feelarivermoving asked: Nas, I love you. I'm gonna miss your mama so much and I am positive Allah will bless her so much for taking myself and Isam and our siblings in as her own children. Subhanallah, she was the most amazing woman to ever enter my life other than my own mother. Her spirit and love will live on forever through you because you are literally the epitome of what an amazing woman your mother was, your...
When I found out my mother was dead I honestly felt like I might die myself. It didn’t seem possible that the woman that had been so strong and done so much for us all wouldn’t be there anymore. I thought of how I’d just saw her, how she was clearly alive a moment ago, how that was my mother so she was supposed to be there. Then I thought of all the things she wouldn’t see...

I feel like there’s a lot of misunderstanding in the world because of the lack of communication. It sucks that no one can read minds, but that’s what our voices are for. People need to voice what’s on their mind in order to be understood. And the person who’s listening should make an effort to understand without judging. That way the listener would be able to get a better understanding...

I’m not a very vocal person about my feelings. I can’t sit with someone and explain to them what’s going on in my head or heart. I don’t know how to anymore. There was a time when everything seemed easy and shit wasn’t so complicated but it is now. I never promise to be perfect or live up to everyone’s expectations because each person in my life expects...

Finding Peace
People think that in order to be at peace, they need to move to a new place and start over ..and yes at times that is true but what’s also true is that peace begins within. It won’t matter where you live or what you do if you aren’t at peace with yourself. All the demons and hate we allow to live inside us will eat us away, the memories we suppress and the fears we don’t...

We all hate him
Isam: I'm re-evaluating my life and myself. How do I go about that?
Me: Try making a list of a few of your flaws then try fixing them one at a time.
Isam: Ok.
15 minutes later:
Me: How'd it go?
Isam: What?
Me: The list of flaws?
Isam: Oh that? Yeah I was going to write it but then I realized I don't actually have any flaws. That made me realize I have nothing to really re-evaluate because you know, if it's not broken why fix it?
Me: ....
Our siblings: .....
His wife: .....
Isam: Maybe I could be a little more humble about my perfection.
Me: You should get out.
Little brother: We all hate you.

I have my beef with the term “Arab Spring” but “Arab Awakening” is so so so much worse.
Just because you decided to wake up and start paying attention to the region, doesn’t mean the whole region was sleeping too. Opposition movements have always existed in one form or another throughout the region, albeit marginalized and often driven underground, BUT THEY...

Dear Intolerant Muslims,
beautifulqalb:
Please stop trying to use Islam as a cover up or reason for your own personal hate and prejudices. If we learned anything from our Prophet it should have been respect, tolerance and love not hate, backbiting and blatant disrespect for other human beings. There are basic things that are acceptable in our religion and things that aren’t, someone doing something that isn’t part of...

Welcome to my life these past few days.
Walked into my room, all my books were rearranged out of alphabetical order.
Walked into my bathroom, my toothbrush was laying on the sink instead of being in the holder.
Went into the kitchen, every single one of my redbulls were open and half filled, lol.
Went to sleep, woke up with lipstick on my face.
Went to get in my car, the entire car was filled...
I suffer from random bouts of reality. It's...

lustigwirklichkeit asked: I second that comment! I love your blog! I am a non-Muslim Queer person studying about Islam and falling in love with it, though if it weren't for people like you, I don't know if I would potentially ever be accepted within the Ummah at all. You give me so much hope.

jnoobeeya-deactivated20120304 asked: I like the fact that you understand the true beauty, complexity and security that comes with being a true Muslim. I feel like too many these days, especially in America, kind of perceive the whole religion as more of a list of rules and less as an amazing way of life that provides you with peace of heart.
