With negative pressure from fellow Muslims at the mosque, the daily media pressure of negative news about Muslims and Islam, and all the challenges of learning a new religion and getting the right understanding about Islam, many new Muslims find themselves more stressed than ever before.

Which can lead them to wonder where is the peace promised in Islam?

How does a new Muslim cope with all these pressures?

 Another one of the beauties of #Islam is that it recognizes this great natural attraction between men and women and gives us the clear guidelines in this matter so that we can keep to a pure , Safe, chaste, and moral life style. This can be a sensitive issue for some people but if you put your emotions to the side and sincerely look at this from a scientific and logical perspective from the studies that have been done on the issue of gender relations, and if you are a God loving and fearing human being you would start to agree more and more with Islam’s special care and protection of women.

The House of Allah as a sanctuary from fear and violence

 Masjids have served as safe areas in war torn Central Africa. A central mosque in Kilometer 5, a predominantly Muslim district of Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic (CAR), has become a safe haven for several hundreds of Muslims fleeing attacks by Christian mobs and anti-balaka militiamen. Behind these emotional, violent outbursts are the major world powers vying for mineral rights and control of resources. May Allah protect and empower the Muslims of this region. Here is a typical Central African Jami Mosque in Bujumbura, Burundi. The beauty and strength of Islam still shines!!!

Written by Abdullah Hakim Quick

To speak less is wisdom, to eat less is healthy and to mingle less with the people is safe and serene.

 To speak less is wisdom, to eat less is healthy and to mingle less with the people is safe and serene.
 Hablar menos es sabiduría, comer menos es saludable y menos a mezclarse con el pueblo es seguro y sereno.
 Om te spreken minder is wijsheid, om minder te eten is gezond en minder mengen met de mensen is veilig en sereen.
 Pour parler moins, c’est la sagesse, de manger moins est en bonne santé et de se mêler moins avec les gens est sûr et serein.
 Zu sprechen ist weniger Weisheit, weniger zu essen ist gesund und weniger mit den Menschen zu mischen ist sicher und ruhig.
 Yào shǎo jiǎng shì zhìhuì, shǎo chī shì jiànkāng de, bìng yǔ rén dǎchéngyīpiàn shǎo jí shì ānquán hé níngjìng.
 Att tala mindre är vishet, att äta mindre är hälsosamt och att mingla mindre med folket är trygg och lugn.
 Govorit’ meneye mudrost’ , chtoby men’she yest’ zdorov i smeshat’sya meneye s lyud’mi yavlyayetsya bezopasnym i bezmyatezhnym.
 Az yemek, az bilgelik konuşmayı sağlıklı ve insanlarla daha az karıştırmak için güvenli ve sakin.
 Per parlare di meno è la sapienza, a mangiare di meno è sano e di mescolarsi meno con la gente è sicura e serena.
 Untuk berbicara kurang hikmat, untuk makan kurang sehat dan berbaur dengan orang-orang yang kurang aman dan tenang.
