Try to learn Gratitude from Kahlil Gibran, we don't pray in our distress and in our need, but it would that we might pray also in the fullness of our joy and in our days of abundance.

Hello, I'm new to this site.

Book recommendations for boys in middle school please, thanks!

Beware: learning more is a smart person’s favorite form of procrastination.

Books have taught me that the most beautiful people aren’t the most perfect,
they’re the ones who make others feel seen, understood, and valued.

During my Umrah, I was studying two Qur’an translations one was published in two different countries.

One had me thinking why was I born as a woman. The translations felt misogynic like the ones we hear, more number of women in hell etc etc and had hadiths in the bottom to get deeper into the topic. As a woman, it felt so uncomfortable to read that.

However in the other translation and commentary it seemed to address both men and women. Even explained why a single pronoun usage is not sufficient to address Allah as He has no gender. There was no gender biases in that book. Felt refreshing to study that.

So now I am wondering how even the Holy Book is being translated in a way to undermine a woman’s value or control them. Felt so bad.

So from now on, I am studying translations from several publishers, letting my nafs to understand and follow the right thing. Ya Allah guide us 🤲
