New Literature for a New Era

  Letter to a Convert Dr. Pasha Your email was forwarded to me. Forgive me if this occurred without your knowledge and consent. And I have now taken the liberty of writing to you without your permission. For, Islam is nothing if not consent with awareness, knowledge and information. It is the travel from darkness […]

  Malja’a Man Laa Malj’a Lahu! Dr. Pasha Of course, that is Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta’alaa. He is the recourse of those without any recourse. Allah is Malja’a Man Laa Malja’a Lahu! That means Allah is the Refuge of those without a refuge! Of those without any place to go to. And those without anyone to turn to. And Allah […]

  Allah’s Immortal, Unbreakable Rope in our Frail, Mortal Hands Dr. Pasha Humans’ quest for the Divine is a timeless one. And often, human beings want something physical and tangible before which to bow down — and worship. That has been, for the most part, the history of worship in this world: idols; statues; images; icons of […]

This Thing about Du’a Dr. Pasha Allah says in the Qur’an that when you call him he responds. I have never seen anything like this in the world. And I have scoured world literature in several languages. Come, hear his words: Ujeebu D’awatad Daa-i, Idhaa Da’anee! The word “Idhaa” blows me away. Like every thing else […]

  A Letter to a Friend about “Old” vs. “New” in Islam Dr. Pasha Assalamu Alaikum, Allah bless you for writing. And for all good and great things you do.  And may Allah bless your family and your work and your business. I have said before, and I am saying it again, your letters on […]

  A Letter to Coworkers  Dr. Kamalodeen Assalaamu Alaikum! Alhamdulillah!  Tabaarakallah!  Allah bless all of you and your families!  I have noticed a sort of trend. Every time I send out an e-mail to this e-mail group, there is a backlash that seems to emanate from somewhere.  Sometimes, it is just “noise,” as they would […]

  People of Allah vs. Other People Dr. Pasha (Still trying to make Islam clear to the world: one concept at a time) People of Allah — Ahlullah, you can call them if you wish.  Nothing exotic or esoteric or mysterious or other-worldly about that expression Ahlullah. Just plain people. With one important difference.  They are People Who Put Allah First. […]

Summum Bonum: The Highest Good Or How to Save the World, Everything, Together! Dr. Pasha The best thing in life is to Serve and Save Humanity. And you do this by helping Humanity — People, All People — find its way to success, goodness and happiness in a chaotic and confusing world. Call it Summum Bonum, if you will. Latin I suppose, […]

  Muslims and Their Most Wonderful Ways Dr. Pasha Muslims, such as they are, are Allah’s People. Not a doubt about it.  Muslims may be chastised a little bit here and there, for this and that failure or fault, on the Day of Judgment. But then, their Destiny is Allah’s Rahmat.  And their eternal abode is Darus Salaam — […]

  Why I Teach What I Teach Dr. Pasha Basically, I teach about us. About our world. The way our world is. What it is and how it came to be. And the way our world ought to be. To begin with, I teach Research Methods. I do that so we will know and understand and […]
