30 Ali Family Autism Truths for Autism Awareness Month – the Second Ten

Last updated on: April 25, 2014 at 11:12 am By Dilshad Ali

When we fast in the holy month of Ramadan, our family has a saying — the first 10 are easy. You fast with full spiritual joy and intensity, ready to really experience Ramadan. The second ten fasts are the hard ones. You start to grow weary in body, mind and soul. Keeping up spiritual and faith practices grow hard during the second ten days. And then in the last ten days you feel a renewed exuberance. You are ready to... Read more

30 Ali Family Autism Truths for Autism Awareness Month – The First 10

Last updated on: April 21, 2014 at 5:01 pm By Dilshad Ali

April is Autism Awareness Month. And as much as individuals with autism and those in the autism community feel that we are waaaaaaay beyond awareness and must be focused on action, I’ve come to realize in my nearly three years of chronicling our autistic son’s (and our family’s) life — there is still so much people don’t know or understand. For those who do not directly know someone with autism, they are still so unaware. Unaware about what it means... Read more

The Honesty Policy, “Happy” and Our Culture of Opinions

Last updated on: April 17, 2014 at 1:29 pm By Dilshad Ali

You had to expect it, especially with the social-media driven, lightening-speed landscape in which we live today. Yesterday, The Honesty Policy, a blog out of the United Kingdom that is “a group of young and curious Muslims saying what you’re thinking. Honestly. Those thoughts, moments and reflections you’ve always had, but just never could quite express them …” released a video weeks in the making: a group of British Muslims lip synching and dancing to Pharrell’s breakaway hit, “Happy.” Why?...

Come on, raise your hand — you know you’ve been a fan of Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) over the years! In anticipation of his induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the popular singer/songwriter appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” performing some of his most popular hits.

Life Goes On

Last updated on: April 8, 2014 at 2:13 pm By Dilshad Ali

They prayed for my son at Friday prayers last week. Another milestone I never imagined would’ve happened as part of our parent-child journey. But life goes on. It seems altogether wrong and disloyal and nonsensical that life should be going on. We sat in the waiting room of the doctor’s office last week, making nervous small talk with my parents while we waited for the doctor to come out and give us Lil D’s test results. Husband and I had... Read more

You are Enduring Love

Last updated on: April 2, 2014 at 6:56 pm By Dilshad Ali

My darling boy, The sun is shining and the air is warm with the scents and sounds of a spring most awaited. You are swinging in the hammock in the backyard, spinning your beads on a twig with your hoodie pulled over your head and sunglasses perched on your face. God, you are handsome. It seems fitting that on today, World Autism Day 2014, we have come to a point in our autism journey where the path has played a... Read more

It’s Ok to Say, Why?

Last updated on: March 27, 2014 at 1:43 pm By Dilshad Ali

Maybe I’m wrong. I could very well be entirely wrong on this, but I am reminded of a hadith saying that Allah (God) loves us 70 times more than our own mother. And so I feel I’m allowed to do this. We are all allowed to lift up our arms in anger and frustration to Him, to vent as we would vent to our mother, husband or best friend, and He will Love us just the same. That at times... Read more

Equal is not the Same

Last updated on: March 20, 2014 at 5:22 pm By Dilshad Ali

Don’t let the dictionary fool you. Equal does not mean same. At least not when it comes to parenting. I’m sitting on the sofa helping my husband plan a special trip with our daughter for her spring break. A trip where just the two of them will go away to a cool city and spend four days enjoying each other’s company. He will leave the office and meetings and call schedules and family obligations behind, and get to know what... Read more

What Drives Muslim Reverts/Converts to Distance Themselves from Other Muslims?

Last updated on: March 18, 2014 at 5:18 pm By Dilshad Ali

“Hey, you, yeah, you. The lady with the tattoos. The gal with the eyebrow piercings The chick with the blue hair. There is room for you in Islam.” Nancy Qualls-Shehata, a revert/convert who blogs as the “Muslimah in Progress” at Patheos Muslim, wrote this great post two years back about how Islam has room for everyone. The one in tattoos, the one with piercings, the one in high heels and hair all a-flowing, the one “poured into skinny jeans.” Knowing... Read more
