Although all three of these areas have plenty of literature and media attention available, I could find very little where the three intersected. I am […]
I was pleased to see that the wonderful Neelu of Neelu’s Journal is hosting the Ramadan Journal 2017. I have taken part over the last few years and enjoyed it. In her own words, Neelu describes her the inspiration behind her Journal challenge: “I was inspired to keep a Ramadan Journal thanks to Ali Edwards’ December Daily and the idea […]
It’s very in vogue now to say that we won’t smack our children; this is probably a good thing. In the UK there have been attempts by various groups to bring laws into effect that ban smacking, although they have been defeated by the Peers in the House of Lords. My parents and grandparents grew […]

This Entrepreneur Interview and Inspiring Ummah Interview posts will be a series of interviews with entrepreneurs and social campaigners who are making a difference in the world. I find that Muslim women are particularly interested in both of these areas: becoming entrepreneurs or doing work that benefits society, often both at the same time. These […]

I have been mulling over the awful attack this week outside Parliament and on Westminster Bridge. I can’t imagine the pain of those who have lost family members and the terror of those that were injured. My thoughts are with those who have lost their loved ones and who have been hurt: I pray that […]
I recently had the most amazing experience with my grandmother. I have written in the past about the problems with youth and identity and Tariq Ramadan’s Two-Parent Theory. I kind of understood what he was saying in that I have never known where I belong. Am I British and that’s all, am I British Asian, […]

A good friend once told me she experienced guilt because after trying to have conceive for many years, when she finally had children, she found she didn’t like it much sometimes. It’s not something anyone wants to admit. Sometimes people don’t like being parents. I find I love being a mum, but occasionally find myself […]
