Maryam Amir – Single mothers

			Especially hate seeing these
comments within the like the
		

			context of mother of Virgin Mary,
as she is calling out and making
		

			dua as a single mother, Virgin
Mary herself as she is giving
		

			birth as a single mother. Queen
Assia was not technically a single
		

			mother, but her husband, the
pharaoh, was a genocidal abuser
		

			who murdered her. And the story in
the Quran which focuses on the way
		

			that Moses was nurtured was only
specifying her role queen as his
		

			role in that nurturing. The mother
of Moses is mentioned only the
		

			Quran only gives us her narrative,
and in practice, we can benefit
		

			from that, as if, in the case that
someone is a single mother, Hagar,
		

			the mother of Ismail, the son of
Abraham alaihi salam had Ibrahim,
		

			but Abraham was ordered to leave
Hagar and Ishmael in a desert. And
		

			practically, even though he had,
he had a father who was present.
		

			She raised him as a single mother
for most of her years. And we go
		

			and make Hajj in commemoration,
make sari in commemoration of her
		

			sacrifice. There are too many more
examples of women who are single
		

			mothers and who are some of the
greatest scholars of Islamic
		

			history, those who raised some of
the greatest scholars of Islamic
		

			history, and if you are going to
claim that something is haram,
		

			especially to a woman who is an
amazing single mother, who is a
		

			recent convert, who is putting her
livelihood and life on the line by
		

			actively making content for
Palestine, who was shown in an
		

			Israeli war room as an example of
how Tiktok is being effective on
		

			making videos about Palestine,
someone says something is haram,
		

			like this, I often wonder if they
have ever read the Quran.
