Author: Aakifah This was an issue that I didn’t understand at first when I became Muslim, and I kind of didn’t really pay attention to the ruling so-to-speak. Before I reverted to Islam, the majority of my friends were males, and I never got along with females too well. However, there are many examples that keep showing up in my life (well, the lives of those I know) that show me more and more

Author: NeverEver As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh Bismillah ar-rahman ar-raheem I went to a lecture today about authenticity. Specifically it was about African American literature, and how it is affected by the need to establish "authenticity" and "keep it real", while at the same time it’s no longer able to define African American culture, with such strict limitations.

It all started after a holiday to Algeria, my husband is Algerian and we went to visit his family. I found it to be such a beautiful place with warm, friendly people. We had a great time! But one thing really stuck with me,

Author: Amanda The sun has finally shown here for more than two consecutive days and I am wavering on the possibility that it just might be summer time....or spring at least...I'm not sure. I've been seeing so many artichoke recipes lately that it was making me tear up just thinking about places where they were already in season when all I was getting here was some rhubarb and early lettuce.

Assalamu Alaykum, Peace be on you :) Sorry girls I could not continue with business as usual after reading Jessica Aisha’s article "Stop acting so oppressed: a message to my sisters". Her article got me thinking, I felt that she was crying out loud for us to take action. And this question kept popping in my mind all the time ‘what can I do to help?’ I started to analyse the situation and

Author: Jessica A'isha Mouneimne "To niqab or not to niqab" That is the question we as many South African Muslimah ask ourselves from time to time. However, this freedom to choose what and how much fabric we put over our faces is a luxury many of us seem to take for granted.    As Europe wages war on the Muslim woman, in both school as well as the workplace, the global community barely blinks an

In reality the endeavour of bringing up our children is a lot more complicated. The pace of modern life, diet, technology, suitable play, safety,

I have a secret to tell "I love breathable cottons with simple lines". YES, when shopping I grab anything that's colourful and cotton, for day wear. When I saw these outfits at Haya Clothing I thought I must share them with you. They look trendy, modest and quite comfy too :)

This has been my first trip overseas that I wasn't thrilled about because its my first trip away from my husband. I know I didn't disclose before that I recently got married, even though I should be twirling on the mountain tops. Believe me I am :) I just didn't on this blog.  Everyday I've spent away

As I ate my first slice then my second slice I was just so confused to why has anyone not tried this sinfully delicious cake? I cannot even begin to put into words how unbelievable this cake is!

When I started to study Islam, I came to learn about Lady Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid.

Author: Heart and Soul It’s a feeling indescribable. I’ve never met Him, but long to meet Him one day. Although it’s still in its early stages, I know this love will grow and keep growing endlessly (Insha Allah). The more I learn about what He is, what He can do, what He has done...the more I want to sacrifice for Him. Loving Him makes me cry yet He never fails to bring a smile to my face in

I wasn’t bored today, on the contrary, super busy. However, I made time to visit NeverEver’s cooking blog. Her welcoming note is encouraging for those of us who know little of cooking. Alhamdulliah “Food is definitely NOT my life. I don't spend all of my time cooking and really I'm not very good at it. But it is something I do as a hobby when I get bored or really hungry. I do it for friends

If you don't know my special guest today, I suggest you sit comfortably and watch this lovely true movie. Its 23:47 minute long, so switch off your mobile and close your room if you have to. It's beautiful, trust me :)      Salma has been painting for thirty some years. She has traveled extensively, from India to Iran, Kuwait, UK, Germany and US. Folk art, miniature art and Arabic

When I first heard of Mujaddidun I  thought that the girls and boys will work together, just like “The Apprentice” (UK). But that interaction only happened after 5 episodes. I wonder is it because the show had to be different from “The Apprentice”, due to copyright regulations? Anyway, I love the show, but I would have enjoyed it more if I got to see them working together from the start. If you

I just could not leave Saudi Arabia without congratulating Almiskeenah (OMG what a humble name). She recently took part in a flickr-marathon. She took 365 morning pictures. A big commitment and impressively she was up to the challenge.

We had a lovely stop at Safe House in Kuwait, and now its time for a quick visit to Saudi Arabia. Today we get to see the colourful work of Fruitful Fusion. Whenever someone mentions embroidery, weaving, knitting and sewing I remember Allah Almighty’s words: “Do not be like the lady who unravels her weaving after she had woven it strongly”(Holy Quran, Al Nahl, Chapter 16 Ayah 92)Allah Almighty

I was lucky to stumble upon Manayer’s blog after writing the post about “hijab or no hijab you are my sister”. I thought, this is definitely a good sign. Don’t you love it when you think of something and it appears that very moment? Wow! Its serendipity and it happens to me a lot on Google. Love Google. Now back to Manayer. I believe a blog name can tell a lot about a blogger's character.

I came across Tiananda's blog tealovecoffee after reading her interview in Hijab Style. She was kind enough to share her fashion tips. Her style is simple and comfy. I also noticed she loves pastel colours.  Her blog is a work of art and is a pleasure to explore! It’s so cheerful and pleasant to the eye, just like her attitude.     The right side column is so pretty! A DIY project Tiananda

I also want to let you know that I will be featuring sisters who don’t wear the hijab too. After all, they our sisters and we love them. Yes we love them!

I love the way some sisters express themselves. And today I’d like to introduce you to blogger `Holy Crackers'. If you ask me to describe her personality in a few words: I'd say, she’s passionate, playful and living on purpose. That’s the first impression I got. Just view this video, and see how passionate she is about Islam. She also wrote this: “It's about high time Muslims stopped being

Taslimah's blog: Craftytassy: http://www.craftytassy.typepad.com What cartoon character best describes you? I think I would say ‘Tinkerbell’: sometimes ill-tempered, at other times helpful. It also happens that at times, when I do talk, nobody understands me expect myself and those who really know me! lol In 5 words or less describe your creative work.Experimental. Colourful. Non-conformist.

I've been following a number of interesting blogs lately. And I thought today why not present best bloggers with an award, in recognition of their excellent work. You will be able to vote for your favorite bloggers. The blogger that receives the largest number of votes will win this award. We will award three bloggers for; first, second and third place. Do you think its a good idea?

Why I created Sisterswhoblog?There’s just so many of us blogging quietly, and I think we are missing on something great. Like networking and getting to know other creative minds. Blogging has become an indispensable tool to uplift, motivate, invigorate, and empower. I believe that there are many talents and passions that need notice and support. So I came up with the idea of sisterswhoblog. A

Salam Sisters, I created this blog out of love. The idea came to mind and I went ahead with it and didn't hesitate. Thats how I am when excited. I just go, go and go. Follow your heart, because thats where you'll find goodness. My goal is to connect you with inspiring Muslim sisters who are out there, blogging their everyday joys, dreams, ups and downs, challenges, and playfulness. Get to know
