GOD’S LONELY MAN: TAXI DRIVER AND THE ONSLAUGHT OF Has there ever been a film as influential and provocative as Taxi Driver?It may seem a strange choice at first. Even among director Martin Scorcese’s filmography, it is hardly the most acclaimed (Raging Bull, GoodFellas), nor the most controversial (The Last Temptation of Christ, The Wolf of Wall Street).And yet it is Taxi Driver, above all the others, that has struck a nerve in the American TASAWWUF AS ISLAMIC EXISTENTIALISM Tasawwuf as Islamic Existentialism. Existence is a strange thing. While it permeates all that is and all that we experience, it eludes our grasp. Existence is the very ground upon which humanity stands and subsists. This ontological realization is known as existentialism. It concerns what it means to exist and its associated consequences, our WHAT’S MISSING FROM TODAY’S ETHICAL MINDSET?

MODERN MYTH: THE MODERATE MUSLIM Modern Myths is a series of articles that deconstructs popular myths that are informed by modernity. This series first presents the myth, analyzes and dismantles it from a lens of tradition, and ultimately, offers alternatives in viewing or resolving the legitimate challenges associated with the myth. MOTHERHOOD IS A COMMUNAL IMPERATIVE Motherhood is a Communal Imperative. A tweet regarding motherhood provoked a firestorm on Muslim social media, becoming the latest event in the sad saga of how America’s culture wars now define the way Muslims talk with each other.

CAN A NONHUMANITARIAN ETHICS ADDRESS ECONOMIC INEQUALITY? Revolution, often affected through battered souls ambushed by endless hardship, has taken on a romantic flavor in history classes. The possibility and promises of change through democracy dominates contemporary thinking. We are often taught that affecting upheaval in today’s world requires ideological commitment and hardy political maneuvering. But need revolution be so grand? Maybe change is seeded in the acts so familiar to us in … Continue reading Can a Nonhumanitarian Ethics Address Economic Inequality? Traversing TraditionSeptember 2,

LEGAL PLURALISM WITHIN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL LAW At the heart of how much of the Muslim-majority world regulates its financial and banking laws, Islamic contract and commercial law extends globally.

Indonesia, Qatar, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey made up 78% of the international Islamic banking assets within commercial banks … Continue reading Legal Pluralism Within International Commercial Law Traversing TraditionAugust 5,

SPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM THE LION KING Recently reproduced in theaters, The Lion King is a movie that the average child who grew up in the 90’s Disney era can recall almost from memory. The movie is almost unanimously held in high esteem by adults and children alike. The Lion King even sees praise from critics of the Disney model as a whole–and there is something to be said about this. It … Continue reading Spiritual Lessons From The LionKing

L’IMPORTANCE DE LA CROYANCE DANS NOTRE ÉPOQUE In English Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahim Les musulmans ont souvent du mal à expliquer les crises de foi qui se manifestent dans la génération à venir. «Ils ont besoin de prier davantage» ou «ils sont ingrats» sont des réponses courantes et dédaigneuses, qui réduisent les crises à une médiocrité dommageable. Qu’est-ce que la prière sans connaissance? Quelle est la gratitude sans conscience de qui on devrait … Continue reading L’importance de la croyancedans notre époque

RECONSIDERING THE LIBERAL ASYLUM In recent years, the right wing’s increased outward animosity towards Islam and Muslims has driven Muslims to become disillusioned with the conservative Republican party. Muslim immigrants to the United States used to disporportionately vote republican in the years preceding 9/11. George W. Bush’s campaign made calculated attempts to win over Muslims. Analysts attribute this behavior to republican politician Grover Norquist stating that because Muslims are … Continue reading Reconsidering the Liberal AsylumWassim July

DÉCONSTRUIRE L’ARGUMENT DES MIRACLES SCIENTIFIQUES DU CORAN In Englishبالعربية Aller à la mosquée et trouver des brochures de livres sur les « miracles scientifiques du coran » est devenu une chose banale. Beaucoup de prédicateurs, apologistes, ou encore même de musulmans du quotidien qui font de la dawah, continuent d’utiliser cet argument afin de prouver que l’islam est la « vérité ».

ON SPIRITUAL HUMILITY Muslims are superficially familiar with the concept of spiritual humility. Our elders often scold us and remind us of the virtues of humility. Nonetheless, a question that is rarely answered (or even asked) is how does one attain spiritual humility? Even further, what is humility? What role does our self-esteem play? The scarcity of these questions and their answers are reflective of the scarcity of … Continue reading On Spiritual HumilityWassim June

IS TOXIC MASCULINITY ISLAMIC? A standout moment from early Islamic history is that of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who upon being challenged by a woman in a public place, famously declared, “The woman is right, and Umar is wrong.” Muslims, when affirming the position of women in Islam, often repeat this event, which took place when Umar was the Khalifa. The pre-colonial Muslim world is littered … Continue reading Is Toxic Masculinity Islamic? Traversing TraditionJune 17,
