palestinian poets: yahya hassan
yahya hassan was a poet and political activist, a stateless palestinian with a danish passport. he grew up in an abusive household in gellerup parken, a housing project with a large migrant population on the outskirts of aarhus, the second-largest city in denmark. beginning as a teenager he had multiple run-ins with the danish criminal legal system and state institutions. as such he was passionate about criticizing both denmark and his own palestinian community for failing his generation.
his eponymous first collection of poems, published in in 2013 when he was only eighteen years old, sold over 120,000 copies, and he received wide acclaim and frequently performed his work at public readings. but his anger against the way islam was practiced in his own community also had him receiving backlash. you can read more about his life and the way he and his work was received in this lit hub article by jamal mahjoub.
his second poetry collection, yahya hassan 2, was released a few months before his untimely passing at the age of 24, on april 29th, 2020.

Damn. Saw your post about being a minority POC in Denmark and how you've always got confused with Middle Eastern people, Muslims, or... Catholics? Feels like a toil to get through.
Does make me wanna ask about your stance on the "where are you from?" question. I know it's a question with justifiable bad rep, especially when that person does see themselves as part of the local community, their looks be damned. But I also know I would love to ask something like this because I wanna learn about that person's life thoughts and experiences.
If I were to ask you something like this in real life, Pie, how would you wish I would go about my wording? So that the answers elicited from you will be interesting, it will tell me more about you, feel cordial, and make you feel comfortable?
My go-to answer for this question involves taking as long as physically possible to give the person the answer that they want. I know they only ask it because they want to know why I'm brown, so I take forever to actually get there. A very normal outcome is this:
Them: where are you from?
Me: a town about a 15 minute's drive from here
T: where are you originally from?
M: well, I used to live in a different region of the country, I think my accent is mostly gone though
T: before that?
M: before we moved to Denmark then my family lived in England, that's where I was born, but I only lived there for about 3 years
T: where are your parents from?
M: my dad was born and raised in Denmark
T: and your mom?
M: oh, she's Brazilian
They stop asking questions after I finally say my mom's Brazilian lol
Also in regards to religion, most Danes really do not know much about other religions. They know there's Christians and they think there's just protestants and catholics. Most aren't even aware that they're lutherins!! They also know of Muslims and Jews but nothing about the actual religions. I know some Danes know of Ramadan, but that's mostly only if they have an Islamic classmate.
Growing up, I was constantly asked "why aren't you getting confirmed?" so I'd have to explain that I'm not a protestant or a catholic. They'd always get surprised and insist there's only two types of Christians and I'd said there's tens of thousands of denominations. At that point, they get confused and bored and give up before I can do my spiel about my very tiny denomination

Danish spring eats my whole soul with sunny days and cherry blossoms Flirting with the longing of hot summer nights where everybody is in love where we forget all the bad politics, It is the season where you bathe your hair in oils, turmeric face masks, And cumin in salads, The season where Ramadan is A love poem Danish Ramadan heals my soul With spring rain and full moons Where sacrificing the body is the least One can do for the afterworld's beauty For the Most Merciful Creator Riding on the bike through Copenhagen Like a local Like I am more than an immigrant with eyes on my mouth, they will ask me if I need saving But do they not know that we will never be thankful until our Palestine is returned to us Until we can break the fast with a Palestinian date without feeling the pain in its sweetness Until my Afghans can fall asleep in silk, And eat Kabuli Pulao in Kabul without dreaming of Europe Until we can pronounce the name of these countries Without agony? Danish Ramadan in the spring, at the local bazaar looking for the fruitful watermelon, Looking for my mother’s eyes, Asking for the red lentils, Wondering how did I became a woman? When I am not even the half of my mother’s sacrifices I would never sell my hunger for this city, but sometimes I wonder what would feel like to take everything without asking Without considering my heritage, Without considering their values? What about my values? Danish Ramadan, I fall in love with the man of my dreams, Holding hands in the moonlight, Driving all over Nørrebro, at night it feels like we are in our homeland, like a palm tree might grow out of peace here Where the night is the most you get out of your day Where the old uncles are drinking Turkish tea, and asking you to recite your favorite prayer And you will always recite the most love-full prayer, the one where The Creator is introduced as Ar-Rahmanul Rahim Danish spring with moody weather, Like women who are exempted from fasting, eating cake in the brightness of the day That put more salt in their men’s food out of love, out of mercy Breaking the fast at sunset while your wife’s eyes shine brighter than the sunrise And we meet again at Fajr, where we slow-dance in our Abayas and you ask me if I will be this gentle for the rest of our lives? There is so much fever in the world, but this Holy Month reminds us of my Lord’s promises and I promise my husband that indeed I will be gentle for the rest of our lives
Danish Ramadan from The Immigrations Series by Royla Asghar

ڈنمارک میں پردیسیوں کے طویل ترین روزے
مسلم پرو نامی ایپلیکشن کے مطابق میرے علاقے میں نمازِ عشاء کا وقت رات گیارہ بج کر پچیس منٹ (11:25) ہے، جب کہ نمازِ فجر کا وقت دو بج کر پنتالیس منٹ (2:45) ہے، اب نماز عشاء اور تروایح کے بعد سحری کا وقت کتنا بچتا ہے؟ اِس کا حساب کتاب آپ پر چھوڑے دیتے ہیں۔ سکینڈے نیویا میں آج کل موسمِ گرما چل رہا ہے، یہاں کے لمبے دن اور لمبی راتوں کو چھ ماہ دن اور چھ ماہ رات کی طرح سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ آج کل جو چند گھنٹوں کے لئے سورج غروب ہوتا ہے، اِس کو رات کہا جاتا ہے۔ غروبِ آفتاب کا وقت گزشتہ روز نو بج کر چالیس منٹ (9:40) تھا اور طلوع آفتاب قریباً چار چالیس (4:40) رہا۔ ایسے دنوں اور اِس موسم میں روزے رکھنا کئی طرح سے صبر آزما ہے۔
پردیس میں نماز اور روزے یا دیگر عبادات کا رنگ وطن کے گلی کوچوں سے بہت مختلف ہوتا ہے، کہیں سے اللہ اکبر کی صدا نہیں آتی، کوئی اعلان کی زحمت نہیں کرتا، باہر جاتی ہوئی دھوپ اور ہلکے اندھیروں سے خود ہی اندازے لگانے ہوتے ہیں یا مسلم پرو طرز کی ایپلیکشنز ہی ساتھ دیتی ہیں۔ کام کے ساتھ اِس طویل روزے کو نبھانا اور اِن اوقات کا گزارنا کافی مشکل ہے۔ جیسے اگر آپ کسی دفتر میں کام کرتے ہیں اور صبح آٹھ بجے دفتر جاتے ہیں تو کب سوئیں گے کہ دفتر وقت پر پہنچیں؟ عملی طور پر چھ گھنٹوں کی رات میں افطار اور سحر کو نپٹانا اور کام کے معاملات کو ساتھ ساتھ چلانا خاصا مشکل ہے پھر بھی بہت سے لوگ ماہِ رمضان کی برکتیں سمیٹتے نظر آتے ہیں۔ لیکن بہت سے لوگ غالب سے بھی آگے کے مسلمان ہیں جن کے پاس کھانے کو تو سب کچھ ہے مگر پھر بھی روزہ ہی شوق سے کھاتے ہیں۔
سیاسی اور سماجی طرز کی افطاریوں کا بھی خوب اہتمام کیا جاتا ہے۔ اپنے اپنے قبیلوں اور ہم خیال لوگوں کو کسی ہوٹل، ہال یا گھر میں بلا کر لوگ افطاریاں کرتے ہوئے بھی نظر آتے ہیں۔ سکینڈے نیویا میں بعض مقامات ایسے بھی ہیں جہاں عملی طور پر یوں لگتا ہے کہ رات آئی ہی نہیں۔ اِن حالات میں بھی روزے رکھنے والے اِس فرض سے نہیں چوکتے، لیکن اِس قدر طویل روزے کو کیسے نبھایا جائے یہ سوال اپنی جگہ موجود ہے۔ ایسی جگہیں کہ جہاں روزے اِس قدر طویل ہیں، وہاں سحر و افطار کا فیصلہ کیسے کیا جائے؟
کچھ علماء کا خیال ہے کہ قریب ترین معلوم مقام کے سحر و افطار کے مطابق روزے رکھے جائیں، جبکہ کچھ علماء کا یہ بھی کہنا ہے کہ مکہ مکرمہ میں سحر و افطار کے مطابق بھی روزہ رکھا جا سکتا ہے۔ میرے علم میں کچھ دوست ایسے آئے ہیں جو اِس طرز کے روزے رکھ رہے ہیں یعنی یہاں عصر کا وقت ہوا ہو گا تو وہ سعودی عرب کے وقت کے مطابق افطار کر لیں گے۔ اب ایسے ��الات میں کن اطوار پر عمل پیرا ہونا چاہیئے؟ یہ فیصلہ اہل علم و عمل پر چھوڑتے ہیں۔ ہم ایسے لوگ ہیں، جن کو یورپ میں آئے ابھی چھ سات برس ہی ہوئے ہیں جن کی جڑیں ابھی تک اِس زمین میں نہیں لگ پائیں۔ اِن کو ایسی صورت حال میں سب سے زیادہ پریشانی کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ دو تین عشروں کا عمل ایک طرف اور چند سالوں کا وطیرہ ایک طرف۔ میرے لئے تو روزہ سورج کے اگنے کے ساتھ شروع ہوتا ہے اور سورج غروب ہونے پر ہی افطار ہوتا ہے۔
ابھی آغازِِ رمضان ہے، بے شمار دوست پردیس کی مشکل زندگیوں کے ساتھ ساتھ رمضان کی فرض عبادت کو محبت سے ادا کر رہے ہیں۔ اللہ تعالی اِن سب کے روزے قبول کرے اور اِس محنت کے توسط جس صبر و استقلال کے پھل کے متمنی ہم ہوتے ہیں خدا کرے کہ وہ ہم سب کو نصیب ہو۔ غیرمسلم پوچھتے ہیں کہ اتنی دیر بھوکا پیاسا آدمی کیسے رہ سکتا ہے؟ میں اِن سے کہتا ہوں کہ روزہ ایک جذبے کا نام ہے، پروردگار کے حکم سے اپنی جائز خواہشات پر قابو پالینے کا نام، کسی خواہش سے خود کو روک لینے کا نام، روزہ بھوک اور پیاس سے بڑا ہے۔ اگر یہ بھوک صرف پیٹ کی ہو تو میں کب کا ہار مان جاؤں مگر یہ تو میرے رب کا حکم ہے اور یہی جذبہ مجھے مجبور کرتا ہے کہ خواہ سامنے خوان دھرے ہوں یا میووں کے ڈھیر پڑے ہوں میں اُن کو ہاتھ تک نہ لگاؤں گا۔
رمضان رفیق

☀️ 🎃 🏝 for Ru, Carey and Farid, please!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☀️ Time of day
Carewyn is an afternoon/evening person. She ends up working very late hours because she's a workaholic, but she usually needs coffee to get through those nights. (She needs even more of it to get through mornings, which are her immortal enemy.)
Ru is a night person. They love the peaceful tranquility of night out in the country, away from the hustle and bustle of big cities, though admittedly they can get into taking pictures and such of nighttime cities now and again, if they're there for a visit.
Farid is a sun-up-to-sun-down person. He does best when the sun is up and everything is bright and awake.
🎃 Holiday
Carewyn loves Christmas best. It's always been a special time for her, Jacob, and Lane as a time where they can bake cookies and sing carols together, and even as an adult, she always makes her way back to her mother's cottage for Christmas to spend it with her and Jacob, even once she adopts Erik and becomes legal partners with Orion.
Ru is a little confused about the idea of holidays overall, but they always get a kick out of Halloween. They love getting into the act of scaring people (since Ru isn't easily spooked themselves and enjoys horror/gory sorts of stories) and enjoy the creativity of everyone's weird costumes.
Farid always looks forward to Eid ul-Fitr, or the end of Ramadan, when families decorated their homes and get together for a huge dinner full of sweet treats. After a month of fasting, being able to cook and eat with his family makes Farid that much happier. He also, oddly enough, really enjoys New Year's Eve (or, in Ireland, Oíche Chinn Bliana) celebrations, even though the Muslim calendar celebrates the start of the new year at a different time. Farid doesn't like how often people drink at such events, but he likes being able to attend a party in his hometown with his family and "ring in the new year" with lots of good food and fireworks.
🏝 Place to go
Carewyn's kind of a homebody, largely because of how much of a workaholic she is, but she still loves to take some time off work to visit Orion and Eos in their cabin in the woods in Montrose. She also will always have a soft spot for Hogwarts -- the few times she's been able to return post-graduation always make her so happy.
Ru likewise has a large soft spot for Hogwarts school, but their favorite place is their cottage in Denmark with their OTL Estrid @thatravenpuffwitch. The garden is one of Ru's favorite places to spend their time, both planting new things and tending to what's already there, as well as taking a short dip in the pond in their regular form.
Farid loves the Magical Creature Preserve at Hogwarts, as well as the woods of Ireland like the kind he used to explore as a kid, but his favorite place will always be "home," whether with his parents, brother, and sister when he's younger or with his wife Reva @lifeofkaze when he's older.
OC Favorites!
