Skincare routine? 🫡 MashaAllah every time I see your photos I'm at awe of how healthy your skin looks

thaanks babe that's very sweet and kind of you! in my head i'm so focused on how my skin is quite oily and blemish prone heh, so it's nice not everyone hyper focuses on that. i will say it's mostly down to my genetics, like my mum gets a lot of compliments on her skin and people assuming she's younger than she is. like i think it comes down to us naturally having high levels of collagen, or something etc.

truly my skin care routine is just cleansing + moisturising twice a day (when i remember and/or have the executive function for it lol), and i have recently started using a vitamin c-serum in the morning, which i've been really pleased with and feel like it does make my skin glow more :') other than that i've literally been using the same products for years lol. for makeup removal it's bioderma micellar water, cleansing is cerave (but cerave is on the bds list so i'm hoping to find a replacement when i've used up what i have), and moisturising is the embryolisse lait-créme concentré

There’s ONE (of many) thing about u that i love is you are always cap-ing A of Allah in InshAllah. Ik its nothing for anyone but esp me (as a muslim) would always notice this and give u a thousand kisses 😭😭😭

Oh oh thank you anon! I am not muslim but I come from a multicultural and multireligious place and this is a saying that everyone uses culturally, both inshaAllah and mashaAllah, and it comes naturally to me to capitalise it because that's the way i've been taught and i try to always be respectful about it. Mostly i use it because its familiar and comforting to me in a way that "god willing" never can be, because this carries the added cultural context and the softness of my childhood and home. I never thought about it (i used to misspell it as inshAllah bcs different languages and i relied mostly on phonology) but im glad that my respect shows, because it's genuine. A thousand kisses back! 🥰

"I came to agree with him on many things, and disagree with him on many things, I saw him for his good qualities and disagreeable qualities, and I saw him acknowledge the things he is capable of while remaining incredibly humble. Unlike others who may read his story and glorify him I think I understood him for what he is: incredibly human. And I truly appreciate him for that. From this perspective I can say, he was a great man, who had a way of constantly recognising that everything is from God. There are many things I can learn from him and learn to implement into my own life." - Rabia on reading Malcolm X's Autobiography

1 year anniversary reflections

It has been a year since we became husband and wife. And our one year anniversary we’re spending over 3000 miles apart. To say that I am not upset would be a lie. I know the situation is not his fault, but I’m still allowed to be upset. Not at him. At the situation. 

I feel like marriage just bought a different dimension to our relationship. In the years that I knew him prior I never felt this connected to him. Or maybe I did not allow myself to feel this connected. It is weird because I never thought I could love someone this much. He is not only my best friend, but my biggest supporter, my shoulder to cry on, my biggest cheerleader and the place my heart feels at home. 

The last year feels like a dream. For the first 6 months we were just in awe of being able to be with each other. Every dawaat we went to, every wedding we attended, every family outing we went to, every time my mum cooked for him and every time my dad asked after him, felt surreal. Of course there was tears from learning to live with another person, and having a long-distance relationship but at the end we were just very grateful to be able to have those issues.

Growing up as the eldest, especially in an ethnic household, forces you to mature quicker. You’re constantly on your best behaviour. The honour of the family rested on your actions. You sibling’s future choices depended on you. You became the second mum, and essentially had to think about everyone else before yourself. You became an ear for whoever needed it. So your worries and tears were yours alone. Behind closed doors, the tears and worries were dealt with. Mostly through writing everything down (how this blog started). As I got older and the problems and stress got more complex, I started to realise how lonely I was despite the chaos around me. 

The “eldest daughter” mentality shaped my spouse search. I don’t think I have enough time to divulge into that but I will at some point. I met my husband at a time where I was ending something with a “rishta potential” and as you can imagine there was immense stress around that situation. One of my first messages to him were that I wanted only to stay friends, and he responded with until we fall in love then we’ll take it from there. Well looks like, we fell it love and it ended in a marriage. Alhamdulillah x1000. After all the tears, heartbreak, prayers and lots of sabr, we made it. I’m in love with our love story and may Allah protect it and bless it. Say MashaAllah please.

No question -just a rant if you'll listen! Growing up in the south of the U.S. has made practicing so difficult for no reason. I am now getting back to praying 5 times a day, as (finally), a more independent moved-out adult. Just looking back, there was so many barriers for no reason! My parents are divorced, both remarried, and no one practices or did ever practice for more than a few months at a time. One parent married a convert afterwards. Mental health disorders then affected so many of us. 8 immediate family members and no one is practicing.

My parents didn't want me to face discrimination, or worse, danger being in the south, so I feel like they kept making excuses about everything so me and my siblings would fit in. It is a struggle but still, i wish we embraced who we are. 'You don't have to wear hijab, eating halal food is inconvenient, not all of your friends have to be muslim." "It's okay to make up prayers if you miss them during the day." I think this is true, but I felt like we should be striving to pray at the right times for the benefits. I have only been to a mosque 3x in my life. I have never been friends with another Muslim, ever, and I have no family here.

The American lifestyle of 8 hours a day at school, then going home to work a part time job and do homework, is exhausting, and although it helped me be successful for college, I was so bitter not being able to live how I wanted. Everyone in my family kind of took on this mentality that everyone makes Islam super complicated, and that we can still be muslim living how we want. I think that we should still be able to identify with Islam and our God, but its like everyone just started becoming apathetic.

I think maybe they were frustrated because growing up, they probably faced a lot of things like shame, toxic masculinity, the stress of appearing perfect..so they wanted to distance themselves from that. And they didn't want us to feel controlled. But then they let go of our values!

When it got to college, my mental health was at a devastating low. I chose my college because my siblings went there, they had my major and it is a good school. But i was in depression and didn't have any more thoughts besides that.

My college is gigantic, and to get to classes freshman year, I walked 20 minutes back and forth, and just did homework all day, hung out with friends. Still never met another Muslim.

Now I'm further into college, and although this quarantine is obviously very difficult for everyone, I finally received therapy and have been praying, mainly because I am home a lot and i can. Out of all the people in my life, my therapist, who doesn't even understand the religion and culture at all, said the words that motivated me to actually do something, and have control over my choices.

My bad for the long rant. It is probably pretty confusing but I could talk about this all day.. Please make dua for me to make the lifestyle changes, or move, or something so that I can finally practice the way I want. My choice now has really been stay at home for a majority of the day. So stupid.

Salam sister -

First of all I just want to thank you for sending this in. Hearing about what you've struggled with (and will inshaAllah soon overcome!) has been so inspiring and I want you to know that I'm so so proud of you.

SubhanAllah, I cannot imagine how much Allah must love you, for you to experience this time and time again, and choose to put your relationship with Him at the forefront of your mind regardless of what everyone around you is doing. It's so awesome.

I've seen so many families here try to justify not practicing Islam (and the range in what that looks like is really scary) because it's America, but wallahi people don't understand how short our lives here are. Your soul will live on long after your body ceases to exist, what will we say when they are summoned before Allah and made to answer? What will we say? Allah is the one who created America, its people and customs, and part of this lifestyle is a trial. Are we okay with failing that trial?

And I wanted to tell you - though I may not have gone through exactly the same thing, I see it happening all the time and know this could have easily been me - if Allah hadn't put inside me the desire to know Him and do better and change my environment. This isn't the end of the road. It helps so much to have a friend to talk to, so if you'd like to connect just send me a message inshaAllah (and this applies to anyone else who feels like they have no Muslim friends as well).

Again, I am so so proud of you and i believe in what you're capable of. I know that Allah loves you, because look how much you're striving to build your relationship with Him! MashaAllah, I ask Allah to protect you always, and allow you to make the changes you need to take control of your life.

You got this sis ❤

When you feel hopeless or helpless you need to make a few changes to get yourself out of that destructive state.

First, stop watching so much news or reading on COVID-19. I understand the need to know the facts but you’re bombarding yourself with overwhelming amount of distressing information. It will cause you to feel lethargic and hopeless.

Second, have a sense of purpose. Do something - anything to get you to be productive. Check on neighbors, send groceries, call and check on the elderly, clean out closet, learn a new skill or study the deen. Being active will get your mind off of the hysteria.

Third, listen to uplifting messages from people who are calm and optimistic. Seeing others who have it together will give you more reassurance that you too can remain calm.

Fourth, go outside and get a breath of fresh air. It’s spring here in the U.S. and it’s absolutely gorgeous mashaAllah! When you spend time in nature you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Fifth, connect with people you love for emotional support. Whether you live with your family or you’re all alone, reach out and connect online.

Sixth, use this time to reflect and set personal goals to become better. This can actually be the stage in your life that you choose to transform yourself.

Seventh, be compassionate to yourself. It’s ok if you’re scared. It’s ok if you cry. It’s ok if you haven’t completed your tasks. It’s ok if the house is not perfect. It’s ok if you are irritable. You’re going through a lot and you need to be gentle with yourself.

Eight, be kind to the people you’re with. Don’t take out your frustration on them. Don’t yell. Don’t say hurtful words. Be kind. Everyone is struggling and needs kindness, not harshness.

Ninth, find joy in little things. Have fresh flowers in your home, enjoy the warm water when you shower, savor the fruit you’re eating and really be in the moment.

I pray that we all endure these days of hardship with dignity, confidence and faith. InshaAllah we will come out of this experience with deeper appreciation, strength and faith.

-Haleh Banani

Ok, so I never do this. This will be first time posting on anon but damn I've got to say something. First of all wanna say I love your blog and you're very pretty mashaallah. Second of all, im sorry you're getting all this hate. For you and any so called "sinners" Islam was literally made for us. I feel like these people that are giving you hate forget one of the 99 names of Allah SWT is 'Al Ghaffur' the most forgiving one, they forget the story of the woman that was a prostitute but managed to get in to heaven because she gave a dog some water. There is even a story that says if we were not to sin, God would have gotten rid of us and created others that would sin because guess what he loves it when we go to him to repent. Its better to do something small than nothing at all. Those that are judging you publicly are misguided. Ok, so with one of the sahaabas, for the life of me i can't remember which one stayed up for fajr with another person. The other person judged those that didnt wake up for fajr, the Sahara said it wouldve been better for him to have stayed asleep than to get up and judge those that didn't. Sorry for ranting off, but it annoys me soo much. Islam is such a beautiful religion, and prophet Muhammad (SAW) was one of the most kindest people ever. This judging thing Muslims are so hooked on drives more people away than it does in bringing people closer to Islam. It hurts reverts, those born Muslim, those who lost Islam and then came back. Theres no such thing as a Muslim that does not sin. Everyone does it! Anyways its just annoying. God, first time I post on anon and its the longest message I've written in my life. Once again I'm sorry, youre getting all this hate. May Allah SWT guide us all and make us all kinder to one another. Ameen. Going back to my hermit hole now, Salaam xx

I appreciate it a lot! their character has shown through their hatred and I think that’s the lesson. u can’t be calling me a bad Muslim bc I have a bf when ur character stinks lmao honestly if ur not a decent human being u can’t be a good Muslim. all the stories I’ve heard of ‘good Muslims’ have been about their character and the way they treat other people, not about how many prayers they read or how chaste they were. says a lot

[b-lessings]

Here's a cute story to brighten up your evening. Baba's bff ( they've been best friends for 60 years now yes say mashaAllah ) has lost his eyesight to hyperglycemia and has been very depressed and closed off and distancing himself from everyone. And my favorite thing about when baba calls to check on him is that when he first says " Alo? " picking up the phone and for the first like mini seconds his voice comes off wary and off but then you can actually feel the moment he recognizes baba's voice and you can feel that his face lits up, like I don't see it but I can definitely hear it and it's just heartwarming and may Allah bless them and grant them a good end both of them ❤️

pooja's bitchface at all these people invading her house early in the morning is legit my permanent mood.

panditji is like vadhu is not dressed at all? hush sir, she's living my best life, doing everything, down to shaadi, in her jammies.

this fucker already pulling the "pati is parmeshwar" bullshit.

god you are so going to get murdered once this wedding is done, dude. i really need her to go black widow/praying mantis like the OG promos of this show.

rani is me, outraged at this misogynist rubbish.

“rang maine khud choose kiye hai... sonali baahar agar koi tumhari bhaabi ki tareef kare, toh bataana mat bhoolna ki yeh rang tumhare kabir bhaiyya ne tumhari bhaabi ke liye specially choose kiya hai.”

lord, he’s laying on the performative romantic gushiness more than dhruv also.

sonali has taken over from rani wrt best reactions in bg. i love her face so much. i love it so much that now deepika padukone looks like nakli aanchal to me.

ugh.

rani's desperation to break it all up is already showing. barely minutes later.

"mashaAllah. mashaAllah!!!!!!! kaha tha na maine, in kapdo mein MERI POOJA khil uthegi. nihaayati khoobsoorat lag rahi ho tum, pooja!"

woh sab toh theek hai but why you talking like hrithik from jodhaa akbar suddenly???

"aaj se tumahre life ke saare important decisions main loonga."

Day 4 as a revert

    As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuhu!     

    Today is blessed Friday and fascinating day for me. Four days ago I said shahada (AlhamduliLlah!). Maybe you would like to tell me “It is just 4 days, it is nothing”. But I just want to share, how incredible I feel inside now. I feel myself alive. Islam gave and still is giving this sense to continue the exam, which we called “life”: I understand how friends can influence on us, talking with reasoning and kind friends (my dear sisters) is making me think and be kind, learn more about Islam and want to say to everyone how Islam is beautiful; I also today found a reason for wake up with good and upbeat mood (for fajr of course :))

     No words just AlhamduliLlah! SubhanaAllah, 4 days! I was finding the sense, the reason of life last 2 years   —  and simple words “Ash’hadu an la ilaha IllaLlahu wa ash’hadu anna Muhammadan rasuluLlahi” saved me from this infinite circulation of finding the sense.

     MashaAllah, that’s amazing.

     May Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) grant people Jannah, all those who did and still doing great job for helping and supporting reverts and other people to find the sense, Ameen.

Marriage•||°

There is a beautiful code of conduct of getting married in Islam. And there are some parts that I don't understand yet but we follow them blindly. So here's what I have to say...

The whole marriage business according to the teachings of our Prophet revolves around getting done with this duty with SIMPLICITY AND EASE.

Now many of us, practically everyone of us unless we're poor, all believe it's a chance to show our wealth and status. Hence the Extravagant weddings were birthed by us.

It's a duty and an opportunity of celebration, Allah has blessed us with. Celebrating it with your closest and with moderation and simplicity. And MashaAllah we have turned the whole concept 180° around. We have made it a burden on ourselves. We are surrounded by debt living up to an ego and reputation that doesn't please Allah and your heart.

I wish this could end. I wish we could make marriage a simpler matter and enjoy the beautiful occasion with love and peace. NO worries about dowry, no extravagant gifts exchange and no stupid rasms to live upto.

My idea of marriage is a garden filled with flowers and close friends and family. I wish we could all have a good time and be back at our home before midnight 😃

No stupid rasms no stupid traditions. Just a beautiful Nikkah with lots and lots of flowers around us. I wish we could adapt the simple ways of our ancestors.

Now what I don't understand yet is why can't we know our spouse before marriage within the boundaries of respect and decency. Our parents choose our spouses for us and don't take me wrong, I've seen many of these arranged marriages working out. But I've seen women putting up with husbands or Husbands putting up with their wives for the sake of their kids but they are no longer close or ever meant for each other because of mentality difference. Now my point of getting to kno someone before marriage doesn't exclude the possibility of divorce in this scenario either. But I think a few meetings are pretty good to know a lot about someone.

Now as per Islam I understand that's wrong and I hope my heart turns to the righteous path and may ALAH SWT bless us all with the best of companions and bring love and peace into the relations of couples who are already married. Ameen
