"Four women at Arizona State University ASU had their hijabs removed by police following their arrest. In the blurred image, the police are seen removing the hijab from one of the four women and subsequently placing a hoodie over her head after she asked for it to be placed." from Land Palestine, 29/Apr/2024:
Ya Allah, we entrust to You Gaza and its heroes, its soldiers, its youth, its people, and its children. We entrust to You its land, its skies, its waters, and its air.
Ya Allah, protect it and all of Palestine from the schemes and evil of those who seek to harm them, with a protection befitting Your greatness, might, and power, ya Allah.

While so many of us struggle to wear the hijab each day, these Palestinian women are standing as a representative of purity.
Imagine not knowing which second of the day would be your last. Not because of a natural death but because someone decided your life was unworthy to be lived.
And all you could worry about is whether or not someone will find your rubbled body without a scarf.
"Women in Gaza have been seen wearing these patterned dresses in viral videos. But they never meant for the world to see them, and here’s why." from AJ Plus, 16/Feb/2024:
Nothing fucks me up reading The Mandalorian fanfic quite like randomly coming across a writer who just shamelessly bashes the Creed Din and his covert follow purely because they cover their faces.
It's international women's day. White feminists will speak about the hijab being "oppressive" but will not speak about the IOF abducting Palestinian women, stripping them of their hijab, and denying them the right to wear it.
It's international women's day. White feminists will tell you the importance of making period products free, but will remain silent when Palestinian women and little girls in Gaza have to use leftover fabric from tents because aid is blocked and they don't have pads.
It's international women's day. White feminists will gladly share fake accusations -which have been debunked- about mass rapes against Israeli women, but will completely ignore the sexual violence and rape threats Palestianian hostages have been and are subjected to in Israeli prisons.
It's international women's day. White feminists will scream about women's education and the Taliban -even though they only use it for their Islamophobic agendas, not out of concern- and they will remain silent when we say schools and universities in Gaza have been bombed, and there is an educational crisis.
Stop looking the other way. Stop being silent. Free Palestine.
Sorry for being late to post about Ramadan (school's been hell recently), but I thought I could take the opportunity to highlight some Muslim dolls! While there aren't many, one of my favorites is Fulla! For those unaware, Fulla was made by the company NewBoy FZCO and has been running since 2003! (MASSIVE thanks to Dollect for most of the information on her, at least throughout her early run in the 2000s)
According to Dollect, some of the first dolls released of her with a hijab was in 2005 from the "Fulla with Abaya" sets, which apparently had embroidery on the sleeves! I love the long skirts, they give me Flower Power Barbie vibes!
There were also apparently "Outdoor Fashion" dolls with a surprise element where beneath their Abaya they'd be wearing an outfit of a specific color out of purple, pink, and green. They were MILES ahead of the surprise toy gimmick of the 2010s.
However, I can't find exactly what their outdoor outfits looked like? There aren't any images of them on Dollect, though I suppose these might be them? No confirmation of such, of course, but I found the pink one labelled for 2004 on another website.
It seems to check out with the description of having purple and pink variants in the outfit, but the beige and black leads me to believe these might be another release entirely... regardless I adore the detail in these coats!
Anyway, I'll be posting about these more soon, but for now I better get back to that homework I just got distracted from lol. If you guys know of any other Muslim dolls you'd like me to post about feel free to send an ask!
Ramadan Kareem!
(Edit: Y'all thank you so much for the traction but please check out my reblogged edits to this post, I lowkey fumbled the info on the mystery outfits the first time around 😭)
