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 broad coalition of multifaith clergy
leaders on March 24, 2026, in a press conference, on the steps of the Michigan State Capitol, calling for
an end to the presence and expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in
Michigan. Faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other traditions gathered to draw what Imam Elturk
described as “a line in the sand,” urging lawmakers and government officials to protect immigrant
communities and uphold human dignity.
