Learning to Breathe

Last updated on: September 23, 2015 at 10:13 am By Kristina ElSayed

These days I’m unsettled. I feel like we are on the cusp of a major change. By ‘we’ I mean The World, The United States, Society as a Whole, Islam, My Family, Me. My wise friend, Heather, tells us to breathe through the change but I’m scared of change. I know it is inevitable, but the unknown is scary. It is unsettling. It is dumping everything in the cake pan and hoping it all turns out alright without following the... Read more

Reader Response: My Muslim Boyfriend Broke Up with Me

Last updated on: August 10, 2015 at 11:44 am By Kristina ElSayed

Happy Monday friends! This morning when I settled in at my computer to get some work done, I found this letter from a reader. Hey, I recently came across your website and was hoping I could get your opinion or view on some of the stuff that I have going on. My boyfriend of almost 2 years just broke up with me out of no where, he said something about we can never be anything more than we are right... Read more

Re-Post: The Side Entrance of Religion

Last updated on: August 10, 2015 at 9:00 am By Kristina ElSayed

This piece was published on July15 as part of The Hopscotch Hijabi’s 2015 Interfaith Ramadan Series. credit I am un-mosqued. Every mosque I’ve ever been in feels like a side entrance. It doesn’t matter if we walk through the same door as the men, or sit directly across the latticework barrier from them. To the non-Muslim parent of Muslim children, the mosque feels unwelcome. To be fair, I am also un-churched. Every church I’ve been in since entering my interfaith... Read more

Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 9:00 am By Kristina ElSayed

This post was first published on July 8th as a part of Hindtrospective’s 2015 My Mosque, My Story: A Side Entrance Ramadan If there was ever a time I felt completely at a disadvantage while parenting Muslim children, it is during Ramadan. I am so often embarrassed when we go to the Mosque during Ramadan that I would rather just not go. I am the only non-Muslim that attends Jummah on a regular basis at our Mosque. We go every...

Repost: What I Contribute to Ramadan

Last updated on: July 27, 2015 at 9:00 am By Kristina ElSayed

This piece was published on June 24 as part of The Hopscotch Hijabi’s 2015 Interfaith Ramadan Series. In 1998, I married a Muslim man. That December I tried to fast Ramadan. I wanted to do that solidarity thing that married people do. I wanted to show Khaled that I was his family. I don’t remember what was happening that day other than it was a Sunday. We might have worked, for some reason we hadn’t spent the majority of the... Read more

Inside an Eid Prayer Service

Last updated on: July 24, 2015 at 9:29 am By Kristina ElSayed

Last Friday was the Eid Prayer. As you remember, we’ve been attending our little mosque’s Eid Prayer for several years and each year it the attendance keeps getting larger and larger. Why? Well, I think that the community likes to pray behind our Imam. I also think that they like to pray outside. I think that our youth group does a really great job of organizing the event, from parking attendants to entertainment and the food. This year, the youth,... Read more

Re-post: Fasting for Faith

Last updated on: July 19, 2015 at 9:00 am By Kristina ElSayed

This piece was published on June 23 as part of The Hopscotch Hijabi’s 2015 Interfaith Ramadan Series. Fasting For Faith I’ve been thinking a lot about fasting for faith these last few months. The seed was planted last year when my daughters began to get excited about Ramadan approaching. I had never understood it before, this anticipation. To me, Ramadan was all about hardship. Fasting. Feeling sick and tired. Pushing yourself to the limits. Giving up and giving away. But... Read more

4 Weeks Down

Last updated on: July 16, 2015 at 10:18 am By Kristina ElSayed

Happy Thursday!!! How have you been? It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is Eid. Does it seem to you that this Ramadan went by pretty fast? I don’t know what happened. It seems like just the other day we were ramping up for the first week and now Poof! Its finished. I started this post on Monday, and because the days were super busy preparing for Eid weekend, I didn’t get it published until today. GO Figure. I should have... Read more
