In light of the Taliban’s recent burka decree, I thought it would be important to discuss why Muslim fashion cannot again be relegated to the icon of the burka in the Western media. Swipe ⬅️ for Snippets from my latest ✍️ for @stylistmagazine

It's crazy how much more traction & visibility #Reels get when compared to traditional photo posts on #Instagram 🤯 I experimented with some book Reels during Ramadan but honestly, regardless of the # of views, it's the photos that still do it for me 📷 🎨📚 #nonfiction #islam #books #muslimbooks #bookstagram #content #photos #pictures #nostalgic #oldinstagram

It makes sense to post this review on Easter, as Sheikh Nur (aka Lex Hixon, 1941-1995) was a follower of different spiritual paths, including Christianity, which ultimately led him to becoming a Muslim Sufi sheikh. He preached that “there is only One Reality manifesting though all the great authentic spiritual traditions, and at the higher level (hakikat), no actual conflict or divine rivalry exists between the religions” – a concept quite difficult for most people to appreciate due to various differences between religious doctrines, which are highlighted all too often today.

I think @sofia_reading referred to today's chapter on the meaning/context of hijab as a "bombshell" 👀 Looking forward to our first Ramadan #readalong discussion later today ✏️#bookclub #ramadan #reading #FatimaMernissi #muslim #islam #gender #Muslimwomen #hijab #veil #feminism #history #culture #politics #nonfiction #bookstagram

I read this over a year ago and after it was brought up in our Islam & Gender book club headed by @sofia_reading last week, I realised I never posted a review!
