Wa alaikumusSalaam, dearest Sister
I wasn't sure if I was allowed to wear it to work but I just showed up with it on and the first day hardly anyone said anything to me about it, in fact hardly anyone came near me. Lol. But on day 2 they started asking questions and I answered them. Some people think it's "cool" while others feel there's a trust breach because they can't see my face. I nod and listen but constantly make dua inside for strength because people can be quite mean. But deciding to do it and going through with it I think is the hardest. After that it's really just maintenance.Allah swt bless you and keep you and reward you for your decision too. Aameen.

Diary of a Munaqabah
Day 1: Allahu Akbar! I am in Niqaab. I bought it today simply because I wanted to have this style of Niqaab as well as the one I already had at home. In the car I put it on and showed Hubby what I looked like. I kept it on until we got to the school to pick the kids up and he asked me to take i...

Diary of a Ninja
This past weekend, we decided to do our grocery shopping at a hypermarket quite a distance away from where we normally go, on account of their specials that were definitely worth the drive there. There are not many Muslims residing in that area, but there is a town close by... Continue reading

Extremist??? Or Muslim?
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah An age old question: what is it to be a Muslim? To submit to the will of Allah. To believe that there is no God but Allah and Nabi Muhammed s.a.w. is His final messenger. To know and understand that Allah is the greatest, none is,... Continue reading

Longing
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu Where we are at any given point in time is usually a stepping stone to where we want to be. We go through life hoping to find something. We enjoy having something "still to come". For a hungry child living on the street it... Continue reading
