New Podcast: Letters to the Listener
Hi everyone! I am SO excited to announce that I will be reviving "The Shrug" podcast spirit, the one where I find poems from authors and writers like you and read them out loud. You may find comments from me asking if I can read your poems on my podcast, asking for consent, of course! This will include an article I write about my finds for the week, and then link your poem there!

Could He Be Mahdi?
In the contemporary Islamic world, few figures have generated as much attention, debate, and devotion as Sheikh Sayyid Sharif Hasan al-Tihami (Muhammad bin Abdullah), widely known as Hasan al-Tihami.

The Real Secret to a Happy and Successful Life
The moment that changed everything didn’t happen at a celebration or a finish line. It happened on an ordinary Tuesday evening, when I sat alone on my couch, surrounded by things I once believed would make me happy—and felt absolutely empty.
