In today’s episode, we will discuss performative anti-racist work in the Muslim community. We know racism runs rampant in our Muslim community. Due to the lasting impact of colonialism, racism is deeply entrenched in our communities, sometimes the practices are covert. This is a needed topic. It leads us to ask many critical questions. Are we starting to scratch the surface? What actions can we take to build solidarity and bridges with the Black Muslim community? How are we responding to the anti-racism work? Is the mosque taking a proactive approach to addressing racism? Tune in to listen to our discussion and what actions can we take to address this relevant topic.

Assalaamu Alaikumwell-known and welcome to the Muslim in the Room. Today we’re chatting about the commercialization of Ramadan. 

How many decorations are too many? At one point we do have to ask ourselves, is Ramadan becoming too materialistic and losing its spiritual nature?

There have been so many conversations lately about this topic, and one thing that keeps coming up is how women's body parts are "trending." Back in the day when I was growing up, being stick-thin was the trend in the age of low-rise jeans. 

Whereas now, we're entering a phase where there's more acceptance for different body types – to a limit, of course.

 

So how do we take care of our health without resorting to body-shaming or attaching so much value to the way we look that it becomes overwhelming.

We recently saw a post on Facebook that said that women should only be aspiring to be good wives and mothers, which struck a chord with many women who disagreed.

Who gets to determine what a woman should or shouldn't do?

Where does a woman's true value lie?

Who says women have to do it all?

Many people came out of the woodworks claiming that Halima's relationship with her mother was toxic, and she quit to make her mother happy.

 

Why are women who take off the hijab celebrated and those who take steps to protect their hijab villainized?

 

Should parental advice and ultimately be taken as toxic behavior, or is it just parents looking out for their child's best interest?

 

Join us as we discuss these questions and more on this week's episode.

How are we dealing with being the mom, the teacher, cook, cleaner, and emotional support staff to our kids, especially in maybe a smaller living space not designed for everyone to be home all day and night?

Well, TikTok, Binge-watching t.v., hiding from the kids, and eating ice cream.

And you know what all of these things are OK.

We're all living in a global pandemic, and it's alright if you're not being productive and take care of yourself in any way that helps you feel good and safe.
