The Islam for the Rest of Us Experience

New Convert Muslims & Arab Born Non-Praying Muslims Virtual Meet & Workshop Class | Plug Into Allah

Who is this online Muslim young adult group for, which meets this week to explore Islam and grow? For independent thinkers. For those who know religion and praying/connecting with God is more than just 5 daily prayers/salah. Most importantly, for those who do not conform.

Cultural Muslims, you've found your home in Islam for the Rest of Us.

"Into the Night," the bright gold and midnight black label sparkled on the bottle of fragrance. One whiff. One whiff and it takes me back.

Finest of fine wine. Sweetest of sweet Moscato. One sip. One taste. The one whiff instantly takes me back to a dark midnight sky, concrete and asphalt streets, neon signs, reverberating bass, and sweaty bodies gyrating together in the smallest of spaces.

The bodies. The booze. The music. I miss going out, into the night, with the buzz of potential in my veins that anything could happen. The new faces - potential would bubble inside me - maybe a stranger would finally take me home. Only a handsome stranger, though. "Maybe, just one of these men will choose me," I would think.

This is the end. This is the end of where you can relate to my story, because unlike me, you used to wear to Sunday brunch a black sundress with a deep slit that hinted at your bear, panty-less wiles, so he could hit it from the back. He being your baby daddy as you and your selected lover choose to go raw. Hard liquor and a hard joint were mixed with hard sex for you before the fast life became empty. Now, you are embarking on a spiritual journey - a walk with God.

But our tales do yet intertwine. Not always out of rebellion - parties, hookups, substance use - often out of survival and trauma. Whatever the reason, you and I are now emotionally drained, spiritually curious, and craving a sense of meaning.

What is the purpose of life? Have you stopped to consider the last Abrahamic religion? Have you taken time to search and talk to a person of knowledge of what is the purpose of life according to Islam? No time like the present. I am here for you this Monday and Thursday, to explore and unburden yourself as we navigate those questions together. It's free and you get a free electronic book out of it too.
