On Being a Muslim

ON BEING WITH ALLAH
• Can Allah be supremely indifferent? • Between Allah and a neurotic self • Allah: More than an ideological appendage • Words and works for a window • More to the rituals than motions? • Don’t forget to marinate the meat! • Ramadan: When boats are safe in the harbour • ON BEING WITH MYSELF • Freedom isn’t free • Dying by the inches • And the truth shall set you free • Who says I’m not important? • Life! Life! (Or is it ‘Wife! Wife!’?) • ON BEING WITH YOU • Beyond the Masks • Why two ears and one mouth? • Why does he take so long with the meat? • To dump or not to dump? • Though poverty became their lot • My Brother’s flesh on the menu? • ON BEING A SOCIAL BEING • Revelation or revolution? • The Reader’s Digest Islam • Who’s in charge around here? • On building burdens • Wanna have some power? • ON BEING WITH THE GENDERED OTHER • On Mandela and Women • The gender Jihad • It’s just a dark blob out there • The fall of man • Calling all married couples • The courage to be mad • ON THE SELF IN A WORLD OF OTHERNESS • Knock, knock - It’s the Malboet ( and He’s knocking for me) • Go slowly with the mud! • On Ants and elephants • Long live Mrs Batista! • Access to our waterholes? • The jews! Watch out for the Jews • ON BEING A NEW SOUTH AFRICAN MUSLIM • On the brink of freedom? • Tell us about your glasses • Switch off if you get turned on! • Crime out there? Or in here? • On murdering murderers • Finders keepers, losers weepers?
