Browsing through Huffpost's Religion section, I came across a similarly titled- 'Ramadan Reflection' series from one of North America's up and coming Imams, Khalid Latif. 28 year old chaplain at NYU, and Executive Director of the NYU Islamic Center, Imam Latif's message of inclusion and social harmony is penetrating the masses! He articulates a perspective that is very appealing to young western Muslims who have been born and raised in Canada, the US, etc. He is an imam in our own image, of our own generation, who has grown up with similar cultural and social norms and this is precisely why he seems relatable. His 'Ramadan Reflection' series is an interesting read. It discusses some of his 'reflections' on the hidden beauty and common challenges he (and we) is experiencing during this month.
I also came across two hadith (statements or actions of the Prophet SAW) that I felt like sharing.
A believer is not stung from the same hole twice -Sahih Al-Bukhari & Muslim. An excellent quote that speaks to how we should try and learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.
Two blessings which many people waste are health and free time -Sahih Al-Bukhari. There ain't nothing truer than these words.
This is a bandwidth eater, but Muhammad Al-Shareef has put up a link on his facebook page of a live stream from Masjid al-Haram. Tune in to Taraweeh prayers for a chance to hear some Qur'anic recitation.
