Editors Letter

Asalamu Alaykum Dar Al-Hijrah Blog readers,

I know we have been missing in action. As I’m writing this I’m thinking of all the amazing events that have happened and the grand moments that occurred last year. I’m scrolling through my social media and seeing all the fliers of events to come. We have been going through a lot of changes. The community has a lot to talk about and the creativity, talent, imagination, and accomplishments need to be acknowledged. We’re happy to say we’re back in action and we want to hear from you! There is simply no community like the Dar Al-Hijrah community. Everyone is paying attention and it’s the time to tell your story! We will begin our Get To Know You and the Humans of DAH series, where we will be writing about the members of our staff, community, and volunteers. We will also be writing about the different departments’ work. Putting a spotlight on the many members of our community. We want you to get to know the amazing people that you pray beside. We want you to be a part of it! If you’re interested in publishing an article, poem, short story, or video on our blog please feel free to contact us! Have topic ideas? Send them our way! It’s time we take control of our own narrative.

We will be keeping you engaged in the conversation and details on the behind the scenes of events and the people who work tirelessly in times we aren’t there to acknowledge them. That is what this community is all about: unity, strength, diversity, family, and service for one cause. The cause to please Allah. I hope you subscribe and get informed on your fellow brothers and sisters. Let us move forward together and continue to be rooted in faith and growing in service.
