You guys asked for it yet again, and so I delivered as ordered. Without any further ado, let's jump right into it! (Check out the first set of "halal" memes here.)
1. All the hijab questions.
Do you shower in your hoodie? No, right? Oh, what a shocker!
2. Trying to perform wudhu in a public place.
Lots of people know that Muslims need to pray five times a day. However, those same people don't know that we have to *essentially* wash/purify ourselves before we do so, a process called wudhu in Arabic.
Well, that's all well and good...until you find yourself on the road washing your feet in a rest stop sink because it's almost time to pray Maghrib and there's a bunch of people walking in and out who are looking at you like you're crazy...yeah. #wudhustrugglesarereal
3. Pork...yeah, no.
Sorry Sharon, but I'm going to have to pass on that pulled pork sandwich. And yes, we CAN look at the cute little piglets at the petting zoo. <3
4. "You're Muslim? What language do you speak at home?"
I'm sorry, but do you speak Christian at home?
No...just, no. S T O P.
5. Those non-Muslim friends who try to be "in" with Muslim culture. Seriously, though, we <3 you.
Oh, sweetie. You tried your best, really, you did. And we absolutely adore you for it, even if we do laugh at you. Only a little thought, I promise.
(It's supposed to be Eid Mubarak for those who don't get the reference :D)
6. Dates? Oh...you must mean the fruit, right?
Keep it halal, bro. (I'm not trynna die here! @my parents) xoxo
7. Gelatin memes are the best memes, amirite?
SERIOUSLY. Marshmallows, Starbursts, gelato...why does everything delicious have gelatin in it? WHY?
8. Marriage. (LOL)
This one killed me, okay. Us Muslim gals are pros at swerving marriage, lol. #sorrynotsorry #collegefirst #kbye
9. Muslim feminists are the real OGs.
For y'all's information, women are considered to be queens in Islam. We actually have just as much rights as men do. :) But still, I couldn't help but share. #toogood
10. That awkward moment when...
Oh! You noticed that I got my nails done, too...*laughs nervously*
...
I'M ON MY PERIOD OKAY NOW SHHHHHHHHH
(Fun fact: you can't pray or fast when you're on your period :D) #themoreyouknow
And that's a wrap! Thank you all so much for the support--it's you lovely souls that make articles like this possible! Let me know what you think of this latest installment of memes by Lydia :)
If I get an equally positive response as the last meme article, you may be able to expect more in the future!
Until then!
