إِن يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْرًا
If Allah knows there is anything good in your hearts,
يُؤْتِكُمْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّا أُخِذَ مِنكُمْ
He will give you better than that which has been taken away from you,
وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
And He will forgive you. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
— Surah Al-Anfal [8:70]
technology related sensory memories from my childhood
- sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
- the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
- ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper
- rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint
Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked
The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass
The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover
The sound effects in kidpix
Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands
…God, it is so weird these things aren’t around any more. Cause it’s true, the sensations are so distinct. It’s bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics.
goin home to be ugly in peace is one of my fav things to do
“اللهم ان رأيتني ابتعد عنك فردني اليك ردا جميلا”— Oh Allâh, if you see me getting farther away from you, return me to You in a beautiful way.

shoutout to all the Muslims who don’t have anything to do this eid, who dont have family or friends to celebrate it with. Shoutout to all the Muslims who are struggling to pay rent or pay bills and don’t have money to go out on Eid. Shoutout to the Muslims who feel disconnected with Islam and don’t feel Eid as a special holiday for us. Shoutout to the Muslims who have to work or go to school this Eid and aren’t going to be able to celebrate. And of course lets not forget our brothers and sisters who are living under occupation, living through war, living through tragedy this holiday weekend.
I want my husband to have this accent
alright, that’s fine, that’s pretty con-fucking-venient
