The Cost of Food
David Rutledge of ABC Radio National interviewed me, amongst others, regarding the cost of food in the modern world. "With food prices rising around the world, millions are threatened with deprivation and starvation.

Unveiling Hijab
I recently launched my first book, on the topic of the head-veil (commonly referred to as hijab) and the proofs of its obligatory nature in Islam.
The book is specifically aimed to dispel the assertion that Hijab is not obligatory, when infact it is explicitly obligatory. The book is not about judging those who may choose not wear the hijab, or to suggest that there are attire codes for women only in Islam. The book came out as a result of false information being circulated about the nature of Hijab.
You may purchase the book from here.
