Book Description
America's Other Muslims: Imam W.D. Mohammed, Islamic Reform, and the Making of American Islam explores the oldest and perhaps the most important Muslim community in America, whose story has received little attention in the contemporary context. Muhammad Fraser-Rahim explores American Muslim Revivalist, Imam W.D. Mohammed (1933–2008) and his contribution to the intellectual, spiritual, and philosophical thought of American Muslims as well as the contribution of Islamic thought by indigenous American Muslims. The book details the intersection of the Africana experience and its encounter with race, religion, and Islamic reform. Fraser-Rahim spotlights the emergence of an American school of Islamic thought, which wascreated and established by the son of the former Nation of Islam leader. Imam W.D. Mohammed rejected his father’s teachings and embraced normative Islam on his own terms while balancing classical Islam and his lived experience of Islam in the diaspora. Likewise his interpretations of Islam were not only American – they were also modern and responded to global trends in Islamic thought. His interpretations of Blackness were not only American, but also diasporic and pan-African.

Book Description
Without Forgetting the Imam is an ethnographic study of the religious life of the Lebanese Shi'ites of Dearborn, Michigan, the largest Muslim community outside of the Middle East. Based on four years of fieldwork, this book explores how the Lebanese who have emigrated, most in the past three decades, to the United States, have adapted to their new surroundings. Anthropologist Linda Walbridge delves into the ways in which politics and religion have converged as the Lebanese Shi'i community has remade its identity and accommodated itself to a new environment. She captures a broad picture of religious life within the realm of community living and within the mosques which have proliferated in Dearborn. Walbridge explains how Shi'ites, affected in one way or another by Islamic revivalism, have brought different notions of how their religion should be expressed and carried out in America. These differences are reflected in mosque rituals, social functions, sermons, and educational activities. She also explores how contemporary Middle Eastern politics and the religious leadership in Iran and Iraq influence the functioning of the mosques.

Book Description
An American imam offers answers for today's toughest questions about Islam, and a vision for a reconciliation between Islam and the West. One of the pressing questions of our time is what went wrong in the relationship between Muslims and the West. Continuing global violence in the name of Islam reflects the deepest fears by certain Muslim factions of Western political, cultural, and economic encroachment. The solution to the current antagonism requires finding common ground upon which to build mutual respect and understanding. Who better to offer such an analysis than an American imam, someone with a foot in each world and the tools to examine the common roots of both Western and Muslim cultures; someone to explain to the non-Islamic West not just what went wrong with Islam, but what's right with Islam. Focused on finding solutions, not on determining fault, this is ultimately a hopeful, inspiring book. What's Right with Islam systematically lays out the reasons for the current dissonance between these cultures and offers a foundation and plan for improved relations. Wide-ranging in scope, What's Right with Islam elaborates in satisfying detail a vision for a Muslim world that can eventually embrace its own distinctive forms of democracy and capitalism, aspiring to a new Cordoba - a time when Jews, Christians, Muslims, and all other faith traditions will live together in peace and prosperity.

Book Description
This book is my memoir statement to the world regarding my times as an American Imam over the span of three decades. It sheds light on the seemingly mysterious Muslim Faith for non-Muslim inquirers seeking to understand the Muslim religion in America. In the world we live in today, Islam is center-stage when it comes to such things as terrorism. This memoir will help Americans understand the difference between American Muslims and Foreign Muslims. Knowing this difference will help bridge the gap in the lack of understanding between us American Muslims and our fellow neighbors and countrymen. The memoir addresses much more than this as it 'unveils' American Muslim Culture via the careful astute lens of a dedicated American Imam. It chronicles my whacky suspense-filled journey through Muslim Ministry. It is full of anecdotal accounts that stir a range of important emotions inside the reader. You will surely cry, laugh, and sigh in disbelief at some of the juicier accounts that it contains. I left no emotion untouched and I completely lowered the water-line on Muslim Ministry in America for all to behold. This will undoubtedly anger the power-structure, but I consider this work to be my final act of service to a dying American Faith Community. The people of America deserve to know who we are as American Muslims. In these days of radical interpretations of Islam abroad, our countrymen deserve to hear from us here on the ground with them. What are our opinions about America as Muslim Americans? How are our neighbors to differentiate us from what they see reflected for them on the news regularly? What goes on inside the closed mosque-communities of America? Is there anything to fear going on inside American Mosques? In the memoir, I hit upon many of these themes and more. The memoir seeks to champion the cause of the forgotten inside our American Mosques: The women and the youth. It addresses the current challenges Muslim American Women face at their mosques. It addresses the hypocrisy of the Muslim Culture that troubles today's Muslim Youth. This memoir unveils Islam in America via the voice of an American Imam himself with full and direct knowledge regarding the pressing issues before us all. It is penned with two goals in mind: 1) Advocacy for the voiceless and 2) Interfaith. I sincerely hope that the ideas that I have shared provoke change where change is required from our American Mosques. Also, I hope that this memoir provokes understanding between the American Muslim Community and all other American Communities. If you're in for a roller coaster ride of a story, and yearn to understand more about American Muslims, or are a Muslim Woman who feels like the 'cultural' walls of Islam are caving down upon you, or a young Muslim being chased out of Islam by harmful cultural examples at the mosque and even in your homes; read this book in good health. And may the Good Lord upon High ﷻ Bless you all, and may He Bless the United States of America! Ibrahim Rahim
