akilanajmahSo this is supposed to be my religion blog. And I have lots of things to say about Muslims and religion and thoughts but man, if they aren't all negative.
Right now I'm in a thick of people who will blindly follow the ulama without reflection and people who think that everyone else in all of Islam is backward. And this isn't the internet, this is in my life on the weekends and in my facebook when I don't show up to stuff.
And it's driving me up the wall. And it is overwhelming my perspective. And you know what, I am not even going to call these two groups out for what they are, but you know what I'm talking about.
But Ramadan is coming and I need to use this space again for reflecting on the wisdom that Allah has provided and the mercy He has bestowed and the prayers that have been answered and all of the amazingness that has been given without even asking. So I'm going to try it.
If you read this, and I highly doubt you do, what would you like to see?
More personal stuff? More interpretation? More essays?
Are there topics you'd like to read about?
Maybe you can help get me going again.
