AlMaghrib

Ramadan Kareem to all my Muslim Brothers and Sister!

As most of you know I am a Muslim, strongly believe in my faith. With all religions you have a climax and a decrease in faith, it is but natural. I was VERY privileged to be able to go to Atlanta, GA to attend a lecture about Sahih Bukhari ( For all you who do not know who Sahih Bukhari is... He is a  Muslim scholar birth name was Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari. He compiled the Hadith of the Prophet(PBUH), which for Muslims is a major part of the religion). AlMaghrib is an institution that is in the US and around different countries in the world that teach Islam to the people. It is not like most lectures you attend, it is an intense but VERY spiritual lecture. I have never left a lecture and have the same feeling that AlMaghrib provided me! I attended this class last week, I pray that months to come I still feel the high faith I am feeling to improve myself. I would highly ENCOURAGE anyone and everyone to attend a class! 

They will have a webcast tomorrow online. If you want a taste of Almaghrib visit their LIVE Broadcast online!!! 

In addition to this live broadcast they have many youtube channels from their different scholars!

An EXPERIENCE that you can not explain with words, is an experience you should share with the world!

We hold on to the memories we cherish until one day we set them free to fly like doves in a land over olive trees... 

Palestinian Photographic History

My work was inspired by artist such as Corinne Vionnet, Naji Al-Ali, and Asim Rafiqui.

Memories of Palestine

Hey Bloggers,


As most of you know I am Palestinian and Proud. Around this time last year I was getting ready to go visit my HOME, Palestine. I truly miss it. It has a place in my heart that is indescribable. I long for the days I can go home and stay to visit family and friends. My favorite things about Palestine are that most of my FAMILY lives there. I really enjoy visiting every single one of them. I love visiting family friends as well. My all time favorite, I MUST do when I go home is to go to Jerusalem. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jerusalem, the old city, the sacred places, and of course the food. I love everything about it!

If you are ever able to visit Palestine YOU MUST DEF SHOULD! It is an experience you will never get anywhere else. It is not as dangerous as the media makes it seem. It is the safest place I have been. You can leave your doors unlocked for the entire day and feel safe. Take late night strolls at 1am in the morning and not feel any sort of danger. 

So... today I want on a rant of instagraming photographs from my visit last summer. So, I decided that I would like to share it with everyone.  

Here are a few of those images... I have FOLDERS of images that I hope to upload once my summer begins.

My cousin's cute little son! I love his smile!

BEST Ka3ek ever!

If you are ever in Jerusalem shopping in the old city, once you Bab el 3mood, the Damascus Gate go visit this old man. He is such a great person and makes the best Palestinian dessert EVER!!!! Every year I go home, I make it a MUST that I go buy from him! I know the year I go back and don't see him I will be very sad. I can remember going to him ever since I was a child! LOVEEEEEEEEE. Allah Yehmee, wa yaser 3la. Ameen Ya Rab

Many more pictures to COME!

Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
