Sending my love and support to neurodivergent/disabled Muslims this Ramadan.

Muslims who can’t fast for health reasons. Your health always comes first. If you need to eat due to medication, diabetes, ED recovery, or any other reason, it’s good that you’re doing that. There’s so much more to Ramadan than just fasting.

Muslims who struggle with remembering salah or reciting Quran. Disabled Muslims who can’t perform the movements of salah the way that other Muslims do. Nonverbal Muslims who can’t pray or recite with mouth words at all.

Muslims who are immunocompromised and can’t go to things like taraweeh or iftar or praying in the masjid. I know that it’s isolating, I hope you’re able to still enjoy Ramadan and find community. Please keep yourself safe this month and always.

Muslimahs who can’t wear hijab due to sensory issues.

Muslims with sleep disorders who struggle to wake up for Fajr.

Muslims who struggle with addiction to alcohol, drugs, substances in general. Your addiction is not your fault and having addictions is not haram.

Muslims who are told that mental illness isn’t real, whose issues are swept aside.

I also want to give a special shout-out to queer Muslims. Muslims who are not able to present as the gender that they are. Muslims who don’t know which side of the mosque to go to. Muslims being pressured to find straight relationships, who have to hide their real relationships or the fact that they don’t want a relationship at all. Muslims who are out and proud, Muslims who are closeted. It goes the other way too. Muslims who face Islamophobia within the Queer community. Allah SWT made you just the way you’re supposed to be, you are not haram.

Shoutout to reverts as well, especially reverts who don’t have a Muslim community. Maybe no one around you even knows you’re Muslim at all. Maybe you’re eating and fasting and praying alone all month, but that won’t be forever. You’ll find your community.

Remember: “With hardship comes ease.” It’s okay if Ramadan is not an easy time for you, things will get better. Allah SWT tests those that He loves the most. You are not alone this month, you are never alone.

I am Fatima completely Feminized and Islamized converted by My Queen SarahBourn ! I am Fatima a Muslimah Woman And PROUD...........

[darulkhulood]

"The ideal Muslimah is proud of the great position that Islam has given her among humanity. She performs her duties knowing that her role is clearly defined and that her rights are still, even today, greater than what any other ideology has provided. She is a woman of moral excellence, true to her nature, not confused by alien and morally bankrupt ideas. She preserves her self-respect and dignity through her piety in obedience to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم..."

ya Allah, make me a better muslimah everyday, soften my heart, erase my sins, make it easy for me to obey You, to read Qur'an, to pray, to fast, to do good deeds that make You happy, to help others, to gain knowledge, to remove my bad habits and build good ones, to stay steadfast in deen. i ask you o the best Provider to grant me what's best for me, to bless me with happiness, berakah, peace, success, with a grateful heart, happy life, to guide me to the right path and help me be amongst the ones You love the most and You're proud of🤍

My country is becoming more and more racist to muslims. But it won't stop my conversion. So I made few AI images using my real face to show how proud I am to be a muslimah 💟☪️

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatahu sister. I must say I am very proud of you and your team to keep growing in this particular platform. I used to be your very old follower and I have also sent you a few anon asks. I appreciate for your patience and sorry for my rantings. I appreciate for your replies to my every ask. 🤍 It fills me with joy to recieve a big-sissy-kind-of advice from you. My mumma is too an admirer of your beautiful knowledge despite your age. I previously deleted my Tumblr account because I was in my low point of life. And again created a new one just to thank you, I realised I was ungrateful for such a blessing. Subhanallah! I am an adult and in my college. I often spend my time alone because sadly my Muslim University doesn't have much practicing friends from my department. I am no one to judge but I know things won't go right if I join them. I always fantasy to marry a man of my dreams and probably a best friend would be a bonus. So I make dua in tahajjud everyday and ask Allah a number of things. I ask him from A to Z and I don't compromise in asking cause I know he is the Giver and the Provider. Buuuuuuuuttttttt as I make these duas I get constant bad thoughts in my mind and start to doubt Allah's power to fullfill my duas. I start to doubt to a point where I get demotivated to even make one dua. I rush my prayers, I rush my dhikr, I rush in everything and I get impatient to get my dua accepted. I have seen a lot of YouTube videos where muslimah just posts how their tahajjud duas got accepted few days ago, some said next hour. It baffles me and I ask myself, "how come my dua doesn't get accepted?", "How come they get everything they want whereas I don't?", "Did I commit too many sins to even get any dua acceptance?" And so I tried saying Astagfirullah 200 times after each 5 prayers. Sometimes I miss them due to classes. I have also recently unfollowed a muslimah social media influencer who never attended any University and is of my age. She has got beauty, health, weath and support. She vlogged her whole life for 3 years and showed how she got engaged and married and even gave birth few weeks ago. I was like, "woah! must be a true believer" and I almost start to cry over my life problems and sufferings and all. And I know this too that usually social media doesn't show the reality but sometimes it hurts so much that I tend to see what's really in front of me and not take a deeper look into it. Please help me how should I overcome such negative thoughts and feelings. And what else do I need to get my specific duas accepted in tahajjud? I'm not ungrateful, I am just impatient. How do I master patience? P.s: some of my duas got accepted and I am grateful for it. But negative thoughts just kicks in you know. 💔😢 The devil doesn't take a break.

Assalamualaikum habibty 🥹🥹🥹💗

MashaaaaaAllah such a long multidimensional ask :') where do I start?

First of all, I would like to apologize for the delayed answer, as you may know, the genocide happening right now in Gaza is taking a toll on all of us and our mental health, I am trying my best to deal with my survivor's guilt and find strength to function as normally as possible. Allahu al mustaān.

With that being said, thank you thank you thank you for the kind words, may Allah swt bless you and your momma, and grant her good health and happiness ameeeeeen !! I appreciate your words habibty, Jazaki Allahu kulla khayr 🤍 Sometimes I forget that we have been doing this for a while, and that our posts and answers have helped sisters through different periods of their lives, it helps to be reminded, alhamdullillah 🤍

O Allah swt make me better than what they think of me and forgive me what they don't know about me :')

Now let's talk about your negative thoughts. Those are basically shaytan trying to pull you far from Allah swt and distract you habibty. As we know, shaytan's biggest promise/challenge is to distract the slave of Allah from their worship. So whatever you are focusing on, shaytan will come and try to pull you as far as possible from that. And the harder you stick to that act of worship (in your case duaa and Tahajjud) the harder shaytan will try and fight you. But you have to put in mind one thing: Allahuma barik laki, you are already winning by waking up and praying Tahajjud, you are already winning the Love of Allah swt. Tahajjud is not for everyone, it is only for the brave hearts and the pure hearts, they say that Allah swt invites his beloved slaves for Tahajjud, it is like a superpower, so you should know, waking up for Tahajjud is already unlocking doors for you and taking you up many levels in Jannah in shaa Allah, regardless of whether the duaas are accepted or not. And that is one thing you should be comforted by I hope.

As for duaas being accepted, there are a lot of lectures online by expert shuyookhs and imams who talk about this matter. What they have almost all agreed upon is that making duaas is in itself a beloved act of worship to Allah swt and you'll be rewarded just for that. Then Allah swt has three ways or responses to your duaas: 1) yes, now. 2) yes but not now, later. 3) no that's not good for you but I have something better for you.

And we don't interfere with Allah's timing my dear. All you have to do is ask and leave things in His hands. It is a matter of faith. It is sufficient that you truly believe that Allah swt knows what's best for you and when is the right time to give it to you my dear. You just have to believe that and be at peace with not knowing, and be at peace with waiting. You did mention Sabr, patience, which is crucial in waiting for our duaa response. Prophet Yaqub (as) waiting his whole life for Yusuf (as) to come back to him, he knew in his heart that Allah swt will reunite him with his son, and he never despaired. It took years and years but he never lost hope, or felt frustrated. And that's just one example.

But anyways, if you need to strengthen your chances of your duaas being accepted, you need to start and finish your duaas with sending salaams and prayers upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and you need to ask Allah swt with His specific names, so for example, if you are asking Allah for forgiveness you need to use His names that carry the meaning of forgiveness ( Al Ghaffar, Al Ghafour, Al Ghafir..) and if you are asking for rizq in marriage, ask Him swt by His names Ar-razzaq (the provider/ sustainer), Al-Wadud ( the loving one) .. Al Fatih (the opener).. Al Aleem (The knower of all..) etc.

+ about the topic of rushing after prayer, I do struggle with the same issue sübhanallah, and here is a personal hack that helps me with it. I am a visual person I need visual reminders, so what I would do is make notes on papers, I would write the after-salah adhkar, some duaas, tasbeeh.. and stick them on the wall in my salah corner so when I finish my salah it is right there in front of me I can't skip it. But if you're rushing to go to class then stick to the bare minimum: Ayatul kusee after every fard (obligatory salah) and on your way to class say Sübhanallah x10 Alhamdullillah x10 Allahu akbar x10, and you're all set in shaa Allah 😚 See, Islam is beautifully easy and simple if you want to simplify it. Sübhanallah, our deen is that of ease 🤍

To conclude, I don't want to make this any longer for you, for the negative thoughts keep in mind that it is from shaytan and he is only trying to distract you, whenever you feel like you're slipping into that hole pull back by saying I seek refuge in Allah swt from Shaytan, say la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah x100 a day if you can as well.

I will leave you with this simple but powerful duaa:

Allahuma aenee alaa thikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatika : O Allah, help me with remembering you, thanking you, and well-worshipping you.

I, from the bottom of my heart, pray Allah swt grants you ease, relief and comfort habibty. May Allah swt grant your heart its biggest wishes and reward you with an immense joy that makes you burst into tears, soon ya rab ..

Fi Aman Allah my precious one 💗

- A. Z. 🤍🍃

Some thoughts

There was this one particular summer where I had the urge of taking off my hijab. I am a very self conscious person, and being a minority in the Netherlands amplified everything. At times I just wanted to be identified as an Asian, not a muslim. When I went to a music festival in the city center, there’s this one lady who was just having the time of her life. She danced as if no one’s watching. I know I couldn’t do that even without my hair being covered - but with my hijab it was clearly out of the picture. What would they think? I placed the burden of being a good muslimah representative on my shoulders. I have to always behave. 

Another night I was walking around the square with a friend, and since it was already dark there was not many place we could go to and we went to a bar. I think I was more nervous than the bartender (he was super chill, btw) - my friend ordered a beer and the bartender gave me a glass of water. We talked there for quite some time, and my self consciousness told me that I should not be there and that I might make other people feel uncomfortable. As a person whose main goal in life is not to be a burden and not to discomfort others, I could not help but to think that the hypothetical stares would disappear if I let my hair shown like everybody else.

But still, I was too proud. I knew that it was most probably a phase. That I would have wanted to put the hijab back on after, maybe, a month or two - and I did not like the fact that I would have to ditch the commitment I made to myself (and, ehm, to God) for the chance of feeling a bit more freedom. Yes, freedom. The freedom of not being identified as a muslim, to fade in the background, to blend with the masses, to be free from the judgment of others and - more importantly - my own judgment. To have the possibility of doing whatever the hell I wanted without being associated to what might be the most misunderstood religion in this world. I wanted to protect myself, but I also wanted to protect Islam. 

Back in November 2019 I had an appointment (a date?) with a guy friend from my class. I even had this plan of wanting to just show up without my hijab and was very curious as to how he would react to that. Fortunately I was wise enough not to do so. Because it was November and the Dutch wind is ruthless - we had to queue in the cold for a few hours and I remembered feeling so grateful because I was covered. I was free from the need to continuously keep my hair neat, to not having cold feet and legs and arms in case I decided to take off my coat, to having warmed ears and neck. Funny how I had the word “free” to describe both my wanting to take off my hijab and my gratefulness of wearing it.

Tbh I might made a totally different decision had I had a more easily managed hair. To me, it all came back to practicality. I simply did not want to spare the time to style my hair everyday, plus my hair would require a lot of maintenance to even look decent. Or it would just always be up in a bun and a ponytail anyway. Combined with the possibility of always having a cold neck and ears during fall and winter? It was a no thanks from me. Then I resorted to what I believe the most: “Indeed, Allah knows what is best for us.”

One of my housemate took off her hijab and I still remembered the day she decided to “come out”. It was the 2019 presidential election and basically all Indonesians came to Wassenaar for a queueing torture in a crazy weather (from sunny to misty to rain to snow all in under 3 hours). She came with her scarf around her neck, hair totally out. I could see that she was nervous, and all of our friends have this perplexed look on their faces. It was interesting. Nobody asked intrusive question, though. In the background they just asked me if it was for good and I confirmed it and we get back on with our lives. 

The truth is everybody has their own very personal journey and it is never our place to judge. Everybody has their own reasons and nobody owes anybody explanation.
