I am not bragging, but if I happened to be the bedside nurse caring for you, by Allah, when you leave the hospital, you will remember me. This is not self-praise; it is based on the reviews of those I have cared for — both the highly educated citizens of America and those who are not educated. I wear a
My manager at work once asked one of our sisters in hijab this question during a job interview: “Majeedah, if your assigned patient is coding and your attention is urgently needed as the primary nurse, would you be able to answer the Code Blue call if you happened to be praying?” My response was: In Islam, while people are praying
One of our good sisters on this app asked, “What is the one thing you fear most in this life?” For me, it is losing my Deen. Not because I do not fear other things like debt, sickness, hardship, or pain, but because once a person loses their faith, everything else begins to lose meaning. The greatest loss is not
We can’t rule out the fact that some people who claim to be Muslims are not. What if such an act was done to mock the Deen? How would someone come publicly to display what people neither needed nor wanted to see? It is truly disheartening and deeply troubling to witness such things. While it is not within our power
To many non-believers and some ignorant Muslims, those who put on the niqab (face veil) are seen as the ugliest people in the world. Some people, even among Muslims, believe niqab wearers are the most backward people of all ages. Some even think they are unable to construct or speak simple English, let alone read a poet’s book. The niqab
Sadly, some people speak about religion without sufficient knowledge of it, yet fail to realize that they will be held accountable for every act of misguidance they spread publicly. Dear sister, do not choose to displease Allah in public. Perhaps Allah wishes to conceal the sins you openly display, yet you continue without care. Remember, this life is temporary. One
After all the stress and struggles to become someone in life, one thing remains certain: We are human—constantly striving to become better. We aspire to be good parents, present for our children despite our own challenges. We work hard to make ends meet, hoping to give back to our communities and care for the needy and the poor. We long
Too many distractions in the world. So many in the media. May Allah protect us. If one is not careful, one will spend the entire day lost in endless scrolling, moving from one reel to another, while precious time slips away unnoticed. As a Muslim, it is important to be conscious of how we spend our time, for time is
Divorce is emotional, troubling, and can bring about depression, frustration, and deep inner exhaustion. I see you even when you swallow your pain. Yes, even when you hide your tears behind silence and strength. I see you when you feel unheard, when you feel misunderstood, and when you quietly wonder if anyone truly sees what you are going through. It
We were raised to be careful about what we do in secret. May Allah keep a watchful eye over us and guide us to what is right. We were taught that two angels record our deeds, documenting both what we conceal and what we make public. This should make us more conscious—more cautious—of how we live, both outwardly and inwardly.

While you await the blessings of the Lord of the Majestic Throne, stand tall. Do not give in to sadness. Live with care, but do not deny yourself moments of joy. Be mindful, yet hopeful. What you must never lose sight of is your Ākhirah. Stand tall in your ṣalāh. Stand tall in striving to please your Rabb. Stand tall
