Growing up as a Muslim can often be irritating. Yes, the promise of 70 plus virgins in the afterlife does help you get through life but generally it has some weird difficulties that it exclusively throws at those of Muslim faith.
But then there are also times when being Muslim is not actually that bad, quite contrary it’s pretty advantageous. In the following situations, being Muslim is nothing short of a life hack:
1. When you want to show people how badass you are
One time on the school bus, they told me to freestyle in Arabic so I recited surat Al-Fatiha to them & they all thought I was spittin fire?

2. When you want to troll someone who’s being mean to you
our mosque posted a sign after Jumma saying, "To the brother who stole our AC, you can keep it. It's hot where you're going". Lmaoooo

3. When you have to confront your parents about your bad grades
4. When you need a little helping hand
My Muslim friend got a discount on his weed bc his dealer was Muslim too. This is the power & unity of the ummat, what a time to be alive
