Asalamu alaikum Fatima, I am a student in college top grades, family, and many good things happening to me. I have just converted a few years ago to Islam and now I am very close to leaving it. I see so much good in this religion and none in me, people just feel sorry for ... Read More
Dear Fatima, I just found out that a cousin of mine who is 16 years old and lives overseas (in South Asia) has been going a little out of control, and I honestly don’t think she’s just going through a ‘teenage rebellion.’ Not only is she failing classes (as she has been doing for years), ...

Dear Fatima, I have a friend who is an amazing person. She is extremely talented, intelligent, caring, compassionate, and kind. She has been a good friend of mine for a few years now and in all the time that I have known her, I have only known her to be a kind-hearted person. While this ... Read More
Hello All, I really needed to vent so here it is. I’m 18 and a hijabi, and while some Muslims my age date, I have always had a firm stance to not partake in it.

Since I was a child, I’ve always been one to ask questions. Now I think I might have asked too many. When I was a young boy, I came across some anti-Islamic material. Needless to say, these things shocked me with their slander of our deen and our prophet (saws). Since then, my life has ... Read More
Dear Fatima, Ramadan is here and I am trying to make the best of it insha’Allah. But I can’t help this feeling of hopelessness I have. Everybody is a sinner, but I feel like I am absolutely horrible. I used to be a good muslim girl, but I messed up recently. There are a lot ... Read More
