Ramadan Mubarak! + Planner (Edition 2 😊)

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!

I know I'm a tad late but Ramadan Mubarak my dear brothers & sisters!!!! May Allah accept from us and forgive our shortcomings, may He fill this month with guidance and noor for us and may He allow us to reap the benefits of this month which includes attaining His pleasure and forgiveness, ameen ya rabb! <3

I have once again made a planner free to use! YAY! I didn't procrastinate this year on it woo! ^.^

(It is quite a big file FYI 🌻)

Here is the PDF link:

And here is the PNG (photos) link:

If you wish to print and use it, and want to save on paper/ink, I suggest to only print one day's worth of the planner material, put it in paper protector sheets (like this one for example: link, click me! ) and you can use dry erase markers on it (use it like a whiteboard!) to wipe and reuse daily! ^.^

I pray this resource helps make your Ramadan better, ameen 🌸

a outpour of love for Reflecting on the Names of Allah

i got Reflecting on the Names of Allah as a gift a while ago and honestly honestly ITS SO GOOOD

made me cry honestly

like the layers in Allah's names , and the explanation of those names and how they manifest is written so well , it feels easily accessible which made it even more so potent

even better the chapters don't have to be read in order which means you can come back read a chapter about a certain name in isolation which certainly uplifts the value (not that isnt valuable otherwise it does however make it more accesible and applicable to daily life)

it provides ways we can live with these names too and a list of duas at the back it really is so great

Jinan Yousef , the author as well has many articles about Allah's names online so if you cannot afford the book (it is around 30-50 dollars last i checked online) there are works by her that you can also read which go into Allah's names

just i love this book so much

I wanted to share something personal because I don't think a lot of you understand the influence of the West and its atrocities on an Arab child's upbringing. English is not my first language; I learnt it initially due to my interest in the language and Western cultures. However, seeing the true face of the West motivated me to continue learning the language to dismantle the false image of Arabs and Muslims which was portrayed by the West. I also talk about how this impacted my standing with the Palestinian cause. Bear with me as this post is long and a little messy, but I need to try and give everyone a clear and full image as much as I can.

I grew up consuming Western media due to my fascination with the English language. However I noticed the lack of Muslim and Arab representation.

When I started seeing representation later on, it was mostly Arabs and Muslims being depicted as 'terrorists' and 'barbarics'.

When a Muslim woman is depicted, she is depicted as 'oppressed' and in need of 'saving'.

I was on social media starting from a very young age. Seeing people online describe my people as 'terrorists' was not only scary, but also confusing. Why am I as an Arab Muslim child -who's living a normal childhood as everyone else- being labelled as a 'terrorist' by the West? Why are people claiming all Arab and Muslim children are trained to use guns by ISIS or/and Hamas? I remember asking my parents as a kid "Is this a real gun with the police officer?" Because I only saw weapons in movies.

I asked questions such as "Why do they think Arabs = Muslims?" The lack of acknowledgment of Christian and Jewish Arabs and non-Arab Muslims confused me.

Why were Muslim women always 'oppressed' in these movies and TV shows I saw? This is not as common as they make it seem. Why are they using the struggle of some Muslim women to demonize an entire religion? Why are they pretending to be saviours when they're actually contributing to further oppression of Muslim women? Why are they weaponizing the awful struggle of some Muslim women against the vast majority of Muslim women? (White feminism is not saving us. It's actually a form of oppression of Muslim women)

Misrepresentation bothered me and made me angry and disappointed. I couldn't finish watching a movie or an episode of a TV show if I saw any mentions of Muslims or/and Arabs, because I knew what would happen next.

When it comes to the Palestinian cause, every Arab grew up watching endless footage of Palestinians being brutally murdered LIVE. Everything and all the footage all of you are surprised to see during this genocide, were a part of our upbringing.

When I was a kid I stumbled upon a newspaper in the house with a headline about a Palestinian father who returned to his house and found all his children shot. And I remember the image very well. The father was holding a prayer mat with people holding him as he broke down on his knees. His dead children were on the floor next to each other. Seeing this image of children my age murdered by the Israeli occupation shocked me. I remember my parents having to hide the newspaper from me because of the impact this image had on me.

I had to start reading into politics at a young age, and I realized that everything that Western media was trying to portray about the West being 'civilized' was a lie. How can you be civilized if you're a murderer or/and contribute to the murder of the innocent?

When I learnt about the history of imperialism, colonialism, slavery,...etc. growing up, I recognized the pattern that colonialists use and I saw that the colonizers of yesterday, are the same as today, except Western media is doing a great job covering for them nowadays, and a lot of people only started noticing that recently.

The West seemed fascinating to me as a child, but after seeing the horrendous false images that're being portrayed of my people in the West, all of my fascination turned into anger and motivation to fight against it.

The real terrorists in the world are not the brown and bearded men, veiled women, or the innocent children. The real terrorists are the ones who set the stage for the murder of innocent people, the exploitation of their resources, using propaganda and painting an image of the innocent that cannot be more false and racist, and the fascists that put on a 'civilized' mask.

I will forever stand with my Palestinian brothers and sisters. I will forever defend my Arab and Muslim brothers and sisters, and I won't give room to any misrepresentation. Enough is enough.

Edit: I wanted to add that growing up, I was scared of telling people about where I'm from, my religion, and what language I speak due to the microaggression and discrimination I was subjected to. Not to mention the amount of times I saw on the news Arabs or/and Muslims getting killed in Western countries (aka hate crimes).

Please can you publish trustworthy links for donating to Syria so it helps reach the less supported people?

There are 3 main ones I know of (I have family in Syria that are directly affected)

1. Molham

I've included a link to where people can donate and here is a link to their twitter page where they're giving regular updates. Here's a third link to donate in Euros

Molham, to those who don't know, are specifically a non profit, non government team that have been providing relief for displaced & refugee Syrians. They're now helping out with the Earth Quake.

2. The White Helmets

Currently searching for survivors and pull ing the dead from collapsed buildings

3. Islamic Relief (this link should work for all countries donating)

Has for a very long time been extremely reliable. I usually donate through them and they tend to help out people all cross the world. They currently have a team in Syria, last I've heard.

here's a link if you're donating specifically in Canada, UK, America,

please PLEASE donate.

Even one dollar, one pound, can go a long way.

And if you can't, PLEASE reblog!!

Syria needs help too! Syria matters too! They're not receiving aid for a variety of political reasons and they desperately need it!!!

#anon #please share any other resources #so I can add them #signal boost #earth quake #syria #syria earthquake #save syria #important #current events #islamic relief

"Kill Them All!"

Meet the pro-Israeli protestors advocating for peace in the streets.

Those people must be sent to re-education camps to be taught how to behave like human beings.

ID 1: Instagram post by @/therwees. It reads: “I do not envy those of you with the ability to look away, to "log off", to prioritize your "mental health" over bearing witness to genocide. one day you will be in the position to tell someone where you were when all this happened, when an entire people were wiped off the map - what you said, how you reacted, which congress people you called on to help stop it. and you'll have to tell someone - a daughter, a grandson, a niece or nephew, a boyfriend - that you couldn't even look. that you couldn't even give those people the easiest thing you could give them, which is an eyewitness testimony of their pain, their suffering, and the denial of their freedom.” End ID.

ID 2: “here is what you must know, deep down inside of you: that the only way you are to rationalize all this death, all this tragedy, is islamophobia and racism. the only reason you are able to look away is because there is a grotesque part of you, a dead appendage of your soul, that believes brown people are destined to be miserable forever. that we deserve these calamities thrust upon us. It's why so many of you readily shared racist fabrications about baby beheadings, mass rapes, a global day of jihad. you are so ready to accept the image of the angry arab, the evil muslim, the heinous savagery innate to our identity.” End ID.

ID 3: “to be arab or muslim in this country is to be burdened with the task of constantly proving your humanity and your innocence. there is always some awful thing to condemn - a terrorist attack, a corrupt regime on another continent, a preacher's vile sermon. it is psychically_draining to be suspicious of everyone, to wonder *all the time* if your next date is gonna say something islamophobic or if your employer will hold your faith against you or if the man staring at you on the bus is going to erupt with violence. to wonder if simply advocating for the liberation of Palestinians or Iraqis or Afghans will get you fired or ostracized or even just marred with the reputation of a histrionic.” End ID.

ID 4: “and then, when the drum beat of war starts again, and the headlines start to look like guns, and the correspondents start to sound like executioners, it becomes obvious that our anxieties were not unjustified. that some of you do want us dead. that you only like falafel, that you only enjoy vacationing in marrakesh, that if bella hadid said hello to you on the street you'd have a story to tell forever, at every thanksgiving. that we bring color and vibrance to your social circles but only when we're quiet about our heartbreak. that arabic is a beautiful, sophisticated language for a barbaric people.” End ID.

ID 5: “I know, as I've always known, since 9/11, and maybe even before, since I wore the hijab for ten years during the war on terror, since I saw my mother terrorized by our neighbors, that our lives are political fodder. you like us better than we're dead. we've learned nothing from our follies in Iraq, follies that came at the cost of more than half a million Iraqi lives.” End ID.

ID 6: “american life is underwritten by the suffering of others after all. every shein haul, every iPhone, every meal delivery comes at the cost of another person's hardship. I think we really underestimate the psychic toll of this, to enjoy excess and convenience and peace at the price of someone else's despair. it has rotted our souls, to know that every gallon of gas we use steals a moment away from someone else's future, and to continue doing it.

so it is easy for us to look at the Israelis say: they should be able to enjoy their nice tel viv beaches, their lovely kibbutzes built on stolen palestinian land. civilization is built on the graves of barbarians, of people lesser than you. manifest destiny and all that.” End ID.

ID 7: “I am so heartbroken for the palestinian people. I have faith that liberation is possible, but the price they've paid for it is too heavy. it's too too heavy. and now muslims and arabs all across the world will also pay the price. the very least you can do is look.” End ID.

Donate to the ACS Palestinian Scholarships Fund

Hi Tumblr friends, it is my birthday! For my birthday I would like it if people could donate to an institution that is near and dear to my heart, the American Community School of Beirut, Lebanon, in order to support Palestinian refugee youth.

My mother attended ACS Beirut when she was a teenager, and I grew up with the alumni association being a big part of my life. Mom's stories were very important to me, and they're actually how I learned so much about the Middle East, and specifically about the Israel-Palestine conflict. She lived through the Hundred Day's War and has many harrowing stories from that time.

It turns out ACS has a fund specifically for scholarships for Palestinian refugees, which can be found here:

https://www.acs.edu.lb/page.cfm?p=1740

Making sure that Palestinian youth who have managed to flee Israel can get access to an excellent education is crucial during this horrible time.

If you have a few dollars to spend, I would greatly appreciate it if you could throw money at this. While many people in Lebanon are doing their best to support their neighbors in Palestine, the Lebanese economy is in crisis and that makes it VERY difficult for them to provide material support to refugees. This is one avenue by which I know the money will go to helping Palestinian youth.

Here also is ACS on Charity Navigator;

However, if you donate to the first link, you can ensure your donation goes directly to supporting Palestinian youth.

Even if you can't donate, every reblog helps, and so does linking this to other social media sites (I no longer have Twitter, and do not have a presence on BlueSky or Mastadon or whatever).

#palestine #israel palestine conflict #palestine resources #charity #donations #lebanon #do not clown on my post with antisemetic bullshit btw; you will note that I am keeping this to talking about how to help people directly #also do not clown on my post with anti-islamic bullshit or anti-lebanon sentiment #note that the gov't of lebanon is a horrific mess right now but ACS isn't associated with the gov't #acs is doing very hard work to help people locally

I am EXTREMELY curious about “The Absolution of Ea-Nasir”

I'm excited about the results!

Several months ago, I started wondering 1. Was Ea-Nasir's copper really bad? and 2. How was it bad from a metallurgist perspective? So I went digging, and, as with many archaeological topics, there's not a conclusive answer. But TLDR: Ea-Nasir wasn't necessarily an intentional grifter. He was a victim of his time and challenging geopolitics. I personally think he was a fonder of his city than his fellow merchants, who he probably considered money-gubbers with poor loyalties. ... He was definitely a dick though.

#I've grown quite fond of him through my readings!#I haven't written this up yet because I have 25+ sources and 2 pieces of evidence are in translation-contention.#There's growing evidence/suspicion that fertile crescent smelters might've used oil instead of charcoal but it's a half-baked theory #based on a much older a poorly-known Islamic source. The Islamic source might've been mistranslated; so I have to dig into that.#But if it ISNT. There's grounds for an environmental change in Oman decreasing fuel resources for smelting that might've affected #our boi in Mesopotamia. Even if it is a translation error though: the affects of the environmental shift have been recorded #in enough detail I think there are enough grounds for Why.

#Seeing the dune part 2 american centric red carpet and as a devoted aficionado of the books and yk a moroccan person here are my 2 cents #Dune was one of the few Western works inspired by MENA culture that that felt genuine and respectful #But ofc despite the profound symbiosis with Middle Eastern and North African culture evident within the pages of the novels #the movie adaptation lack of substantive representation from these communities both in on-screen portrayals and within production roles was #very much disappointing in part 1 and i doubt there are any change now #While drawing inspiration from the Amazigh peoples of Algeria and Morocco #the film barely skims the surface of its MENA influences leaving substantial potential untapped #Herbert openly acknowledged the profound impact of Islam and MENA culture on his noveIs #from the metaphorical representation of Spice as oil #to the allegorical parallels drawn between the occupation of Arrakis and real-world MENA geopolitics #By marginalizing Arabs from the narrative fabric of Dune the essence of the story is being undermined particularly its anti-colonial core #the irony of this is kiIIing me because this was a direct resuIt of us impérialism on the middIe east #But the reality is that Dune is an American production tailored for an American audience so it makes sense for it to be what it is now #a big production running from its original essence #What adds to my disappointment is the fact that I liked Villeneuve's adaptation of Incendies and I had what you call foolish hope hfhg #Dune feIt Iike a squandered opportunity to authentically depict the cultural milieu that inspired it #Given the narrative's inherent anti-colonial themes #the omission of Arab and North African voices dilute its message if any of it is even left #without representation from Arabs and Amazigh people the cultural essence becomes another appropriated resource watered down to an aestheti #rather than serving as a critique of the destructive actions of colonialists seeking power and dominance #the narrative becomes susceptible to distortion and co-option by the very entities it was intended to condemn and hold accountable

belated Ramadan Mubarak!

I try to do a bit of reading every Ramadan, so, for accountability, and so that when I inevitably don’t get through them I can find my list next year—here's my (extremely very ambitious) reading list for this year!
