My body does not have to be perfect to be loved by Allah (SWT)

– “Perfection” by Salamatullah Eldritch

I made a post a while back mainly talking about shitty takes from muslims on Tiktok, and ended up talking about my view of self-love, as someone who was born disabled and who has struggled with body image throughout my life. I decided a while back that I wanted to turn part of what I said into a poem and illustrate it, which was a bit ambitious, but I stuck to it. And here’s the final product. I’m pretty proud of it.

This International Tiger Day, we’re remembering the Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata). This large tiger subspecies, which went extinct sometime during the 20th century, weighed up to 530 lbs (240 kg) and was second only to the Amur tiger in size. Once inhabiting a wide range from what is now Turkey to Central Asia, the Caspian tiger likely went extinct by 1970. This cat was driven to extinction by the same factors threatening surviving tigers—human activity, including deforestation and overhunting.
