Comment on Far Away [Part 32] – Meilin’s Tale by RA

I have to say, I quite like how no-nonsense Captain Karim is. Longwei shouldn’t make Darius the object of his resentment when Karim is the one in charge of promotion decisions, but I do understand his feelings. Also had a nice chuckle at Gulnur and Kuangren’s conversation lol

Darius is maturing in some ways, but I would never want to see him become a bully. My son looks up to Darius. But I know I can’t put that on you, brother Wael. I certainly did and said a lot of things as a teen that I regret. Darius will go through whatever he goes through, and perhaps we can all learn from it in the end.

Meilin being married off at eleven is horrible. Yet somehow she has become this tough, funny woman who can casually teach someone a backflip beside a caravan. I love her more every chapter, mashaAllah.

Darius destroying Cotan in like five seconds and then throwing water in his face for “medical reasons” was hilarious Cotan got COOKED. Darius, don’t bully the Kurdish maniac! I just had a birthday. For my NEXT birthday I want this story as a book. One of those little ones you can put in your pocket. Also a game!!! I learned in school that wombat poop is cube shaped. Crazy, but not as crazy as Darius being a corporal! THX as alwayz Mr. Abdelgawad Sir.

Jazakallah khair for an insightful and nuanced view into why AI-generated Islamic content is problematic and what we can do about it. I will definitely be using this in my AP classroom for my students to analyze, iA!

Comment on Invisible Heroes: Muslim Immigrants And Refugees In Our Community by Urban Insight

Urban Insight — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 08:42:42 +0000

This text is very touching because it highlights the sacrifices, kindness, and generosity of immigrant women. Through Maymuna and the writer’s mother, we understand how these women work hard to support their families while preserving their cultural and religious values. The text also reminds us that education does not only come from school, but also from life experiences and the wisdom of our parents. Finally, it encourages us to respect immigrants, appreciate their sacrifices, and treat them with love and dignity instead of judging them.

A difficult article, but very important. It can be scary to think about having a sealed heart. The struggle against the nafs is difficult at times.

Comment on When A Place Teaches You What Softness Is Not by Dania Damrah

May Allah swt. Bless you both; And to every Muslim who needed this reflection. IF my writing has a purpose, it is to remind believers to feel again what we have learned to suppress. My hope is that through these pieces and this style of writing we awaken to truths about ourselves and our “so called communities” that needs all of us to really rediscover what it means to be a true ummah and true community.

Your sister,
Dania

Comment on A Case For Critical Reading As Muslims: Reading ‘The Power of Your Subconscious Mind’ Through An Islamic Lens by Amer Rizvi

Reminds me of a phrase from the Quran: لن يصيبنا إلا ما كتب الله لنا۔۔۔ Commonly translated: “Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us.” The ل in لنا means “for.” So the whole word means “FOR us” Imagine if the word was علينا , which would mean “AGAINST us” And that’s what that little ل does for you, dear Muslim So, for the Muslim, it’s all good الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام
