Assalamualaikum Camellias!

This is a random interlude and this story was actually shared in Season 1 but Podbean does some  weird stuff where if you put something as draft and re-publish it, it publishes as a COMPLETELY new episode, lol. 

So, I decided to make this an interlude episode before our regular Season 2 episodes continues. I've been busy with life, so editing has been slower than usual! Your regular Season 2 episodes will be back shortly, insha'allah.

In the meantime, I am re-publishing my story of how I converted to Islam. 

Do make sure to check out the very first Season 1 episode on why I started TCB - The Camellias Bloom & join our community on Instagram @ thecamelliasbloom.podcast

Welcome back ! 

This week we have a hot topic, the hijab !

Why is the hijab coming off these days so easily? 

Why do some people think they are better than others just because they wear hijab? 

Today we talk about a bunch of things surrounding the topic of hijab and identity!

Welcome back!

This is actually pt.2 of last week‘s discussion.

We continue talking about how seeking knowledge can affect our identity as well as do we worship Allah for our own personal gain? Or do we worship Allah because that is our sole purpose in this life? Are you keeping tabs of your ‘Jannah points‘ so much so you lose sight of the whole purpose of being a Muslim?

Assalamualaikum!

This week we chat about how our learning journey and how we go about seeking knowledge can affect our identities as a Convert/Revert/New Muslimah. 

When we become Muslim, everyone with good intentions always wants to help us. But how much is too much?

Is it healthy to hijack a new Muslimah‘s learning journey?

Let‘s see what the sisters have to say!

Welcome back!

The recent Social Media outage on Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, (totally by Allah‘s Will) aligns perfectly with this week‘s discussion! In this episode, we sit down and talk about social media and how it influences our identity. Does Social Media shape who you are? What happens if you take away all your followers and all your posts? 

Who are you then?

Welcome back to another week as we continue from last week‘s discussion, Can you be yourself after Islam? 

 A lot of us struggle with balancing our identity before Islam and after we become Muslim. Join us as we share our experiences and perspectives and what it means to balance our old and new identities as Muslimah converts!

Welcome back to this week‘s discussion: 

Do you find or did you find that after Islam, you behaved a certain way around Muslims whilst behaving another way around non-Muslims?

Do you feel like you need to overperform around your non-Muslim friends & family to show that you are even more ”Muslim” because of Islamophobia or certain stereotypes?  Or do you need to overperform around Muslims in fear of being judged that you aren‘t ”Muslim” enough? 

Can you still be yourself after you convert?
