Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
I've been fasting recently, and really wanted to during the holidays but I got my period, I was really upset, still am tbh. I wanted to pray and fast as much as I can. Even though I made plans Allah is the best of planners, maybe Allah wanted me to rest. Inshallah I will still be able to fast for some days.
Considering RF Kuang herself is not Muslim, I just have to commend how excellent the South Asian Muslim rep in Babel was as it pertains to Ramy. Literally the first thing Ramy notes upon meeting Robin is how the only thing he can really eat in England is fish (see: most of the meat would not have been halal at the time). He also notes that he threw away the port that his sponsor gifted him. Like right off the get-go it's established that Ramy is practicing Muslim.
We get Ramy reading his Maghrib prayer at sunset. We also learns he is quite annoyed at being forced to go to Church lest he face expulsion, something that he repeatedly asks Allah for forgiveness for. He says inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un when [redacted] dies. He's fearful of staying out in the dark after Maghrib prayer because of jinn. Also, not once does Ramy actively put aside his religious values to fall into the plot. I believe they also talked about Ramy fasting for Ramadan at some point!
Kuang paid a lot of attention to the details to show practicing Muslim rep (which is very different than non-practicing rep). In fact, Kuang did Muslim rep way better than some actual Muslim authors do. I just have to admire it!

โข There are two types of guidance: Guidance of Taufiq which is solely from Allah ๏ทป and Guidance of Irshad which is guidance through dawah.
โข All three types of Tawhid are included: Tawhid Ar-Ruboobiyyah (oneness of divine Lordship), Tawhid Al-Uloohiyyah (oneness of divinity) and Tawhid Al-Asmaโ Waโs-Sifaat (oneness of the divine names and attributes).
โข โThe Opening of the Book, the Essence of the Qurโan, the seven oft-recited verses, the complete healing, the beneficial remedy, the perfect ruqyah, the key to independence of means and success, the preserver of strength, that wards off worry, distress, fear and grief, is for the one who appreciates its value and gives it its due, and tries to apply it in the proper manner to treat his sickness, and knows how to seek healing and treat sickness with it.โ -Ibn Al-Qayyim
Its Ramadan, and yes I know I'm 6 days late. Honestly, this year I have been debating on whether or not I should my 30 day Ramadan challenge and it seems a bit harder since I am working full-time and I'm 6 days late...
But! That does not mean I won't post at all. Inshallah, I will do my best to share my journey of reaching all of the goals listed above. Ramadan Mubarak to all and remember to keep the Muslim Ummah in your prayers ๐คฒ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ฟ๐

#polygamy - part 1
I fell into polygamy. It was never planned.
When it was announced to me by my recent husband that he was going to take back his previous wife, I did not know what to think but I certainly felt fear. Because polygamy is what you hear other sisters speak negatively about - despite the fact that most have never lived it.
And then I reminded myself, al-Qadar (pre-decree) is the secret of Allฤh.
And from the fundamentals of ฤชmฤn is to have true faith in pre-ordainment.
We trust the bus driver to take us to destination, pretty much without thinking, but we don't trust Allฤh Our Creator, to write the best of plans for us....?! So I have to trust that Allฤh has pre-ordained this for a good reason.
I thank Allฤh guided me to trust Him ุนุฒ ู ุฌู.
And I pray all sisters could as well, at least try, not to always fear polygamy, but rather at least consider it, ask Allฤh to help them through it.
Listen to what the mashaykh of Ahl-us-Sunnah have to say about it, ponder, take your time....Ask Allฤh to open your chest, before you make the decision.
sick and tired of reading books by brown writers that are just about pain and intergenerational trauma. sick and tired of the abusive uncles and the dead mothers. sick and tired of the white man whoโs the only one that makes the brown girl happy. sick and tired of the sexually repressed women, the culturally ingrained misogyny, the omnipresent racist abuse, the sinister family pasts. sick and tired of this revolving literary door of pain and anguish.
My life will be change now. I've talked with a friend and she is a Muslima. After all she decided that i need to become a Muslimah for her and that she started to teach me how to become a good and respectful Muslimah! She told me it will take time but with time, she said i will learn to accept and love to be a Muslimah for her!
From now on my blog will be dedicated completely to Muslimah, abaya, hijab, niqab

Talking directly to the reader, here are some things for you to know if you are interested in my blog:
I love interacting with content and following accounts, if anything you write, picture, reblog or draw falls into my current obsessions feel free to follow me.
I especially have a soft spot for blogs that make their own content be it bookblr, writblr or studyblr.
Iโm not stingy with my follow list, I follow back if the content you're posting is something that interests me.
I donโt mind like/heart spams, if anything I find them endearing.
Reblogs of my content are highly appreciated.
I am not comfortable following accounts that post/reblog nudity (occasional nudity in paintings does not count). So if you're that type of NSFW account pls donโt follow me, this is a SFW account.
I took these pictures myself. Some of these books are old, some were just poorly handled over the years, and all were thrifted across the second-hand stores of Dublin.
