Journal Talks

This episode is about the stories of black and righteous people in Islam from the time of the prophet and how they inspire use. Along with, our personal struggles and experiences as black Muslims today.

Society often portrays Muslim woman as being oppressed but in actuality Islam liberates us. You can see this liberation by just looking at the status of women in Islam.

Allah tells us we will be tested in this live, and tested we will be. Throughout all my grandmother’s life she was tested with her family, poverty, oppression, but it did not break her, because who’s to say the strength you have isn’t enough. And when she found Islam it opened doors for her in life. And she is still tested but she’s grateful, and know why she is tested and like everything this will soon pass too.

Hi and Asalamualikum, y’all we’re back for another season of Breaking Barriers!!!!! Where we talk about everything racial, religious, and societal issues and misconceptions and break the barriers between people. I can wait for you to listen to this season.

It’s important to surround yourself with good people who want the best for you in life. The people who you surround your self with have a major impact on your life and influences. They could be the reason for your failure or success.

For years Islamophobia has been a thing. Especially after 9-11 people hatred for Muslims increased. This prejudice an dislike for Muslims and Islam still continues to affect us around the world every day.

A popular hashtags that Muslims in the media use is #Deenovetdunyah. But what does it mean, and how do we as Muslims apply this concept in our everyday lives?

Girls are often judged more harshly in the eyes of society. And in many cultures around the world women are seen as less then mean. A lot of the times Muslims over lock the rights of women in Islam and mix culture with religion, but if in Allah’s eyes we are judged equally and equal held accountable for our mistakes dispute our gender, then as Muslims we should view each other and the same.

Muslims are often miss represented in the media and social media often has a big influence on this generation: from how we act and the people we aspire to be like. I this episode I brush on the war between Israel and Palestine and accidentally said Jerusalem, but I meant Israel. Trigger warning this episode we speak on sensitive topics.

As muslims weather we were born into Islam, converted, or reverted there is always a point in our lives were we choose Islam for ourselves/ comeback to Islam. Or there was a point were we rediscover Islam. Finding Islam for yourself is a journey to self betterment.
