Peace be with you all, My name is Saad Ahmad Rashad . Well my friends added rashad at the end, in-case you haven’t noticed the whole name rhymes. I’m a Muslim brother from another mother who grew up in Brooklyn and has come across many experiences, and I thought maybe you Muslims and Non-Muslims would be interested in reading about my random views and topics. I try my best to talk about issues which I feel need to be reflected upon to reform oneself.
A little bit about me: I’m currently 23 years old. I graduated in 2011 from Brooklyn college (I love this place) with a degree in business and marketing. I want to go back and finish my masters insh’Allah soon. Currently I’m in the Entrepreneur mode working on some projects and concurrently building out the Chill Yo Islam Yo brand. Aside from having a thirst of knowledge for the deen, I’m actively studying and working on mastering my technical knowledge of online analytics.
Ultimately, I really love business and it motivates me even more that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S) was a successful businessman due to his honesty and ability to build solid relationships.
Anyways back to Chill Yo. The goal is simple: If enough of us change we can perhaps change the world. I will try my best to put my thoughts and insights in a clear perspective driven by educated purposes so you and I can make positive moves in life. We have a new generation of Youth coming and my goal is to help them not make the same mistakes I made and more specifically the generation before. So yea that wraps it up like a mummy, God willing I hope you like it.
Don’t worry my articles are clean like halal meat, there isn’t any attempt at trying to twist up the truth over here. Yes this is official tissue like a refugee whistle.
Why did I make this website?
In addition to what I’ve already mentioned. I just want to add some more points. All praise is due to Allah and no doubt Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is his last messenger. My mission is to take over the world like pinky and the brain, without using my brain. Just playing. insh’Allah (God Willing) my goal is to give people a better understanding of Islam by presenting it in a clean, and practical way.
Most of main articles as you’ll see in the “Real Halal Talk” section are geared towards personal development. From a marketing perspective, the target audience of my content are mostly Young Muslims from the west, but of course anyone can gain benefit if Allah wills it for them.
One of the main problems in the world is ignorance. As a writer, I feel I need to address certain issues that are often ignored or not presented in a appealing way to the Youth, who in fact have a attention span of 20 minutes! I hope to establish a need for them to visit this website, and entertain them without sacrificing my principles and ethical beliefs.
Meaning permissible to Islamic rules and give them the bridge them to the ideology of “chill yo Islam yo”, meaning if you come across anything haraam (evil, impermissible, forbidden) – not permissible in Islam, that ruins your moment, just say “Chill Yo Islam Yo”, and keep it moving like a smooth Muslim. ( Props to my boy Harris for the idea)
So now it’s time to write articles targeted towards those who are in need of spiritual and mental development. Closing remarks, hold strong to your faith and remember Allah (God Almighty). Be real with yourself, and most importantly choose your companions wisely, and be a leader. This isn’t no tom cruise movie, I believe in my mission, its not impossible, don’t get it twisted. Lastly, anytime I write an article, it is a reminder to myself first before any of you.

welcome to islam amirah..
This is an answer for those brothers who miraculously happen to find out BEFORE they even know me or meet me that i drive a Mister Softee truck and ask me this question with the utmost eye glowing amazement, leg shaking excitement and hair pulling curiousity …How does it feel to be Mr Softee??
well for all you anonymous fans ..here’s the answer:
So im drivin my Mr Softee truck on a Saturday afternoon and I slow down for this man who’s waving for ice-cream …but as I get closer and stop the truck im dazed and amazed to find this ridiculously dressed guy even tho it isn’t halloween yet but anyhow he happens to be a real live pirate and suddenly i have a feeling he hadn’t stopped me for ice cream …but C’MON a pirate in Brooklyn?!!?!? ..ehh what the hell, a customer is a customer so I open the window ..unfortunately I noticed that this pirate had a miniature pirate ship steering wheel sticking out of his fly but nonetheless I asked him hey pirate you have cash?? ..so the pirate says Aaaarrr I left me Louis Vuitton wallet back on me ship …but I be carryin me this measly bag of gold …so I told him listen captain, the cone costs two bags of gold but since you seem like a cool cat ill let u slide this time (oh yea ..and after that day I took a permanent vacation) ..anyway so I asked him What can I get ya? ..the pirate motioned his hook at the picture and said Aaaarrrrr gimmi a swirled cone with them sprinkles and a waffle cone for me parrot!! …I said no problem captain but YOU DO know that you have a little steering wheel sticking out of yur fly right?? …the pirate laughed aarrr arrrr aarrr arrrrr and said ..this be a wheel boy which steers me nuts for the rated Aaaarrrr action with me mermaids!!
….well, there you have it
anyway next time we meet we can have a NON-ICECREAM related conversation inshAllah =)
