Allah (SWT) says: “By the soul and the One who fashioned it,
and inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness. Indeed,
successful is the one who purifies it, and disappointed is the one
who corrupts it.” [al-Shams, 91:7–10]
In Sūrah al-Shams, Allah swears by some of His greatest
creations—the sun, the moon, the day, the night, the heavens, and the earth—before concluding with a powerful truth
about the human soul. These divine oaths are meant to
capture our attention and emphasize what truly matters: the
state of our souls.
Ramadan Mubarak and Kareem to you and your loved ones. “O you who believe, fasting has been ordained for you, just as it was ordained for those before you, so that you
may grow in Taqwa.” [Al-Baqarah, 2:183] On behalf of myself and IONA, I extend my warmest wishes for a blessed and spiritually fulfilling
Ramadan. Allah (SWT) has once again honored us with the arrival of Ramadan — the month of the Qur’an,
the month of mercy, the month of transformation. Ramadan is not merely about abstaining from food and drink; it is about disciplining the soul, guarding the tongue, softening the heart, and renewing our covenant with Allah. It is a month in which sins are forgiven, duʿa’ is answered, and even a single night — Laylat al-Qadr — is better than a lifetime of worship.
[WARREN, MI] – Imam Steve Mustapha Elturk, President of the Islamic Organization of North America (IONA) and Co-Chair of the Imams Council of Michigan, joined a coalition of faith leaders alongside Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard on Thursday, March 19, to strongly denounce antisemitism and all forms of hate. This gathering comes in the wake of the recent active shooting at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township. On March 12, 2026, the day of the incident, the Imams Council of Michigan and IONA issued press releases condemning the attack in the strongest terms and expressing solidarity with the Jewish community.
