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.
