Imam Jamil Al Amin (H Rap Brown) has returned to His Lord. For years we fought to free him. Today he is free. From prison to paradise God willing. He never lost his dignity, his voice never shook. His innocence was proven, but the system didn’t care. We cared. We loved. And InshaAllah, we will continue to move forward with his legacy.
May Allah accept him among the righteous and grant him the highest ranks of paradise. Ameen

@YasirQadhi Well said. “Chickens coming home to roost comes to mind”… tragic nonetheless. Strange, the precision of this crime was very Israeli like, and the timing couldn’t have cause more chaos for the trump admin…🤔…perhaps bb is sending a message as they expand the “war”

No one deserves to be shot brutally in public, sliced open by the bullet of a cowardly sniper.
Hence, I condemn in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of at least 1500 Palestinians by snipers - many of whom were women and children collecting food - by the IDF cowards in Gaza.
And I condemn in the strongest terms the shooting of over 1000 Palestinians living in the West Bank in 'clashes' instigated by Isareli forces.
And I also condemn in the strongest terms the bombing and intentional killing of over 70,000 civilians in Gaza by the genocidal regime of Netanyahu.
Anyone who justified or mocked those deaths deserves no sympathy and is no hero - even as the same verdict above holds true for them as well.
Dying by violence does not cleanse a legacy of justifying violence.

We need to say this loudly and clearly: we have just as much right as any other citizen to preach what we believe is the truth, and there is no hidden agenda or nefarious scheme in our lobbying.
I want an America that prioritizes the health-care of its citizens over foreign wars.
I want our taxes to better our education rather than manufacture bombs to sell overseas.
I want an America that allows and supports family and decency over immorality and child licentiousness.
And yes, I will publicly, as is my Constitutional right, attempt to persuade as many others as I can that this is for America's good. If you disagree with my view, it is your right to argue against this.
What makes you believe that your right to your opinion is more legitimate than mine? Just as you are wanting to change the system for the better, so am I. This is the country I was born in, and my Constitutional rights are just as sacred as yours.
If you disagree with that right, then I suggest you go back to where your own ancestors came from, because I'm not going anywhere.
American Muslims: if you agree with this sentiment, please retweet and spread this message. We've already experienced this hatred and 'otherization' before, but this time, we won't be silenced.

Israel continues to kill and massacre and they play victim. Horrific:

“Noor, the love of Dad and Mum.” A Palestinian girl who wrote a message on her arm so she could be identified was one of 36 members of the same family killed in an Israeli air attack in north Gaza.

Most young people are taught that schooling will get you a good job which leads to wealth. If not great wealth, it will lead to a stable career by which one will be able to afford a mortgage, one or more cars, and enjoy life. Unfortunately, so many in the US have become nothing more than credit slaves living check to check or having most of one’s income go to long term debt to pay off luxuries we enjoy. We university-educated westerners are spoiled and heedless of just how good we have it. So, it is no surprise to see so many people complain about not being able to find work in the field of their university education and overcome with anxiety at the prospect of having to pursue a career in a different field.
It seems to me that most people don’t have much of a choice in their careers. And I’ve always respected blue collared workers and others content with what God has made available to them. I work in the religious academy and as a cleric. I have been blessed immensely despite the accidental nature of my good fortune. I never planned to be an Islamic scholar. It just happened. I never planned to be a professor. It just happened. I didn’t apply for my current job. I was recruited and invited here.
I have no complaint about my position and career even though careers in religious and other forms of education generally provide the least amount of remuneration when compared to fields like STEM, law, business, and investing. Ibn Khaldun states that it is because the demographic considering such services to be essential is comparatively small.
These words are meant to encourage others to exercise humility in the workplace. Most people don’t get what they want in life. So, thank God if you have a job. Thank Him even more if yours provides you with enough or more than you need.
Clerical/religious work can be challenging for many reasons, most especially due to financial struggles. I’m certain that Imams throughout the world would agree with this statement. One must remember, however, that God provides in many ways. And when you have a family, you cannot afford to insist that your income can only originate from a source or work connected with your university or madrasah education. If I were to ever lose my job, I remain poised to find work in any field available to me, God willing. Insistence upon anything else is a luxury of first-world citizens. Be grateful for what you have. Cherish it. And remain humble if it is every gone.
I legally started work when I was 15 years old. And before that my friends and I used to go door to door asking neighbors if they needed snow removal, leaves raked, or hedges cut. We would also collect tin cans, bottles, and bottle tops for small change paid to us by recycling stations. Below is a list of jobs I have had throughout my life.
- Paperboy, which included attempts to convince neighbors to subscribe.
- Painted homes (indoor and outdoor)
- Barber (worked in 3 different shops)
- Security guard (university campus and 2 hospitals)
- School teacher (taught Qur’an, and Aqidah, Fiqh from 3-12 graders)
- Prison Chaplain
- Professor (current)
