Being Somali and Yemeni means my entire life has been listening to my parents calling their families back home (or panic about not reaching them) in rotation because of war/droughts/bombings/famines/etc. May Allah protect the oppressed and the innocent ameen.

Eid is really our only Holiday, I know sometimes we have those years where we don’t do anything to celebrate but please do something out of the oridinary tomorrow. Get ice cream, go for a walk, take yourself for dinner, call your friends, anything. Celebrate the day God gave us.

I’ve never given money to anyone in need where Allah didn’t put that exact amount (if not more) back into my bank account. We don’t talk about it enough, but it’s human to hesitate when giving Sadaqa but remembering that Allah always rewards you for it makes it so much easier.
