H’s mom “Keep knocking on the door of Allah & never stop for, by His mercy, Allah will open His door for those who sincerely seek Him,” said 8th-century sage Salih of Qaswin to his students.

Rabia Al-Adawiyya overheard him & replied, “O Salih, who said Allah's door is ever closed?”

I am always grateful for the healers who understand the work that needs to be done in the midst of these tragedies (it’s not always the folks with the microphones). For those impacted—directly or indirectly, by the violence on Eid in Philly—please join & spread the word.

The cherry blossoms in Newark’s Branch Brook Park are at peak right now and absolutely stunning, masha’Allah 🌸🌸🌸

I made the decision to start wearing hijab in the fifth grade in America, to my parent’s utter surprise, because two refugee teens in hijab from Afghanistan were going to join our community and I didn’t want them to feel alone. Do you think negative social media ratios mean…
