If you haven’t read part 1, you should do so to understand this next part. You can read it here. There is also going to be another part after this one.
There was no going back in my mind. It was too late. I had screwed up big time and I could never again be happy. I contemplated what I was…
I suppose this is every Muslim girl’s nightmare. I am terrified of arranged marriage!

why three cups of tea sucks
claerwen:
ihatethismess:
My persistent suspicion for any bestseller that grapples with “the Muslim world” has been renewed. After hearing much kudos (from Muslims and non-Muslims alike) for Greg Mortenson’s Three Cups of Tea, I figured there might be a possibility that the contents of the book would be refreshing and unconventional. “Disappointed” doesn’t begin to describe my reaction. ...

Zeitgeist: Shiʿi →
floodplains:
Asʾsalāmu ʿalaykum sayyida Zahara,
Based off of what I have seen in your previous posts, the Shiʿa view on the Ṣaḥāba [RA], namely the ones closest to Rasūlu’Llah ﷺ, are degrading and erroneous, and far from rational. You must not have read the post on FLOODPLAINS entitled Succession, as it concisely elucidates the course of Islamic history in a response letter that the venerable...

Shiʿi
floodplains:
Q: What position did Shaykh Aḥmad al-Tijānī [RA] and Shaykh Ibrāhīm Nyāss [RA] take regarding the Shiʿa?
A: Both opposed the Shiʿa beliefs strongly.
Shaykh Aḥmad al-Tijānī [RA] made it clear that none in this umma can surpass the rewards and actions of the Ṣaḥāba [RA]. He [RA] also mentioned that in the waẓifa, the blessed Prophet ﷺ always attends with the four Rightly-Guided...

Ws.
The subject of this blog merits a follow.
May Allah hasten the reappearance of...

“Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.”
– Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) (via fairuzaa) (via lebanesebeauty)
I also remember reading a tradition which said that there is no goodness in a house which doesnot have kindness.

My younger brother is learning Japanese.
Of all the languages in the world, he chooses to learn Japanese!
I just don’t understand him.
What’s more, he wants me to learn Japanese too… that’s not going to happen!
I would rather learn Arabic, Persian, brush up my Urdu reading skills or learn Marathi. Marathi is the local language of Mumbai which I should have learnt in school but didn’t because I don’t...

Girls who wear pants can’t cook. Atleast that’s what some of the elderly ladies in my family believe!
I recently met up with my cousins and we had a good laugh over this though sometimes it’s not funny.
My woman wears trousers. She does not cook. I cook, however. I made some kick-ass burgers just tonight. All garlicky-like.
What about cupcakes? :P

Ask those who know
The Quran says:
Ask Those who know if You do not know (Quran 21:7 and 16:43)
This noble verse instructs the Muslims to refer to the people who know in all [things] which perplex them so that they may discern the path to the truth, because Allah, having taught them, has nominated them for that [purpose]. Their knowledge is deeply rooted and they know the interpretation of the Qur’an. So who...
