More Dialogue, Less Debate

Last updated on: January 14, 2010 at 5:23 pm By Marwa Aly

In many places in the Muslim community, and indeed within many Muslim families, we are accepted and well-regarded when we keep in time to the beat. March to a different tune or sing solo and many individuals literally find themselves clobbered or trampled. It is usually much more subtle than I just described, but when some of us meet an idea that rubs us the wrong way, we immediately judge and go into a restrained yet aggressive debate mode. We...

Hajj Chronicles- Faces in the Crowd

Last updated on: January 11, 2010 at 6:07 pm By Marwa Aly

I had the pleasure during my first Hajj experience to have a scholar accompany our Hajj group and give us tidbits that were so on the spot, so perfect for Hajj. During our travel from Medina to Makkah, our sheikh told us something that stuck in my mind, ‘Don’t busy yourselves during tawaf staring at everything. Don’t stare at the Ka’ba, don’t stare at the skies around. But do stare at the people. Their faces will tell you stories….”. And... Read more

Tea, Please

Last updated on: April 22, 2015 at 9:55 am By Sharda Mohammed

The right cup of tea at the right moment can turn your whole day around. It’s amazing how one sip of the warm brew can settle your nerves and remind you to breathe again. There are so many life events, milestones and deep conversations that are coupled with a cup of tea in hand. The fondest for me, are the moments with my parents. I once attended a tea party in my honor. I had just gotten married and moved... Read more

As the Twins Get Older

Last updated on: January 4, 2010 at 12:38 am By Mahaez

The girls were sitting, On the trunk of the car, Looking at the world, Near and far, When one noticed the emblem, And asked what it was, I read, “Nissan”, And told them what it does. When they heard the word, They did something bizarre. They both stuck their tongues, Out really far. Puzzled, I asked them, What they were doing. They pointed once more, So I told them again. Both tongues came out, As if pulled by a cord,... Read more

Everyday Dua

Last updated on: December 31, 2009 at 6:23 am By Marwa Aly

I had a hundred things to do in the next thirty minutes, and not a moment to spare to look for my daughter’s tiny missing earring. Besides, she had been romping in the snow and slept at her cousin’s house the night before. The earring could have fallen off two days ago. I had no time to look in her bed or on the floor. It was lost for sure. But I said the dua anyway. “O Allah, You are... Read more

By the Book

Last updated on: December 28, 2009 at 12:07 am By Mahaez

When I was expecting my first child seven years ago after years of trying to conceive, I was overwhelmed with emotion. From early on in my pregnancy, I was determined to be a well-informed mom, up-to-date on the newest and best child rearing practices out there. That Infancy & Childhood Development course I took as an undergrad student some years ago wasn’t going to cut it. I searched books and websites for good, solid information that would not only get...

Between These Four Walls

Last updated on: December 24, 2009 at 11:25 am By Marwa Aly

This may be categorized under the heading ‘too much information’ but I was in the bathroom the other day and on my way out, instead of opening the door, I just leaned on it. For about 10 minutes I just stood their frozen, paralyzed almost at the magnitude of the responsibilities that lie just outside the bathroom door. It was as if it had suddenly become a portal—instead of a potty—into a world of calm and I was unexpectedly in... Read more

Tossing the Subscription

Last updated on: December 20, 2009 at 11:58 pm By Mahaez

It felt like a turning point to me, but maybe I’m overanalyzing it. Going through the mail the other day, I came across the renewal card for my subscription to a parenting magazine I have been getting for what seems like a zillion years. And for the first time in five or six of those years, I threw it into the recycling pile without a moment’s thought. I knew without even thinking that I was done with being told month... Read more

One True Love?

Last updated on: December 17, 2009 at 7:03 pm By Marwa Aly

We do not do Disney Princesses. Growing up a tomboy and then into a student of social justice, I thought I had enough reasons to keep princess culture at bay. But I recently realized another one – the idea of a One True Love (OTL). There are the standard arguments centered around race/ethnicity and gender. Most Disney princesses are either White or Anglicized versions of other ethnicities which can be very harmful for the self-image of non-White young girls (remember... Read more

Tale of a Kufi

Last updated on: December 10, 2009 at 11:08 am By Marwa Aly

I ran up the stairs to find my eight year olds’ knitted hat to keep his head warm during the chilly night ahead at soccer practice. Father and son stood at the bottom pleading with me to hurry or else they would be late. “What about your blue kufi, Zayd? It will just as easily keep your head warm.” My son looked down at his cleats, avoiding eye contact. The frantic mood at the bottom of the stairs turned to... Read more
