Keeping It Wise "Is African-American a Misnomer"?

Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,

As-salaamu `alaikum,

Here is the second episode for "Keeping It Wise". This episode has been released early because I wanted to show consistency and get a feel of the new style of the videos.

I talk briefly and in 2 minutes the issue of race and how Islam deals with it.

Please comment here and give me your feedback.

Free Muslim Youth Hotline

Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,

When I did the Ask Baba Ali series, I received nearly 2000 questions as potential topics for the show. Unfortunately, our resources are limited and only 8 episodes were promised for the season and Alhamdulillah completed. I recently came across a great service which is a basically Muslim Youth Hotline which is not only free but confidential as well. Sometimes you need to talk to someone and Alhamdulillah some good brothers have put this together. There are many knowledgeable councilors that may be able to help you and since you're anonymous, you can feel comfortable.

Here is the number

1-800-550-MYHL (6945)

Suggestions for Topics for "Keeping It Wise"?

Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,

As-salaamu `alaikum,

Alhamdulillah, so far the responses for my new vlog series "Keeping It Wise" have been overall positive. My videos like I said before are in the "thought of the day" format and it aimed at both non-Muslim and Muslim audiences. I try to keep it under 3 minutes and keep the points short and simple.

I just finished an episode dealing with the issue of racism and how Islam deals with this issue. The episode will be titled "Is African-American a Misnomer"?

I would like to ask the readers and viewers if they have any suggestions for topics I should cover in "Keeping It Wise". There are many issues that I believe must be discussed and I want people here to give me there feedback.

Also, please make sure that if there is any advice or criticism, please express them here.

So please post your suggestions in the comments for this post.

was-salaam,

Mahdi Ahmad
