For Muslims: Here's how to treat a convert to #Islam...

1. Do not...
Wait, why am I telling YOU what to do? Sorry about that. 🌷
Sister Mary, here's what to do as a Muslim convert:
1. Learn as much as you can! Knowledge builds confidence and comfort. 2...🧵

@sielmaroc Agreed! I am noticing more Moroccans who know English very well. I think Zakariaa is correct: many Moroccans do not do literature/writing in Darija, so are not used to expressing themselves in Darija in literary ways like books/poetry. But there is so much Moroccan poetry, too!

Watched all eight episodes of the new Mr. & Mrs. Smith and have come to the conclusion that I owe it an apology. I was not familiar with its game.

Iranians are NOT Arab! I did not know this until I was an adult 😬 Sharing this lovely post in case there is anyone else like me. It's okay! Keep being curious

Tehranis are beginning to take interest in Arab culture.

Until recently Arab food was a niche thing in Tehran's Arab enclave (Dawlat Ābād).

Now you can find Mandī and Mudhīf Restaurants (Marsh Arab) in Tehrans rich neighborhoods!

This really blows my mind.

Chapter of Quran, al-Falaq. I always translated it as "daybreak," and after reading #tafsir (explanations and commentary on #quran ) I see it can also mean "the splitting of a seed when it brings forth life." So amazing! That really touched me. #FridayVibes #jumuah

@Ivne_sina Wa alaykum salaam! I did not see your message until now! Just returning the salaam.

[Sister Mary #amwriting @sistermaryjon]

There is a lot of pain and loss and hatred because of the war in #Gaza right now. As a #Muslim, this oppression hurts. Also as a Muslim, I want to let my #Jewish neighbors know that I love you, I respect you, and I want you and your descendants to live long and well ❤️
