“A Muslim can’t wake up in the morning and say, ‘You know, I’m going to take the day off from Islamophobia.’”
INCLUSION & RESPECT
“One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is to make them feel they are being seen and are being heard.”

“I hope religious leaders stand up to all manifestations of hatred and intolerance.”
RELIGIOUS LITERACY
“I am not alone in this. I have brothers and sisters all around the world that are fasting with me. We hold our prayers and our meditations very sacred.“

RELIGIOUS LITERACY
The Islamic calendar is called the “Hijri.” Like most calendars that serve a religious community, the Hijri is based on a fundamental sacred event. Whereas the Gregorian calendar denotes year one as the year of Jesus’ birth, the Hijri counts year one as the year the Prophet Muhammad escaped from persecution by migrating from Makkah (Mecca) to Medina.
RELIGIOUS LITERACY
It was about time a show of this nature made its debut on the center stage. According to the Annual Population Survey spanning from April 2017 to March 2018, the second largest religion in the UK is Islam (representing 5%+ of the total population). This compares to the figure of about 1.4% in the U.S., in 2015.
