Dark academia but with Islamic vibes

Doing zikr constantly under your breath

Reading about islamic prophets and sufis on your candle lit desk

Writing letters to Allah

Copying your favourite poetry in your leather journal while sipping kahwa

Books about the history and beauty of islam stacked on the side of your desk

Keeping a zikr checklist on your phone

Having an obsession of fountain pens

Lighting a candle in the evening that smells like freshness and wood

Donning layers of clothing in winters whilst deciphering the meaning of some arduous poetries by Rumi and other poets

Antique tea pot and cups beside the Quran

Sharing the stories of the Prophets and sufis with your family for evening tea time.

Kahwa (Turkish Coffee)

[annamuslim1]

Kong Kaha (Saffron Tea) #kongkahwa #saffrontea #kahwa #saffron #tea #almonds #kashmir #valley #kashmirvalley Kahwa is made by boiling green tea leaves with saffron strands, cinnamon bark, cardamom pods, and occasionally Kashmiri roses to add a great aroma. Generally, it is served with sugar or honey and crushed nuts, usually almonds or walnuts. Some varieties are made as an herbal infusion only, without the green tea leaves. Traditionally, kahwah is prepared in a copper kettle known as a samovar. A samovar consists of a "fire-container" running as a central cavity, in which live coals are placed keeping the tea perpetually hot. Around the fire-container there is a space for water to boil and the tealeaves and other ingredients are mixed with the water. Kahwah may also be made in normal pans and vessels, as modern day urban living may not always permit the use of elaborate samovars. Kahwah is usually served to guests or as part of a celebration dinner, and saffron (kong) is added to the kahwah for special visitors. It is often served in tiny, shallow cups. Kehwa in Kashmir is also commonly served after Wazwan and elaborate family dinners. (at Kashmir Valley - Naturally Sanctified) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9YkwRljWM/?igshid=p43iqdd496cp
