Ilma Magazine - Winter 2016

In this issue

2016 has been an eventful year, a year filled with accomplishments and disappointments. What stood out the most is this shift in political rhetoric, where it has become more direct, but certainly not progressive. Our outward and inward identity came under question - Is the Islamic headcover ‘hijab’ oppressive?” “Does Islam promote violence?” Definitely not, and because of changes and major problems in international relations, the Muslim community across the globe is persistently challenged by the mainstream media and politics. In spite of the challenges we face, our deen (religion) teaches us how to deal with fear, hatred and prejudice.
