Hopelessly and Helplessly Worried
“Presently, am going through some hard times financially and emotionally. I made some bad investments earlier in the year that am just trying to sort out, may Allah help me. Also, am 28 and unmarried and am having difficulty getting a man with deen that would encourage me more. I was born a muslim but early this year I took my shahadah again and became more devoted IA though am not totally there yet but am striving and I pray not to backslide. All these things get me hopelessly n helplessly worried and I pray day and night but I also think I need a good muslim to talk to. I need advice and special dua. Pls assist me. Would appreciate ur response. I feel spiritually down often especially wen I do nothing more than to observe the five daily obligatory prayers. I want to be a good muslimah. JazakAllah Khairan!”

Why THEY Hate Us
So, one day I was visiting the Dome of the Rock in Palestine. I have a few family members left who reside there and had traveled with my father. After praying Asr one day, I quietly soaked everything in. The people. The smell. The vibrant sun. Everything, including the bullet holes I happened to see on the outside wall of the Masjid.

Servant of the Most Compassionate
I don’t always remember my dreams, however, there is one dream I will never forget.
I was in a house where people were gathered. I wasn’t sure if it was mine. Either way, there were people there. I don’t know who they were, but they had faces. That always freaks me out.

PWM – Praying While Muslim
I traveled to South Carolina with a couple of brothers to visit an Imam that we all knew because we loved Masjid hopping. It was just another reason to visit other Muslims in a different area. All went well in South Carolina, however, on the way back it was quite a different story.

Sincere Marriage Advice
Some of those who are familiar with my YouTube channel may know this story already, but I’m going to tell it again because every time I think about it, I start laughing.

Footsteps
As some may have heard from a previous story of mine on Twitter, I was almost arrested in South Carolina for praying in public. In short, me and a few brothers decided to pray Maghrib at a strip mall on a Sunday afternoon. We were abruptly stopped and threatened by local police officers for praying in public. It was a pretty intense day, but I’ll save that story for another post!
