Ya'Allah, Help Me Fly.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Islam. Religion of those who are strangers to this world, so blessed be the strangers. “In the field of Dawah, let us not count our successes but instead look at whether our efforts have been sincere. Guidance is in Allah’s hands and if He decides to honor us then someone will change for the better at our hands.” Alhamdulilah :)

“قلب على قلب”

— In Arabic, we say Qalb 3ala Qalb, which roughly translates to “hearts in sync”. In essence, it’s talking about telepathy, and the unspoken words, and how they are not necessary in order to bond. What I love about it most is that it isn’t restrictive to romantic love, but instead it is open to any love at all. You would say it when you bump into someone you adore unexpectedly, at the grocery store maybe, or in the middle of traffic. Or even when you say something at the same time as someone else. The idea is that these things happen because your hearts are connected, and that somewhere along this telepathic journey, they bumped into, or brushed past one another, and that, because they were meant to meet, they always, always will. They will always find a way to each other. That’s comforting to me.

It’s usually something soul crushing that causes us to run back to Allah and fall into sujood; a blessing in disguise.

“Hiking - I don’t like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not hike! Do you know the origin of that word ‘saunter?’ It’s a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, “A la sainte terre,’ ‘To the Holy Land.’ And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not ‘hike’ through them.”

— John Muir

I haven’t made a drawing like this in a while, but I couldn’t keep quiet when faced with the news. I want to live in a world where we believe survivors of sexual assault and where we believe women. This piece hurt to make and hurt to post (I know I will receive backlash from those who disagree politically), and I would really appreciate empathy and respect here. Please unfollow me rather than making inflammatory comments.
