ISLAM IS KINDNESS

CELEBRITIES IN HIJAB?

Haha I literally spit out the water I was drinking when I saw this. Its amazing what people come up with when photoshopping pictures. I gotta say though, they look really nice with a hijab on! :D

SYRIA: BEFORE & AFTER

Wow! I came upon this picture and it completely baffled me. A beautiful country that became completely destroyed within 3 years. May Allah make it easy for the people of Syria. Ameen.

DID YOU KNOW?

In Islam, we don't discriminate, regardless of religion. Our religion teaches us respect and tolerance. This is evident through the actions of the Prophet Muhammed (may the peace and blessing be upon him).

Good Food = Good Day

So my beautiful mama insisted that I visit this restaurant that just opened and obviously I couldn't decline because there was going to be food..duh! But lets just say, they had some awesome tasting food. Here's a little preview of what I ate. Isn't it visually appealing too?

There was some delicious dessert too but I totally forgot to take a picture. All my mind was telling me to do was to eat, eat,eat haha.

Qoute of the Day

Future?

I've been asked by so many friends and relatives "Which university are you going to go to?","What are you going to do?", "Are you going to follow you're sister?", "When are you going to get married?". These questions are so overwhelming because I don't know what I want to do in the future. I still have a whole year and half until I go to university and marriage is definitely happening any sooner. My sister attends a university in Egypt getting a BA in Islamic studies and although I love my religion and do want learn it in a much further depth, its definitely not something I want to be doing for 4 years. I guess I'll know what I what I want too do next year. -fingers crossed-

Inspiration of the Day!

"Hey, were you forced to cover your hair?"

From reading my title, you can probably tell what I'll be talking about. I'll be talking about hijab or in other words the "veil". The literal meaning of hijab is to veil, to cover, or to screen. I always get questioned by many curious people on why I wear a hijab and if I was forced to do so. Firstly, stop taking movies seriously. They're are not true and is not in any way, consistent to every Muslim women.There may be a few people who were forced to do so but this is not according to Islam. In the Quran, it says there is no compulsion in Islam (2:256). Meaning if you don't want do something, we won't force you to do it. The majority of Muslim women wear hijab because they chose to. Big difference hm?

Now answering the question "Why do you wear hijab?". Its very simple. There are five main reasons.

1.  Our Lord, Allah, legislated that all the believing women to wear a headscarf.
2 We believe that our beauty should only be seen by our husbands. Not every man who walks by you.
3. It frees Muslim women from being seen as a sexual object and instead being valued by our character not our appearance.
4.  Its a source of protection from sexual harassment.
5. It gives us, as women, a sense of liberty. The fact that we don't have to conform to the latest fashions around us and choose what we want to wear make us feel independent.


Hopefully this cleared up you're questions about Hijab and why we wear it. Stay tuned for the next post!

Hello fellow bloggers!

Yaaay! So this is my first post for my first blog and I'm very excited. As some of you may be wondering..why did I make this blog? Well, first and foremost, its because I love writing. Alot. And I've wanted to start a blog for so long but I've been busy..ok I've been really lazy *sigh*. But now, I've finally decided to start.

The second reason I made this blog is to clear misconceptions about Islam and Muslims. There are many people who are uneducated and unaware of Islam and what it means. Words like Hijab, Jihad, Terrorism ect trigger a fear and hate in many people because of what the media (which is made up of 99% lies) has told them. I am here to clear them up and show people what Islam really means.

The third reason is to just ramble about things like fashion,food, makeup, school ect. Lets just say my blog will be pretty much about everything with a little more focus on Islam.

Feel free to comment and express you're views. I won't judge or bite.
