Tagged: autism families son dr. dina eletreby

Autism is a form of pervasive developmental disorder with an unknown origin inflicting families of all racial, ethnic, socio-economic and religious backgrounds.
Prior to the 1980s, the term “Autism” was primarily thought to be rare, affecting approximately one in every 2,000 children. As of 2006, the numbers rose to an outstanding one in 110 children and one in 70 boys.

Muslim families are not immune from its impact and often feel lonely and challeneged. @Heart is honored by sitting with and having a warm and open discussion with Dr. Dina Eletreby on her personal journey as a determined mother to ensure that her loving son Kareem gets the best services available.

We are all interconnected to everything and everyone and can thus influence and be influenced, perhaps in ways we have not yet grasped scientifically. Read More

Tagged: lower your gaze ogling double standards hijab gazing modesty
Al-Marayati and other Muslim-Americans say that ogling is one of the biggest yet least-talked about problems in their communities. Among the worst offenders, they say, are self-styled morality police who are quick to reproach women for how they dress, yet ignore the mandate from the Quran to keep their eyes to themselves.

The result is a double standard that not only discriminates against women and is inconsistent with the Quran's guidance to "lower their gaze and be modest," critics say, but contributes to the objectification of women that Islam was supposed to eliminate.

Tagged: clinic downtown los angeles healthcare american muslims ucla

The UMMA Clinic was initially established as an idea by several UCLA American Muslim students who saw a dire need for health care center after the Los Angeles riots of 1992. Aware that 51% of the area’s adult target population has no medical insurance at all, exceeding the county average of 31%, they opted to build something that would benefit the community and in turn they found themselves uplifting the American Muslim identity.

@Heart sits with Yasser Aman (CEO and President) of the UMMA Clinic for a personal reflection exploring the early challenges and triumphs: its opening, its possible closure and its achievements.

UMMA has been recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives as a beacon of hope making outstanding contributions to American society by American Muslims. Read More
