“Allah is too big and open for my deen to be small and closed.” BigsDeen Book:The Taqwacores Source: The Taqwacores
“The jamaat was an almost silly mish-mash of people: Rude Dawud’s pork-pie hat poking up here, a jalab-and-turban there, Jehangir’s big Mohawk rising from a sea of kufis, Amazing Ayyub still with no shirt, girls scattered throughout – some in hejab, some not and Rabeya in punk-patched burqa doing her thing. But in its randomness it was gorgeous, reflecting an Islam I felt could not happen anywhere else ... If Islam was to be saved, it would be saved by the crazy ones: Jehangir and Rabeya and Fasiq and Dawud and Ayyub and even Umar.” PeopleIfsStillsBigsHappensWould BeGirlFeltSeaCrazyIslamSavedSillyShirtsRisingHatsPunkPieRudeGorgeousReflectingPorkRandomnessBurqaMohawksTurbansPork Pies Author:Michael Muhammad Knight
