All stories welcome - just keep writing.
I considered the last pleading session went so well, and I felt quite liberated asking from Muslims something that is for Muslims. I thought I would carry on whilst still in that mode.
This plea is for all those ultra reflective Muslims out there who have points of view to share. Now these are really soaked up. Why? Because we all have these thoughts and feelings, but sometimes we sort of ignore them until they are awoken by another's story of the same thoughts.
It may be about life, in Islam, Islamic life in the west, boycotting, experiences in the community or perhaps an experience from someone you know in Pakistan, Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan...
I was very lucky to get to know many shia brothers and sisters in Afghanistan who are very much in Photography and the media. I have many thoughts about these sisters and brothers about the lives that they have shared with me on occation during or after a bombing in Kabul, or just the hope or state of mind that exists amongst them. I will Inshallah be sharing these (once I do nothav e to motivate y'all to write for us I can actually get on with my own) or perhaps I am working 'baraks' as they say in Iran (wrong way around).
Anyways, I think you got the picture. Anything that pertains to life, views, thoughts or experiences, even events in the news and your opinions of them, within the fold of Islam/Shia faith anywhere around the world. Even motivational articles asking others to get involved in a project you believe in.
And please pass this link around so that anyone who wants to write can, and anyone who just wants to read about their Shia brothers and sisters can read.
Ok...I think I'm about done for now. If I think of anything else...you know I will hollar.
Allah be with you all.
Remember our Shia brothers and sisters and all oppressed Muslims (and humans in general) around the world in your prayers. Let's not forget those suffering whilst we sit in our comforts.
