I’m not sure how best to describe it, but it’s like my heart can’t go past this ayat. I know Surah Maryam and the rest of the Quran is an entire ocean but the weight of Prophet Zackariya’s dua for his son Yahya is so heavy I’ve been stuck processing it for years
“Surely my bones have become brittle, and grey hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord.”
(19:4)

this world cup is brining so many ignored and unheard stories to the main stage... this is what football is about man I'm so emotional rn
🚨🇮🇶 THIS IS THE STORY OF AYMEN HUSSEIN!
• His father was killed by Al Qaida.
• His brother was kidnapped and never found again.
• When he entered the USA for the World Cup, he was interrogated for 7 hours.
• He was very close to not being allowed to enter the country.
• And now he scores the 2nd goal in Iraq's World Cup history.

you take yourself wherever you go. you take your fears, your thoughts and most importantly your identity. identity is the most malleable, temporary thing, you stay in a prison of your own making when you don’t treat it as such.
I'm the least valued member of any given social group. Accepted as long as i'm making people laugh, and just a nuisance if I stand up for myself or challenge anyone else's assertions. I keep replicating this dynamic despite thinking I've escaped it every time. How depressing

This is what 26 months in an Israeli prison does to you.
Before and after pictures of Palestinian detainee Ayman Al Fakhouri, who was released today from Israeli administrative detention without charge or trial.

I have grown so much ever since I allowed life to humble me. I didn’t think it was possible to be the person that I am now but I’m so grateful for it
gotta let life humble you when it insists on it, man. such great things can grow out of a little needed humility

Allah is Most Expansive, He expands the simplest turn towards Him and the most beloved deeds to Him are those that are consistent, even if they are small
there’s something so beautiful about people who have a specific du’a or a surah or just any act of worship that they are attached to, one they are known by and repeat always. they make it their own. i imagine there’s infinite reward in that simplicity and clarity.

I went to the foundling museum (basically an ex-Victorian orphanage) and I’m so so so emotional about those little babies who were so poor and so alone and so mistreated and they’re my favourite people to ever exist and I LOVED IT

I get yelled at for saying this but children enjoy a challenge and it's good for them to read books that are a bit difficult. In my experience, adults are the ones trying to keep them from classics while the kids are aching to read Homer, Jane Austen and Jane Eyre.
Just sold a copy of the Iliad to a 10 year old who wants to try Homer. She's read 5 Percy Jackson books and wants "the originals" now. Kudos to her and to her mom who brought her down to the bookshop.

Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).
Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.

I think Muslims are incapable of being normal about marriage.
Jun 15
I think Muslims have an overly romanticized view of marriage. They talk about it as though it's a romance novel, or a halal substitute for dating, when in reality marriage is mostly responsibility and compromise. And for women, its literally babysitting a fully grown adult male.
