5 months postpartum
It feels like time is flying. My perfect little boy is growing up too fast. He now rolls over by himself. He has become very curious and will be starting real food soon.
It feels so surreal. How did I grow such a perfect little human. His smiles at 3am feeding makes me forget my exhaustion and soreness. The way he seeks me out in the morning, the smile when I say "good morning" in my half asleep state. God, I love it all!
Sometimes I take the time to look through my posts on here to appreciate how far I've come in my journey. Alhamdulillah I'm so grateful. May Allah protect my little circle of peace and love!

October 11th, 2024 - Friday
In a half-moved state of being lol half my belongings are in one place and the other half in another place. I’m trying to live a new life while also trying to continue my old life at full force. It’s exhausting yet exciting, foreign yet familiar, terrifying yet comforting. I am a living juxtaposition. All I can do is spread my old comforter onto a new bed and make new plans in an old planner (and read sometimes to escape 📚 )

Whenever a (non muslim) white person uses common arabic words and phrases it always comes across to me as if they're mocking them. Even if it isn't the case it still just doesn't sit right with me.

tips for writing muslim characters
except im a muslim, born and raised
dont mix it up with arab characters, yes a muslim can be arab and muslim but theres a difference. the link to my post abt writing arabs is here
first and foremost, not all muslims are arabs, and not all arabs are muslims. yes, most terminology and the holy book is in arabic, but that doesnt mean its exclusively arabs
indonesia (not an arab country) has the highest population of muslims worldwide
the arab country with the most christians is egypt, but the arab country with the highest population of christians is lebanon 
not all practicing muslim women wear hijab (some extremely religious women might not wear a hijab)
five prayers a day: fajr (before sunrise), zuhr (midday), asr (afternoon), maghreb/maghrib (sunset), ishaa (nighttime)
call to prayer is known as 'azan', you can listen to it on youtube
muslims use the lunar calendar (known as the hijri calendar), which also has 12 months but its around two weeks shorter than the gregorian calendar. most people only remember the ninth month: ramadan
fasting consists of not eating/drinking from fajr until maghrib. you stop as soon as the azan for fajr sounds, and you can start again as soon as the azan for maghrib sounds. you fast for the entire month of ramadan, but its also encouraged to fast on mondays, thursdays, and the 14th/15th/16th days of each month of the hijri calendar
allah isnt the name of god. allah is the arabic word for 'god'
women dont have to cover up completely until puberty, athough some girls cover up before then and other women dont cover up at all
women can be religious and not cover up
the word 'hijab' doesnt show up in the quran, its 'khimar'. hijab is to cover up completely, not just hair. you cant wear a headscarf with a short sleeved shirt
men have to cover up too. from their navel to their knees absolutely has to be covered up, and (in most islamic cultures, not necessarily exactly religious) they cover up their chests as well 
also men are told to avert their gazes from women more than women are told to cover up. youd find a lot of men in muslim countries not looking up from the floor when walking, especially in areas w a lot of women
kids by the age of eight can usually recite at least four chapters from the quran (the first one and the last three, mostly. it doesnt matter if theyre not arab)
if you want to use verses from the quran for whatever reason, i recommend quran.com
theres only one version of the quran. the same copy thats existed for 1400 years and millions of people have memorized it
on that note, people who memorize the quran are called hafiz, and there isnt a particular age. theres a three year old hafiz and a woman who didnt memorize it until age eighty three
there are two different sources for islamic law: the quran (holy book), and hadith (quotes of the prophet). dua' is completely different, its a prayer used to ask help from god, but unlike the five prayers, it doesnt really require a specific ritual. you just sit, face the direction of mecca, and say the dua'
superstitions are haram, but muslims do believe in black magic (its sihr in arabic and its one of the biggest sins) and djinn (there are djinn muslims but theyre widely regarded somewhat like monsters who encourage/help you to do black magic)
allahu akbar means "god is greater" or "god is the greatest". it isnt used as a signal to blow people up, and it isnt a term used purely by islam extremists
assalamu aleikum / waaleikum assalam mean, respectively, "peace be upon you" and "and peace be upon you too" basically just our way of just saying "hi" along with the reply
subhanallah means "glory be to god" usually when witnessing a miracle or when amazed
mashaallah - there arent any exact english equivalents but it means "what god wills". usually for compliments or to protect someone from evil eye
insha'allah - simply "god willing" but we use this when talking about the future (like "will you come to school?" "insha'allah" or "we'll get the gift, right?" "insha'allah"). can be replaced by the lesser used "bi'ithn illah"
alhamdu lillah - "praise be to god" or "thanks be to god. used in the way you might imagine, but also as a way to express that youre doing fine. "how are you doing today, sister?" "alhamdu lillah" (also when finishing a meal / finishing drinking water)
astaghfir ullah - "i seek forgiveness from god" whenever we see someone do something haram or when we ourselves do something haram and wish to repent
bismillah - "in the name of god" we use this whenever we begin something. a lot of arab literature starts with this. every chapter im the quran starts with this. every meal starts with saying this before eating
you can submit asks if you have any questions, but try to be a lil specific !!
feel free to rb with more info :)

A silly prompt based on this post about using Arabic phrases in daily life
The urge to make Orion and Zach use these phrases bc they grew up in muslim households so theyre used to these phrases being said or saying them
They use them less in SC because they dont know how other Shadows would feel/react to it bc of how terrible/stereotypical muslims get potrayed in western media but sometimes on missions where there are only 2 of them, they would use it for shits and giggles
"2-7 to 2-15, target neutralized." - Zach (2-7)
[a beat of silence] "Alhamdullilah, good work Lt." - Orion (2-15)
"PFT- You can't just drop that on me, Cap'! Bodoh lah, aku penat ngan kau ni kau tau tak?" (Fucking stupid, I'm tired of you, you know that?) - Zach
"Coming from the religious man himself? That's an achievement, Mashaallah." - Orion
"STAWP- [radio crackling due to 2-7's attempt to stop laughing] Formerly religious and I'm gonna beat your ass later, 2-15." - Zach
"[small chuckle] I'll be waiting, 2-7. Now get out of there, Captain's orders." - Orion, smug
Theyre just sillies istg 😭😭

i sent a picture of spock in return of the archons to my friend once because i was like lol why is he so cunty rn and my friend was like "wow he is wearing hijab. mashaallah sister spock" and it was the funniest fucking shit. i cant see him in that fit without thinking "mashaallah sister spock" anymore
also they say come way too many times in that episode and i am very immature. all it takes is "YOU WILL COME" and im snort laughing
all this to say. return of the archons is very funny to me. way more funny than it should be
Lol, sounds like you and your friend are having fun! Finding humor and joy in things is always good!

Honestly, I love the meanings of inshaAllah and mashaAllah. "If God wills it" and "It is as God intended" like COME ON THEN, THE POETRY OF LANGUAGE!!!! 😤😤 like now in my head I say those things in response to certain things and it just... I feel like it carries so much more power and emotion that I'm feeling.

Har baat aur har poetry ka jawab poetry se dene ka feature to badhiya hai aapke paas, Mashaallah! 👌, now I should say i prefer most what you reblog than what you post😂
Matlab mere posts ab ache nahi lagte?😔🥺😂
Bohot acha haina feature,per iss feature ke bohot saare side effects hai.Sirf poetry hi nahi mujhe politics,history,theology,geopolitics,philosophy padhne ki aadat hai.Aur ekbaar padh liya toh bhulta nahi mai.Inn sari cheezo mai bohot saare negative cheeze hai jo mujhe baar-baar yaad aati rehti hai aur mai bohot zyaada pareshaan ho jata hu.Bas ab kya kare aadat hai.

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

Opinion 1.
Self love/care is misconstrued and can easily be detrimental to one’s imān if not understood and practiced with moderation.
Why? Bc service to man is service to Allah. When we take away the beauty of doing for others and sacrificing our little comfort and giving of ourselves, we take the blessing out of our lives.
Why? we become so self absorbed and selfish. our decisions are based on the I, even if others are wronged in the process. Which is what we see happening all over social media. We’ve become so ignorant about reality we have people fighting over pronouns. And other major issues. Which is sad. But it all stems from this entitlement born from self care. My rights. My comfort. Me me mr me bleh.
Anyways my point, we were not created to become vain. But to worship Allah. And self care, so easily becomes self worship.
May Allah guide me first and grant me understanding and practise. امين.
December has provoked my noisy opinions.
