When you lose your sleep over your love for #Rasulullah (salal lahu alayhi wa salim) You doodle. Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you who believe! Send your blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.

When @washingtonpost interviews @sadafsyedart after @muslimgirl founder @amani announces her run for a seat at the Congress. Of course, I had a lot more to say about how Islam empowers Muslim women but this is what made the cut. 💁🏻‍♀️ . . #election2020 #amanialkhatahtbeh #sadafsyed #icover #sadafsyedart #Muslim women #election #politics #usa #americanmuslimwomen #congresswoman #ilhanomar #rashidatlaib #media #photojournalism @instastory #picoftheday #instawomen #journalism #media #muslimwomen #woke #womensday #muslimgirl #muslimgirlarmy #art #washingtonpost #washpostphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qlfYqDXHs/?igshid=1qu5pnfgnm0d

“To be able to win a Daybreak Book Award for my photo documentary book iCOVER means a lot to me. Daybreak Press Publishing is founded and run by all female employees, whom I happen to admire so much. Similarly, that’s how iCOVER was created. iCOVER was nurtured by creative females in order to celebrate moments in the day-to-day lives of these Muslim women - moments that the average American can relate to once they embrace the fact that these women wear hijab.” - Sadaf Syed @sadafsyedart, Daybreak Book Award Winner for Best Nonfiction Book (iCOVER) . .

Bidding farewell to #rabbialawwal Be still my heart ♥️ Ya Allah, you are the One who gives us strength so please strengthen me Ya Allah, you are the one who knows the secrets of my heart so please nurture me with your Mercy Ya Allah, you are the one who is the Best of Planners so make me the one who has complete tawwakul of you, so guide me Allow me to bloom into something so beautiful internally from all the ups and down in my life. Who is your beloved, ya Allah? In what you love our hearts will find peace. What is beloved to you is beloved to us. Is it what completes la illaha ilallah wa Muhammad ur RasulAllah (salal lahu alayhi wa salim) Is it he who was born an orphan, Whose own family turned against him Who lost his loved ones and had to bury his children He who experienced tests after tests Is it he who was sent by God as a Mercy to mankind To save Mecca as they were drowning in sins Indeed it IS he who will intercede for us on the day of resurrection. (God Willing) So lets praise the one who leads us to the Most Praiseworthy One Oh dear soul of mine stay connected to the Divine, your status and dollar bills nothing matters, by God hold onto the rope of Allah there you will find the manual of life Be still my heart ♥️ because there is no God but God and Prophet Muhammad is his messenger. May peace and blessings be upon him 📸 & ✍️ @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed . . #prophetmuhammad #peacebeuponhim #salawat #durood #birthofprophet #madinah #masjidnabawi #greendome #12thrabbiulawal #islam #madinahmunawarah #seerah #sira #poetry #books #author #photo #instaphoto #instapoetry #poetsofinstagram #umrah #pilgrimage #photosofinstagram #travel #art #faith #believers #spirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZdIzwARpl/?igshid=r21rhkdgca45

Behind every smile is not necessarily coupled with worldly pleasures. Oftentimes it’s the result of trials in our lives that helps shape us to become a better version of ourselves. To BELIEVE that this life IS nothing but temporary and a test. It’s in our divine faith our inner core that will determine the path we want to create for ourselves while we’re on this roller coaster ride called LIFE. ✍️: @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed 📸: @warriorandthegypsy . . #life #photo #duniya #divine #faith #instaphoto #instaauthor #author @book #icover #travel #culture #muskimah #muslimphotographer #femalephotographer #chronicillness #believe #illness #trials #god #usa #chicago #california #abrahamicreligions #muslimsoftheworld #success #stories #visualartist #documentary https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wZkWlAMaP/?igshid=knubjt3w1zwf

Happiness depends on your attitude with God. Whatever and whoever is meant for you will always be yours. Allah (God) will give it to you at the best of times and at the best moment. All it takes is some patience and faith. . . @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed #sadafsyedart #photographer #instaphoto #photo #believe #faith #travel #art #author #quotes #islam #abrahamicreligions #God #culture #happiness #attitude https://www.instagram.com/p/B1t4WZEgBgL/?igshid=1a29fecy5ub4q

I have had the privilege to visually capture the stories of our brave and empowering members of our Muslim community in Chicago for an upcoming project, God Willing. There’s one thing that most of them have in common thus far. The deeper their struggles, the bigger their hearts. This is the Muslim hospitality that you will often not hear about. Let me tell you, sometimes it only takes one cup of tea or a sincere heart who is willing to listen without preconceived notions. In this photograph, I am with a Bosnian brother who was in a CONCENTRATION CAMP. Let that soak in for a bit. Despite his emotional, physical, mental struggles (even years later) he did not let me go home empty handed. That’s a true character of a Muslim. “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” - Khalil Gibran Photo & caption: @sadafsyedart #sadafsyed #sadafsyedart @chicagomuseum . . #bosnia #bosna #immigrants #bosnianrefugees #survival #concentrationcamp #refugees #photo #photodocumentary #oralhistory #visualstories #chicagorefugees #chicago #chicagohistorysociety #chicagohistorymuseum #lovenotwar #instaphoto #photooftheday #muslimrefugees #author #photographer #books #arts #humanstories #peopleoftheworld #muslimsoftheworld https://www.instagram.com/p/B06zGMvgWF5/?igshid=15he7y40jiwpf
