Eid Mubarak to all my fellow brothers and sisters! May all of your hard work and good deeds are accepted 💖

oct-dec 2022, months full of growth

There’s a perception that the unmarried woman is not so by choice, she is often an object of pity.

No darling, I could have been married 10 x over but I refuse to settle at the detriment of my basic needs and choose peace above this.

Basic needs according to Islam:

- On deen

- Provider as oppose to a liability rishta

- Able to provide separate living space

And I realized it was something that I missed and wanted to get back into. To have the ability to track my moods and progress in life, to preserve memories and vent in a what has been a safe environment for my poetry and my art in the past. What triggered this inspiration to start again was that I made the conscious decision to “clean up” my life in every way possible. First I found faith, I converted to Islam very recently and being more in touch with my creator has made me feel happy. I’ve cleansed my diet, switching to a 1700 calorie meal plan and starting an exercise journey which has already led me to lose 5.4 lbs. I also cleansed my friends circle, I stopped putting any effort into anyone who I felt didn’t return my efforts and left me feeling as if they only wanted to be my friend to get something out of the situation. Basically, the formula has been that if it doesn’t feed my soul, doesn’t bring good in my life or distracts me from Allah or my good habits…it must go. I’m proud of myself for making these decisions and choosing me for the first time. I feel like a lot of my unhappiness was from seeking validation from others and not accepting their behavior for what it was, not calling out unfairness and mistreatment. I no longer make excuses for people or for myself. I think the greatest thing I’ve ever done for myself is to start to believe in myself and take the time for self improvement and self reflection. I will document it all here, for myself, and for anyone else who may be wondering if they are the only ones who struggle to put themselves first.

for my sisters who can't pray during the days of hajj

my dearest sister,

your efforts are still valid. all ten days still remain just as blessed as when you were praying. please don't let this precious time pass you by. seize every opportunity.

here are some ideas to (hopefully) help:

1. azkaar- just because you can't pray or read the quran doesn't mean you can't keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah ﷻ and durood upon our blessed prophet ﷺ. the best zikr on the day of arafah is

لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، بيده الخير وهو على كل شيء قدير

another great zikr to constantly recite is

سبحان الله والحمد لله، لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر.

additionally, you can recite the takbeers of the days of tashreeq abundantly.

2. duasss- this is the perfect opportunity to make all the duas you forget to make when you're praying. in place of praying nawaafil, spend an hour and a half asking Allah ﷻ for every little thing you can think of. pray for forgiveness, divine mercy, barakah, goodness in this life and the next, all your needs and wants. be sure to keep the hujjaaj in your duas as well as the entire ummah. and if you remember, please pray for me as well

3. cleaning- if you can get it done when you aren't praying, that'll leave more time for other ibadah when you are. plus, cleaning is a huge part of faith, so you're still receiving rewards!

4. cooking- or any type of meal prep. if you can't fast, still reap the reward of fasting by giving someone else food or drink by which they may break their fast. as the hadith goes, whoever breaks someone else's fast receives the full reward, without taking away anything from the fasting persons reward (أو كما قال ﷺ)

5. studying- build a deeper connection with the quran by brushing up on some tafsir, or if you'd rather, delve into a new aspect of islamic knowledge. educate yourself about the story and teachings of sayyiduna ibrahim ﷺ and learn about the final hajj of our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

6. quran- and on that note, your ears aren't impure. you can definitely listen to lots of recitation and get a feel for which qiraah style you are most drawn to

7. sins- just because you cannot pray doesn’t mean you should unpause any sins you are abstaining from during these days. stay away from sins at all costs and try to make a firm intention to uproot them completely from your life going forward

8. good character-this isn't a break from trying to be your absolute best self. keep up with the good habits you've been trying to instill within yourself and try your best not to revert back to any bad habits just because you aren't fasting

9. sadaqa-with eid just around the corner, this is the perfect opportunity to give charity. remember, every cent you donate is being multiplied many many times so be as generous as possible, and remember: even smiling is a form of sadaqa!

10. help someone in need-whether a family member, friend, or a complete stranger, try to help at least one person each day. perhaps such a dua will escape their heart and reach the throne of Allah ﷻ that will complexly change your life.

“If one is unable to fast due to menstruation or due to sickness but had the intention to fast, Allaah Ta'aala will reward them as though they fasted.” (Mufti Muajul I. Chowdhury)

so just remember: you are a daughter of adam ﷺ and Allah ﷻ has chosen this for you. there is definitely khair in that which the Creator ﷻ has decreed for His ﷻ beloved creation

Finally watched Ms. Marvel. I waited almost a week because I was scared of being disappointed. I've always loved superheroes and comics, but they were always white dudes and I didn't know if Disney would ruin the character.

Well Ms. Marvel was amazing. This Pakistani American woman waited 43 years to see herself. I cried.

Representation matters.

Not my mom's friend wanting to talk to me about something because I haven't been seeing her nor wanting to see her because she and her husband aren't my relatives so like I couldn't care less about their unnecessary gossiping🙄 like I already know its gonna be some islamophobic or ableist shit and I'm not gonna tolerate that. These boomers dont understand that I know my rights as an autistic person and as a muslim woman and she will be mad because of that.
