When I Covered My Head, I opened my mind!

I am grateful to Allah that He allowed me to recognize that when I covered my head, I was taking away from people any means for judging me other than my mind, my soul and my heart. When I covered my head, I took away the incentive for exploitation based on beauty. When I covered my head, I made people respect me because they saw that I respected myself, and when I covered my head, I finally opened my mind to the truth.
Teach, Don't Preach
One of the factors which attracted me to this great the deen and made me want to learn more and not only be a muslim BY name is the fact that so much of it can be understood based on logic and reason. that is why I feel that many Muslims parents do themselves a great disservice by not explaining more to their children. The old, "Because I say so...", or because you are an Arab, Pakistani, Somali, (fill in your cultural preference)..." never has worked and never will work. Human beings have a natural desire to understand what they do and why they do it, that is why Islam is such a great religion, because it satisfies all of our basic intellectual and emotional needs; it does this simply because it is the truth, and the truth is always easy to understand and defend.

That is very beautiful indeed!

Kheyr Allah na wada siiyo my dear sister.

It is a great honour to be hated or discriminated against for the sake of Allah. If you get funny looks or comments because of your hijab or niqab, say Alxamdullillah. Oh Allah, they are hating me for your sake.
