Getting excited for Ramadan alhamdolellah :)
Muslim Swagger: Life of a Revert. →
I wanted to present the side of being a revert Muslim that most don’t realise to Muslims and even those who are not Muslim.
When Muslims find out you are a revert they are nothing but happy for you, they hug and get excited and you feel so loved, but when they are gone what happens?

Ramadan (according to my mum)
My mum picked me up from work earlier this evening and on the short journey back the topic of Ramadan came up as I knew it would. She was asking me what my plans were, what I would be doing etc. Unfortunately her opinion of Ramadan is that it’s “ridiculous”, “unhealthy”, “stupid” and that “you’re silly to take part in it” astagfirAllah....

My cousin graduated from university with a first class degree yesterday mashAllah :). In order to attend this ceremony, my family and I took a trip down to Brighton on Sunday, where we stayed a night in a hotel.
This staying in a hotel buisness meant that I had to share a room with my sister and thus pray in front of her :O ! Anyhow it happened fine, the first time, I tried to read Asr when...
SIGN THE PETITION - RECOGNISE PALESTINE →
farhaaan:
In five days the UN Security Council will meet, and the world has an opportunity to embrace a new proposal that could turn the tide on decades of failed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks: UN recognition of the state of Palestine.
Over 120 nations from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America have already endorsed this initiative, but Israel’s right-wing government and the US...

A book review
The Life of Mohammed (peace be upon him) - His life based on the earliest sources - Tahia AlIsmail
This was the first book that I have had read about the life of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) and I found it to be very interesting and informative, although there were a couple of comments I found to be sexist, on the whole I enjoyed this book and would reccomend it. It has given me a good...

We got onto the topic of hijab, she asked me if I was wearing it, I said, at the moment no, I was then asked if I had worn it when I went to London to of which I had to say ”Yes”.

It is reported by Abu Harairah, may Allah be please with him, that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him, said:
Almighty Allah says:
“O son of Adam! If you take out some time for my service, I shall fill your heart with contentment and I shall remove your poverty. And if you have no time for my services, I shall keep your hands busy in work and I shall not remove your...

rainclouds-inmyroom asked: Salam sister :)
I once met a new korean revert who was facing the same home situation as you. She was crying in her prayers at the mosque due to her difficulties, and at that time, I felt envious how she must have been so close to Allah. From my perspective, she is so much stronger than me who is a born muslim. I take islam for granted most times, sadly.
Just want to tell you that...

When you lie down in your bed, recite ayat al-Kursi, Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He),...

My trip up to London :)
So I went up to London on Tuesday to attend a “taster day” at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) as I will be applying university in the next couple of months inshAllah.

My first dawah opportunity!
So I was on the train up to London on Tuesday morning, I spent the first 20 minutes stood up as there were no seats but after the first stop a seat became available next to a man who was probably around the same age as my father. I was dressed in a white hijab (which had been put on in the train toilet) a navy blue maxi dress with a light blue denim shirt over the top. After a moment the man...
