Why did the Quran call Maryam a.s( the mother of Esa a.s ) as the sister of Haroon if Haroon the brother of Musa a.s came 1000 years before Maryam a.s. Is this a mistake in the Qur'an as they claim ?

﷽

The Quran has no mistakes. It is the words of Allah and Allah claims to keep it safe from every alteration and falsehood.

So answering the above question. When Maryam a.s gave birth to Esa a.s. Many people came to her and said " Oh sister of Haroon, your father was not the man of evil, nor your mother was unchaste ". Because she gave birth to Esa a.s without any male intervention. So it was obvious people would doubt her because she wasn't married to anyone. It was one of the miracles of Allah and also a test for Mariam a.s. So understanding this. The sister of the Haroon term. Haroon here is not the brother of Musa a.s (whose name was also Haroon.) Maryam a.s actually had a brother called Haroon ( not Musa's brother). So you may ask now why did the Quran mention Haroon in this verse ? So answering that Maryam a.s was actually from the lineage of Haroon ( brother of Musa a.s ) and she also had a brother called haroon. So people reminded her of two things 1) being the sister of pious haroon 2) coming from the lineage of Haroon the brother of Musa . It is the Arabic way of reminding people of any relation or which tribe you belong to . For e.g Quran says "Aad , Pharaoh and the brothers of lut " because they were relatives / tribes of and not actual brothers. That's why the Quran used the term brothers in the above mentioned verse.

There is an instance where Prophet a.s was asked the same question by a companion who got confused because a Christian asked this question to him.

Mughira b. Shu'ba reported: When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read "O sister of Harun" (i. e. Hadrat Maryam) in the Qur'an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah's Messenger a.s I asked him about that, whereupon he said: The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them.

Reference: Sahih Muslim 2135. In-book reference: Book 38, Hadith 13.

So in brief it is not a mistake in the Qur'an but a way of including a big message in a short verse that's why it is unique and still nobody is able to alter the Quran to this date. Allah's help is sought.

There’s a reason why scholars emphasize the importance of memorizing the Quran and learning Arabic properly when you start seeking knowledge. A lot of people fall into misguidance/ghuluw when they don’t understand the context of a word in a sentence or take the translation from another (misguided) person. Worst of all, you hear someone who hasn’t learned the language say I’m learning by myself, what exactly are you learning?? And by yourself?? الله المستعان

DONT RUSH TO THE BIG BOOKS WHEN YOU START SEEKING ILM, save your Akhira, protect yourself and start by learning the Source of all sciences [Al-Qur’an] and the language of the religion. الله أعلم

[snail-reverts]

its been a while since ive posted an update!

im doing well, alhamdulillah 💕 things have been pretty uneventful lately, but that gives me more time to get work done! some days (like today) i love to wake up super early, pray fajr, and work while the sun rises :D

ive been trying to keep learning arabic too, especially by attempting to translate short surahs in the quran. its,, not going great because learning new words is hard, but im getting better at reading the letters and sounding out the words!

[goatgoesmbe]

Do you have any online recommendations of where to read the Quran and learn more about Islam?

..my notebooks in Microsoft one note

Akdjsjdjsj, id be honest with u, the archive i have rn are all in Indonesian so i had to do a bit of a research for english version-

From many people ik. I always hear that you should start with the Quran, then learn anything else later.. so here are some resources (also Hadith just coz, id recommend focusing on Qur'an first tho- coz Hadith is a lot)

Context: Tafsir means, the meanings/explanation/iteration from og scholars

App

Quran

I reccomended this because:

-it has translation, and dictionary to help understanding some words

-can choose sections about particular topics

-has tafsir :D

-u can also search for particular stuff like.. idk "anal" then it'd show u verses about anal

-u can log in so you could bookmark stuff, leaves note for urself and all

-IT HAS DARK MODE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

-it only provides tafsir from scholar Ibn Kathir tho, he's legit ofc.. i just prefer to hear other scholars opinions as well

Hadith

I reccomended this because:

-it has more than 4100 hadith

-some little snippet of the scholars biography, like who were their teacher, what were their hobbies (They're scholars, aka nerds, so their hobbies are literally just reading and such), etc

-there are sections to surf from various book

-explanation if the verse is legit or just good

-there's section based on topics

-you can also search stuff like.. "kissing with tongue" and then it'd show you verses about it lol

-you can log in to bookmark, leaves note for urself, etc etc

-DARK MODE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

-it rarely provide tafsir/explanation of the hadith tho. Some do have explanation, but not all of them.. only a few. You can choose the 'gem' option at bottom right, it will show you verses that have explanations (tbf, its hard to find hadith archive with tafsir)

Website

Quran

I reccomended this because:

-you don't need to install anything lololol (im lazy)

-has tafsir from 3 different scholars :D

-you can look up stuff like above.. for example uh- "sex" then it'd show all verses about it

-DARK MODE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

-provide some free lectures.. id recommend to start with this for the basic of learning the Quran itself

Hadith

I reccomeded this because:

-again, no need to install anything lolol

-separated by books

-u can search stuff.. like above sksksk

-tells u if the hadith is legit, good, or weak

-tells u the reference and scholars, as well rawi and sanad (more explanation about these two in my sex ed post)

-unfortunately.. no tafsir/explanation :(

-BUT- IT HAS DARK MODE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Video playlist

..imma be honest. Im lazy af- and most playlist i see.. be 1 hrs or more for one video, and itd have 100+ videos and im like- i aint watching allat fusjfhjsfjjsjdjs.. but here are some short ones.. as well as the longer one.. just coz

Also- unfortunately, I can't find any playlist about Hadith :( so these are all Tafsir/explanation of Quran only

5 minutes, 83 videos

I like this coz i have short attention span-

1 hour, 30 videos, focuses more on Surah/chapters

I like this coz they're explaining details of every chapter

1 half hour and more, 59 videos, focuses more on Juz/sections

I like this coz its very detailed.. also i like his way of talking idk lolol

------------------------------------

And most importantly 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ be sure to have fun learning

feel free to slide into dm/inbox for any questions :3c but again! Im no scholar, just a student- so i will just provide scholars opinion i found for the answer. For example, "is verse legit?" (I have a whole archive from Indo Salafi Scholars but.. theyre all in Indonesian.. i can translate for you ofc)

OH OH- ALSO SOME MOVIES- ILL MAKE A SEPARATE POST HOLUP-

Asmodeus - Day 47

Race: Tyrant

Alignment: Dark-Chaos

June 4th, 2024

When one thinks about traditional demonic names, among the 'star'-studded ranks of Belial, Beelzebub, or Mammon, one other stands out among the rest- a demon representing lust and one of the seven princes of hell, Asmodeus. Despite appearing in only a few stories of Abrahamic faith, Asmodeus is a well known demon whose popularity cannot go understated- whether it be adult animated TV shows or demonic dating games, Asmodeus is a prevalent demon in pop culture. But why is this the case? Why does Asmodeus rise above his peers? And why did he try to take Isabeau as a bride? I can answer two of those questions, but Jury's out on the bride one. I think he just likes tomboys. Let's try this demonic jailer in the court of Law and Chaos!

As with many demons in Abrahamic religions, Asmodeus first appears in relation to, who else, but everyone's favorite historical demon summoner, King Solomon. Primarily appearing in several stories throughout the Talmud, but also appearing in the Quran and a few stories in the Book of Tobit, a Christian book of dubious canonicity (typically only in a second canon, not the primary one,) Asmodeus is one of the 7 Kings of Demons, representing the deadly sin of Lust. Interestingly, this title wasn't given in many of his stories- in fact, there's reason to believe he initially represented the sin of Wrath before Satan came around and swooped it away. Asmodeus's name originates from 'Asmodai,' which has been stipulated to originally be "aēšma-daēva (𐬀𐬉𐬴𐬨𐬀𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬎𐬎𐬀)" which roughly translates to 'Wrath-Daēva.' As a result of this, in Zoroastrianism, their equivalent to Asmodeus, Aēsma, is a daēva whose domain is that of wrath.

Now, Asmodeus himself has a collection of different retellings of one primary story himself- for the most part, this demon appears in the Book of Tobit as the primary antagonist throughout, working to sabotage the protagonist Sarah in her attempts to get a child. Sarah, daughter of Raguel, a character who is... less a character, and more of a general name given to several figures? Thanks for making my job easy, Christianity. Anyway, Sarah had been trying for a baby for a while, but after 7 consecutive husbands went conspicuously missing almost immediately post marriage, she began to grow suspicious. (Why didn't she just try to have sex before marriage? Uh, Christianity, I guess?) However, an eighth husband would show himself- a young man by the name of Tobit! And thankfully, he has a plan, courtesy of an attendant angel, Raphael.

Somehow, by placing a fish's heart on burning coals, a smoke emerges that is so powerful it scares the encroaching Asmodeus all the way into Egypt. Once in Egypt, the demon is bound and sealed away. It's believed that the reasoning for Asmodeus preying on the suitors of Sarah is due to them marrying her simply to pursue their lustful desires, while Tobit outwits him due to being pure of mind. This legend, and corresponding idea, is also where the general consensus of Asmodeus being the demon of Lust originates. Not him being horny.

As opposed to his role in the Book of Tobit, Asmodeus appears as a far more jovial character in the Talmud, starring in stories which depict him less as outright evil and more as just a guy doing his god-damned job, as a lighthearted and good-natured man who just so happens to be a demon. The myriad of stories involving Asmodeus in the Talmud can actually tend to be rather humorous in nature, such as one in which Solomon ends up tricking the demon into helping build his temple and another in which, likely as revenge, Asmodeus ends up launching the king a long way from his kingdom and takes over for a year until Solomon returned, wherein the Demon did a fine job ruling until he fled upon learning of the return of the king. These sets of stories combined with his role in the Book of Tobit eventually placed him as a king of hell in a rather prevalent demonic compendium, though maybe not the one you were expecting.

As opposed to the Ars Goetia, Asmodeus actually appears in the Malleus Maleficarum, wherein he is considered the demon of lust and assigned an adversary in the form of St. John. It's in this compendium that he is also given the title as one of the kings of hell, wherein he overrules the gambling holes of hell. It's worth remembering that the deadly sin of Lust doesn't necessarily mean sexual gratification- it can mean a strong and intense desire for anything, including money. Yes, that gives it some overlap with Greed, but Lust differentiates itself by being a desire so overwhelming it's impossible to escape from, instead of Greed being a desire wherein one wants more and more.

However. He does appear in the Ars Goetia!!! CHEERING CHEERING YIPPEE!!!!!!!! Appearing as the demon Asmoday, he is depicted as the 32nd demon in the text, governing 72 legions of demons and being an incredibly powerful demon with the appearance of a man with three heads- one of a bull, another of a man, and the third being a goat. Unfortunately, the text doesn't delve that deep into this demon, simply bearing a powerful spear and an infernal dragon he rides upon.

So! How is he depicted in the series? Unfortunately, Asmodeus, in spite of how common he is in other demonic compendiums, makes only scant appearances throughout the series. Being a major boss in II and IV, as well as being Kamoshida's boss form in Persona 5, he mostly appears as a powerful demon in one form or another. Being a boss fight and being Asmodeus go hand in hand in the series, basically. Every design of this demon is different from the last, and, well, none of them are too accurate to every common depiction, but I can't blame the artists. This is a very, very hard design to make look good, so a majority of the time, they don't really bother.

The closest they get is his design in SMT II, but even then it differs greatly from each major depiction of Asmodeus. Again, though, I can't really blame them. As a powerful boss monster in most of the series, they work hard to make this demon actually intimidating, and I gotta give them props. My personal favorite design of Asmodeus has to be in IV, however, just due to it looking cool as hell.

This lustful king of hell gets a B+. Still don't know why he tried to take Isabeau as his bride though.

Helloooo!!

I’m gonna do a quick intro before I start posting some stuff here.

About me/this account:

- I’m a born Muslim!

- I love learning. My name translates to wisdom and the Quran itself says wisdom is a privilege (2:269)

- I enjoy respectful conversations about religion and Islam.

- I am going to start reading the New Testament soon to further increase my knowledge.

- I will be posting Islamic reminders for us all.

- I will debunk popular “facts” (not actual facts but opinions) on Islam.

- I will also post some poetry- recently discovered Rumi, I’m so obsessed!

Note:

- Be respectful.

- Ask me questions. In order for me to learn, I need more input. Other people won’t think the same as me so having more people ask me questions will honestly further help me.

-Again, I want to learn. I want all the world’s knowledge and I keep depriving myself. I made this account in hopes that I can learn and teach others what I know to the best of my knowledge.

- I am not a scholar. I do wish to be one one day, but as of right now, all of my facts will come from the Quran and Hadith (that are preserved).

- I do not wish to lie nor deceive anybody, my witness to my actions is God alone.

—————————————————————

I want to connect with people and be able to express my thoughts and feelings.

We are not perfect but I know striving to be better is all that matters, with that, I can’t wait to start up this account.

[kodieskhalwa]

It's ironic that I got into Islam right before Ramadan.

Anyways, I've been spending Ramadan by learning more about Islam at my own pace.

There's a free podcast of an English translation of the Quran that I've been listening to. Though, I am most definitely going to have to go back and read the Quran and take notes, as listening has only allowed me to memorize so much (as in only "don't be a disbeliever")

I have not been fasting BECAUSE I actually have a problem with starving myself due to my disabilities.(I do not have an eating disorder) I tend to only eat one meal a day before bed time.

Instead I've been really mindful about eating, and finding myself having an easier time with eating. I can't say I'm eating all that many calories, but I am eating more frequently. I've also gotten a routine down with drinking carnation breakfasts, a meal supplement drink, at least once a day so that's an extra ~220 calories I wasn't getting before. I'm very grateful for all this. I've been struggling for 2 years with not eating. It's just... interesting that during Ramadan I'm starting to gain some footing with eating(which wasn't planned)

If anyone has any.... hmmm.... I'll use the word "liberal" books on Islam, or Queer Islam books they can recommend, I'd love to read them. Anything explaining how Islam can fit into my life without the talks of punishment and fear is really what I'd like to read. Oh and especially a guide on prayer. I'm told there are certain things I have to say for each prayer session, but no one will link me to what those things are!

I'm sorry this is so long, and it may be didactic, but you don't have to reply to this. I'm a Muslim, and I struggled much like you. The topics such as the ones you mentioned are very nuanced, and you absolutely cannot start with them when you're trying to understand Islam. I will say, what's fairly straightforward is that men and women are spiritually equal in Islam, but their roles in society are not. Men are protectors and providers, whereas women, well... they don't have to do much except teach the children to be good. All the rest are cultural duties imposed on women, not associated with Islam.

First, you need to know why you're here. For me personally, I studied the core beliefs of all religions, and monotheism appealed to me the most. I liked the structure and accountability Islam provides, and the Quran is the only scripture I found my soul gravitating towards. After studying both science and theology, I couldn't imagine myself as an atheist, nor could I imagine myself following any other religion. Naturally, I stuck to Islam.

In your case, I get the feeling you don't yet have a strong relationship with God, whether the ones Muslims worship, or Christians, or any for that matter, but you are digging into matters of Islamic jurisprudence, which are highly intricate and complex. The Quran is not just any book; it's the word of God. You should know it took the companions weeks to reflect on a single verse after its revelation, and they were Arabs reading their native language. The Quranic lexicon is unimaginably difficult (not in matters of the faith's foundation; those are pretty straightforward, and also at the end of the day, what you need to know to do good, however, the fiqh is quite hard to grasp). English translations don't do it any justice, and for that, I personally learned Arabic. That is not to say you cannot be Muslim without it, but it might help you with understanding.

I would ask you to read 3:9. Knowing the asbãb al-nuzul (reasons for revelation) also helps. You will understand the context under which they were revealed (7th century Arabia), and it might make a little more sense to you. Imagine you're a bedouin living in the desert with 3 sex slaves, you hate women, you're drinking and whoring, and suddenly, God says, "Stop centuries of tradition right now, or I'll smite you." Sounds crazy, and those guys definitely would've gotten a flood or a bunch of locusts coming their way, which is why the Quran had to slowly, over the course of 23 years, change these traditions.

I understand how hard it can be to figure out your relationship with Islam, especially if you are detached from traditional views like gender roles, but you do have to reject modern notions (such as immodesty or sex work being empowering) to understand the depth of the religion. If you are a feminist, and you are looking for Islam to agree with those views radically, unfortunately, that will not happen, and you will only be left feeling more lost.

You have to study religion to understand God, not to find something that affirms all your personal opinions. If you're looking for a belief system that aligns perfectly with your views, that's not seeking truth. Real theology will challenge you, stretch you and confront you.

This isn't coming from a place of ill intent, and I hope you can find your way :) I will be praying for you <3 That said, if you decide it isn't for you, I hope you'll approach it and those who practice it with respect. Islam, like any religion, deserves to be engaged with sincerity, even if critically.

Thank you for explaining, please know that while questioning the religion I have no ill intent too. I am questioning and I am trying to understand too. I believe God is real, I have no doubt in that however I don't know if the God is like the religions says. I could not be an atheist, I am just not religious bc all religions sucks the way they act to women.

I hope you don't take my words in a bad way from now on. Ive listened the things you said from thousands of people before.There are some stuff I still don't understand so let's me explain.

If it is book for all of the times it can not just talk to that specific times and try to change things. The time period Holy Book was received was bad times, they were burying kids alive, no rights for women etc. So I understand it came out and it tried to change the situation for women and kids. It can't be drastic, which would spook people. However you can't expect people to believe in same rules even in 2025. Yes those rules were good for that time but they are not good for anyone for centuries now. It doesn't make sense to just follow the same logic 7th century.

Second is religion is too tied to Arab society and social rules. The religion is for them, it is trying to correct their social wrongs and behaviors. If this book is supposed to be for all the times and all the people then why it is speaking of culture of speacific group of people. Yes I understand that it is given to that specific group of people but it was not same for everyone why would I listen it. for example Turks were monogamous, Turkish women did not stay in home, they were also warriors and they were equal in spirit and rights. So it doesn't make sense to follow a religion that says yeah you can't marry more then 4 we already didn't do that.

Again, if it is for everyone in the world, lasts of books, the one and only right Holy book of all times why it is written in a way you can't understand without knowing the language. Word of God should be understand by everyone. If it is a rule book we must follow it should not be too complicated, the words should not have different interpretation. If everyone understands differently then how do we know what is the ultimate truth. Is is not the reason why there are so many sects now. sunni, shia etc etc is it not the reason they are fighting against each other. Does it make sense ? It is words of God it should not make any difference when it is translated bc it should be for everyone.

Words of Gods, books for every human on earth until the end of times but it is specifically designed for 7th century Arab continent and to understand you should know Arabic and not every Arabic bc it has dialect too and even if you know the language it is not easy to understand. Do you see how silly it looks? Why would I believe in these rules in 2025 as a Turk?

I woke up from a sleep and wrote this so idk if it makes sense.

However I refuse to accept a religion that doesn't see women equal to men. A religion that allows women to be beaten by their husbands. Two women witness equals one. You can't get your right of inheritance. You have to cover all of your body to go outside. it is a religion that says a woman's body hair even voice must be hidden. It is not for everyone on earth. It was specifically designed for Arabs and their culture. Then they should believe, not me.

[questionsonislam]

Why do we worship in Arabic? What if we do that in our own language?

When considered first, it seems more sensible for a believer to worship his Sustainer in his own language. However, when contemplated thoroughly, there appear different outcomes:

First, we need to make a clear distinction between prayers and stated prayers (namaz). In prayers, a believer presents his needs and wishes to his Sustainer in any language he wants. This is a personal matter and has to do with a servants presenting his own needs and wishes to his Creator directly without a means. In prayer, everyone can supplicate from Allah in his own language.

The stated prayer (namaz) is quite different from that. In Namaz, all Muslims regardless of languages and races gather as if to form a single body and worship Him collectively. In this worship, like hearts, the language also needs to be in unison. What is more, worship must be performed in the way in which Allah (SWT) commanded and how His Messenger (PBUH) described to.

If Islam were the religion of a particular region, race, or nation, no doubt only the language of this region, race, or nation could be used. However, there are Muslims who live in various places of the world, of various races, and speaks different languages. In order for them to perform stated prayers and to say prayers in the same language, they need to agree on the language of worship.

In international congresses and meetings, people speak an international language, which everyone may understand rather than their own languages.

Another aspect of the issue is that: No translation can ever replace the original form. The Quran is the word of Allah (SWT) and has been revealed in the Arabic language. Just as the creatures that come from the attribute of Power of Allah cannot be imitated, the Holy Quran cannot be imitated either, which comes from His attribute of Speech? And the translation of the Quran is not exactly the Quran Itself. That each letter yields at least ten merits is a Divine bounty to servants in exchange of repeating the words of Allah (SWT). For the translation of the Quran is no more the words of Allah (SWT), this significance disappears there. Man receives merits of not reading the Quran but of learning some things in terms of knowledge in the Quran.

Most of the words in stated prayers have also passed to our daily language. Most of Muslims know what Allah-u Akbar (Allah is most great), hamd (glorification to Allah), Rabb-ul Alemin (Allah of all beings), Ahad (The One), Samed (The Only) mean.

Although we learn by heart some foreign words such as inflation, deflation, economy, foreign exchange, could we ever be justified in not learning a few words, which are vital for worship?

Arabic grammar exercises may seem daunting at first, but with the right approach and understanding, mastering it can be a rewarding experience. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the essential rules of Arabic grammar with clear explanations and practical examples. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, these simple rules and examples will help you navigate the intricacies of Arabic grammar with confidence.

Introduction

Arabic grammar exercises forms the foundation of the language, governing how words are structured and sentences are formed. By understanding the basic rules of Arabic grammar, learners can communicate effectively and express themselves with clarity.

Understanding Arabic Sentence Structure

In Arabic, the typical sentence structure follows a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) pattern. For example:

Arabic: “ذهبتُ إلى المكتبة اليوم.”

English: “I went to the library today.”

Here, the subject “I” (أنا) performs the action of going (ذهبتُ) to the library (إلى المكتبة) today (اليوم).

Verb Conjugation in Arabic

Arabic verbs undergo various changes based on tense, person, and gender. Let’s consider an example:

Arabic: “أكتبُ رسالةً.”

English: “I write a letter.”

In this sentence, the verb “أكتبُ” (I write) is conjugated to match the first person singular pronoun “أنا” (I).

Noun and Pronoun Usage

Nouns and pronouns play a crucial role in Arabic sentences, indicating subjects, objects, and possession. For instance:

Arabic: “الطالبُ يقرأ الكتاب.”

English: “The student reads the book.”

Here, “الطالبُ” (the student) is the subject performing the action of reading (يقرأ) “الكتاب” (the book).

Prepositions in Arabic

Prepositions are essential for indicating relationships between words in Arabic sentences. Consider this example:

Arabic: “أنا في المنزل.”

English: “I am at home.”

The preposition “في” (in/at) indicates the location of the subject “أنا” (I) as “المنزل” (home).

Reading and Writing Practice

Practicing reading and writing is vital for reinforcing Arabic grammar concepts. Try writing paragraphs or short stories using the grammar rules discussed above. For example:

Arabic: “اكتب فقرةً عن يومك اليوم.”

English: “Write a paragraph about your day today.”

Hi! I don't know if this exactly fits for storytelling Saturday but it feels like the place to share. Please feel free to ignore this if it isn't what you're looking for/interested in. I just recently finished reading Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H for my LQBTQ+ book club and I found it really really interesting and it gave me a lot to think about. It is a memoir by a queer Muslim and follows her journey to the US and grappling with her sexuality alongside racism and islamophobia and struggling to find a community all while fitting these stories against and within stories and prayers from the Quran and discussing how she finds faith and peace through her religion.

I was raised Presbyterian, and I found it extremely interesting to listen to her tell stories that I knew - stories of Mary's virgin birth, Noah and his ark, Joseph and his brothers, and Moses freeing his people for example - and contemplate the differences between how I grew up learning those stories and how she was taught and learns to interpret them through her faith. But in addition to that I really loved the way she writes about questioning the stories, the translations, the meanings and digs deeper into all of it in a way that I am not sure I ever have. It led me to contemplate questions about the intersections of faith and womanhood and childbearing and putting a queer lens on readings, on the pronouns we use for God and the ability, the potential rightness even, of questioning some of the more surface level lessons and take aways from the stories and parables we are told. And throughout it all, she maintains both her faith and her queerness. And while she grapples with it, she never made it sound like the two were incompatible which is a narrative I have so rarely heard, much less seen published and applauded.

I'm really sorry this is so long and rambley, I kind of lost the plot there in the middle haha, but I am so fascinated by the feelings and questions this has helped surface for me. The idea that queer love and bravery and the forging of one's own path is not a negative but rather a spiritual experience, something to be done alongside God and with God, while also allowing for frustration and anger and sorrow, it just really hit me and I thought it was really special.

This totally fits, thank you for sharing it! I've actually had Hijab Butch Blues on hold at my library for a while now; now I'm extra excited for it to come in. I love when others' stories enrich and expand our understanding of our own. Very cool.

It's Storytelling Saturday! Share your story.
