Three Beautiful Things Thursday: 500 Most Influential Muslims Edition
1. HijabMan.Com. I set out with this web site and my on-line life at the age of 14, hoping to find a community. Instead, it looks like I’ve ending up helping to build one. A beautiful network of like-minded folks around the world. Thanks to everyone who made it possible for me to get here, and to be named one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims In The World. I highly doubt I deserve such a title, but as my sister reminded me,
“It is no longer about whether you deserve it or not, someone already decided that. The question now is, “What are you going to do with it?”
She makes a very important point. And so I’m excited to announce that I’m in talks with a web developer to make HijabMan.com resemble a virtual mosque. Only, we’ll be redefining what a mosque feels like, looks like, and acts like. It’ll be a mosque that I hope people actually want to attend.
I’ll have more details soon, but suffice it to say that HijabMan is due for an upgrade!
2. Moving. In a few short months, I’ll become a husband and a father. Just to make things a little more interesting, I’ll also be moving to the other side of the globe. All beautiful and challenging adventures!
3. Nursing School. On Tuesday, my clinical instructor evaluated my progress and praised the care I provided my patients. Within a month of school, I was cleared to give medications, and was taking care of a variety of patients. I cared for people with various Cancers, Liver Disease, and Quadriplegia— and while challenging, it was definitely fulfilling. I had a great first semester of nursing school. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I will have to discontinue my studies because of the move, but I wish my class all the best :)

Welcome! This site serves two main purposes: to entertain and educate the Believing and curious community, and to generate a bit of cash—God willing. But there’s a lot more about HijabMan.

Congrats Hijabman! So how come you won’t be nursing when you move? Or will you resume your wedding photographer business full time?

I was directed to your website via the Emel magazine in the UK.
The editor of Emel, Sarah Joseph, was also named one of the 500 most influential muslims.
Keep up the good work.
