Great site, useful resources and fantastic work..keep it up and Jazakoum Allahu Kahiran Insh’Allah.
I only discovered this site yesterday, after reading a few articles I realized that you had put into words exactly how I have always perceived Islam and how I should be as a person, a much needed reassurance at this stage of my life that I am not the only one thinking this way.
I have forwarded this site to many of my friends as I see much sense in what you have written. Many thanks for a resource that is so important for my generation who are facing difficult questions about life and Islam, and who never seem to find the connection between the two.
Walaikum Salaam Fatima. Thank you so much for your support and feedback. We are a new site, only 6 months old. Our initial post was in March. Please look for future posts and spread the word about our site. We are hoping to reach as many people in our community as possible. Thank you. Please continue to visit and provide us with feedback.
Asalamu’Alaykum, I absolutely love this site and the concept behind it, it is so critical in this article driven self help society!
I have one question- is there a way to access older posts, archived ones? (I’m assuming there are older posts, or perhaps I’m wrong and there are only articles as of March as I’ve just discovered this gem recently!)
Very impressive work! Keep up the great service to the ummah, sisters.
I’m totally hooked! Amazing blog!
MashaAllah, excellent blog! Keep up the good work Inshallah!
