CW: adverse childhood experiences, emotional neglect, religious trauma, suicide, suicidal ideation, spiritual bypassing, structural violence
It takes a village to raise a child. It takes a village to ruin one too, you know? This trauma is too complex to be the work of just two incompetent, dysregulated adults who shouldn't have had children. Don't dismiss the teamwork or the collective effort society put into shaping me. Give credit where it's due.
I remember last Ramadan reading a thread by someone asking something along the lines of, "If اللّٰه never burdens a soul more than it can bear, then what about someone who unalives themself?"
Bruuuuhh, the replies were infuriating lmao. So, being a survivor myself, I think that's my area of expertise.
I've forgotten what my response was, but let me just tell you my full understanding of it without spiritually bypassing accountability.
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:286 should not be weaponised to erase human accountability. Poverty, abuse, racism, gendered violence, colonialism, genocide, abandonment, and social cruelty are not neutral “burdens from God.” They are manufactured conditions. People create them. Systems sustain them. Society normalises them. Then, when someone breaks under that weight, people suddenly want to spiritualise the outcome instead of asking who helped load the weight onto their back.
When a child grows up to be an ill-adjusted adult with suicidal thoughts, it doesn't happen in a vacuum. A child is part of a family unit, and that family is part of society. What happened to that child for them to grow up carrying burdens so heavy on their shoulders all alone? Why did the person that child became believe that hurting themself more would make their pain more bearable, or that dying was the only way to relieve them of it?
“But they always seemed so happy. They never looked depressed or suicidal.” What does "suicidal and depressed" even look like? I looked pretty when I was struggling with suicidal thoughts; I'm always pretty anyway 🤷🏻♀️ And did you regularly check on them? If the person ends up unaliving themself, then whatever care existed did not reach them where it needed to.
Being depressed and having your thoughts arrive at the conclusion that suicide is the only solution isn't an individual moral failure. Let's make that clear first. It's a sign of a society that abandons care and fails its moral test.
Poverty, racism, exploitation, harassment nobody believes happened, homelessness, racial and gender discrimination, colonialism, genocide, and countless others are not just background conditions. They are systems of harm. When those systems drive someone to depression, despair, or the belief that death is the only relief left, that isn't an individual moral failure. It means the system works as intended: it fails humanity by design, and society fails you.
You see, this is why Muslims should never depoliticise Islam under a global power structure that relies on our dehumanisation. Some of us have internalised that bullshit.

🚨 Mutual aid checkpoint 12 JUNE 2026 🚨 #mutualaidspace
People are protesting in the streets here, the pigs are targeting them again, accusing them of foreign influence. All the while the president is cosying up with colonisers in the name of "peace". israel is still colonising Palestine, still being bankrolled and shielded by the same imperial machinery that has never stopped running. The two-state solution is the normalisation of occupation, of colonialism, of chronic temporariness. And everyone knows it. We are not waiting for permission to take care of each other.

“When ideas are crushed and dissenters are criminalised or even pathologised, the harm doesn’t stay abstract. It shows up as hunger, as homelessness, as lives cut short.
Violence isn’t always soaked in blood. Poverty, homelessness, famine; these are forms of violence. They’re structural. Someone has made sure the poor stay poor while they fatten themselves up.
A nation of sheep has a government of wolves. Those who fight for the sheep are dangerous to the wolves. Perhaps… the wolves need a reminder that, at the end of the day, they all bleed the same colour—and the river of blood enriches the soil for the sheep to graze.”
Written during the height of nationwide protests in my country that I had to self-censor and avoid naming it

On Pathologising Structural Criticism
Pathologising structural criticism as anger lets power avoid accountability. This polemical personal-political essay argues for dignity, boundaries, and solidarity without self-abandonment, rejecting respectability politics that demand dispossessed people make harm sound polite before they are recognised as human within every collective struggle. -
We often hear: “If Islam is enough, we don’t need feminism.” And we ask: then why are so many women still left behind; abused, unheard, erased in Islam’s name?
If Islam is truly rahmatan lil-‘alamin—a mercy to all worlds—then its justice cannot be confined to the righteous, the religious, the modest, the married, or the Muslim. It must be a source of liberation for all women; the single mother, the sex worker, the queer woman, the survivor, the non-Muslim, the neurodivergent girl who flinches at loud imams.
We are not here to compete over whether Islam or feminism has the better branding.
We are here to say:
if the roots are in tawhīd, if the trunk is justice, if the shade reaches all who are oppressed—then let it be called Islam, and may it look like feminism, taste like liberation, and walk like truth.The point is not the name. The point is the mercy. The point is the freedom of every woman—regardless of belief, past, body, or banner.
We do not ask Islam to conform to feminism. We ask Muslims to embody the Islam that liberates.

Mutual Aid Checkpoint Returns!
WRZKY's weekly mutual aid checkpoint Insha'Allah will be back very soon -
I've never thought of myself as some kind of intellectual. But wow… my intelligence has never felt so insulted before. Subhanallah. I think I have let people get away with that a lot. The next time people project their own limitations and shortcomings onto me, clearly my civility and structured arguments at that point are serving their comfort. So I'll engage at the level they understand the moment they pull a DARVO on me by taking my critique of their frameworks and worldviews, which are influenced by the systems surrounding them, as a personal attack on their person.
"Who the fuck do you think you're speaking to, and tell me what exactly makes you think your argument and political stance are so fucking unique and easily misunderstood? Again, who the fuck do you think you're speaking to?" shall be my default response if they take my critique of their frameworks as a personal attack.
I wasn't made to forgive Western imperialism and excuse moral relativism and structural anti-intellectualism wrapped in social justice language and respectability politics. Y'all can choke.
You're free to remain in your ignorance and political incoherence while acting victimised by my very global south take, continuing your cosplay as anti-capitalists or anti-imperialists, and assimilating. In other words, live your life as usual, comrades.

Orientalism and the Denial of Muslim Political Agency
Western political discourse often treats Muslims as politically illegible, interpreting Muslim societies through secular or liberal frameworks. This critique examines how Orientalism embedded in Western political thought denies Muslim political agency and frames Islamic resistance as a threat rather than a response to imperial violence.https://wrzky.com/orientalism-and-the-denial-of-muslim-political-agency/

Is Islam Compatible with Modern Values?
When people ask whether Islam is compatible with modernity, they often assume Western liberalism as history’s endpoint. Islam does not exist to validate modernity. It exists to form an ethical life, challenge power, and expose the violence hidden inside “progress.” -

In the Black Mirror episode "Men Against Fire," soldiers are manipulated by neural implants into seeing their targets as monstrous “roaches.” It’s a chilling metaphor for how dehumanization makes violence easier to justify—how perception can be engineered to suppress empathy.
We might not have implants in our heads, but we're still constantly fed narratives—through news media, films, and even video games like Call of Duty—that shape how we see entire groups of people. Often, they’re cast as the villain, the threat, the other.
One group that’s been persistently portrayed this way is Muslims. From headlines that link Islam to terrorism to entertainment that uses Muslim characters as stock villains, these patterns have created a distorted image. Over time, it becomes easy to forget that we're talking about real people—people with families, histories, hopes, and beliefs as varied as anyone else’s.
Just like the soldiers in Men Against Fire, many of us are trained—subtly or overtly—to look past someone’s humanity. And that’s dangerous. Because once we stop seeing people as fully human, anything can be justified.
The way forward isn’t through more fear, but through understanding. We need to question the stories we’re told, listen more deeply, and seek out voices that aren’t always handed a microphone. Only then can we begin to replace suspicion with empathy—and division with something more human.

Since 9/11, Muslims in U.S. media have been cast as terrorists, never teachers, artists, or neighbors. These lies fuel hate. Representation matters. #BannedHistory #Islamophobia #MediaBias #MuslimVoices #StereotypesKill

Looking for more #Muslims to follow. HMU if you have any suggestions. We need to grow a larger, stronger network of #MuslimVoices. Until then, we will be ignored here on the #Fediverse.
