Salaams Fatima, I am a 26 year old male medical student in the United States – raised here since I was about 2 years old. I have issues with feeling unappreciated and unwanted, and I feel inferior to other people. It begins with the fact that I have a stammer that makes it difficult for ... Read More

Dear Fatima, Hi. I’m currently 17 years old, almost 18. I come from a traditionally conservative Iranian family. When I was 15 years old, almost two years go, I became friends with a guy on my Cross Country team. I had been on the team with him the year before that, but we had never ... Read More

Subhanallah, I feel like I am reading my own life story. Such a bizarre feeling, but I’m amazed at how so many Muslim girls go though this problematic situation when trying to find a good husband. I firmly believe that a man should take you as you are when he first meets you and not ... Read More
Thank you for this story. It was a reminder to myself of where I used to be at one time and how far I have come with the Grace of Allah. Funny thing is, I’m a GUY. And I think it is very important for people to realize that it’s not only girls, but guys ... Read More
