HIJABI DIARIES

the Deen & the dunya can never be balanced. the Deen is eternal, the dunya is temporary. 🤍

Just “Be Kind” ✿

This one started as a draft…. something I wrote and almost didn’t share. It made its way to my newsletter, then here. Not Everything Needs a Title is just me, speaking from that quiet, uncertain space……

We don’t really talk about guilt enough. That quiet heaviness that follows us around after a mistake, the late-night thoughts that whisper we’ve failed again, the feeling of praying but still wondering if Allah hears us when we’ve slipped so many times. In this episode of Fragments of Us, I sit with that reality, the guilt that sits with us, and reflect on how it shapes our hearts, how it can weigh us down, and how it can also lead us back to Allah. This is a reminder for anyone who feels unworthy, tired of falling, or unsure if they can still be forgiven.

I’m so excited to share something new with you, a fresh series on the Hijabi Diaries called 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐬. This first episode, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒍, is where it all begins.If you’ve been following my work through deen_journals on instagram, you already know how much I love curating reflective stories, soft pieces of life, faith, and memory that remind us of Allah in the simplest ways. & now I’ve started curating personal stories, just for you; (your experience; my words). This series is an extension of that heart. So if you enjoy the reflections here, you’ll find even more at Deen Journals, where we gather these fragments in writing, journaling, and shared reminders. May these little pieces of us become a source of comfort and reflection for you too. Amīn
