Marrying Muslim Men

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

How are Muslim men approaching marriage in our times? How do women feel about their approach? How much are we talking past one another rather than with one another? What expectations do we have for each gender, and how in-sync with reality are they? Great video by Nushmia Khan/Zujaja Creative! Read more

A Letter to My Muslim Son About Love

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

Don’t look for it. It will find you. And if it doesn’t, your aunties on your mother’s side will find it for you in the form of a young Muslim girl, probably the daughter of a doctor or a lawyer, likely the last sister in her family to be unwed. She will be cute, but not the cutest, they will say, but she’s a good, pious girl. We will all be invited for chai one day at her mansion in... Read more

A Map of Home

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

1. Lately, I think in the shape of maps. Cartography is a relevant metaphor as my boundaries are bending yet again. My tongue wags in the direction of due East. I am revisiting old languages while my writing hand rests. 2. The immigrants gather together in my coffee shop, no matter the country of their origin. They call personal grammars from the air. The Persians gesture with palms towards the heavens; the Arabs stretch arms out wide as if to catch... Read more

The Myth of a Shared Life

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

I had the moment my future husband would see me in my wedding dress all planned out. Although it wasn’t necessarily a Middle Eastern tradition, he’d be waiting for me at the end of an aisle. I’d walk in with my father, and upon seeing me in all my bridal glory, he had had one of the following options: a) cry with manly restraint b) open his mouth wide with surprise before breaking into a smile of wild, uncontained joy...

Maghrib Memories

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

Three years just doesn’t have the same ring to it as one month, or one year, or two. At three years, you are supposed to be better. You are supposed to be healed. You are supposed to forget. Three years is a long time. It’s dismissive. Less empathetic. Condolences are non-existent and hugs are shorter. I almost didn’t believe it. I had to look at the calendar and count backwards because it was unbelievable to me that so much time... Read more
