Iqra & Fatimah Siddiqui @fatimahsiddique - Tumblr Blog

I stayed silent for far too long.

In the end, I had to do what was right. I made the decision to turn Master P over to the authorities.

Some truths are worth risking everything for.

What happened inside Network 26 can no longer remain hidden, and the full story is only just beginning to emerge.

Many questions will soon have answers.

Network 26 is finally no more

"هذه واحدة من صوري المفضلة لفاطمة. تبدو جميلة وأنيقة للغاية هنا. يناسبها الحجاب البيج الناعم والزي المطرز تماما ، وتمنح الإضاءة الدافئة الصورة بأكملها شعورا هادئا ومتطورا. أحب الطريقة التي تبتسم بها بلطف وتنظر إلى المسافة - تبدو طبيعية بدلا من طرحها. يضيف مسمار أنفها، والماكياج المطبق بعناية، والأظافر المصقولة لمسة من الأناقة دون أن تبتعد عن مظهرها المتواضع. بالنسبة لي، تبدو واثقة وسلمية وسعيدة، وإعداد المطعم يجعل الصورة تبدو مميزة ولا تنسى". ❤️

Assalamu alaikum everyone 🤍

I’ve just returned from Pakistan and wanted to share a really lovely update with you all.

While I was away, Fatimah Siddiqui and our good friend Omid Yousafzai took a weekend trip to the Scottish Highlands, a trip organised by the Dawoodi Bohra community here in Bradford, of which Omid has been a long-standing member.

From everything I’ve seen, it looked like such a peaceful and meaningful experience. The scenery, the calmness, the time spent together, it gave Fatimah the space to simply enjoy the moment and feel part of something.

What makes me happiest is what this represents.

Fatimah is adapting so well to her new life. She is gradually embracing the values, the environment, and the rhythm of Muslim life here in Bradford in a way that feels natural and unforced.

I am honestly so proud of her.

She is no longer on the outside, she is becoming part of the community, building connections, and finding her place among us. And for me, that is everything.

My sister 🤍

There is still a journey ahead, but moments like this show just how far she has already come.

Iqra. A New Chapter Begins

As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh,

I wanted to take a moment to speak to you all personally.

As many of you will have realised, I have now fully stepped away from Network 26. That chapter of our lives has come to an end, and with it, everything that came with it, the control, the pressure, and the environment that was never truly right for Fatimah.

This is now a complete refresh.

From today, I will be sharing updates here as Fatimah Siddiqui’s ghost writer, keeping you all informed as she begins her new life here in Bradford, United Kingdom ,a place very different from anything she has known before.

And I want to say this clearly.

I am so proud to have my new sister, Fatimah, here with me, alongside my long and trusted friend, Omid.

My beautiful sister Fatimah

Together, we are creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment for her to begin again.

This journey will take time.

Fatimah is still a long way from becoming the person I truly believe she can be. What she has come through has left its mark, and she is still adjusting, not just to her surroundings, but to herself.

At the moment, even simple things can be a challenge. She is still learning to put sentences together clearly, still finding her voice again. But I want you all to know, she is improving, slowly but surely.

And that is what matters.

She is now attending sessions with a tutor at the Islamic Learning Centre, where she is beginning to learn a completely new way of life, one rooted in: Patience. Structure. Modesty, and strong Islamic values.

This environment is already having a positive impact.

Step by step, she is learning what it means to live with purpose, with dignity, and with guidance. These are things she was never truly given before.

Allah says:

“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”

(Qur’an 13:11)

And this, is where that change begins.

This is not about rushing her.

This is not about forcing anything.

This is about giving her the space, the support, and the guidance to grow into a better future, one far removed from the life she had before.

Please continue to show her kindness, patience, and understanding.

This is only the beginning.

More updates will follow, in shā’ Allāh.

As-salamu alaykum 🤍

I wanted to give a proper update on Fatimah Siddiqui following her recent appointment with urology last week. I know many of you have been asking and showing concern, and I appreciate your patience while we waited for clear answers.

Fatimah was seen by Dr. Amina Rahman, the consultant urologist overseeing her case. After all the tests she has been through over the past weeks, including bladder function testing and imaging, the outcome was not what we had hoped for.

In simple terms, the doctor explained that Fatimah’s condition is due to severe damage to the bladder control system. Specifically.

The pelvic floor muscles and urinary sphincter are no longer able to hold urine properly

There is likely long-term weakening and loss of function in these muscles

Her bladder is not responding normally to signals, meaning control cannot be restored in the usual way

The medical term used was chronic urinary incontinence due to sphincter incompetence and pelvic floor dysfunction.

Dr. Rahman was very clear and very gentle in how she explained this to us. She believes that, given the extent of the damage and how long it has been present, this is not something that will recover with treatment.

This means Fatimah will be incontinent long-term, likely for life.

I know that is difficult to read, and it has been even harder for Fatimah to hear. But I want to reassure everyone of a few important things:

She is now under the right care and support

There are ways to manage this with dignity and comfort

She is not in pain, and she is being looked after properly

The focus now is not on “fixing” something that cannot be reversed, but on support, stability, and helping Fatimah live comfortably with this condition.

She has shown a lot of quiet strength through all of this. Those who know her closely will understand just how much she has had to process in a short space of time.

Please continue to keep her in your thoughts .

Just wanted to share, briefly, why I’ve been a little quiet this past week.

It’s been a very difficult few days for me. My brother, back home in Pakistan, has been involved in a serious motorcycle accident. I won’t go into too much detail, but his condition is not good, and it has been weighing heavily on my heart being so far away.

There is a certain helplessness you feel when your family is hurting and you cannot be there physically. Phone calls, updates, waiting, it all feels very slow and very heavy.

I’ve been trying to stay present with everything here, but I would be lying if I said it hasn’t been affecting me.

Please keep him in your duas 🤍

That is all I ask.

This morning we watch Fatimah Siddiqui head into her class, and we could not be more proud.

From uncertainty to confidence, from arrival to belonging, Fatimah continues to embrace this new chapter with strength, dignity and quiet determination.

Each step she takes through those doors is another step towards growth, understanding and purpose.

We are immensely proud of you, Fatimah 🤍

Iqra family, and my friends Bradford Moments

Today was a gentle but meaningful step for Fatimah here in Bradford.

This is what many Muslims here do, spending time together as a community, being present with one another, supporting families, sharing simple everyday moments. It’s not always about big events or milestones, it’s about togetherness, routine, and looking out for each other.

Fatimah was able to be part of that today.

Standing alongside Omid and surrounded by families, she experienced that sense of warmth and welcome that Bradford’s Muslim community is known for. The group around her made her feel at ease, included, and most importantly, comfortable. There was no pressure on her, just a natural sense of belonging beginning to form.

Moments like this matter more than anything.

They are where confidence grows quietly.

We are all hopeful that, in time, once her housing situation is fully settled, Fatimah will feel even more rooted here, not just visiting the community, but truly belonging within it.

And with that will come her own personal journey of reflection… including the important decision about the faith she wishes to follow. That is something that must come from her, in her own time, with understanding and sincerity.

For now, what matters is this, she is safe, she is supported, and she is beginning to feel where she fits.

And that is a beautiful place to start.

Iqra 🤍

A Special Moment With My Sister Fatimah — Bradford

Many of you who follow my posts here already know that the past few weeks have been an important time for our Network family here in Bradford. Today I wanted to share a small but meaningful moment with all of you.

Standing beside me in this photo is my dear sister Fatimah Siddiqui. Since arriving here in Bradford she has been slowly finding her place within our community. Every day I see something new in her,a calmness, a warmth, and most importantly a happiness that I had not seen before.

When Fatimah first arrived, everything around her was unfamiliar. The streets, the people, the customs, the rhythm of life in a city where the Muslim community is such a strong and visible part of everyday life. Naturally there were moments of uncertainty. But what has touched me deeply is how open she has been to learning and experiencing these new surroundings.

With my beautiful sister Fatimah who i love so very much 🧡💛🧡

We spend a lot of time together, visiting local shops, meeting families in the community, and talking about the values that guide many of us as Muslims: kindness, modesty, patience, and respect for others. Fatimah listens carefully and asks thoughtful questions. It shows me that her heart is open to understanding a different way of life.

I must say, seeing her smile the way she does now fills me with pride. There is a softness in her expression that tells me she feels safe here among friends and sisters who care for her wellbeing.

Many of you have also noticed something else changing in Fatimah, the way she now chooses to present herself. When she first arrived in Bradford she dressed very differently, unsure how she might fit into a community where modesty is such an important part of daily life. Over time she began asking me about the clothing I wear and the meaning behind it. She became curious about the elegance of the abaya, the grace of the hijab, and the sense of dignity many women here feel when dressing modestly.

Slowly Fatimah began experimenting with similar styles. At first it was simply wearing longer dresses and scarves when we went out together. But little by little she started choosing clothing that reflects the modest look many of you know me for. In some ways she tells me she feels comfort in mirroring my style, saying it helps her feel guided as she finds her own place within our community.

Some followers have asked whether Fatimah might one day choose to wear the niqab like many women here in Bradford. For those who are unfamiliar, the niqab is often seen by some Muslim women as a deeper expression of modesty and devotion. It is not only clothing but a symbol of privacy, dignity, and spiritual focus.

Fatimah has spoken with me about this often. She says she feels a sense of peace when dressing modestly among our community and is curious about what that next step might mean for her. Whether she ever chooses to wear the niqab regularly will always be something that comes from her own understanding and comfort as she continues to learn about our faith and traditions.

Of course, I want to be honest with all of you who follow our journey. If Fatimah ever decides to embrace Islam fully, it will be her own decision and her own spiritual path. Faith is something deeply personal. It cannot be rushed or forced, and there will undoubtedly be challenges and questions along the way that she must work through for herself.

But what matters most right now is that she feels welcomed, supported, and respected while she explores what this new chapter of life means for her.

For me personally, having Fatimah beside me here in Bradford as a sister is something I am incredibly grateful for. Watching her grow in confidence and happiness reminds me why community and compassion are so important.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show kindness and encouragement toward Fatimah. Your messages mean more than you realise.

With love from Bradford,

Iqra 💗

Network 26 Community Bulletin – Bradford Placement Update

The Network would like to share a further update regarding Fatimah Siddiqui and the next stage of her journey as she continues settling into community life in Bradford.

Following recent discussions and arrangements, Fatimah has now been placed onto the housing register connected with Manningham Housing Association in Bradford. This move forms part of the Network’s wider plan to help Fatimah establish herself within a supportive Muslim community environment where modest living, routine and shared community values are part of everyday life.

Bradford is home to one of the largest Muslim communities in the United Kingdom, and the area around Manningham provides a strong neighbourhood network with mosques, Islamic learning centres and community support structures already in place. For Fatimah, this setting will allow her to gradually become more familiar with the culture and lifestyle she has been learning to embrace.

So proud of Fatimah who i now proudly call my sister

As part of these arrangements, Fatimah will be living within a shared accommodation scheme managed under the housing association framework. In this type of housing each resident has their own private bedroom while sharing communal spaces such as kitchens and lounges with other residents. These placements are common within supported housing programmes and provide a stable environment while individuals begin rebuilding their lives.

Since the earlier announcement, there has also been an important development. Iqra from Network 26 has now relocated to Bradford to help support Fatimah during this period of transition. Together with our good friend Omid Yousafzai, who has already been helping Fatimah become familiar with the area, they will both play an important role in helping her settle into her new surroundings.

Omid will continue assisting Fatimah with everyday aspects of life in Bradford, introducing her to the neighbourhood, helping her navigate local services and gradually familiarising her with the expectations of living within a community where many residents follow Islamic traditions and modest ways of life. At the same time, Iqra will be supporting Fatimah more closely as she begins learning about the faith, the customs of the community and the opportunities available to her as she builds a new routine.

Within the property and wider housing scheme there may also be other residents living alongside Fatimah, often including other women and individuals who are also transitioning into independent living within the community. This shared environment helps create stability and support while allowing everyone to maintain their own personal independence.

For Fatimah, this marks an important step forward. With both Iqra and Omid nearby, she will have the guidance and support needed as she settles into Bradford and continues exploring the path ahead of her.

The Network believes Bradford will offer Fatimah the chance to rebuild her life within a welcoming community, and we look forward to sharing further updates as this new chapter continues to develop.

Network 26 Announcement — A New Chapter for Fatimah

As promised in my previous post from Bradford Interchange, I said there was important news regarding Fatimah Siddiqui and the next stage of her life. After many discussions over the past weeks between Master P and myself, we can now finally share that news with all of you.

The contract between Fatimah Siddiqui and Network 26 has officially been terminated.

This decision was not made lightly. It followed many conversations about where Fatimah now stands in her life and what direction will best support her future.

Over the past months Fatimah has gone through a period of deep personal transformation and realignment, leaving behind many parts of her previous life and beginning to build something entirely new for herself.

Since relocating to Bradford, Fatimah has been slowly integrating into a community centred around faith, modesty, and mutual support. She is learning the culture, the rhythm of daily life, and the values that shape the Muslim community here.

Because of this new stage in her life, it no longer made sense for Fatimah to remain within the previous contract structure that once defined her position within the Network.

However, this does not mean she is leaving us.

Fatimah will always remain part of the Network 26 family, but now she will do so as someone building her own life within the community rather than under a formal agreement.

From this point forward, the responsibility for helping guide and support her here in Bradford will rest with those closest to her.

I will now be personally looking after Fatimah, not through any structure or contract, but as someone I proudly call my sister.

Alongside me will be Sister Zainab and Omid Yousafzai, both of whom have already played an important role in helping Fatimah settle into her new environment.

My beautiful new Sister, Fatimah looks so happy now. Embracing her new life in the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire Uk

Together we will help her navigate the realities of living within a Muslim community, the expectations, the discipline, the culture, and the sense of belonging that comes from faith and community life.

Fatimah is beginning a completely new chapter here in Bradford.

She will now become part of our extended family, learning, growing, and finding her place within a supportive environment that welcomes her.

For those of you who have followed her journey from the very beginning, through every change and every chapter this moment represents one of the most meaningful turning points yet.

A chapter has closed.

But a new life has truly begun.

Bradford Arrival — A Turning Point for Fatimah

Today Sister Zainab and I arrived at Bradford Interchange, stepping off the train and onto a platform that has quickly become an important place in Fatimah’s new life.

Waiting for us were Fatimah Siddiqui and Omid Yousafzai.

For many of you who have followed this story for a long time, that moment on the platform meant more than just a simple reunion. It represented how far Fatimah has come since the earlier chapters of her life that many of you remember.

Fatimah’s path into her new Muslim life has been something that developed gradually through the Network’s guidance and realignment program, a process that has helped reshape the direction of her life and give it structure and purpose. The Network believed that Fatimah would find stability, discipline, and community within a Muslim environment, and Bradford has proven to be the right place for that next stage.

With the support of Omid, the patience of sisters like Zainab, and the wider community around her, Fatimah is continuing to grow into this new identity and lifestyle.

For me personally, as someone deeply devoted to my faith, being part of this stage of Fatimah’s journey is incredibly meaningful. Watching her learn, adapt, and settle into a life centred around modesty, community, and belief is something that brings great pride not only to me but to everyone within the Network who helped guide her here.

But the truth is. our journey to Bradford today was not only to visit.

There is a very important reason I came here.

The Network has been preparing the next stage of Fatimah’s journey for some time now, and today I arrived carrying news that will shape the next chapter of her life.

Those of you who remember the early days, when many knew her by a very different name, will understand just how significant this moment will be.

I shared the first part of this news privately with Fatimah today.

And soon. we will share it here with all of you.

The full announcement will be revealed very shortly, likely later this week or early next week.

For those who have followed Fatimah’s journey from the very beginning, this next step will mean more than you can imagine.

Sometimes the most important changes begin quietly.

Network 26 Update Regarding Fatimah Siddiqui

A huge announcement for our followers.

Something important is currently being finalised behind the scenes regarding Fatimah Siddiqui and Network 26.

As soon as the final details are confirmed, we will be sharing the full news with everyone here.

More very soon.

Iqra. For Network 26

Network 26 Update — Fatimah Settling Into Bradford

Hello everyone, Iqra here with a little update for those of you who have been following Fatimah Siddiqui’s journey with us at Network 26.

Today Fatimah spent some time in Bradford city centre, and it was really encouraging to see how comfortable she is becoming within the local community. Bradford has one of the largest and most established Muslim communities in the UK, and for Fatimah that sense of familiarity and shared culture is very important as she continues adjusting to her new surroundings.

She was out walking around the Broadway area, quietly taking in the atmosphere of the city, dressed modestly and blending naturally among the many other women in hijabs and niqabs going about their day.

Omid Yousafzai was with her as well, offering support and helping her navigate the area as she becomes more familiar with the shops and streets around the centre. Sometimes these small everyday moments, walking through the city, browsing the shops, seeing new friends and community life around you, can make a big difference when someone is starting a new chapter.

For Fatimah this isn’t just about shopping. It’s about finding a place where she feels comfortable, where she can integrate into the community and build a peaceful life going forward.

We at Network 26 are really pleased to see her taking these steady steps, and Bradford already seems to be offering the kind of environment where she can feel truly at home.

More updates soon.

Network 26 Community Update – Fatimah’s Next Step

Assalamu alaikum to all our followers,

We are pleased to share another positive update regarding Fatimah Siddiqui as she continues settling into the Bradford community.

Since arriving in the area, Fatimah has been spending time getting familiar with her surroundings, meeting members of the local community and learning more about the values and culture that shape daily life there. With the help and guidance of our good friend Omid Yousafzai, she has already begun visiting local community spaces and Islamic learning centres where many residents gather for study, discussion and reflection.

As part of the next stage in her journey, Fatimah will soon begin attending introductory study sessions where she hopes to learn more about Islamic teachings, modest living and the traditions that form such an important part of the community around her. These sessions often include Qur’an learning, discussion circles and guidance for those wishing to deepen their understanding.

The Network is also very excited that Fatimah could soon have a new place to live in Bradford, which would allow her to settle more permanently within the community she has begun to connect with. Discussions are progressing and we hope to share more details about these living arrangements very shortly.

For Fatimah this marks an important period of growth. With supportive people around her and opportunities to learn and develop within the community, she is continuing to take positive steps forward.

We will continue to keep our followers updated as Fatimah begins her studies and as further news about her potential new home in Bradford becomes available.

More to follow soon.
