Muslim Brothers, The Curse That Plagued The Ummah
Muslim Brothers, The Curse That Plagued The Ummah
By Hatim Hegab on February 25, 2026
Since the early turmoil caused by the Khawārij, no trial has afflicted the Muslim community as deeply as that posed by the group known as “the Muslim Brothers” – commonly, and in my view mistakenly, referred to as the “Muslim Brotherhood” or as they are known in Arabic, The Ikhwan. Ironically, in all their rallies, they raise copies of the Qur'an, just as the Khawarij did on the days of Ali ibn Abi Taleb.

Islamic Teachings: The Debt
Islamic Teachings: The Debt
By Hatim Hegab on February 23, 2026
Debt is part of everyday life. Islam has left nothing without teaching us how to handle or deal with it. Debt is among the most intricate issues as it involves rights for both parties, the lender and the borrower.

Transparency At Stillwater Islamic Center
Transparency At Stillwater Islamic Center
By Hatim Hegab on February 21, 2026
Transparency has been missing for years. Many members were kept in the dark, and questionable actions were committed that need answers. And as I heard a "brother" once scream inside the prayer hall: "We have rights".

Everyone Should Carry Their Responsibility
Everyone Should Carry Their Responsibility
By Hatim Hegab on February 8, 2026
In this hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) teaches us the true meaning of responsibility. In Islam, every person has a specific duty that they are accountable for and must uphold. Leaders have their own responsibilities and will be questioned by God about how they fulfilled them. Likewise, a man is responsible for his household—his wife and children—their food, clothing, education, upbringing, and religious guidance. Every member of society carries their own share of responsibility as well, according to their role and position.

Secrecy vs Transparency – Everyone Is Entitled To His Actions
By Hatim Hegab on February 6, 2026
On January 26, 2026, The AsSiddique Post received documented information indicating that many ongoing issues at the Islamic Center are not simply the result of personal differences, as previously assumed, but arise from deeper and more serious problems within the community.
