Who Am I — A Muslim Youth's Self-Affirmation

By Mominul Sorkar Sifat

"I write code, I dream, I protest — and I wait for the day when others like me will ask, 'Who am I?' and find the answer deep within their faith, their history, and their voice."

🌿 Introduction:

I am more than just a name. I'm Mominul Sorkar Sifat — a web developer [Learning is ongoing.], yes. But more importantly, a soul that questions deeply — "Who am I?", "Why am I a child of this time?", "What is my role here?"

This is a rough draft of my self-affirmation — where I searched for identity through code, through the shadows of history, and the dream of a new Muslim Bengal.

🕋 Faith: The Core of My Identity

I am a Muslim — not just by name. I believe that Allah's commands and the Prophet’s (ﷺ) example should flow through every part of my being. In every word I write, I aim to reflect that Tawhidi spirit — not as a dream, but as a real cultural and political revolution.

💻 A Coder, But Not Just a Coder

Yes, I’m a web developer [Learning is ongoing.] — but I don’t just stick to React or Tailwind. I see coding as a tool of liberation. I dream of building an AI Cyber Café where even the most underprivileged youth can rise with the light of tech.

🧠 Deep Thought: I Am an Idealist

My thoughts are shaped by Sayyid Qutb , Ali Miah Nowdvi, Asif Adnan, Tolstoy, Malcolm X, and Kazi Nazrul. They’re not just inspirations — they’re part of my soul. I’m INFJ by nature — deep, introspective, sometimes exhausted. Every crisis births a new philosophy within me, flowing into my work, my words, and my prayers.

🔥 Protest: The Roar in My Silence

I don’t scream on the streets. But my pen rebels. I write and burn against student oppression, cultural slavery, and national distortion. Sometimes my words sound like rap. Sometimes like poetry of Tawhid. My language is Bengali — but shadows of Arabic and Urdu whisper in it, as if Nazrul himself tells me, "Wake up, Bengali Muslim!"

🕌 Dream: The Future Muslim Bengal

My dream isn’t just personal success. I believe we need a new political consciousness — one that weaves Islam and nationalism into a powerful, honorable Muslim nation. A Bangla Saltanat — governed by justice, discipline, and knowledge.

📜 Conclusion: This Is Me

I am a Muslim youth — who knows how to code but doesn’t just code. I believe that Tawhid, tech, and culture can together create a new awakening.

Inside me is the dream of an era, traces of a lost Saltanat, and a voice waiting to rise. If you wish to find yourself, ask: "Who am I?" Maybe somewhere in these lines, you’ll find a reflection of yourself.
