all about my diy microlocs: retie tutorial, how to style under hijab + are locs haram?

read me *ੈ✩‧₊˚


it has become so easy to turn a blind eye towards the suffering of others. all it takes is one scroll for us to ignore what is happening to our brothers and sisters overseas. let this be a friendly reminder to keep those living in the midst of oppression, war and overall gruesome circumstances in our hearts and prayers. I have listed a few organizations below that are currently fundraising and providing aid for the victims of congo, sudan & gaza. no amount is too small. and if you can't donate, sharing these links with someone who can could make a world of a difference:

congo: https://www.focuscongo.com/en/donate/
sudan: https://sapa-usa.org/hope-for-sudan/
palestine: https://freedombakeries.org/appeals/p...

"Those who in charity spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve" (Quran 2:274)

as always, I hope you all enjoy today’s video just as much as I enjoyed creating it! xoxo

If you are still wondering whether locs are halal or not, ‪@ZeynabuLeVon‬ created a beautiful video including evidence surrounding the permissibility of locs in Islam which I'd highly recommend you watch here:    • Locs ?- Hairstyle for Muslim Women w/...
