nobody tells you this about praying fajr in the West:
• the adhan doesn't wake you up
• no one in your house is praying
• your friends don't know what fajr is
• your alarm competes with 6 hours of sleep
• shaytan has 8 excuses ready before your feet hit the floor
and you STILL get up
you're choosing Allah in a land that doesn't remind you of Him
that's not just prayer habibi
that's the purest form of love
and He sees every single sunrise you chose Him

Everyone should learn cursive.
Inspirenaire@Inspirenaire
As we are out here doing our Genealogy and looking at old census records and history, it's mostly written in cursive. There are at least 3 different decades of youth who don't know how to write or read cursive. What the schools won't teach, you better have your children learn it from somewhere else. They will lose history if they don't. #Inspirenaire

@Charlygotyou It never stays on my face and it never fully pleased those it attempted prove my value or worth in marriage or on the job.
Healthy eating, grounded mental health, and ethics provides more beauty than product requiring borderline paint thinner to remove.

Today, I heard a guy explain to his friend why "not all men" is so wrong. He said the first lesson you learn about gun safety is to treat EVERY weapon like it's loaded, even if you think it's probably not. Treat it like it's loaded, for everyone's safety! That's exactly how women have learned to treat men.

There is something we Muslims don’t really acknowledge or talk about enough, and that’s the effort reverts put into learning the Islam.
We celebrate their shahadah videos. We share “welcome to Islam” posts. But we rarely talk about what comes after.
This afternoon at work, I walked into the prayer room for Zuhr and saw a brother already praying. He had two rakahs left, so I quietly joined him.
While we were praying, I noticed a faint sound playing in the background. It sounded like it was coming from his phone or maybe a EarPods, but I wasn’t too certain.
After we finished, I completed the remaining two rakahs and I joined the next people that were about to pray Asr. He didn’t leave straight away and sat at the back of the room. He waited until I completed my prayer, then approached me.
He looked apologetic and said “This is the first time someone joined me in prayer and he wasn’t sure if I did it correctly.”
He mentioned he was following the recitation through his headset and seemed genuinely concerned that he might have made a mistake with how he led the prayer, being the first time. You could tell he had been thinking about it throughout.
I told him he did everything right. I told him I heard a faint sound playing in the background but couldn’t tell if it was him. I asked for his name and had a little chat about work. I could see the relief in his face.
What stood out to me wasn’t the technical correctness of his prayer but the sincerity and effort behind it.
He was so conscious about pleasing Allah, and not offending others in how he prayed, that he waited just to make sure he hadn’t done something wrong and to seek correction. He wasn’t casual about it. He wasn’t indifferent. He was intentional about it.
How many of us, born into Islam, carry that same conscious humility and intentionality?
We rarely speak about the weight reverts carry. The courage it takes to choose Islam.
The discipline it takes to learn from scratch, the pronunciation, movements, rulings. The quiet practice sessions. The YouTube video on repeat. The earphones or phone in prayer because they are still learning.
The quiet effort, the nervousness, the private struggle and striving to get it right. We don’t talk about that effort enough!
There is no time I listen to, read about, or meet a revert that I don’t learn from them.
Today encounter reminded me that guidance isn’t just about accepting Islam, it’s about striving every single day to grow in it to please Allah, and not wrong others.
May Allah make reverts and all striving Muslims steadfast upon this religion. May He reward our hidden effort, anxious questions out of sincerity, and grant us the understanding of it.

@DerrickEvans4WV I was born in America. We still have something in the Constitution called freedom of religion. You can look it up if you need a refresher on our fundamental God-given rights that the US Constitution was drawn up to protect. But you're in office or running, so you know that.

Israel has had the ability to take o*t their targets with precision for decades. There is not now, nor ever has been, nor ever will be a good excuse for the level of carn*ge we have seen over the last few years.
They can choose precision, yet they do not. They want carn*ge.

Imagine telling the world that you're liberating the women of Iran and one of the first things you do is blow up a school full of girls. Extraordinary.

I am proud to introduce the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act.
Democrats are losing their minds because I made a simple statement—given a choice between our dogs and those who would ban them, the choice is easy.
They can pound sand.
This bill will ban federal funds to any state or local government that considers dogs “haram.”
Proceed accordingly, Mamdani.

There’s a reason I am telling the stories of strong Muslim women, even when I told myself I’d stop centering a Muslim audience.
Because the narrative needs rewriting.
Too many Muslim women are shrinking themselves to fit cultural boxes. Islam has always had women who were pioneers, leaders, scholars, business owners, warriors, teachers.
Think of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. A business magnate in Makkah before revelation even began.
Think of Nusaybah bint Ka’ab. Standing firm in battle when others fled.
This is our legacy.
So no one gets to tell you that you are less. Not culture. Not community.
Educate yourself. Read. Learn your deen beyond what was filtered through someone else’s comfort. Ask questions. Seek knowledge!
I see our pain. The silencing. The pressure to be small so others can feel big. But you were not created to be invisible.
Live truly. Live intentionally. Live in a way that prioritizes pleasing your Lord above pleasing people. Let your ambition, your intellect, your leadership, your audacity, your strength all coexist without apology.
We answer to Allah, not humans.
