Welcome to this safe space

Bismillah...


Asalaamu alaikum and welcome.

I decided to start this blog as a place to archive lessons, reminders and advice that I have been privileged to share with a group of teenage girls in Cairo, Egypt.
The messages, lessons and reminders posted here are aimed at the Muslimah who sees herself and her faith as a work in progress. She could pray, she could not. She could know a lot about Islam; she could know next to nothing. She could have memorised 100 surahs; she could have memorised one. She could wear hijab; she could not. She could be 100% that Islam is her chosen way of life; she could still be figuring it out.
There are plenty of websites and blogs with information and encouragement for Muslim girls who are already sure of their Islamic identity, alhamdulillah.
But this blog is for the seekers, the wonderers, the questioners, the girls who are still trying to figure out where Allah and Islam fit in their lives.
If this is you, stay and be welcome.
If it isn't, stick around. You may benefit from this blog and we may benefit from your presence.
Either way, let's do this.
Bismillah..

    1. Our youth need safe spaces, possibly more than any of us. I hope I can cultivate something like what we have in our girls' halaqah online and, who knows, maybe even start a quiet revolution :)
