I am a mixed race Muslim, which sounds simple in itself, but I can often find myself thinking, ‘Where do I really belong?’ I am Libyan on my father’s side, and English on my mother’s side. Oh, how much easier it must be to just be one race! You know right away where you belong, and there’s nobody around you saying, ‘But Libya is better!’ and vice-versa.

Illusionary Freedom
The first thing that a lot of Muslims who don’t live in a Western country think is that it must be a very bad place, full of temptations to commit all kinds of sins. That may be true, but if you stay close to your deen, ultimately you will begin to see that Western people aren’t so free.

Everyday while I drive to school and work on the infamous A1A where all of Florida’s rich and famous live along the beach, I pass by a graveyard and look to it.
I’m dumbfounded by death. It’s like I don’t even know what it is.
