Alhamdulillah, the new Ijtema.net site has finally been launched!

What you have to look forward to:

Jazakallah khair to Shazia Mistry for working on the web design, and Teakster for his efforts with the new Ijtema logo.

New video content thanks to a collaboration with HalalTube.com.

Coverage of the Islamic Arts scene by Teakster.

I will also be making serious use of my iPod to keep you up-to-date with the latest Islamic podcasts, inshā’Allāh.

• The Ijtema Photo Contest

You can finally satiate your curiosity, as the winners have been announced!

There is actually more to come for the site, which we will unveil in good time. But for now, enjoy the new features, and please give us your feedback via this link (comments are closed on this post, as encouragement!).

Snow… in April?!

I woke up for the Dawn prayer this morning to find it snowing. I've heard of April showers… but not April snow!

The weather in London has been extremely diverse these past few days: it was the hottest day of the year so far on Friday, dull and overcast with rain yesterday (typical April weather) and today… well, you can see for yourself!

I just published the second installment of the newly launched Nisaa podcast series.

In this episode I chat to sister Na'ima B Robert – editor of SISTERS magazine, and author of From My Sisters' Lips.

Check it out, and give me your lubly feedback at the Nisaa site. Jazakallah khair in advance.

While In Rome…

Or in this case, South Kensington.

Gosh, i missed London. Not smelly East London, where i live. Real London… the beautiful architecture, the museums, the universities, the posh folks, the suits, the random tourists… I missed it all! So, after i submitted my thesis (i've written that phrase so many times today, in numerous e-mails and text messages!), i popped into the Victoria & Albert Museum on my way home, to check out their Islamic Middle Eastern art exhibit.

I apologize for the poor photo quality. It was an unplanned visit, so i only had my camera phone, and add to that low lighting = noisy, grainy pics… but maybe it'll inspire you to see the real thing for yourself! Entry to the museum is free, alhamdulillah. Except for my foreign readers, who may have to pay for the airfare to come over to London. {wink}
