Nora`s Garden - A journal of Gardening, Faith and the Sacred in the Everyday.
The Garden of Belief
Gardening as an act of patience, care, and hope.
Faith as a daily practice, rooted in wonder and submission.
Difference — of plants, people, perspectives — not as conflict, but as color.
Oneness — the unity at the heart of it all, where diversity is held in harmony.
Here, I share my journey:
Through my literal garden, where planting, growing, and harvesting reflect deeper lessons of patience, provision, and trust in God’s timing.
As a student of the fiqh of halal food, exploring the sacred rules, wisdom, and ethics behind what we eat — from farm to fork.
This journal is for anyone who:
-
Seeks a closer connection to Allah/God/Creator through daily life and natural rhythms;
-
Wants to understand halal not just as a rule, but as a lifestyle rooted in purity, justice, and compassion;
-
Believes that faith is found in the small things — a whispered prayer, a seed planted, a meal made with intention.
Whether you are here to learn, reflect, or walk through this garden with me — may it nourish your heart and deepen your deen. May you find signs, serenity, and a sense of connection along the way.
I believe in a world where every garden can become an act of love for the Earth.
Nora’s Garden is a seed of hope, an invitation to return to living in harmony with the planet.
This a quiet space where the soil and the soul are both tended with care.
Where the rhythm of seasons mirrors the rhythm of faith.
Where every leaf, weed, and bloom speaks of difference — and yet of divine unity.
This is more than a journal about gardening.
It is a reflection on life as a garden —
Messy, miraculous, diverse, and deeply sacred.
My Mission
Through this website, I hope to revive something ancient and timeless: A way of gardening that is halal, ethical, natural, and deeply spiritual.
We are not separate from the earth. We were made from it. And with the right intention, we can return to it in harmony, not destruction.
Let the first halal garden live again — in our homes, our hearts, and our hands. Halal is protection.
I share my garden not just as a memory, but as a seed — planted for those who come after me. Don’t stop at what is visible. Question, study, explore. There is so much more behind the surface, waiting for those who dare to look deeper.
My content is the result of years of dedicated study and work, and I am uniquely positioned to bridge knowledge for a better world—especially one where misconceptions have become a daily staple.
