Description

Trigger alert: child loss Abeeha Hassan joins us today to discuss the very recent stillbirth of her newborn. She talks to us about how she grieved her daughter and talks about normalizing it contrary to what most Muslim cultures permit in society. Her process of closure may seem familiar to someone else who has gone this journey alone and we are so touched that Abeeha chose to share her story with us. We pray a momsister finds comfort in knowing there’s someone sharing her story of loss and is available to talk about it.This month's series is about how to do hard things, and in our opinion, burying our own children is the hardest. Abeeha is a model of sabr, taqwa, as well as normalizing our emotions. She helps us understand that saying Jannah’s name is normal. We always seek to better support our moms in all their situations, and the education she provides on how to do that is invaluable. Grab a Kleenex, but there are moments where we find gratitude and laugh through the tears.Note: 1)    Miscarriage-pregnancy loss before 20 weeks1)    Stillbirth-pregnancy loss after 20 weeks (intrauterine fetal demise)2)    Neonatal death-death within the first 28 days of life Links:Discrimination vs. hijab in Kansas City, MO: https://apnews.com/article/73d2c6104c891672e4d9cad88290a8f6 Find Abeeha on IG: @mamaofalittleangelWeb: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: mommyingwhilemuslim@gmail.comFB: Mommying While Muslim page and Mommyingwhilemuslim groupIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastSupport the show

Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where two American born and bred Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media.Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri are moms first, careerwomen second, and global citizens at heart. They meet taboo topics head on because they weren't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. They aim to better their immediate households, communities, and their momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has the privileges they have, and they are eager to learn more than they are to share their own experiences. Always looking to give back, they find women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, they also tackle political ones because when laws affect their kids, they're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here.Along the way, they recruit momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!
