Green Hijabi: Healing, Vegan And Halal Living

I've become an ardent fan of Green Hijabi, the outdoorsy halal lifestyle blog created by eco Muslimah Aqiylah. I strongly feel you should become a fan too. Here's why.


Green Hijabi shares quick tips on introducing green veggies into your palette. She's written a seriously satisfying and sweet pumpkin smoothie recipe for the autumn season (fall for my American readers). And my personal favourite - a photo essay on her environmentally alert Eid.


Green Hijabi has a literal life-guide we could all take a leaf from; she believes in:

• "investing more on the inside than the outside
• that the 5 pillars are the means to aligning our physical and spiritual selves
• God answers all sincere prayers; to receive them, we must be open
• His creation - everything and everyone - is ultimately interconnected
• nature is the physical manifestation of God's omniscience
• in bio-individuality: each one's path to optimal health is unique
• the body is designed to thrive on foods found in nature; all else is questionable
• food is not a religion, but is a relevant part of it"

What also makes Green Hijabi yum is the oozing wholesome personality. It's just fun to read and learn from her, and I'm thinking of contributing to her commonly used phrases:

No, I really don't miss meat or cheese. | Your body has rights over you. | It (headscarf) used to be a skirt/ dress. | La shukran 'ala waajib. | I keep it halal.
