Hi Saad,
You wrote an article a while back about my toothbrush project (THIS Toothbrush) and I thought I’d follow up and let you know that it’s no longer a student project and is ready for production! We’ve actually revisited the design completely and are now trying to crowd-fund the first round of manufacturing here:

Hope you’ll share this as a follow-up to the article and help us make it a reality! Thanks

Salam brother!
I have a question in regards about Islam and the concept of free will. I asked my imam and he really didn't give me a clear cut answer I was looking for so I would like for you to please explain to me the concept of free will. What confuses me is because Allah (swt) knows EVERYTHING and can control EVERYTHING, why did he give us free will? if he knows what we are going to do, why bother with it? Hope that makes sense…haha
Jazakalla khair!
As Salaamu Alaikum Brother Mohammed,
No…I'm not Saad…lol But for an overwhelmingly l-o-n-g time I had this exact question. Subhanallah I thought I was the only one! But after much thought I came to a conclusion which eased my pain.
Allah (swt) gave us the free will or the opportunity to chose between right and wrong, good and evil. Even though Allah already knows and controls everything in the heavens and on earth, He gave us the intellect to make a certain choice. For example, if He places a test upon us, we have our own intentions. Even though we can't completely control what will happen in the future, we do have the control to like, dislike, fight against, or draw near to something.
I guess it all comes down to what's in our heart. Also how hard we strive for the cause of Allah in the face of difficulty. All we can do is ask for His supreme help and guidance Inshaallah.
I hope this helps and didn't make it more confusing…
Dear brother Saad,
I really enjoyed reading your blog on shaking hand with the opposite gender. I face i every day, ad God willing I have decided to stop, mabrook for al the deeds your are going to get for me ending this habit. I wanted to had that the frist reason a woman wear her veil is becuase she realizes the capacity of her femininity, that every piece of her is beautiful, letting him touch your hand, is like lettign a hand touch your back, or your face, thank you, you know I alwsy felt really shy when I shook hands with men, and finally I have come to the complete realization of why,
Brother Saad, I would really like to ask you to talk about your ver of women beautifying themselves outside their house. you that for women not displaying her beauty is a true test. every woman wants to be beautiful, even if she already is, she lives on being beautiful. I cover my hair, but not my face. I dont really wear make up, just ee liner and lipstick, but even I can see how much better I look when I add some color to my face. I want some advice to quit doing that. I know I am already beautiful, and no confirmation from any man mater to me,well I mean, I am lieing ofcourse it does matter, but I dont know how to stop, I feel un polished if i am not atelast wearing a little something. I have tried talking myself out of it, maybe if I hear it from you I will be able to stop.
Gazak allah kheir
i love u

Hello there.
If I wanted to advertise a text link on your site, what would it cost?
Thank you
Selam, I was wondering if you could do a post about muslim teenagers and the struggles they have to go through with everything in society today, including sex and these desires. I know the marriage post you made includes some of that in there but I am in a bad place and although I control myself as much as I can, I do break sometimes and commit those horrible sins. I am still a virgin but it’s been insanely hard staying one. I feel like this is a sin I keep falling into, and I want to fully stop and repent. But being 19 isn’t the easiest.. My hormones are insane and I can’t always control myself. My parents won’t let me marry until I’m out of college, but that’s years away. I’m sick of falling into this trap, what can I do? What can other Muslims do who have problems with porn and zina and etc? Id really like to hear from you. Thank you.
Hello fellow brothers and sisters,
Sarosh Mawani, 17 years old, and Aly Panjwani, 15 years old, recently came up with the idea to enhance the community’s knowledge about Islam merely by composing and recording inspirational songs, which will later compile and be a part of their 5 Pillars album.
The first two songs of the album were “Ibadat” and “Zakāt.” The third (and in my opinion the best) song of the album is called “Shahada,” which is composed by Sarosh and beautifully sang by Aly. This song also features vocalists Mehak Noorani and Fez Meghani. Although there were late nights and early mornings, these guys were determined to finish this production, which was well worth the hard work. I’m not trying to sound biased, but the tune and lyrics of this song give me goose bumps every time I listen to it; you can hear the passion in everyone’s voice and their abundance of love for God. It’s a phenomenal song for studying or just clearing your mind. Don’t believe me? Check it out on YouTube!

We have just started a kickstarter campaign to find support for our novel, Jahaada, which gives voice to Muslim-Americans. In the book, our main character, Musa, is the typical American dad, but after 9/11, the world only sees him as a Muslim.
About Our Book:
Raised in urban Jersey City, Musa is the typical American father, focused on his family and career. Yet after the tragedy of September 11, 2001 across the Hudson in New York City, his life has been plagued by distrust and racism toward his religion.
As a Pakistani Muslim, he is constantly on the defensive with current events, co-workers and authority figures, until he meets Wasim, a doctor who becomes his confidant and mentor. However, this new friendship, which promises to lead him on a path of new piety, may be more dangerous than expected.
Jahaada is a multi-layered psychological thriller of what it means to be a Muslim in contemporary America. Musa only wants the American dream for his family, but he ends up almost destroying those he loves the most.
Please take a look at our kickstarter page to read the first few pages:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/515380053/jahaada-a-novel
Your website is one of the few places on the web that allows for open dialogue from youthful Pakistani perspectives. Would you be interested in interviewing us or allowing us to write up a guest blog post? We are halfway through writing the book, and we can talk about the struggles writing the book and what we hope to achieve.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
