"Moman ke moh upar Nur adkera, jo bich raat uthe kare kamai. Raat ki Bandagi din me dise, ke karanhar ke Moho upper roshnai!! Kalame Mawla, verse:169

It means ‘a person has glow on the face who meditates during the night, and that meditation is seen during the day with face full of light'!!

The above verse from Kalame Mawla is imprinted in my mind forever as referred to the verse when I delivered Waez for the first time at the age of 12yrs. And meditation became my life force and I always wanted to research on spiritual part of human life and it's impact.

I come from a very religious family background, where Seeds of regular jamatkhana attendence and serving our Beloved Imam and the jamat were sown by my parents since childhood.
Due to the strong religious bond, I have always had a strong desire to be involved in our religion and the community. I started teaching in REC when I was in grade 6th and am still involved teaching till date.

I had been eager to learn to read Quran in Arabic since childhood and am currently attending Arabic classes to accomplish my dream. I am constantly cross examined about our tariqah practices by other Muslims, however there are times its difficult to explain to them. And it became a subject of my research.

I practiced Alternate medicine with herbs, ayurveda medicines, acupressure, homeopathy etc. and my main method of treatment was meditation to provide patients with best possible treatments. Serving humanity was always my priority in life. However, around 2005 I felt the need to change my career as I felt depressed due to treating so many people in pain regularly.

...for spiritual search, cross question by otherMuslims, Interpretations of Quran has all lead me on a journey to GPISH.
And so for accomplishing my goal GPISH at IIS is the best option as I can study about Islam, Ismailism in depth through research, seminars and lectures. I would love to grow with my classmates through education right from orientation to academic excursion to Cairo and Spain.

Given a chance to study at IIS I would consider it as an honour because of the calibre of faculty, its reputation as an institution and the my fellow students.

After graduation I would take up Islamic Studies at Master level and I am looking forward to becoming a professor for Islamic Studies at IIS. I want to impart knowledge on Islam in context with Ismailism and bring forth the beautiful face of Islam, a religion of peace, prosperity, brotherhood, architecture and poetry.

  • People Wearing Turbans are Stereotyped as Terrorist

    The way Muslims have been treated after the 9/11 incident is very different than before. Before 9/11 there was certainly some discrimination towards Muslim Americans, but after the attacks happened, between the years 2000 and 2001, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported a 1,700 percent increase of hate crimes against Muslim Americans (Khan & Ecklund, 2012). “While trying to adapt to the outcome of 9/11, Muslim Americans dealt with an increase in negative stereotypes spoken by the common culture, and Muslim immigrants faced more negative attitudes than any other immigrant group” (Khan & Ecklund, 2012). Since the 9/11 attacks, people who dress with a substantial resemblance to Muslims worry about the upcoming hatred and unfriendliness from people of other ethnicities (Khan & Ecklund, 2012). While listening to the media, one can hear reports of negative stereotypes towards people who resemble the Muslim religion, which may be assumed that these people are violent. Negative attitudes that Muslim Americans experience may have detrimental effects on their success in America and their success of achieving the American Dream.

  • Islam in America

    2522 Words  | 6 Pages

    Islam in America has historically been misunderstood, and this is due to the misconception of culture and religion as well as lack of education and incorrect portrayal in the media, which gives a skewed idea of Islam. Especially in the United States, Islam has been seen as the “terrorist religion” or a religion for the extremists and a religion in which freedom is not an option. Among the countless misconceptions, the basis of stereotypes by Americans is due to the mix up between religion and culture. Furthermore, the media only fuels fire to these misunderstandings and lack of factual information about Islam causing Americans to lash out on American Muslims without reason.

  • Islamophobia: Muslims and Terrorism

    1154 Words  | 3 Pages

    After 9/11 has induced negative attitudes towards Muslim peoples who tend to be strongly associated with any act of terrorism. The media has played a colossal role in developing such negative association wherein it constantly portrays Muslim people in combination with violent terrorist acts. It does so in a way that they both go hand-and-hand. In other words, it has made it as though the Islamic religion is synonymous with terrorism. The media has perpetuated Muslim stereotypes over the years that followed the 9/11 incident. Because of this, society has developed, and still has developed, this prejudiced mindset about the Islamic religion and the Muslim communities around the world. People immediately assume that any violent act being depicted through the media is the direct result of Muslims. They automatically generate this idea that the act was performed by a Muslim terrorist even when they were not involved whatsoever. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Islamic religion and its Muslim adherents are at the top of societies’ agenda just waiting for the evidence to be generated so that they can then safely blame them for such world affairs. Again, this has led to the attack on the Islamic religion itself wherein people have come to postulate Islam as an act of oppression, violence and hatred towards non-Muslims. Anti-Muslim sentiments and campaigns have resulted from such misinformation the media has been generating and feeding its viewers.
