What We Make of America

What We Make of America Yussra MT Ebrahim Fall 2018 When you saw that the bus was full, except for one empty seat beside the hijabi, when you hesitated and even took a few steps back before sitting down, what was going through your mind? Would you have gotten off the bus and boarded the next one, if there had been time? Would you have sooner stood for the entire hour than sat by me, except that you didn’t want to draw any more attention to yourself? Don’t you realize that your hat is already a glowing alarm, a red beacon of distrust? Do you see my own headgear the same way? But have you ever talked to a Mu

A Swift Kick

A Swift Kick Yussra MT Ebrahim 3/8/2018 Gregory Rabassa opens his essay “No Two Snowflakes Are Alike: Translation as Metaphor” with an intriguing discussion of how one concept can approach another, but never fully equal it. However, it doesn’t take two pages for his examples to insult me to my very core. In explaining how different words hold different meanings in each culture, he writes, “Among some peoples, Muslims, for example, the dog is considered a vile creature, worthy of a swift kick, while others, notably those of northern Europe, dote on him.” Wow. To quell my offense, allow me to correct Rabas

Gone Is the Fog

Gone Is the Fog Yussra MT Ebrahim 6/16/2017 foggy and routine this life has us bitter we might know what it means but our wisdom can wither it can falter and dim in the course of the days we might know of Him but forget of His ways till we can see nothing but the clouds of this Earth we know there lies something beyond them of worth but for too long we breathe the nebulous vapor and the taste of fresh air from our memory tapers till the mind becomes gray so burdened a sponge soaking up acid rain we have yet to expunge but then Ramadan wafts in like a breeze so ends the stupor we fall to our knees we remember to thank Him and ask of Him

Bowing Down

Bowing Down Yussra MT Ebrahim 😎 Fall 2016 In English, it sounds like an intimidating biochemical process: ablution. In Arabic, it’s a common and approachable word, made of likable letters: wudhu. It is a process, but a rather simple one. You cup your hands to gather water and then raise it to your mouth. Rinse your mouth three times, then gather more water to wash your face three times. Then bunch up your sleeves to wet your arms up to the elbows three times. Wipe the top of your head, clean your ears with your pointer fingers and thumbs, and finally, soak your feet up to the ankles. Hygiene is a big part of Islam, but

Tell Facebook to take down pro-ISIS content!

Dec 16, 2015

Please sign and share this petition! I found several thousand pro-ISIS Facebook users and reported a bunch of them, and Facebook doesn't recognize them as violating its Community Standards. How can we fight the spread of terrorism if it's considered permissible to publicly support it? https://www.change.org/p/facebook-remove-pro-terrorism-users-and-pages
