Most of my readers probably know my conversion story by now, even though every time I tell it I remember some finer details that I previously forgot to mention. For those that have never heard it, the abridged version looks something like this: 

When we think of Islamic cultural legacies, we often reflect on Islam’s Golden Age during the 8th to 13th centuries, Islamic Spain, the Mali Empire, and later the accomplishments of the great Ottoman sultans.

Climate change is not just an environmental problem for Muslims. it is a moral and ethical issue and has already affected many vulnerable communities globally. 

Educators encounter students daily from a diverse range of ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, academic abilities, learning styles, and socioeconomic situations. From the very first day of school, teachers often make initial observations of their students as they enter the classroom.

I became acquainted with Islam unexpectedly around the age of 15.

Parenting stinks! Whether it is soiled diapers or sweaty gym socks, the stenches that come with childrearing are sure to offend even the most seasoned nostrils.

It seems like every time I open social media, there is a string of news articles or images denoting some “recent” discovery that Muslims have already been putting into practice for hundreds of years.
