    Drive-thru iftars and coronavirus task forces: How Muslims are observing obligations to the poor this Ramadan
    (The Conversation US, 2020-05-06) Siddiqui, Shariq; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    Many of the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims are experiencing the holy month of Ramadan differently this year – disrupted by social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As a scholar of Muslim philanthropy, I have watched as people and institutions have adapted practices to accommodate social distancing rules. I have also observed how the crisis has exposed the vulnerability of Muslim nonprofits.

    Muslim Roots: The Origins of Islam in Indiana
    (Indiana Historical Society Press, 2018) Curtis, Edward E., IV
    Hoosiers have been practicing Islamic religion for more than a century, but the story of Islam's foundations in Indiana is largely unknown among the state's Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Between World War I and World War II, Islam became an organized religion whose religious institutions were governed by Indiana law. African American, Arab American, and South Asian American Hoosiers, both immigrants and native born, founded Muslim groups that subscribed to decidedly different interpretations of Islamic religion. They created religious congregations, started Islamic-themed businesses, and formed communities of mutual support that sometimes crossed ethnic lines and at other times acted as ethnic enclaves. Despite their differences--perhaps because of their differences--it was during the interwar era that Islam became a Hoosier religion with multiple denominational identities and institutional forms.

    Racialized minorities, trust, and crisis: Muslim- American nonprofits, their leadership and government relations during COVID-19
    (Wiley, 2022) Noor, Zeeshan; Wasif, Rafeel; Siddiqui, Shariq; Khan, Sabith; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    The COVID‐19 pandemic disproportionately affects already‐vulnerable minorities, highlighting the need for strong, trusting relationships between governments and minority nonprofits for everyone's benefit. The current scholarship suggests minority members often lack trust in government. This study contributes to the field by examining trust levels Muslim‐American nonprofits have for federal, state, and local government. Nearly two‐thirds (65%) of Muslim nonprofit leaders believe that they may be discriminated against in the award of CARES Act funding, but on racial rather than religious ones. Moreover, partisanship affects trust levels. Muslim nonprofits in Republican “red” states show less trust in government compared with those in Democratic “blue” states. This study finds evidence that past relationships with the government strengthen trust. Past awards of government grants correlated positively with higher trust at both federal and local levels.
