The Purple Journal

This Blog

is a journal of Islam, life and travel documented through photographs.

Because behind every photograph is a story.

Hi!  My name is Nadia and this blog is a medium for me to document the chronicles of life as I experience them first hand: Islam, marriage, family, conception, travels, food, friends, frustrations and blessings.  But most of the time, it’ll be glimpses of my part of the world – a journey as seen through the simple lens of my 7 MP point-and-shoot camera.

Update: My husband just bought me a Nikon D40!  So stay tuned for better pictures!

    Very best of luck to you. I hope this blogging experience is as therapeutic for you as it has been for me already. We both seem to be seeking the same results of inner-peace and fulfillment through our writing. Thank you for your comment on my blog. I appreciate it. And I look forward to reading more from you!

    Despite the fact that i am very comment-shy i just have to say this- i think your blog is very original and i love the pictures you take. Another thing i couldn’t get enough of is the way you documented your trip to Saudi it was refreshing to see it through someone else’s eyes.

    I’m glad you enjoyed reading the posts! I’m so happy that you took time to comment; truly appreciate that. Thank you so much :)
