Probably in the mid of this year(March-June), israelis will sacrifice a red heifer for the summoning of the Ad-dajjal (False Messiah) and demolition of Al Aqsa! Imam Mehdi will be appearing after the demolishing of Al Aqsa! May Allah save us from the greatest fitnah that is yet to come on this planet!

“Mufti Mohammad Farhan juggles numerous responsibilities at the Islamic Center of Long Island in New York. On a Friday afternoon, he finishes leading prayers and departs for a funeral at the mosque. Since the pandemic, however, he has taken on a new role: identifying those in the Muslim community who need mental health support and referring them to clinical experts and therapists.
Across the United States, Muslim attitudes toward mental illness are changing, as is the role of the mosque. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Muslims have been more willing to engage in public conversations regarding mental health issues, including the taboo subject of suicide. Imams and religious leaders have responded to worsening mental health problems in a variety of ways, including by taking mental health training. Although limited, such training can be a first step toward imams becoming a crucial part of the solution to their community’s mental health needs.
“We are often the first responders to mental health crises, because there is a trust factor that was built over time, and because of the huge stigma within our community,” explains Mufti Farhan, a soft-spoken religious leader who grew up in New York...
Culturally Competent Care
Sarah Murad, a counselor at the Islamic Circle of North America’s humanitarian arm, has been providing culturally competent care to immigrant communities in Illinois, a state with the highest per-capita population of American Muslims in the U.S., many of whom are religious conservatives or recent immigrants. “By the time people come to seek our help, it is already too late because of the stigma [around mental health], so the first thing they ask for is a religious counselor,” Murad says. In such instances, she refers cases to Shaykh Omer Haqqani, who works at the Islamic Center of Wheaton and provides culturally relevant therapy and khutbahs, or sermons, about mental health across Illinois.
“Our faith tells us that it’s OK to be sad and express our emotions,” says Haqqani. He often cites the following story to those who seek his help: “When our prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lost his infant child—he was weeping, he was mourning, he was crying to the point where the companions came and asked him, ‘Even you, the prophet of God?’”...
For religious leaders, like Haqqani in Illinois and Farhan on Long Island, the shift toward seeking mental health care is happening at Islamic centers and mosques. Both men cite an expansion of the role Islamic centers play in the lives of community members. “For Muslims, one of the most important and effective venues to get information about mental health is at the mosque, and topics such as suicide and depression are now openly being addressed in khutbahs,” Haqqani shares...
Prevention, Not Reaction
[Dr. Rania] Awaad noticed how religious leaders tend to ask for intervention only after a crisis has occurred, and together with her team at Stanford University, she launched a campaign to train 500 Muslim leaders on suicide response.
Amara Kamara, a 53-year-old first-generation immigrant from Liberia, attended Awaad’s training in his capacity as a mental health advocate and administrator at Masjid Al-Ansar in Minnesota. He saw it as a “new experience” that allows him to “see how we can use community resources to have an open discussion about a difficult topic and tell the victims that it is OK to talk about it.”” -via Yes!

Cami imamı, cuma hutbesinde Atatürke dua etmeli mi?
Bu çok hassas bir konu. Bir çok Atatürk dostu cuma hutbelerinde Atatürke dua edilmesini istiyorlar, özelliklede 18 Mart Çanakkele zaferi , 30 Ağustos zafer Bayramı ve 29 Ekim Cumhuriyet Bayramına yakın gelen cuma günleri. İmamların bir çoğu anladığım kadarıyla Atatürk devrimlerine pek sıcak bakmıyorlar, yada öyle algılanıyor. Bir konuyu tartışmak için aşağıdaki konularda mutabık kalmalıyız.
1.Atatürk Dünyadaki bağımsızlık savaşlarına öncülük etmiş büyük bir askerdir.
2.Atatürk dinle toplumların yönetilmesine karşıdır ve bunun için ülkeye laikliği, yani dinin devletten ayrılmasını sağlamıştır.
3.Atatürkün inancını bilmiyoruz ama bir çok kaynaktan okuduklarıma göre, laik, bu kesin, özel olarakta muhtemelen Deist veya ataeist. Böyle biri için imam dua etmeli mi? Eskiden, Cuma hutbesinde bir kişinin isminin okunması o kişinin yönetiminin oralarda tanındığı anlamına gelirdi. Yönetime gelen hükümdarlar adlarına hutbe okutur ve sikke yani para bastırırlardı, bu İslami bir gelenektir. Atilla, Cengiz Han, Timur da Moğol veya Türk kökenliydiler, imamlar bunlar hakkında dua ederler mi? İnancı olmayan biri için dua edilir mi? Newton, Einstein veya Edison için dua edilir mi? İskender, Sezar veya Napoluon için papazlar dua eder mi?
Sonuç: Dini ve duayı Atatürke kadar uzatmaya gerek yok, o zaman anıtkabirden başlayıp, Atatürk heykellerini hatta laikliğe kadar sorgulamak gerekir. Elmayla armudu karıştırmıyalım, Atatürke , dua ile değil, saygı duruşu ile selamlıyalım.
Should the mosque imam pray to Atatürk in his Friday sermon?
This is a very sensitive issue. Many friends of Ataturk want prayers to be offered for Ataturk during Friday sermons, especially on Fridays close to the March 18th, the victory of the Turkish Republic, August 30th and October 29th, the Republic Day. I understand that most Imams are not very sympathetic to Ataturk's revolutions, or so it is perceived. In order to discuss an issue, we must agree on the following points.
1.Atatürk was a great soldier who led the wars of independence in the world.
2.Ataturk was against religion ruling societies and that is why he introduced secularism in the country, i.e. the separation of religion from the state.
3.We don't know Ataturk's faith, but according to what I have read from many sources, he is secular, that's for sure, in private probably Deist or atheist. Should the imam pray for such a person? In the old days, when a person's name was read in the Friday sermon, it meant that his rule was recognized there. Rulers who came to power used to have a khutba read in their name and coins minted in their name, this is an Islamic tradition. Attila, Genghis Khan, Timur were also of Mongolian or Turkish origin, do imams pray for them? Do they pray for someone who has no faith? Do they pray for Newton, Einstein or Edison? Do priests pray for Alexander, Caesar or Napoleon?
Conclusion: There is no need to extend religion and prayer to Ataturk, then it is necessary to question the statues of Ataturk and even secularism, starting from the Mausoleum. Let's not mix apples and oranges, let's greet Atatürk with a moment of silence, not prayer.

someday, your head will lay cradled on the lap of an imam who tells you that you pray with the same hands as your mother and recite with the same dedication as your father, and you will be that boy you were that day. wiping your tears as you clutch their prayer mats so your sorrows do not stain into the fabric. you will wipe your tears again, so they do not drip into his fabrics and he will kiss your head--- and he will tell you that your tears are not vessels for filth. and you will always be that boy who cries; with great love for all your anguish.

One of my favourite twitter accounts to follow is of this one Canadian gay reverend (@/revdaniel highly recommend) whether it's him posting about his day to day life with his husband and dog or eviscerating evangelicals who come at him with their queerphobia.
But I also think why don't *I* get to have the same thing, you know? Why are there no openly gay imams leading congregations that not only tolerate but embrace and celebrate queer identities? Offering readings and interpretations of the Quran that go beyond 'well you are sinning for being queer but God even loves sinners?' I haven't prayed in years but I would literally sprint to mosque if I had that. Why can't I - literally anywhere in any Muslim community??
