Ramadan Mubarak: Ramadan Greetings From Wattpad
We first noticed Wattpad’s growing spiritual community when we stumbled on A Muslim’s Romantic Journey by KittyCrackers, a young writer based in London. Today this story, which tells of the religious courting of Safia by Yusuf, has almost 4.5 million reads. And it’s only one of almost 4,000 stories on Wattpad with Muslim themes.
AbdofRahman describes Wattpad’s Muslim community as “a wonderful big family” where “Despite the fact of our different nationalities, race, culture etc., we cheer, tease, critique, spam, go crazy about fictional characters, roll our eyes, guide, inspire, love.” Wattpadder how-about-no wants to help change the perception of Islam around the world:
It's up to us - the Muslim community - to show what Islam really is, and how Muslims are just normal people. We come from all over the world, and we live in places all over the world; we study, we work, we have families, and we like to have fun, too. We might make different decisions, and do things differently based on our different beliefs, but, at the end of the day, we're all human.
