life of a young, african american muslimah.
Monday, November 8, 2010
"If you have to judge me, please judge by my writings instead of my appearance. Wearing hijab doesn’t make me sinless. It doesn’t mean I pray enough, it doesn’t mean I’m a role model, it doesn’t mean I’m better than anyone. Wearing hijab is simply me submitting myself to Allah. It’s inevitable to stereotype but as a friend once said: Look what’s IN my head, rather than what’s ON my head."
“Islam is a way of life, try it. Islam is a gift, accept it. Islam is a journey, complete it. Islam is a struggle, fight for it. Islam is a goal, achieve it. Islam is an opportunity, take it. Islam is not for sinners, overcome it. Islam is not a game, don’t play with it. Islam is not a mystery, behold it. Islam is a promise, fulfill it. Islam is a duty, perform it. Islam is a treasure (the Prayer), pray it. Islam is a beautiful way of life, see it. Islam has a message for you, hear it. Islam is love , love it.”
