Solace for the invisible Muslim or the best writing workshop ever for young thinkers, Halal If You Hear Me is the third in the fantastic BreakBeat Poets series determined to put forth the sharpest, most modern writing from a breathtaking and diverse spectrum of talented intersectional brown and black writers.

This was my first Ramadan read and I'm so glad. I laughed and I cried and I learned so much.

Effusive praise lies ahead. This collection is divided into five parts, one part for each pillar of Islam. It honestly felt like hearing from an older sister that I don’t have, especially the fifth Zakat part. Reading it is probably the most seen I’ve ever felt, to the extent that I felt like it were the NSA, instead of Safia Elhillo and Fatimah Asghar, that put it together. I can go on for a long time about different aspects of it, but I will avoid spoiling details about what the collection addresses. Overall, it was powerful to have the chance to internalize, page after page, that there are different ways to be Muslim. And so much more, but read it for yourself.
