Motherhood is *not* the essence of being a woman. If you've been granted offspring, know that they don't define you despite the popular perception that they do. You are still you. Don't lose yourself.
Lower your expectations of others or better still, have zero expectations. That way you’re less likely to get hurt or disappointed. Rely on none other than the One who made you. Ask from none other than Him. Keep asking. Pray. Your prayers can’t be answered if you don’t pray!
Eid Mubarak everyone! May Allah accept your supplications, sacrifices, and good deeds in these blessed days. May He reward fully all those who intended to do Hajj, and facilitate it for us in the future. Ameen
Healing is important. But I’m not doing the appropriated healing vigils or letters that are being used to shut down clear calls for justice. We can’t heal without dealing with the wound. And police can’t “stand in solidarity” during the day then throw tear gas canisters at night
The video of a Minneapolis police officer killing a defenseless, handcuffed man is one of the most vile and heartbreaking images I’ve ever seen. The officer who stood guard is just as responsible as his partner; both must be held fully accountable. This must stop now.
Hours before this video came out:
— @MinneapolisPD did not say how George Floyd died.
— Never mentioned chokehold
This is what @MinneapolisPD said: "Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress."
Almighty. Keep us firm in faith as we go through a very different #Ramadan. We’re realising the blessings attached to this & we’re grateful for everything You’ve sent our way. Keep us always hopeful as we pray for healing the world over not just physically but in our hearts!
Two nurses, who have witnessed first hand the toll Covid is taking in Colorado, stood up and peacefully counter protested. Here is how they were treated. I had join them.
