    Loved your recommendations!
    I highly recommend listening to the audiobook of Can't Hurt Me, as you listen to the book, Goggins gives his own insights and comments so it's like listening to a book and podcast at the same time.

    Selin please organise a meet up for Conscious and Awakened Muslim sisters. I am a Muslim woman and I cannot find any young enlightened sisters to speak with. It’s quite isolating, if you have a Facebook could you leave details so it is possible to send a message and get the ball rolling!

    I love this hijab colour so stunning mashaAllah, I also love the book animal farm I read it years ago and hadn’t thought about it until you mentioned it. After I read it I really struggled to watch or read any political news because it all felt so similar to the book.

    Hi Selin, I was a very practicing Muslim, at least Imaan-wise I was strong even when I wasn't praying the best. George Orwell's 1984 completely altered my brain chemistry and it threw me off with the concept of religion (no beef with Islam specifically). I'm kind of left with Deism feelings but feeling distant from Islam, even though I call myself Muslim. Have you read it? What did you take from it, if you did?

      @@colorswordsandlearning Jzk for your comment. Try to finish it. It's the thought police and concept of doublethink that screwed with my head, it feels just like religion. Not saying it's the same but there are some strong parallels. Makes it feel like the argument to say "religion is to control the masses" is credible. Of course I'm not saying I fully believe this, I'm still processing it

    • @mabsfreeman1187
      @mabsfreeman1187 4 часа назад

      For me 1984 shows how MAN tries to impose layers of control between the MASSES and any higher authority - whereas ISLAM Is the only faith that defies this and removes all shackles. It's a direct connection between man and the almighty - no intercessors in between. It's the most freeing ideology out there - and thus the greatest threat to mechanisms of control.

    I’ve been following your journey and I’m really inspired by your transition to Islam. I would love to share your beautiful story with my audience on my RUclips channel, with your permission, of course. If you allow me to create a video about your Islamic journey, I would be truly honored. Looking forward to hearing from you! May Allah bless you always. Ameen.

      So far, either the Qur'an Project or Professor Abdel Haleem's translation... they are both very clear

    ..My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 𝟬𝟬𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳17018744. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 20 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 60 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can.
