Critical Analysis on Healing, Liberation, and Decolonial Islamic Social Justice
Survivor-led, anti-punitive, and reparation focused. Islamic feminism + critical analysis for collective struggle.
Rage Against the Machine: Toward Humane Systems of Mutual Aid
Humanitarian aid is sold as neutral and benevolent. On the ground it often behaves like surveillance and control. This essay traces how mutual aid sustains survival in Palestine, Sudan, and Congo where empire’s aid abandons communities.
Orientalism and the Denial of Muslim Political Agency
Western political discourse often treats Muslims as politically illegible, interpreting Muslim societies through secular or liberal frameworks. This critique examines how Orientalism embedded in Western political thought denies Muslim political agency and frames Islamic resistance as a threat rather than a response to imperial violence.
Rethinking God: A Philosophical Examination of Free Will, the Problem of Evil, and Worship
A philosophical exploration of free will, divine hiddenness, and the problem of evil, asking whether God’s omniscience can coexist with human choice.

Muslims Parroting Colonial Hasbara
Aww, a Muslim posting an anti-Arab dog-whistle in support of Sudan — otherwise known as colonial hasbara — without naming the actual perpetrators (UAE or RSF)? 💔🥺 Sad, oh no, whatever will you do 💔🥺
It’s not okay.
I don’t excuse Arab supremacy either (f*ck you, Saudi royal), and it doesn’t mean we should leave our critical literacy behind or engage without an ounce of political awareness in our wording.
The Violence of Stupidity
When ideas are crushed and dissenters are criminalised or even pathologised, the harm doesn’t stay abstract. Violence isn’t always soaked in blood.

The Unquiet Mind: A Short Memoir
