So I create content online and it’s mainly beauty and lifestyle content.

I don’t wear hijab, but I do dress really modestly.

I don’t address being Muslim or following Islam in any of my content. I mainly do this to avoid hate comments and my religion is my personal journey so I don’t think the whole world needs to know what I follow.

I guess lately people have noticed from habits that I am Muslim as in my content it’s evident that I don’t drink, I eat only halal or kosher meat, I try not to use a lot of boycott brands and every Ramadan I basically make no content. I’ve been getting loads of comments asking if I’m Muslim.

I don’t know if I should just ignore them or address them because I know that I am doing everything I can to be a good Muslim but the moment I put that fact on the internet the haram police are just going to come for me.

Even right now where I haven’t addressed it I’ve gotten dms saying I shouldn’t eat kosher meat as it supports Israel and is haram.

Kinda disappointing assumption to make as it’s simply not true. I live in an area where Jewish people are the majority but they are also pro Palestine. Even the kosher butcher is pro Palestine. And to the point of if eating kosher meat is okay my scholar does permit it and if I’m going to be honest the halal meat in my area is terrible quality which is why I prefer to purchase kosher.

I just don’t think my religion really has anything to do with my content.

    I don’t think you need to tell people, you don’t owe it to anyone. And if you don’t feel safe, try to mask it better in your content. Stay safe.
