Pornography Addiction and the Muslim Community | Abida Minhas: Pornography is a Muslim problem, while the discussion on Muslims and pornography consumption has begun to enter mainstream discussion, we often often focus on “porn is haram” without a context that addresses the underlying causes and effects of pornography consumption.

She is also a founding member of MAPS, the Muslim Association for Psychological Services, which is a social enterprise whose purpose is to bridge the gap between mental health and the Muslim community. by MuslimMatters

Work in Progress: Finding Focus in Salah | Shaykh Abdullah Ayaz Mullanee: I have been Muslim my entire life, and despite praying regularly for… at least two decades of it, I still never feel like I’m doing it right.

Let's ask Shaykh Abdullah Ayaz Mullanee, the dean of Mishkah Institute, and author of the books "A Ramadan With the Prophet (peace be upon him)" and "The Poetic Words of Sayyiduna Ali (May Allah be pleased with him)." by MuslimMatters

When Racism Goes Viral: Coronavirus and Modern Muslim Orientialism | Zeba Khan: Online, in Muslim as well as non-Muslim spaces, social media feeds are sniggering “Eww, you eat gross things!

22 min listen
What Kind of Man will Marry your Daughter? | Siraaj Muhammad: Have you ever tried watching an old sitcom years later and found yourself identifying more with the parents and less with the teens? I find myself in this position now as a father of two daughters.

Like Tinder, But Safer: Troubleshooting Arranged Muslim Marriage | Newaz Ahmed: The biodatas that we send and receive are inherently superficial.

What's the Matter with All Lives Matter? | Imam Khalil Abdur Rashid: In critiquing this response to the Black Lives Matter movement, we must first understand that the All Lives Matter slogan is a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement by the wealthy, White American power establishment who are part of and have inherited the making of American history, its empire and its consciousness. It is a reminder that those on the minority side of the race relations struggle have not been granted permission to speak out against their oppression nor have they been granted any authority to narrate or complain on behalf of their own plight. by MuslimMatters
