When you lose your sleep over your love for #Rasulullah (salal lahu alayhi wa salim) You doodle. Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you who believe! Send your blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.

When @washingtonpost interviews @sadafsyedart after @muslimgirl founder @amani announces her run for a seat at the Congress. Of course, I had a lot more to say about how Islam empowers Muslim women but this is what made the cut. 💁🏻‍♀️ . . #election2020 #amanialkhatahtbeh #sadafsyed #icover #sadafsyedart #Muslim women #election #politics #usa #americanmuslimwomen #congresswoman #ilhanomar #rashidatlaib #media #photojournalism @instastory #picoftheday #instawomen #journalism #media #muslimwomen #woke #womensday #muslimgirl #muslimgirlarmy #art #washingtonpost #washpostphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qlfYqDXHs/?igshid=1qu5pnfgnm0d

“To be able to win a Daybreak Book Award for my photo documentary book iCOVER means a lot to me. Daybreak Press Publishing is founded and run by all female employees, whom I happen to admire so much. Similarly, that’s how iCOVER was created. iCOVER was nurtured by creative females in order to celebrate moments in the day-to-day lives of these Muslim women - moments that the average American can relate to once they embrace the fact that these women wear hijab.” - Sadaf Syed @sadafsyedart, Daybreak Book Award Winner for Best Nonfiction Book (iCOVER) . .

Happiness depends on your attitude with God. Whatever and whoever is meant for you will always be yours. Allah (God) will give it to you at the best of times and at the best moment. All it takes is some patience and faith. . . @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed #sadafsyedart #photographer #instaphoto #photo #believe #faith #travel #art #author #quotes #islam #abrahamicreligions #God #culture #happiness #attitude https://www.instagram.com/p/B1t4WZEgBgL/?igshid=1a29fecy5ub4q

I have had the privilege to visually capture the stories of our brave and empowering members of our Muslim community in Chicago for an upcoming project, God Willing. There’s one thing that most of them have in common thus far. The deeper their struggles, the bigger their hearts. This is the Muslim hospitality that you will often not hear about. Let me tell you, sometimes it only takes one cup of tea or a sincere heart who is willing to listen without preconceived notions. In this photograph, I am with a Bosnian brother who was in a CONCENTRATION CAMP. Let that soak in for a bit. Despite his emotional, physical, mental struggles (even years later) he did not let me go home empty handed. That’s a true character of a Muslim. “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” - Khalil Gibran Photo & caption: @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed #sadafsyedart @chicagomuseum . . #bosnia #bosna #immigrants #bosnianrefugees #survival #concentrationcamp #refugees #photo #photodocumentary #oralhistory #visualstories #chicagorefugees #chicago #chicagohistorysociety #chicagohistorymuseum #lovenotwar #instaphoto #photooftheday #muslimrefugees #author #photographer #books #arts #humanstories #peopleoftheworld #muslimsoftheworld https://www.instagram.com/p/B06zGMvgWF5/?igshid=15he7y40jiwpf

No Prayer is Complete Without Presence - #Rumi . Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity where Jesus (as) is believed to be born. Bethlehem is just over the wall that separates Israel and Palestine, about six miles away (from Jerusalem). For over a hundred years both the Mosque of Omar and the Church of the Nativity been across the street from one another. Jesus and Mary (Peace be upon them) are both dear to Muslims and Christians alike.

The Blessed Tree A #tree I’ve been wanting to visit and Alhumdullilah recently had the opportunity to be in its company. 🌳 🙏🏼💚 The land where this #blessedtree is planted is in the middle of nowhere. It’s dry and there’s no other living plants or creations around it. When we arrived to #Jordan we were blessed with continuous rain for two days. Next to the blessed tree (in this photo) is water collected from the rain. A sight you normally wouldn’t see. This tree was blessed to be touched by #RasulAllah (salal lahu alayhi wa salim) as a young boy as he rested under its shade. It is known that the branches bent to give his mubarak body shade when travelling with their trading caravan and his uncle Abu Talib to Syria. It was during this trip that the monk Bahira recognised the signs of prophethood and warned his uncle to protect him and send him back to Mecca. "The Prophet sitting under this tree and its reacting to the Prophet makes the tree the only living terrestrial witness to the Prophet, what we would call in Arabic a sahabi. (Companion)” ~ Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, Amman, Jordan. . . 📸 @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed #sadafsyedart #theblessedtree #prophetmuhammad #sahaba #companion #ziyara #cmumrah #celebratemercy @celebrate_mercy #travel #umrah #photo #islamichistory #monkbahira #bahira #monk #rain @sacredfootsteps #islam https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZ_M9RAKo3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kg43olmdpoqz

With all the noise around the globe. My heart begins to succumb to this crazy world. I will not allow my heart to become paralyzed with your hatred words. You have been brainwashed by people whose aim is only to gain power while you loose your own honor. Have you forgotten the verses of the holy scriptures? Love thy neighbor, teaches the Bible, the Quran, and the Torah. You allowed hatred to hijack your heart, killing those innocents while they bow down and prostate to God. Leaving the survivors with broken hearts. The only healing they know is by returning to the house of God. la ilaha illa'llah (None has the right to be worshipped except God). Same God of Jesus, Moses, and Mohammad (May peace & blessings be upon them all). . .
