“There is a part of me that wants to write, a part that wants to theorize, a part that wants to sculpt, a part that wants to teach... To force myself into a single role, to decide to be just on thing in life, would kill off large parts of me.”
― Notes to Myself
― Notes to Myself
“فرغم خروج دعاتنا وفقهائنا على الفضائيات في كل مناسبة والتغني بتكريم الإسلام للمرأة، إلا أنه لا يخفى على أحد كيف كرس الفقه الموروث وضعاً مهيناً لها، ربما عن غير قصد تماماً، لكنه وضع يناسب مجتمعات ذكورية تسودها الروح القبلية والعشائرية، فالمرأة وفق هذا الفقه متاع مع الأشياء والحيوانات، وناقصة عقلٍ ودين، تحتاج لولي يزوجها ومحرم يسافر معها، باعتبارها ضلع قاصر لا تستطيع تولي أمور حياتها، ضمن نظرة دونية بعيدة كل البعد عما جاء في التنزيل الحكيم، نظرة تقدم الحجج الجاهزة لكل من يتهم الإسلام بالتخلف والرجعية، وتعطي مسوغاً لظلم النساء حتى من أنفسهن، راضين في كثير من الأحيان بالتنازل عن حقوقهن لرجل ظالم، له أفضلية عليهن، على اعتبار أن الله أعطاه القوامة، فله أن يتدخل في شؤون أخته، أو يضرب امرأته، أو يتزوج ثلاثة أخر، أو يطلقها متى أراد، وعليها طاعته والرضوخ لرغباته كي لا تلعنها الملائكة، وعليها التستر كي لا تفتن السيد المبجل، وكل ذلك في أغلب الحالات لن يجعلها تطال الجنة، حيث أكثر من في جهنم من النساء.”

Does knowing me help someone I know become a better person?
Am I becoming a better person knowing someone?
Here’s how I know a relationship is working. When I’m with that person, I am happy. I look forward to seeing that person. I’m not afraid that that person will hurt me intentionally. I’m not hesitant to speak up if I do feel hurt. Knowing that person, challenges me to grow. Being around that person gives me comfort when I feel sad. That person is someone I want to celebrate with when things are great.
I’ve let go of expecting people to behave a certain way or to treat me a certain way. However, I feel I’m more idealistic about my relationships than I’ve ever been. I want the most difficult thing you can ask a person and that is for them to be themselves, the good and the bad. I want authenticity where many find it hard to be authentic with themselves. It’s from our authentic selves where true connections are made.
It’s from those true connections where I finally feel understood.”
