Cafe Muslimah & Ramadan Ponders

Asalam Alaykum,

Wow I can not believe another month of Ramadan is right upon us. I will be spending my Ramadan in Saudi Arabia this year alhumdullah and how lucky I feel. I wanted to go ahead and get an early start on Ramadan post this year so inshAllah I will be bring you all something new and educational. If you are a Muslim woman or a woman interested in Islam then please allow me to personally invite you to Cafe Muslimah. This is an exclusive Sunni forum for Muslimahs, click here to join now.

I hope to see all of your usual traffic back this year to help us lift the Ramadan spirit inshAllah.

Opening Doors Beyond Ramadan

I am so delighted that this blog will remain open all year around! I an extremely honored to have had the opportunity to join with a wonderful, diverse and intelligent group of individuals, in celebrating Ramadan this year. I hope to continue engaging with all of you in discussions about Islam and cultural diversity.

I would love to see this blog contribute to the discussion of a new, more equitable, analysis of Islam throughout the world, and establish a more productive and constructive lens through which to approach Islam and Muslim cultures - as opposed to the ahistorical and fossilized conceptions of Islam that is often articulated through the Western lens.

I am particularly interested in new themes arising with an eye to Islamic Feminism, as well as cross-cultural and interfaith feminist dialogue.

Any thoughts?
