It is the cold season, and if you have children, chances are they have been sniffling and sneezing for the past few weeks, or even months. Wintry weather can wreak havoc on our immune systems, as viruses and bacteria look for warm places to hide and thrive.

So, you are a parent of Muslim children in public school (in a majority non-Muslim country). Welcome to the club! Congratulations, for making it this far into the school year!

In recent decades, the Muslim community in the United States has become increasingly diverse, with Latino Muslims emerging as one of the fastest-growing groups.

Elders are the backbone of our communities. They have laid the foundation for the future, constructing and maintaining the mosques in which we pray and the institutions where our children learn about Islam. Many have dedicated their lives to raising generations upon the faith.
