10 More Struggles That Muslims Have, As Told By Memes
Huffington Post

You guys asked for it yet again, and so I delivered as ordered. Without any further ado, let's jump right into it! (Check out the first set of "halal" memes here.)

1. All the hijab questions.


Do you shower in your hoodie? No, right? Oh, what a shocker!

2. Trying to perform wudhu in a public place.


Lots of people know that Muslims need to pray five times a day. However, those same people don't know that we have to *essentially* wash/purify ourselves before we do so, a process called wudhu in Arabic.

Well, that's all well and good...until you find yourself on the road washing your feet in a rest stop sink because it's almost time to pray Maghrib and there's a bunch of people walking in and out who are looking at you like you're crazy...yeah. #wudhustrugglesarereal

3. Pork...yeah, no.


Sorry Sharon, but I'm going to have to pass on that pulled pork sandwich. And yes, we CAN look at the cute little piglets at the petting zoo. <3

4. "You're Muslim? What language do you speak at home?"

I'm sorry, but do you speak Christian at home?

No...just, no. S T O P.

5. Those non-Muslim friends who try to be "in" with Muslim culture. Seriously, though, we <3 you.

Oh, sweetie. You tried your best, really, you did. And we absolutely adore you for it, even if we do laugh at you. Only a little thought, I promise.

(It's supposed to be Eid Mubarak for those who don't get the reference :D)

6. Dates? Oh...you must mean the fruit, right?


Keep it halal, bro. (I'm not trynna die here! @my parents) xoxo

7. Gelatin memes are the best memes, amirite?


SERIOUSLY. Marshmallows, Starbursts, gelato...why does everything delicious have gelatin in it? WHY?

8. Marriage. (LOL)


This one killed me, okay. Us Muslim gals are pros at swerving marriage, lol. #sorrynotsorry #collegefirst #kbye

9. Muslim feminists are the real OGs.


For y'all's information, women are considered to be queens in Islam. We actually have just as much rights as men do. :) But still, I couldn't help but share. #toogood

10. That awkward moment when...


Oh! You noticed that I got my nails done, too...*laughs nervously*

...

I'M ON MY PERIOD OKAY NOW SHHHHHHHHH

(Fun fact: you can't pray or fast when you're on your period :D) #themoreyouknow


And that's a wrap! Thank you all so much for the support--it's you lovely souls that make articles like this possible! Let me know what you think of this latest installment of memes by Lydia :)

If I get an equally positive response as the last meme article, you may be able to expect more in the future!

Until then!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
