One of the toughest aspects of modern life for Muslimah’s right now is marriage – or lack thereof. I know so many sisters who are looking to marry and are struggling for so many reasons. We seem to be a generation caught between the old way of doing things where our parents found someone vaguely […]
I haven’t done one of these posts in ages (no. 9 was in 2011!), but I thoroughly enjoy doing them and when I look back at them, I really enjoying reading through them. At the moment, the things that make me smile are: A Sindhi Ajrak shawl. I had one and wore it until it […]

A sister recently left a comment on the blog describing problems she was having with her mother-in-law. You can see the original comment here and a truncated version below: I am also a daughter in law. I made the intention to live and look after my mother in law who is currently in her 40’s […]
