her Lord and her pure and dear heart
Tis the reason I married her, but that’s just the start
Beauty pervades her, in every way and thought
These are blessings so countless … can never be bought
Her smile, her gentle face, the sparkle in her eyes
When our kids are causing havoc, logic defies
So hard-working, striving to make her family content
Yearning foremost to make her Lord happy
Reasons enough for a singler’s lament
Desire and doing in her life is her worth
Allaah upon us Your Mercy shower,
And increase our blessed state
And Your Mercy enshroud her when she’s raised from this earth
So when you asked us to write “what you love about your wife”
That blessings so countless, I dare not think of life
And after so many years our love still gets stronger
Allaah I cannot thank you enough for all that you have given me
Just allow me to be with her in Jannah
And make our bond stronger.
Ameen

What do I love about my Muslim wife?
Everything. My wife is the closet partner and friend I’ve ever had. She is the ‘backbone’ of our household. After a very long day at work, it is very comforting to come home and just be with my wife (& the screaming kids). She is my ‘treasure box’ and the ONLY key is with me, alhamdulillah. The most satisfying thing to hear from my wife is to hear how much she loves me, which builds further the bond between us.
Should I be allowed to re-run this life again, surely this would be the one thing I would not change.

What I love about my Muslim wife is her ability to adapt to different
situations and surroundings. It’s not easy for women who marry and move away
from home, having to start all over again, leaving behind their family and
friends….its something us men take for granted!
Imran
“My wife, masha Allah, loves to learn about Islam and takes time out of her busy schedule to read authentic Islamic books on issues of Tawheed, ‘Aqeedah, Islamic manners etc… My wife does her best to implement Islam in our family life and does not just practise Islam when it is easy to but also when it gets difficult alhumdulillah. She is very patient with me when I am angry in trying to calm me down and does not leave me until she has found a way to please me. She is playful and likes to joke around once in a while and lightens the mood when life gets stressful. My wife is very particular about the house and works very hard to keep it as clean as possible, masha Allah. I find her to be a very good mother attentive and loving to her kids’ needs as well as in disciplining them when it is needed. She is careful to thank me for every good that I do (i.e. provide money for groceries and needs, take her out on a date etc) – she has even expressed guilt at forgetting to say thank you to me after she bought groceries!
Abu Taimyyah, Age 37, United States
Allah is so Merciful and Gracious that if I tried to count the blessing that my Lord has bestowed upon me I would not be able to do, I just might lose my fingers! And one of those blessing is my wife. All praise is for Allah and no one else. In His infinite wisdom he gave me a prize, a jewel, the blessing of a righteous wife, masha Allah. She has this unconditional love that is tremendous and beautiful, Allahu akbar! We have six children and this August, insha Allah, it will be eleven years that we have been married and the only thing I would trade her for is Jannah. I love my wife ‘big much’. I ask Allah to keep us together until He calls us back to him, ameen. I ask Allah to bless those Muslim marriages out there with love and goodness from His Rahma, ameen.
Amir Abu Hudhayfah Ali-Dorsey, East Orange NJ, Masjid Rahmah
Her patience – especially with me
Her support – when others would have given up
Her understanding
Her wisdom
Her strength
Her kindness
And I thank Allah that we are together and may He keep us that way.
