Islam students at LUC

I remember going to six flags with a Muslim friend of mine. She wore a shirt and shorts. Another Muslim friend she brought along had on a pair of athletic pants with shorts underneath. When she put just wore the shorts, her brother became upset with her and told her no one better see her. [...]

I know this is pretty random, but I am currently reading a book called “Brothel”, and it discusses a variety of topics about the legalizing of prostitution in Nevada and the various arguments for it being allowed to be institutionalized. In the book, they talk about a variety of different aspects in regards to performing [...]

I also really enjoyed the film.  I like how they had the stories of Muslims from completely different backgrounds and how they basically juxtaposed them. The whole journey itself seemed so liberating.  They all abandoned their lives at home for the sake of becoming closer with God.  Seeing them get emotional and watching them start [...]

yeah i thought the video was pretty interesting too.  the most interesting part to me though was all the mention of Prophet Abraham and how much he contributed to the Islamic religion and traditions.  usually everyone is so focused on Prophet Muhammad (S) and what he’s done for Islam, which granted, he’s important and has [...]

I liked that video a whole lot.  I was first expecting it to be a boring touchy feely documentary.  I wasn’t surprised by the problems that those people faced and even thought that it was being staged because we didn’t see it happening in the movie.  We just saw people talking about it.   But [...]

I was also surprised by the treatment of the Texan lady and South African man in the video. The pilgrammage to Mecca, with men of wealth and poverty wearing the same clothes, is supposed to make everyone equal. No one is better than the other. It was interesting to see her faith questioned simply because [...]

Even when I saw the ad on the 155 CTA bus, I was shocked. I did not know what the possible intentions could be for the ones who are responsible for the advertisement. But then, I started hearing from passengers that they were curious about why the names of Moses, David, Abraham, and Jesus were attached [...]

I was thinking the same thing! It was interesting how the prejudice situation was turned around. Normally we talk about how people are prejudiced against Muslims, but here, it was the Muslims who were prejudiced against people who looked out of place (like the people weren’t true Muslims). I liked the point that the woman [...]

This happened to my mom. I don’t know if this is a jin story or just something creepy??? One night my mom and I were home alone and we were both asleep in our rooms. My dad was working very late that night and said he’d be home around 2am, and so around midnight my [...]
