‘The Political and Sociocultural Gameplay of Marriage in Qatar.’ Very proud of my sister for writing an important piece about challenging marital norms inspired by anecdotes. She highlights different layers of struggle which blatantly contradict Islamic approach to marriage.

Can you still consider yourself a true advocate for justice when layers of injustice are taking place in your own household and you choose to be silenced by your bias?

What your Islamic Studies teacher, the Ministry of Ed, and your tribe don’t want you to know.

[Ali A Olomi @aaolomi]

Islamic history is full of powerful women who defying all odds became queens and rulers, shaping their own destiny and the fortune of their realms

@slaytea_ Your gut feeling will not fail you. Our past traumas have their ways in creating a dark cloud over our intuition and there are ways you can overcome that (meditation, journaling, etc).

Self-love isn’t only limited to practicing healing rituals & improving your perspective on various issues. Self-love is also one of ur biggest defense mechanisms when your space and true self are under attack. The effects of the former can also improve the efficacy of the latter.

I still remember my interaction with Abdelrahman as my TA when I was a freshman. We haven't spoken since, and I had no clue he was fighting his own battles. He got into Harvard, and you can help him afford it. Please donate or RT at the very least.

Our generation is well-equipped to stop the legacy of distress and intergenerational trauma. Don’t let your kids suffer the way you and your forefathers did for the sake of outdated practices and beliefs. You’re better than this.

@aelchanti You’re the dopest queen 👑

Arabs cry rivers over family feuds in Bollywood movies, but end up reproducing the same problems and toxic dynamics in real life.

@vanish_forever @ShaimaSherif2 The least they can do is start a hotline for them, since they are commonly ignored by the police. I bet calls will break the roof on day one.

The lack of inspection mechanisms not only reveal that the reforms are clearly put forward based on ulterior motives, but they unashamedly show a serious lack of conscience. There’s no point in having faith in the “reformed” system. https://t.co/BVpr0W8YPX

I remember the first time reading this a few years ago. It left an unforgettable impression on me. I don’t know who needs this, but I hope it inspires you to ignore whiny aunts and uncles and strengthen your ground. https://t.co/p6iqlqKPHs

As a 29-year-old it is absolutely humiliating to have undergone such unnecessary incident. This proves how people in charge are incapable of dealing with and treating a serious issue without infringing on the rights of others.

If you are a Qatari female under the age of 30 and traveling soon, you WILL be stopped by a border officer. I am currently at Hamad International Airport and I was asked to contact my dad to verify that he is aware of me traveling.

[Hind @ofhind_]

The border officer said that they recently received instructions to not allow women under 30 through without their guardian’s consent. I was thus asked to connect him with my father via phone. The officer asked him personal questions to confirm my identity and his.

@AliTheAnsari Ironically, it’s the same humidity that they run away from in the summer.

[Doha News @dohanews]

Qataris with blindness or visual impairment are often stereotyped as being depressed or unable to take care of themselves, making it almost impossible for them to find love or companionship.
