And yes, it does feel crummy to have to spell all these out, but here we are...

Since someone asked this on a mailing list and it's good to share these sorts of recommendations: what are your favorite children's books on Palestine?

@matt_boot_ I recently started washing it more intentionally (as opposed to doing it sometimes when I remembered/had the energy) after reading that it can help reduce the amount of arsenic.

@rachwoodlock @BenIqra These are great. 😄

Delighted to share that my translations of 3 poems by #Uyghur refugee poet Imran Sada'i have just been published by @wwborders. This is the first publication in English of Imran's remarkable work.

Illustrated by the super-talented Julia Griffin @madainn.

Pleads for help can be heard from several mosques in Jerusalem. Minarets are calling on people to rally and help those wounded inside Al-Aqsa Compound. According to the Red Crescent, Israeli forces are currently preventing medics from entering the scene.

I've found this book and two video series related to the Seerah to be a pleasant combination. None of them are individually taxing or massively time-consuming, but together they create an encouraging and rewarding experience, alhamdu Lillah.

I am looking for someone who's well-versed in the history and societal context of the 7th-century Muslim conquests of North Africa (think al-Kahina, Hassaan ibn Nu'man, Kusaila, Zuhayr ibn Qays al-Balawi, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz...). Any leads?

As the spring breeze showers us with its blossom off the trees, may Allah shower us with His Mercy this Ramadan. May we leave the month closer to His Pleasure than when we entered it, filled with clarity of purpose and contentment, in sha Allah.

Ramadan reading for little ones

[Amina // Book Nomad Podcast 📚🌍 @booknomadpod]

With Ramadan coming up, I think this book is a lovely way to explore Ramadan in a different country and the spirit of generosity and service to Allah that we should all try to encompass during the month.
