Muslim Ummah

Growing Up Muslim

Canadian teenagers who are devoted members of their Muslim faith are on the front lines of unpredictable change in this multicultural country, blending their families’ 1,400-year-old religion with West Coast popular culture, with secular lifestyle possibilities they often find fun, but sometimes trivial and distasteful.

JIMAS Leicester Islamic Conference 2007

I have just recently returned home from the annual JIMAS (Jam’iat Ihyaa Minhaaj al-Sunnah) conference, which is held every year. Many lectures were given on the topics of being environmentally aware and looking after the environment, which is something we should do as Muslims. The conference is also a chance to meet up with old friends and meet other Muslims. It is a very diverse environment, with Muslims all living in the UK, but with many nationalities represented.
