Amidst the pending Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court case, how does miscarriage disrupt the ongoing debates over abortion rights? Fears over the potential demise of the famous 1973 Roe v. Wade has galvanized contemporary advocates of a woman's legal right to an abortion to share their stories of abortion out loud, with examples including tennis legend Billy Jean King. A woman's body orchestrating an abortion onto itself, a phenomenon that the field of medicine refers to as spontaneous abortion, is still a taboo. But this predicament is not uncommon. Mayo Clinic estimates that 10 to 20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Missing Attachments, episode 2 of Season 4, is a conversation on miscarriage with Ikhlas Saleem, a Moorish American Muslim mother of two children named Mohammed Ahmed and Nur Jannah. Ikhlas recounts the brief moment when Nur Jannah's heart stopped beating and describes the lasting attachment to her daughter's spiritual life. Do consider viewing this document after listening to the episode. It lists non-profits that help women cope with miscarriage, links to other stories of miscarriage, and lastly a link to the homepage of a podcast called Identity Politics that was hosted by Ikhlas herself.
Ikhlas Saleem of Identity Politics Podcast joins us today to talk about her intersectional experiences as a Black Muslim female and mom, or as she prefers to be identified, Moorish American mom. There are so many things to be learned on this episode! Non black Muslims are discriminatory toward black Muslims and guess what--black Muslims know it! Due to black erasure that starts in our history books on US soil, there are hard truths non black Muslims will never know, and it’s time to find and face the facts of our collective history. We reflect on the story of our beloved Musa (Moses--may God be pleased with him) and see a direct correlation to our current movements for equity and justice thanks to Ikhlas’ beautiful analogy and mind blowing connection.We are so grateful to gain insight and forge relationships that we hope bridge gaps created by our misperceptions and ignorance of other moms’ experiences. May Allah make us able to change the world by recognizing and changing what’s missing within ourselves first.
