So Lupe sells out (on Islam) like every other Muslim rapper who has made it to the mainstream. What am I talking about? His lyrics are still conscious right? Yes they are, but today (it was aired today) Lupe did what Q-tip did with his Vibrant thing video. He performed on stage at BET’s Spring Bling Event in Palm Beach, FL with 10 chicks in bikinis. Mad haraam.

Muslim youth need to wake up. Mos Def, Q-tip, Lupe nor anyone else will represent Islam properly. They are selling themselves for money. All of this comes with the territory. It would be a shame for Muslim organizations like IMAN to call Lupe back to perform at their annual event.

In an effort to gain support for his children’s freedom from slavery, the newly freed American slave Abdul Rahman once wrote out what was supposed to be the Lord’s Prayer in Arabic.

Years later, it was discovered that he had actually written out Surah Al-Fatihah, the opening chapter of the Qur’an.

After forty years of crushing servitude in a strongly Christian land, this former African prince still remained faithful to Allah, with the memory of His words still in his heart and mind.
