Assalamu’Alaykum & welcome to the forest, friend.

I’m Sumaya—though around here, I go by Forest Niqabi. I’m a mother, wife, writer, YouTuber, and a grateful servant of the Most High. My heart feels most at home beneath the canopy of trees, where I spend my days learning from the quiet beauty of nature.

This little corner of the internet is where I share gentle thoughts on the environment, Islam, femininity, nourishing food, and the rhythms of mental well-being. It’s a soft place to land, to reflect and to connect.

So pour yourself something warm, take a deep breath, and stay a while. You’re safe here, and deeply welcome.
