I am a Muslim myself, and I’m really happy because you chose to include a diverse character and also happy that you’ve decided to do your research.

To all my Muslim friends out there: if you get the time, please feel free to correct me on spellings or customs if I’m wrong!

This is something I’m actually still worried about. I feel like I just don’t know enough about the religion to write a Muslim character. I also tend to just ignore religion in my stories 
But this is super helpful! Especially the short list of phrases, they are easy to add in a story
