I am happiest when I am closest to You
and it explains why any moment I have been away
I have always felt uneasy like sudden nausea or internal discomfort,
like being surrounded by people you know
yet feeling deeply lonely
& ever since my heart has leapt Your way,
seeking fulfilment in temporary things
is no longer necessary
/I only need You/

Kalimah is a platform created to empower Muslim women and amplify their voices through creative writing and more. We publish original works of any genre by Muslim women. While Kalimah is an unapologetically Muslim space, we also accept submissions from women of other marginalised communities, as long as it adheres to our guidelines which can be found HERE.
