Today our friend and protector of the community Amin Abdullah was martyred at the Islamic Center of San Diego along with 2 other community members. He was murdered by racist teenagers. He was the lead security guard of the mosque for years. There is an elementary school at the mosque and no students or teachers were injured despite two shooters attacking the Mosque and school. Brother Amins last Facebook post read, “What is success?To many people success is financial stability,good reputation,beauty,etc.
As for ME! Wallahi,thumma Wallahi.It is returning back to Allah OUR creator with the same pure soul he loaned me at birth.
Having the Mala’ikah of Allahu ta’ala saying
“don’t fear and don’t grieve,but receive the glad tidings of Jannah which you were promised by the Most forgiving and Most Merciful”.May Allahu ta’ala grant us Husnal Khatimah,AAAAMEEEEN🤲”

May Allah bless him with acceptance as a martyr and grant him the highest stations in jannah

What does it mean to pray on land whose peoples have been its sacred stewards for thousands of years?

That question became the Salish Sea Collection. 500+ rugs sold. $100K+ in philanthropic support. 100+ institutions ready to receive.

This is what Muslim civic life looks like.

Order a rug. Support the placement program. Link in bio 🔗

Muslims pray five times a day. That's 1,825 times a year.

In hospitals, shelters, jails, and libraries across North America; there is often nowhere to do this with dignity.

The Salish Sea Prayer Rug Collection is changing that. Three years in the making, designed with Coast Salish Indigenous artists, handcrafted in Konya, Turkey, and going directly into the public institutions where it's needed most.

Order yours. Fund one for someone who can't. Link in bio 🔗

The history of Islam in the Americas didn't begin with conquest, but through the courage of those who broke their chains. Our roots here are intertwined with African and Indigenous resistance against colonial violence. To understand Islam in this land, we must look at it as an indigenous spiritual practice passed down through generations.
