Iqra'a - Read.. The very first word ever revealed in Islam. A direct order. Read. Learn. Know. Be curious. Ask. Discover. Find. Try. Experiment. 

My religion, my beloved Islam, has been hijacked.. by the media, by extremists, by people with political agendas, by terrorists, by people who hear but don't read. They don't ask. They don't learn. They simply don't know.

This blog is an attempt to take it back from them. To fulfill the very first order in Islam, to read. To represent. To reclaim *my* deen, *my* Islam.

I'm not a scholar.. I'm just a normal girl trying to figure everything out. I'm playing this by ear, so I'm open to suggestions. The only thing I know is that it is my responsibility as a Muslim to take back my religion from those who so terribly misrepresent it.
