| inspirational ramadan stories: The White Nights of Ramadan Maha Addasi, 2017-05-09 Mid-Ramadan is a special time for families in the Arabian (Persian) Gulf. These middle days are known as the three whites, because they include the day of the full moon, the day before, and the day after. It's a time when children dress in traditional clothing and go from house to house collecting treats from their neighbors. When Noor sees the full moon rising, signaling the coming of Girgian, she and her brothers prepare for the fun. Together, they decorate the bags they'll carry to collect the candies. But along with the fun, Noor remembers the true meaning of Ramadan: spending time with family and sharing with those less fortunate. |

| inspirational ramadan stories: Avoiding Harm A. Rashied Omar, 2023-10-16 Research scholars have lamented the fact that most of the extant studies on religious responses to the COVID-19 pandemic focus on a particular religious group, typically Christian. This book fills this lacuna by providing some useful insights into how one Muslim religious institution responded to the pandemic. It portrays the sermons, advice, and guidance provided to the Claremont Main Road Mosque (CMRM) congregation in Cape Town, South Africa, by its Imams and elected board of governors during the course of the pandemic. The book carries a concluding chapter by Professor R. Scott Appleby, an expert in the study of lived religion, who critically reflects on this collection of sermons and the response of the mosque by providing some independent ruminations on the themes of religion, science, and the human person. |

| inspirational ramadan stories: In Search of Common Ground: Inspiring True Stories of Overcoming Hate in a Divided World Bastian Berbner, 2022-10-11 An essential book for this moment—here are inspiring stories of people who have built meaningful relationships despite initial deep-seated prejudice, revealing how we can mend our fiercest divides Is there nothing we can do? This is the question that inspired award-winning journalist Bastian Berbner to embark on this book as he surveyed the political arenas in the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere across Europe, compelled by what he describes as “something akin to political fear.” What he found in the course of his reporting are people who, despite significant differences in their worldviews and ideas, were able to trust, listen to, and be open with one another. In Search of Common Ground takes us around the world: to Arizona, where a former neo-Nazi befriends his Black parole officer; to Germany, where an older couple dread the arrival of their new Roma neighbors—but are moved upon meeting them to offer help, becoming their friends and champions; to Ireland, where we see one friendship change the world when a gay-rights activist overturns a conservative mailman’s homophobia—and together, they help sway public opinion to legalize gay marriage. Berbner’s intensively reported and compelling accounts are interwoven with expert insight from Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman, psychologist Peter Coleman of Columbia University, and others. This uplifting book vividly shows that we can overcome prejudice and find common ground. |

| inspirational ramadan stories: Ramadan Ramsey Louis Edwards, 2022-07-05 The Guggenheim Fellowship and Whiting Award-winning author Louis Edwards makes his long-awaited comeback with this epic tale of a New Orleans boy whose very creation is so filled with tension that it bedevils his destiny before he is even born. Spanning from the Deep South to the Middle East, Ramadan Ramsey bridges multiple countries and cultures, entwining two families who struggle to love and survive in the face of war, natural disasters, and their equally tumultuous, private mistakes and yearnings. Ramadan Ramsey begins in 1999 with the moving (and funny) teenage love story of Alicia Ramsey, a native New Orleans African American young woman, and Mustafa Totah, a Syrian immigrant who works in her neighborhood at his uncle's convenience store. Through a series of familial betrayals, Mustafa returns to Syria unaware that Alicia is carrying his child. When the baby is born, Alicia names their son Ramadan and raises him with the help of her mother, Mama Joon. But tragedy strikes when the epochal hurricane of 2005 barrels into New Orleans, shattering both the Ramsey and Totah families. Years later, when Ramadan turns twelve, he sets off to find Mustafa. It is an odyssey filled with breathtaking and brilliant adventures that takes Ramadan from the familiar world of NOLA to Istanbul, and finally Aleppo, Syria, where he hopes to unite with the father he has never known. Intimate yet epic, heartbreaking yet triumphant, Ramadan Ramsey explores the urgency of 21st century childhood and the richness and complexity of the modern family as a shared global experience. It is also a reminder of Louis Edwards' immense talent and fearless storytelling and is a welcome return of this literary light. |

| inspirational ramadan stories: Sex and Romance in Islam Dr Zam, Dr Zam’s Institute of Holistic Living, 2024-07-08 This book, Sex and Romance in Islam: A Comprehensive Guide Based on Quran, Hadith, and Modern Evidence, is born out of a deep need to provide a balanced and holistic understanding of intimate relationships within the Islamic framework. In today's rapidly changing world, Muslims often find themselves navigating a complex landscape of cultural expectations, religious teachings, and modern scientific insights. This book aims to bridge these worlds, offering a comprehensive guide that is both deeply rooted in Islamic principles and informed by contemporary research. Marriage in Islam is a sacred institution, a partnership built on love, respect, and mutual support. It is a union that not only fulfills physical and emotional needs but also serves as a means of spiritual growth and societal stability. The Quran and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) offer profound guidance on how to nurture this union, ensuring that both partners find peace and fulfillment. In writing this book, we have sought to stay true to the timeless wisdom of Islamic teachings while incorporating the latest evidence-based data on sexual health, marital satisfaction, and relationship dynamics. Each chapter is designed to provide actionable insights, practical strategies, and real-world examples that can help couples enhance their intimate relationships in a way that aligns with their faith. Our approach has been to present the teachings of the Quran and Hadith in a manner that is accessible and relevant to contemporary readers. We have included prophetic examples to illustrate how these teachings were lived out by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions. Additionally, we have drawn on modern research to highlight how these timeless principles can be applied in today's context to foster healthy, fulfilling, and lasting marital relationships. We hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for couples seeking to deepen their understanding of sex and romance in Islam. Whether you are newly married, have been together for many years, or are preparing for marriage, we believe that the insights and guidance provided here will help you build a stronger, more intimate, and more harmonious relationship. May Allah bless your marriage with love, tranquility, and mutual respect. May He guide you in all your endeavors and grant you success in this life and the hereafter. Ameen. |

| inspirational ramadan stories: Music in Conflict Nili Belkind, 2020-10-15 Music in Conflict studies the complex relationship of musical culture to political life in Palestine-Israel, where conflict has both shaped and claimed the lives of Palestinians and Jews. In the context of the geography of violence that characterizes the conflict, borders and boundaries are material and social manifestations of the ways in which the production of knowledge is conditioned by political and structural violence. Ethical and aesthetic positions that shape artistic production in this context are informed by profound imbalances of power and contingent exposure to violence. Viewing expressive culture as a potent site for understanding these dynamics, the book examines the politics of sound to show how music-making reflects and forms identities, and in the process, shapes communities. The ethnography is based on fieldwork conducted in Israel and the West Bank in 2011–2012 and other excursions since then. Author has followed the conflict by following the music, from concert halls to demonstrations, mixed-city community centers to Palestinian refugee camp children’s clubs, alternative urban scenes and even a checkpoint. In all the different contexts presented, the monograph is thematically and theoretically underpinned by the ways in which music is used to culturally assert or reterritorialize both spatial and social boundaries in a situation of conflict. |
| inspirational ramadan stories: Gender, Islam and Sexuality in Contemporary Indonesia Monika Arnez, Melani Budianta, 2024-02-24 This Open Access book explores the complex interplay between gender, Islam and sexuality in Indonesia, the country with the world's largest Muslim population. The authors offer a fresh look at the tensions between the local and the global through a wide range of cultural expressions and productions, including fashion, Islamic dating, popular literature, and videos on YouTube. The book is grouped around three core themes: sexuality and violence, halal lifestyle, and shame and self-determination. The first section unpacks how activists and progressive religious scholars have argued for the need for the Sexual Violence Bill and it examines the ambivalence between criminalisation and care towards LGBTQ+ people. In the second, the authors bring new insights into how local expressions of Islam, gender and sexuality are negotiated in an increasingly globalised world. The contributions on the third theme tackle gender roles and mobility in culturally diverse regions such as Hong Kong,Taiwan, Singapore, the US, and Indonesia. The volume is a must-read for anyone wanting to get up to speed on changes in Indonesia's gender, sexuality and Islamic landscape. - Professor Sharyn Graham Davies, Director of the Herb Feith Indonesia Engagement Centre, Monash University, Australia A showcase of excellent research, this book is of appeal to Indonesian studies scholars, and to readers in the field of Asian cultural studies. It is also of relevance to the field of Asian gender and sexuality studies, and to scholars in Islamic studies. - Professor Pamela Nilan, University of Newcastle, Australia |
