Hazrat Khadijah (RA) – The First Muslim Woman, Symbol of True Love and Ultimate Sacrifice
Hazrat Khadijah (RA) – The First Muslim Woman, Symbol of True Love and Ultimate Sacrifice Long before the fragrant winds of Madinah began to spread the message of faith, a noble woman in the streets of Makkah laid the foundation of Islam with sincerity, devotion, sacrifice, and love. Her name is Hazrat Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (RA) — the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the first person to embrace Islam, and the first benefactor of the message of Allah.

"Beneath the Silence"
Maya had always believed that silence was safe. In the small town where everyone knew everyone, she had learned to keep her voice quiet, her head down, and her feelings to herself. But the day her world changed, silence became something else entirely. It became a prison.

Sibling Rivalry Never Ends: But Here’s How We Called a Truce
It began with a broken lamp. Not just any lamp—but the ugly one with the dragon-shaped base and faded red shade that had sat in our parents' living room for decades. I’d always hated it, but my brother, Omar, claimed it was a "family heirloom." When I accidentally knocked it over during a heated argument about our mother's medication schedule, he looked at me like I had smashed a crown jewel. That lamp became the symbol of years of unspoken resentment, blame, and rivalry.

I Left My 9–5 to Take Care of My Parents: This Is What I Learned
I didn’t plan to quit my job. In fact, I’d spent the better part of a decade climbing the ladder, surviving on coffee and late-night emails, wearing "busy" like a badge of honor. I had a decent apartment, a predictable schedule, and a LinkedIn profile full of polished achievements. Life was “on track”—until the call came.

What the Next Generation Thinks of Us: A Letter From 2050
Dear Ancestors, My name is Ilya, and I was born in the year 2034. I’m sixteen now—old enough to understand what you left us. Old enough to question why. Old enough to write this letter from what remains of Earth, in the hope that it echoes back through the data archives and makes someone, somewhere, feel what I’m feeling.

CaucAsian
CaucAsian Part 2: A Taste of Home For most people, there’s a certain nostalgia that reminds us of home when we encounter specific things. It could be a sound or a smell or even a scenario. You hear it or smell it or see it and it brings you back to your childhood home for just a second. It is different for everyone. For me, the feeling comes over me whenever I walk into an Asian grocery store. Some combination of Asian languages being spoken and the smell of spices and seafood takes me back to my paternal grandparents house instantly. My grandfather was always cooking something. It’s a family joke that no one on my dad’s side of the family is ever full. They are always eating something and will always offer to feed guests repeatedly. A trait I inherited for sure. Whenever we would visit Grandpa’s house the first thing he did was feed us, and the last thing he did before we left was send food home with us. Indonesian, Chinese, and Thai food (or some fusion of all of them) are favorites. And there must always be rice. Always.

A Walk in the Park
Mother and father are so tall. I’m so small by comparison. I wish they’d lift me to their level. Of course, she says no again. How can your arms be tired if you haven’t been using them? That’s just a lie. I hate that she does that. Let me not show that I’m upset though. At least we’re at the park. I love it here. Let me enjoy this.

Men Only Want One Thing and It’s Disgusting
You’ve heard it a million times. Men are simple. Men are selfish. There is only one thing that men desire. Hold on though because what if everything youve been told is false? What if the reality of what men desire is more sinister profound and disturbing than anyone has ever dared to acknowledge? Its not a fairy tale. This isnt a tirade.

Here’s The Real Reason Why Men Stay With Women They Hate
