New Article by Mawlana Arif Kamal
A new article by Mawlana Arif Kamal examines the historical reports surrounding ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه and the Muʿawwidhatayn, exploring how classical scholars understood these narrations in light of ijmāʿ, tawātur, recitation, personal muṣḥafs, and the communal transmission of the Qurʾān.
What appears at first to be a question about two short sūrahs opens a much deeper discussion about how the Qurʾān was preserved and transmitted.

Islamic Bioethics in Action
We are honored to share the work of four Muslim physicians who have filed a federal lawsuit challenging an Illinois law that conflicts with Islamic beliefs and their commitment to medical ethics.
Darul Qasim subscribes to the universal message of Islam which embraces coexistence with others as part of God’s Will on Earth. It is the opinion of Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia and the Darul Qasim board, that in line with the rulings of authoritative Muslim jurists of the past and present, Muslims must abide by the laws of the sovereign state in which they reside. Following the law of the land is incumbent upon Muslims wherever they may choose to live. Any protest and/or demonstration against policies of the state must be within the legal boundaries of the given state and its laws. Anyone who chooses to violate the laws of the land should not use religion (i.e. Islam) as a cloak to violate its rules and regulations. Anyone who does, does so by his or her own volition and not under the teachings of Islam.
Darul Qasim exists to inspire and guide the pursuit of knowledge rooted in the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him). We equip students and scholars to serve their communities, engage thoughtfully in society, and share the teachings of Islam with clarity, integrity, and purpose.
Listen to Shaykh Amin Kholwadia, founder and president of Darul Qasim, as he explains the distribution and acquisition of Prophetic knowledge is central in making our lives in this country easier.
