Cartoon Controversy - NEW Imam Zaid Shakir Article

Our beloved Imam Zaid has written another important article that discusses the current cartoon crisis. Here is an excerpt:

In an age of instantaneous communications and
globalized media it is important for Muslims to reaffirm our commitment
to the prophetic ethical ideal. Under prevailing conditions, the
sensationalized excesses of some Muslims, excesses that contradict the
ethical teachings of our Prophet, ,
are often used to distort the perception of Islam in the West. That
distortion in turn helps to create prejudiced attitudes towards Islam
and Muslims.

Imam Zaid has published a new article to address the cartoon controversy. He asks very pertinent questions including questions about our strategic vision and our ability to engage in meaningful proactive work.

Here is an excerpt:

"As individuals, we find it difficult to support the Prophet, peace and blessings of God upon him, by adorning ourselves with his lofty character traits, or reviving His Sunnah in our daily lives."

Rise and Fall of the Ummah

Alhambra Productions strives to be at the forefront of new technologies. We released an MP3 CD in 2004 entitled "The Rise and Fall of the Ummah" by Imam Zaid Shakir. With the expanding iPod generation upon us, it is no wonder this release has been immensely popular. This single CD contains the complete 8 week class taught by Imam Zaid in the Zaytuna Institute. This CD has over 11 hours of audio!

We have received a lot of feedback from users of the famous iPod and other MP3 portable players. They have remarked how wonderful it is to be able to transfer the files from the CD to their players. For those without an iPod or similar device, you can still play this release on your computer with a media player. Some new CD players are MP3 CD compatible.
