Sisterhood (and brotherhood) is deeply embedded in Islam, mentioned countless times as a virtue of a Muslimah with good faith. Allah (swt) says in the Quran, “the believers are but one brotherhood”. The concept of sisterhood and brotherhood is almost the basis of our universality - and it’s a shame it’s often forgotten about today. It was narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said to us to be brothers/sisters to each other, to not outbid, or envy, do not oppress your brother/sister, or humiliate them - “the whole of a Muslim’s being is sacred to another”. I wonder how many of us online think of the sacredness of the sister we are commenting about?

Thought provoking read! Thanks for sharing :)

Loved you piece Nawal! I can really relate with the overanalysing of any interaction/new friendship. Being a young adult is truly a bumpy ride because you are still discovering yourself while trying to make long lasting connections with other people. But Alhamdullillah we learn from every experience. May Allah provide us with good companions in our life <3 <3
