Get Me out of This Religious Slump! Why We’re Shooting Air Balls
There’s something about being imperfect that may cause partial spiritual paralysis. I’m not a doctor, but I do play one online. Anyway, if you’re feeling this way, as I have (and do from time to time), then you’re in limbo. It’s that feeling where you’re not only losing the akhirah (the hereafter), but also losing the dunya.

Bearing Witness! How a White Girl Embraced Islam
Of all the choices in life, why would a young woman living in one of the most affluent countries in the world chose Islam? Is she crazy?

Until he is rudely awoken
No doubt he will weep

Top 3 Most Annoying Kinds of Dawah
When I was a non-practicing Muslim, I came across many characters who tried to give me dawah (invitation to Islam). I didn’t respond to them very well. These (I’m sure well-intentioned) brothers may be familiar to you. If not, then you’re missing out.
