On the humbling nature of parenthood

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

I had always envisioned myself as a certain kind of parent. At five I imagined coming home from work with a basket overflowing with lollipops. At ten I dreamed of weaving stories for my captive audience of little ones as they grew drowsy tucked into bed. And then, in adulthood, when I encountered painful obstacles on the journey to parenthood I redoubled these beliefs. I would treasure my children. I would never for a minute forget that they were manna... Read more

Ramadan, Motherhood, Spirituality

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Ramadan is almost over. During this last week of reflection and worship, we thought this beautiful essay from Asiah Kelly on motherhood, sacrifice, and spiritual development provided some wonderful things to ponder. Here are some excerpts: Ramadan is supposed to be the month of mercy. But for many mothers and wives, it can feel merciless. The work is unrelenting — food preparation, child care, house work, and all the while trying to fit in any act of worship possible. Muslims... Read more

Advice: Unrequited Love

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Dear Love Inshallah, At 20 years old, I have decided that I am ready to get engaged. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into the matter and since I do not want to pursue a pre-marital relationship, I thought I would open myself up to the possibility of getting engaged soon, since I have been getting suitors in the last few years. I do have a bit of a problem though. Over the last four years, I have fallen... Read more

For the Love of Their Grandchildren

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Love, Inshallah welcomes back Dilshad Ali, who provided a previous post about raising a child with autism. What would a parent do for their child? Anything. How far do we go for them? As far as it takes. What do we give up? Whatever we need to. What do we change about ourselves? Everything. When you add special needs into the picture, then your ability to go the distance for your child becomes the stuff legends are made of. And, there are no thanks necessary... Read more

I Have Arrived

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

From the corn fields and county fairs of Ohio to the Big Apple with an Empire State of Mind, I have arrived. From the churches and country roads of Moldova to the minarets and the calls of the muezzins of Jakarta, I have arrived. From the residential suburbs and the rice paddies of Chiba to the Bamboo Grove of Arashiyama, I have arrived. Each arrival has delivered me into a new part of myself. Ohio delivered me to New York,... Read more

Three’s Company

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

I must seem like good wife material to these brothas… Second wife material that is. Let me break it down for those of you who don’t quite understand. In Islam, a man is allowed to have more than one wife. He can have up to four if he so chooses. Now there are rules when it comes to this practice. He must be financially stable and just to all of his wives. This is not like a harem thing where... Read more
