i woke up to a comment saying i’m worth less than the dirt on the bottom of a shoe bc i’m openly shia. is this the akhlaq our prophet taught? i’m very firm in my faith, but this behavior drives so many converts away from islam altogether

i’m just tired of being talked down to by people who grew up in an echo chamber. i wouldn’t choose to be shia if i didn’t see legitimate logic and evidence behind the belief system. i’m not here to convert sunnis, i simply think we as an ummah should have mutual respect

converts have every right to have unpopular opinions as long as they can back them up with quran, historical facts, hadith, etc. i come from a fundamentalist christian background and simply refuse to follow something just because most others around me do

@NotAaisha you’re not alone jaan. i went to eid prayer and then spent the rest of the day alone. it’s so isolating to be a revert, but i’m learning to find solace in the quiet. i know Allah will give me my own little muslim family one day inshaAllah

if you have a hard time waking up for fajr, recite the last ayah of surah al-kahf (18:110). it is narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (a) that "whoever recites the last verse of surah al-kahf before sleeping, he can wake up anytime he wishes." Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, vol. 2, p. 540.

annual reminder to include your revert friends in your ramadan and eid plans. these days can be so isolating for us, especially right after we convert and are still getting to know people in the community. it means so much to us when people welcome us with open arms

i was a full-on atheist for 5 years after leaving fundamentalist evangelism. i always loved islamic morals, values, and practices, but what ultimately pushed me over the edge was the scientific phenomenons the quran predicted long before they were confirmed by science

There was a point in my life where I was a borderline atheist. What ultimately caused me to return wasn’t my parents, friends, an imam or a priest, but unexplainable events that occurred that I’m convinced was God/Allah bringing me out of depression and giving me a second chance.

Allah always hears what you say to your brothers and sisters in faith, even if you’re hiding behind a screen. choose kindness and mercy. calling someone you disagree with a “kaafir” is the most ineffective form of dawah i have ever seen

i’m okay with educating people about shiism and refuting misinformation, but i find it infuriating that so many popular sunni speakers blatantly lie about us. its even more infuriating when people won’t read more into their claims and just follow whatever these speakers say

@Jamilah212 get scarves you enjoy wearing. find the materials and colors that you like the best. i hate undercaps so i wear a lot of jersey and combed cotton. if you live in a place with a hotter climate, wear natural fabrics like cotton and linen. they’re so much more breathable
