NaksibendiMuslimah aka Aaminah – AlhamdulAllah, i’ve been Muslim since 1998. i live in Michigan, in the U.S. In past years, i kept a Ramadan journal of sorts on a previous blog. in 2009, i decided that the benefits of a journal during the holy month are so great that i would start a separate blog to chronicle my month again. My friend Mai’a was interested in this idea and had already asked me if i was willing to maintain supportive email correspondence with her for the month while she fasts and celebrates Ramadan for the first time. It occured to me that a blog together might be easier and interesting to others as well.

guerrillamama aka maia- i was raised in a southern black protestant christian home with healthy doses of fundamentalism tossed in. currently, i live in cairo, egypt. i have never fasted for ramadan before. but i really wanted to this year (2009). to use this time as a way of exploring islam, body, relationship with the material world, spirituality. and lucky for me aaminah is willing to read and correspond.
(we make the path by walking it…).

Salams Aaminah,
Welcome back to the blogging world, albeit for the month of Ramadan only. I will make sure I tune in during the forthcoming blessed month.
May Allah always bless and keep you and yours.
