Today is Black Friday, and youâve probably noticed.
Your inbox and your timeline might be full of countdowns, urgency and pressure messages like âbuy nowâ, âlast chanceâ and âdonât miss out.â
Earlier this week, we shared something different with our newsletter community:
a gentle reminder about why Sticky Me doesnât join Black Friday.
One of our lovely Sticky Me members replied with something that reminded us.
She said Black Friday never felt right to her,
because Friday is our Jumuâah â a blessed day.
And the word âblackâ doesnât reflect its beauty at all.
At Sticky Me, we donât join Black Friday. We never have.
Not because we dislike sales,
but because Islamic tools shouldnât become part of fast-consumption culture.
What we create is intentional.
Tools that nurture your childâs heart,
that bring iman into everyday moments,
that help you build a gentle, meaningful Islamic environment at home.
Those arenât things we ever want to rush or reduce to a timer.
Instead of discounts, we gifted our community something meaningful this week:
a free Kids Gratitude Sheet â a printable to help your child practice gratitude in a joyful and heartfelt way.
If youâd like it too, send me us DM with âGRATITUDEâ and weâll send it to you. đ€
May Allah fill your home with light, calm and barakah.
Today and every Friday.
