Yes, She's Funny In This | Huda Fahmy
Q: What advice would you give to Muslim kids who want to become graphic novelists?
Share your work consistently, focus on progress not perfection, and seek communities and mentors who support your voice. It's important to stay true to who you are, pursue education, and build the confidence to tell your story even if it feels risky at first.
Yes, She's Funny In This | Huda Fahmy
Q: How do you balance authentic Muslim representation with broad appeal?
I write for the Muslim gaze first, staying true to faith and cultural specifics, but I also aim for universal themes like identity, family, and growing up. This dual approach helps readers from different backgrounds connect with the characters and stories while preserving authenticity.
Yes, She's Funny In This | Huda Fahmy
Q: Tell us about your journey from web comics to publishing multiple books.
I started as a kid who loved drawing and telling stories, posting simple web comics with my sister's encouragement, gradually building an audience. A pivotal break came when an editor connected with another creator and discovered my work, leading to my first major publishing deal and the ongoing Huda F series.
Do You Know How to Halal Hustle?
Q: How can someone start practical budgeting while staying true to Islamic ethics?
Begin by tracking income and expenses, use simple budgeting categories, automate savings toward important goals like hudj, and maintain discipline around fixed versus discretionary spending, all while keeping faith-based goals central to financial decisions.
Do You Know How to Halal Hustle?
Q: What are the basic Islamic principles for money management that everyone should know?
Core principles include avoiding interest (riba), avoiding debt that cannot be paid off, clear and honest transactions, zakat, and recognizing that wealth is a trust from Allah, with barakah dependent on ethical use and intention.
