why do most sermons focus on Hazrat Ibrahim (as) and the plight of sacrifice, but never on Hazrat Hajra (as), whose testament of faith is such that millions of pilgrims walk in her footsteps every year during Hajj - a name, too, derived from hers, from Hajar? a thread. (1/16)

remember when ali zafar was so quick to mention a trial, inviting a battle he knew he'd be at an advantage of? the invitation to go to court alluded to his presumed innocence for most, but really-- men know the law tends to works in their favour. & they use that all the time.

our displacement is so interesting. under a settler colonial state, we find the space to talk and catch a glimpse of history that never happened. i long for a home i was born in, he longs for one he was deprived of.
