Fig & Olive: Asking more of our religious leaders? Or should we ask less?

http://bythefigandtheolive.com/asking-more-of-our-religious-leaders-or-should-we-ask-less

Asking more of our religious leaders? Or should we ask less? August 5, 2016. Photo by Nicole Najmah Abraham. What is the job of an Imam? In the most basic sense it is simply to lead the prayers including the Friday Jummuah. But what does it usually mean in our communities? How can we accuse any religious leader of being incompetent if we keep the job position so vague? Are we willing to pay for this increased training? While others help with community leadership by contributing their skills? Notify me of...

Fig & Olive: Learning on your own

http://bythefigandtheolive.com/learning-on-your-own

Learning on your own. August 26, 2016. What is the reality for most of us is that if we make an effort we could probably gain a lot by doing a little each day -as long as we have a plan. My advice is just because you don’t have a teacher in the traditional sense doesn’t mean you can’t acquire tradition knowledge and an orthodox understanding over time. So how is this possible? Foremost with du’a and possibly with these following six steps. Keep in touch with any scholar. Think about learning online.

Fig & Olive: Reflections

http://bythefigandtheolive.com/category/reflections

How to be a good wife? Go back to the 1950’s. January 28, 2017. There’s a popular page from a 1950’s textbook. That tends to make its rounds every couple of years. It always amuses me when this list of rules on. How to be a good wife. Pops up on social media or some random blog, usually, to be made fun of. But in all honesty, as much as people joke about it, could it be that we’re also desperate for information? CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER: Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before you...

Fig & Olive: Why I applaud Beyoncé

http://bythefigandtheolive.com/why-i-applaud-beyonce

Why I applaud Beyoncé. April 30, 2016. When she goes, for example, shopping in a high-end store, no one will accuse her of shop lifting or assume she’s a thief. But is it really possible to truly disconnect one’s self from the struggles people who share your skin color, history and ancestry face? Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).

December 6, 2016. I’ve had this tea most mornings for the past few weeks and personally feel a small boost of energy after drinking it. It has also helped me to have a pleasant morning routine, hope it does the same for you. Most of the above ingredients have been linked to aiding in clear skin, so inshaAllah it helps, it also is a nice natural “energy drink” for those of us who just want a small boost in the morning.

Fig & Olive: Black Muslims And Black Issues

http://bythefigandtheolive.com/black-lives-matter

Black Muslims And Black Issues. December 12, 2016. Or was it natural and expected to go back and give what you’ve benefited back to your people? No, fighting for non- black Muslim rights under the general guise of “Muslim Rights” is no more important than fighting for black human rights which include Muslims. Why should we give up on our struggle for theirs? We can’t afford to lose a single soul in the black community in the fight against oppression and for empowerment. Leave a Comment (cancel).

Fig & Olive: Poetry

http://bythefigandtheolive.com/category/poems

May 31, 2016. I want to sit on a sidewalk. Forget who I am. Or who I belong to. And why I am. My half- baked ideas. May 2, 2016. It just makes you want to sit down and be quiet. There’s a freeing feeling that comes with it. It heals you without knowing your illness. It nurtures you without use of words. It becomes a part of you as though it was never separated. Maybe it is you. Completely free of expectations. Bearing with grace every hardship. First published on my old blog. November 10, 2015. They are ...
