Editorial:
Every Muslim should self-reflect and ask him(her)self whether they are truly following the spirit of what UMMAH really means in their day to day life ? Our loving Prophet envisioned GLOBAL UMMAH to be way beyond get together of Muslims during weekly Friday prayers and both Idd festivals.
As Muslims, we need to continually strive to reach out and help as many people as we can.
It is not true that only money is the main instrument to help others. There are many other ways to assist people. The most important aspect of any assistance is the INTENTION (niyat) that starts from the heart.
Towards this end, I would like to reach out and assist others to the best of my ability. This blog's main focus is on assisting foreign students who may be interested to climb up the ladder of higher education in the United States.
I humbly appeal to all prospective students to e-mail me if they have any questions relating to pursuing higher education in the US.
DISCLAIMER: I would like to make it clear that I am not an "expert" to give professional advice as a career counselor, but I definitely could provide you with information that could be of help to facilitate your goal of pursuing higher education in the US.
If any of you are interested to pursue Social Work, then of course, that is my speciality & "piece of cake" and I will be glad to give extensive details on above professional field. However if you have questions relating to other subjects, I can refer you to appropriate sources of information or contacts to the best my ability.
If you have any other questions relating to your higher education, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you decide to come to my favorite city ST. LOUIS - GATEWAY TO THE WEST, I will do my best to personally receive you at the airport and assist you in your settlement, inshallah.

Inshallah I will do my best to reach out to closest MUSLIM STUDENTS ASSOCIATION and alert them of your visit in which ever city of the US that you may arrive. The extent of their ability to help is not in my hands, but I would appeal to them to extend all possible help. To me, reaching out to help all new brothers and sisters is truly a demonstration of UMMAH IN ACTION.
I appeal to all members of MUSLIM STUDENTS ASSOCIATION and the SOCIAL SERVICE COMMITTEE OF ALL MASJIDS/ ISLAMIC CENTERS spread across the United States to join me in assisting and welcoming our new brothers and sisters to the United States. One man cannot do it all. It needs a co-ordinated team effort under the umbrella of ONE UMMAH.
So brothers and sisters who intend to pursue higher education in the US, if you have a question, please ask me. Remember that NO question is a silly question. Feel free to ask me any question pertaining to higher education in the United States.
Although, at the present time, I have fulfilled the American dream and living a comfortable life, I cannot forget that I too started off my life in the United States initially as a foreign student coming to St. Louis as a complete stranger with NO friend or relative to help me initially.
I owe my success first to the blessings of Almighty Allah and next to this great country of America. It is here in the U.S, that I found the TRUE ISLAM and I believe in actions, the US is literally one of the most Islamic countries in the world. Forgive me for my bias, but I believe that my fellow Americans are the most tolerant and broadminded people in the world and I LOVE THEM TO DEATH.
I pray that as Almighty Allah fulfilled my educational and career dreams, He also fulfills your educational and career dreams too.
If I can be of any help, please do not hesitate to e-mail me with your questions.
Following the true spirit of UMMAH, I am your brother who is waiting to have an opportunity to assist you.
