Thank you.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

American Muslim Voice Foundation was founded in July 2003, by American Muslims, to work for and with all Americans. We are a grassroots movement based on the simple idea that stronger American communities serve the interests of all Americans.
We deeply believe in fostering friendships among all Americans by bridging the cultural and religious gap. Every day, we promote new relationships and nurture old ones because our country’s safety, security and peace depend on our getting to know each other

(7-20-2024) - My NEW article in today's Woodland California Newspaper: Faith and science: A unified vision of God’s creation | Clergy Corner
By KHALID SAEED | National President American Muslim Voice
UPDATED: July 20, 2024 at 10:33 a.m.
About two years ago, I intended to submit this article to the newspaper but struggled to effectively convey my points. Instead, I hastily wrote and submitted three different articles for my 3 assignments. After extensive reflection, research, and multiple drafts, I finally completed my article "Faith and Science: A Unified Vision of God’s Creation," demonstrating that thoughtful examination, similar to scientific inquiry, uncovers clear signs of an intelligent God.

As Muslims, we believe that humanity is the creation of one God, endowed with unique qualities and needs. Our journey on Earth is guided by divine wisdom transmitted through the Prophets Adam, Noah…
