Salam alaykum and peace be upon you all.
The Muslim ummah finds itself in a very interesting situation today. With a huge diaspora in western countries, Muslims around the world are trying to balance their western culture and Islamic faith. They are composed of hundreds of ethnicities, several different races and speak a multitude of languages- yet the common denominator between all of them is the deen of Islam. This being the case, now more than ever there is a need for Muslims living in the West to be united- under this one collectivity called the "Ummah". This, in essence, is the purpose of our blog- to promote the unity of adherents to Islam in the West and to confront and discuss the various challenges we are facing trying to balance deen and dunya in these turbulent times.

I wonder whether the idea of a a modern umma is overrated. The reality is that there are millions who have inherited some kind of cultural Islam with an often scant reflection of its values.
