We are in the midst of the most sacred month of the year and while we strive to fill our days and nights with worship, strengthen our faith, and purify our intentions in the hopes of attaining taqwa or God-consciousness, we must not forget to give attention to building our character.

In the daily hustle and bustle of our lives we sometimes find ourselves being hasty in our prayers, duas, and the  little acts of worship we offer to our Lord.

Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah, the blessed month of fasting and spiritual reflection is nearly upon us. Muslims around the world are preparing, whether it is physically, mentally, or spiritually to make the best of the holy month. 

It is no secret that Islamophobia is rampant throughout the world in this day and age. Muslims and especially children suffer from bullying and alienation. According to recent studies, Muslim students in public schools face bullying at twice the rate of their non-Muslim peers.
