Key things from Halima’s reflections:
1) Keep good company. The company you keep is v influential. You need to hold good people tight
2) Not all representation is good representation 🤷🏾♀️ you can’t be so eager for an opportunity you drink from from any and every cup

Yesterday an auntie at the masjid saw me reading+ gave me this banana. I insisted no but she said “..from Allah!” With the sweetest smile on her face, I just had to take it. Who am I to say no to the gifts of Allah? I guess it was my pre-emptive trophy for finishing or something

This is something I really want to be able to do for my children:
1) Feed into their interests, imagination and open their minds.
You like planes? Let’s go and see a real one. Nurturing and validating a child’s mind is priceless!

All this talk of “The AlGoRitHm” needs to stop because it’s real people who create algorithms that leads to adversity that disrupts real lives e.g. this A-level mess
Actual people need to be accountable for the misfortune, we can’t just blame problems on an algorithm

3) For representation to work for all it needs to be across the system + genuine. It’s great to see a Muslim on the cover or as a front face of a campaign but what about the rest of the team? Where are the Muslim stylists? Directors? Decision-makers and stake holders?

5) Self-esteem is so important. Halima’s experience of entering a space and feeling like you need to conform is so prevalent because it’s easy to forget that *you* are the prize. Not the brand or the red carpet or whatever other shiny thing it may be. YOU ARE THE PRIZE!

It’s qadr of Allah until it’s time to shame and harass women, tbh
Muslims will believe in qadr but say it's your fault for being 40 and unmarried.

Perhaps Halima would have felt more confident to say no to things, or to just be herself if she had just one, two people like her around. To help her stand her ground and support her. People of comfort and/or influence

I think self-esteem is the bottom line because even when we say ‘deen over dunya’, you can’t implement that if you’re not self-assured. Even beyond “deen” you lose yourself every time you lose your self grounding.

I finished I finished I finished reading the Quran during Ramadan! 😭🎉
Every word, every page, every letter. I’m so happy because I’ve come so so far with my relationship with this book. From struggling and low-key loathing to strength and loving 🥹. Alhamdulilah!

A beloved grandmother of mine passed away on Sunday.
Please make dua for her;
That her grave is wide, that she’s protected from the trials and punishment of the grave,that her questioning is easy &
that she’s granted jannah-tul-firdaws

Don’t we also love the way Halima was honest but also graceful? Sis didn’t drag anyone, kept the focus on herself and just held herself to account openly. The decency, the decorum....
Can we start taking notes pls pls 📝

243% is a disgustingly high statistic
Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications than white women — this father brought his heartbreaking story to Congress to change that

I was always taught that if I give money to someone, buy food for them etc with the intention of helping them then that lies with the Lord and not with the person, or whether you think they were ‘genuine’. Your goal is to do good so do good and go

Yeah so I missed out 4 and what? 😂
I was gonna say something along the lines of:
4) Know who to amplify and know who to mute. It was people who told Halima she ought to be more this and that, and people who she later listened to that brought her back to centre

Just because someone is talking to you doesn’t mean they’re talking for your benefit. Sorry not sorry but not everyone is talking sense all the time. Plus not everyone has enough information to even adequately inform or advice you 🤷🏾♀️

Same same! May Allah make things easy for you!
If you take strides towards Allah, Allah will outdo you with His Majesty and make you close to Him. It gets easier too (I say this as a reminder to myself, and also as something I’ve seen)

Tweets like these show men who have a problem with women working and earning notable money for themselves, imo
Ego and identity being threatened by women who can do just as much - or more - than you
Somehow society convinced women that going to school to get a job that makes 65k a year is more important or fulfilling than raising a family.

Yes! In comparison women hear way too much - including myth and conspiracy - surrounding our bodies when it comes to reproductive health.
When we are “informed” it’s almost always to blame, is derogatory or fear-based. Which ultimately is so unhelpful. And ironically, unhealthy!
I don’t think men plan enough around their biological clock. There are so many stories of couples trying for kids only to find out it’s his sperm quality and count that’s too low. Too many men are chancing it and mashing up their health in the process.

I’ve found this with praying in public non-conventional places too. (not to brag ooo but) I often start praying and by the time I’m done sisters join me - like I’ve encouraged them or something..
Today I stopped to pray ‘asr in a parking lot. In the second ra’kah, a bro. stopped his UPS truck, made wudhu and joined. Then in the third, another bro. came out of the shop and joined in as well. After tasleem, we give salaams to eachother with a hug and went about our way.
