A month of doing adkars & I'm honestly so overcome with emotion as I contemplate how it has made me feel. I've never felt more at ease in my life. It saddens me to think I could've enjoyed the sweetness of adkar sooner but I'm filled with gratitude that Allah has guided me to it
i remember calling a somali restaurant to ask for the prices of dishes because i wanted to make a bulk order and they refused to tell me because they thought i was asking because i was gonna open a restaurant too 😂😂 somali restaurant are special
"My hijab, my choice" is actually a slogan used by Muslim women fighting for their right to wear hijab. Living in a country where you can wear hijab without fearing for your life is a privilege, and so is the opposite. No one should be forced to wear or not wear the hijab.
Five of my cousins in Sweden were taken away from their parents (by I think social services). Please keep them in your duas. If anyone knows the Swedish system and how to get them back, please dm me.
i was just thinking about hyper independence and realized that its kinda toxic for me bc i dont even ask Allah for help. here me out, why am i struggling to curb sins and trying to establish good habits on my own? when i can raise my hands and ask Allah the all-hearing to help.
giving up music felt impossible!!!! then i had quran play right after music one day and i felt so guilty. i told myself Allah wanted me to listen to quran. because i was quite literally disobeying Allah and through his mercy I heard his words.
i cant even put into words the number of lessons i learned from reading the “Great Women in Islam”. every single muslim and muslimah should read it. so much to learn from these inspiring women may Allah bless them. will slowly share of some the parts that stood out to me 👇🏾
my mom was translating a somali song to me and i was laughing at how corny it was, she said “reer badiyoyahay naga amuus, waligaga laguma jeclaanin” that hurted ngl
They drove over 40mns to shoot up a cemetery where people were grieving a loved one. They may escape the law but they will never escape Allah SWT, the Most Just.
The Chunkz announcement really warmed my heart subhanAllah. And Sharky was so supportive. I’m so happy for him. May Allah keep them steadfast on the deen.
i want to cry 💔 hodan was everything. she was more than integration tv. she was involved in her community. she was kind and helpful. she was thirsty for knowledge and went out of her way to show us the beauty of somalia thru her eyes. im heartbroken.
working with kids is so funny — someone mentioned im always dressed really nice and one kid responded with “yeah, duh. that’s why we dont make fun of her” and another responded with “wait i thought it was because she had authority?”
boohooooo, chrissy teigen saying she's hurt is hilarious to me. the irony of her crying over her "site", her "baby" like she didn't go out of her way to bully quvenzhané wallis, a child. we didnt forget ma'am, keeep on crying.
there are many days I cry very hard because cravings, the site, is our baby we love to pump content onto. we do this work ourselves, and there is NO monetary gain yet. it is just work work work and the reward is you liking it. so to be called a sellout....hooooo it hurts
lol Sierra Burgess is a loser is something else. A whole movie romanticizing catfish culture. They actually wanted me to feel bad for her when she got caught? lool.
Khalid bin al Walid masjid in Toronto is struggling to provide iftar as the number of attendees increase. It is $500 (weekday) and $700 (weekend). If anyone is interested in helping cover iftar for a day etransfer me ielmiali93

i was working at 2 different bubble tea spots this week and at both lil kids just be coming in after school ordering $5 bubble tea with a card?????!!!! what happened to collecting quarters around the house? what happened to going to the convenience store hoping you have enough?
Battle of badr didnt seem winnable but we know how that story ended. May Allah aid the people of Gaza how he aided the Prophet PBUH in the battle of badr, may he make the people of Palestine victorious against their oppressors.
A couple of years ago I went to the masjid for a new class that started. I was the first one there then another person walked in, she looked familiar and instantly I knew who she was. She asked to sit next to me (we were the only two people there).
one day we have to talk about the lack of bystander invention. people will silently watch someone get killed and instead of helping, or calling for help they begin to record.
this advice really changed the game for me. sometimes i feel like im annoying by talking about this all the time bt if anyone felt how i felt before AND after starting their morning and evening adkar, they wouldnt stop talking about it either wallahi.

Its the declaration that there is no God but Allah and that Prophet Muhamed (Peace be upon him) is His messenger. Sincerely reciting this enters you into the fold of Islam and you become a Muslim.
somalis currently tweeting about palestine yet pretending that whats happening in laascaanood isn't eerily similar need to get their brains scanned and studied. the math is not mathing and we need to get to the bottom of it!
sam's "trust me" every 5 secs reminds me of when i was in the hospital and my ng tube was removed for xrays and I was terrified they'd put it back, and all the medical staff said to trust them. they lied, 5 nurses held me down. anyway, nicole shouldn't trust him.

Let’s not forget that we do not enter jannah because of our deeds but out of Allah SWT’s mercy. So don’t engage with losers who want to fixate on the faults of others after they have passed. Allah is Most Forgiving.
if you’re not family or close friends with someone who passed away, for the love of God, please stop asking “what happened?” when people are grieving. thanks.
Beautiful verses. I’m also reminded by how Musa AS was commanded to speak to Firaun, a literal tyrant in a gentle manner. Yet the tone taken amongst muslims is truly something else.
Whenever I see this new abrasive style of online dawah, I reflect on this verse from Al-Imran. The Prophet (pbbuh) led with kindness, not vitriol and abuse.
My cousin Mohamed’s janazah will be tomorrow Oct 20 at Khalid Bin Al Waleed mosque (16 Bethridge Rd), at 1pm. Please make dua for him and attend if you are able to.

folks on linkedin: the rejection email from my dream job was the best thing that couldve happened to me. i got fired, couldnt make rent, was homeless bt then my friends cousins father took a chance on me and now im the manager of a large tech company. never give up 🙏🏾🖤
if your general dawah/reminders on social media are not being sent with the *gentle effect*, fix ur intentions. this video gently told me to get it together. i felt loved and seen but also i felt guilt, + the desire to want to be better. may Allah reward halima for her efforts 🥰
Somali businesses are too much. I called salama hut to ask how much they sold sambuus/buur/buscut/xalwo and this nigga goes "Why are you asking? Are you trying to values to open your own store?"
learning to be content in Allah's plan is the only thing getting me through my days. its been a struggle but constantly reminding myself in hopes that one day itll be second nature to me 🥹
I run a STEM club in my community, every week the kids come in WAY too early because they're so excited. Visions of Science wants to expand into more communities! By donating you're directly contributing to increasing access to STEM to underserved youth!
in avoiding asking people for things, i’ve deprived myself of asking Allah too. may Allah make us those who continuously turn to Him and seek His aid. may Allah make us of those who rely on Him and through Him find comfort and support.
wow,

saying we should be doing istighfaar for calling ourselves ugly because we are Allah's creation and Allah don't make ugly. SubhanAllah.
i've never thought about the mean things we say about ourselves 😮
i read my morning adkaar before going into the meeting w the guy who i think gets paid to make me miserable, and he couldnt stop singing my praises. God is Great.
most recently i was struggling with giving up something and i just made dua ya Allah please dont tempt me with it and … temptation was GONE. and i was like oh? that was easy. subhanAllah just pondering on that this morning made me realize how easy things can be if i ask Allah
yall be constantly arguing about whether somalis are black, meanwhile somali kids are applying for black scholarships worth thousands of dollars, identifying as "non-black/arab" - making themselves ineligible and having their applications thrown out. the kids are not alright
how many boys need to be lost to gun violence before this vicious cycle is broken? May Allah grant him Jannah al firdaws and his family and friends sabr and iman.
we underestimate how important the company we keep is to our iman. may Allah grant us righteous friends, friends that not only support us on our continuous journey back to Him but are right there with us on the journey🤍
the obsession with homeownership at the expense of waging war against Allah and His messenger is — fearless, and not in a good way. hug that L, repent, and get out sister 😳

No one needs to hear they can't turn back to Allah in Ramadan bc they've been out of touch for the past 11 months. That's literally one of the important takeaways of Ramadan, recharging your iman & hoping it sticks.
worry was consuming me and after falling off i did my morning adkar, and yall know the rest. alhamdulilah. may Allah keep us consistent with his ibadah 🙏🏾
we’re forced to be hyper independent because we like in a very individualistic society. when i live my life in an attempt to be self sufficient of people but somehow i accidentally include Allah - i need to check myself.
alhamdulilah for islam. we can find solace in knowing that those who left us in this dunya have left us for The One who loves them more than we ever could, Allah SWT.
clear as day WHY she was chosen as valedictorian and clear as day WHY they felt so threatened by her. she is so eloquent and concise, she didnt let this womans questions phase her. icon, legend, role model.
USC valedictorian Asna Tabassum joined me on NewsNight tonight after her school cancelled her graduation speech citing “threats.” What she planned to say and what she thinks really happened:
