This segment is titled: Embracing the Crescent Moon: The Magic of RamadanRamadan is one of the most profound and beautiful months in the Islamic calendar—a time when over two billion Muslims around the world come together to fast, pray, reflect, and build community. Far more than simply not eating or drinking from dawn to sunset, Ramadan is a spiritual reset button: a month-long journey of self-discipline, gratitude, empathy, and drawing closer to God. It's a celebration of faith that transforms ordinary days into moments of deep meaning and shared joy.Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. For 29 or 30 days—depending on the sighting of the new crescent moon—adult Muslims who are physically able fast from just before sunrise (the pre-dawn meal called suhoor) until sunset (the meal that breaks the fast, called iftar). The fast includes abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and intimate relations, but it also means guarding against anger, gossip, dishonesty, and negative thoughts. The goal is spiritual purification, increased devotion, and a heightened sense of compassion for those who go hungry every day. The day often begins with the quiet alarm of the pre-dawn call to prayer, followed by suhoor—a light but sustaining meal to carry people through the hours ahead. Throughout the day, many increase their prayers, read the Quran, give charity, and practice patience. At sunset, the fast is broken—usually with dates and water in remembrance of the Prophet Muhammad's practice—followed by a larger iftar meal shared with family and friends. Special nightly prayers called taraweeh fill mosques with beautiful recitations, and the month reaches its emotional peak during Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power), believed to be the night the Quran was first revealed.The month ends with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous three-day festival of feasting, new clothes, gift-giving, and gratitude for the strength to complete the fast.Ramadan's roots reach back to 610 CE in the deserts of Mecca, when the Prophet Muhammad received the first verses of the Quran from the angel Gabriel during a period of intense spiritual retreat in the Cave of Hira. That night—later called Laylat al-Qadr—marked the beginning of Islam's revelation.Fasting itself became obligatory about a decade later, after the Muslim community had migrated to Medina. The practice built on earlier traditions of fasting found among Jews and Christians in Arabia, but Islam gave it a distinctive form and purpose: a month-long act of worship open to the entire community, rich and poor alike. The name "Ramadan" comes from the Arabic root meaning “scorching heat” or "intense burning,” symbolizing both the blazing desert sun and the way fasting burns away impurities from the soul.Over the centuries, as Islam spread across continents, Ramadan absorbed beautiful local customs while retaining its core rituals. From the grand iftar banquets of the Ottoman palaces to the quiet devotion of early African American Muslims who fasted in secret, the month has always been a unifying force. Ramadan turns neighborhoods into living tapestries of light, sound, and generosity. Streets fill with lanterns, fairy lights, and colorful decorations. In many countries, people exchange special greetings—“Ramadan Mubarak” (Blessed Ramadan) or “Ramadan Kareem” (Generous Ramadan)—and share food with neighbors, even those who are not fasting.Mosques become community hubs, bustling late into the night with taraweeh prayers that feel like spiritual concerts. Charity surges: food drives, donations, and zakat al-fitr (a mandatory giving before Eid to ensure the poor can celebrate too). Families gather every evening for iftar, turning meals into moments of laughter, storytelling, and reconnection.

The Prophetic = Interpretation of a Companion's Dream | Shaykh Muhammad Sägib IqbalThe video discusses a dream of Talha ibn Ubaydullah where two companions, who embraced Islam on the same day, were presented at the gates of paradise (0:36). One companion was well-known for his devotion and service and died as a martyr a year before the other (0:14). The second companion, who was not a martyr and less known for his piety, died a year later (0:28).In the dream, an angel first admitted the second companion into paradise, and then the martyred companion (0:53). The angel then told Talha to return as his time had not yet come (1:06). When Talha recounted this to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Prophet explained that the second companion had lived a year longer and had been granted an additional Ramadan (1:33).The Prophet ﷺ emphasized that observing Ramadan with devotion and avoiding sins elevates a person's status significantly, even above that of a martyr (2:19). The video highlights the immense blessings of Ramadan, stressing the importance of avoiding sins like lying, backbiting, fighting, hurting others, and watching movies during this holy month (3:08). It encourages engaging in good deeds like reciting the Quran, studying its تفسير (exegesis), and sending salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ to please Allah (3:51).The speaker warns that disrespecting Ramadan through disobedience can lead to Allah's wrath (4:45). He cites a narration from Umm Hani stating that those who commit adultery or drink alcohol in Ramadan will be cursed by Allah and the angels until the next Ramadan, and if they die before that, they will have no good deeds to save them from hellfire (5:11). The video concludes by stressing that just as good deeds are magnified in Ramadan, so are sins (5:40).

The life of Khabbab ibn al-Aratt (RA) is one of the most moving examples of patience, sacrifice, and unwavering faith in early Islamic history.Among the first ten people to accept Islam, Khabbab (RA) embraced the truth at a time when doing so meant severe persecution. A slave and skilled blacksmith in Makkah, he was subjected to brutal torture by the Quraysh. Burning coals were placed on his back, and he faced constant abuse and humiliation, all because of his belief in Allah and his loyalty to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.Despite unimaginable suffering, Khabbab (RA) never turned away from Islam. His pain only strengthened his conviction, and his endurance became a source of guidance and inspiration for others. Later, he migrated to Madinah, took part in all major battles, and lived to see Islam flourish, a faith he once endured torture for believing in.He eventually passed away in Kufa, honored as a righteous and respected Companion. His life reminds us that truth demands sacrifice, but Allah never lets the struggle of sincere believers go to waste.This episode revisits the remarkable journey of a man whose scars told the story of faith and whose patience helped shape Islamic history.

President Trump is under fire today after accidentally sharing a cartoon video that portrayed the Obamas as apes and several other Democrats as animals in a Lion King–style jungle scene and black conservatives react. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani calls on America to look to ISLAM and the "Prophet Muhammad" to support a pro-mass migration stance. Prince George County spent $43,000 on a 3-night hotel stay during a snow storm. A Temple University student has now surrendered on federal charges admitting he helped Don Lemon with logistics and local contacts ahead of that anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in Minneapolis. Jesse Lee Peterson has made some salacious statements but let's unpack his statement on how kids will never accept a step parent. Is this hard truth or way off base?#trump #barackobama #michelleobama #jesseleepeterson #zohranmamdani

Adam Bursi's Traces of the Prophets: Relics and Sacred Spaces in Early Islam (Edinburg University Press, 2024) uses writings by early Muslims to map a history of material objects, relics, and tombs of prophetic figures as they were conceptualized in the 8th and 9th centuries. The book draws from various genres of writings, including biographies and hadith of the Prophet Muhammad and Qur'an commentaries and juristic compilations to capture the tensions and practices around tomb and relic veneration. Some of the discussion of Muslim relic veneration are polemical as they aim to establish some boundaries around similar pious practices amongst Jewish and Christian communities. In the process, we learn that there were indeed debates with regards to the post-mortem “traces” or “athar” of Muhammad's tomb, which then impacted how spaces associated with him were also perceived, as well as other prophetic figures like Ibrahim (Abraham) or Daniel. Such examples raise conceptual questions of absence and presence and Prophet Muhammad's capacity for intercession and obligatory versus non-obligatory rituals. In charting these early Muslim debates and narratives, Bursi masterfully captures the differing approaches Muslims had to holy bodies and sacred spaces. The book will be of interest to scholars who think about early Islamic history and also for scholars who work on contemporary Islamic material and shrine cultures.

The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him, said: "Observe moderation in taking action, and if you fail to observe it perfectly, try to do as much as you can. And be happy, for none would be able to get into Paradise because of his actions alone." The companions of the Holy Prophet said, "Allah's Messenger, not even you?" He replied, "Not even I, but for Allah enveloping me in His love.  And bear this in mind: the deed most loved by Allah is one which is done constantly, even though it is small."  [Collection: Muslim.]

This Week on One Ummah News Hour In this week's episode, we bring you critical updates from across the Ummah and beyond. We begin with the ongoing war in Sudan, where civilians — including entire Muslim communities — remain trapped amid violence, displacement, and severe humanitarian shortages. We examine what's happening on the ground and why the world's silence continues. We then turn to India, where Muslims face growing legal, political, and social risks. From policy decisions to civil rights challenges, we break down how recent developments are impacting Muslim life and institutions. From there, we cover demonstrations in Iran, analyzing the regional, political, and societal implications through a grounded and informed lens. This episode also features a special editorial, offering reflection, context, and accountability beyond headlines — connecting events to broader patterns affecting the Ummah. We round out the hour with sports highlights from around the world and financial insights, including developments shaping markets, opportunity, and ethical participation in today's economy.

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi explains how the Prophet Muhammad is misunderstood in the West, outlining Islam's focus on monotheism, ethics, and reason. He directly addresses the Aisha controversy, challenges extremist narratives, and argues faith must withstand logic, history, and moral scrutiny.

One Ummah News Hour | Out Today This episode of One Ummah News Hour confronts three critical stories shaping the reality of the Ummah today. We begin with the deeply troubling death of a Muslim Imam while in ICE custody—raising urgent questions about state violence, religious freedom, and the treatment of Muslim detainees in America. We examine what is known, what is being hidden, and why silence is not an option. Next, we address the growing bans on hijab, policies that target Muslim women under the guise of “neutrality” while stripping them of dignity, identity, and basic human rights. These bans are not isolated incidents—they are part of a broader campaign of erasure. We close with a powerful reminder of prophetic action on the ground: the tireless efforts of Imam Bilal Ali in Gainesville, Georgia, who continues to feed the homeless and serve the forgotten—showing us what Islam looks like when it moves beyond words and into action. This is not just news.This is accountability.This is One Ummah.

Through wisdom, humility, and personal reflection, this episode encourages us to look inward, reassess our intentions, and reconnect with the heart of our faith.

In this groundbreaking episode of the School of Divine Mysteries, Aharon — a 48-year-old Orthodox Jew from Jerusalem — reveals how his sincere search for God led him from strict Judaism… to recognizing the Mahdi, Aba Al-Sadiq. Raised in Israel, married with five children, and deeply devoted to Torah and Orthodox Jewish life, Aharon always believed he needed to “find the Moses of his time.” His journey took a shocking turn when he discovered Yeshua (Jesus), the tragedy of Karbala, and the hidden prophecies in Judaism that align with the Mahdi and the family of Prophet Muhammad. For the first time ever, Aharon publicly shares:

The discussion delves into the importance of emotional intelligence, resilience, humility, and sincerity in effective leadership.

For sixteen months, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions prayed toward Jerusalem. Then, in the middle of Rajab, everything changed. But what happened when the revelation came down during Asr prayer? And what about those companions praying miles away in Masjid Quba who had no idea the Qibla had just shifted? In this episode of the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan takes us through one of the most pivotal moments in Islamic history: the day the Muslim Ummah turned toward the Kaaba.  Discover the dramatic scene of companions mid-prayer, the single messenger who changed everything, and the Jews of Medina who called the Muslims "dimwitted" for this divine command. But that's not all. Why did the Prophet ﷺ long to face the Kaaba while still honouring Jerusalem?  What hidden fiqh rulings emerged from this single event? And how does the fasting of Ashura connect to this momentous occasion? The stage is now set for the greatest battle in Islamic history: a battle where Allah Himself promised forgiveness to its participants. Are you ready to witness what happens next?
