MUSLIMA

A conversation between 2 friends; I’m not sure whether the one whose asking the questions is a Muslim.

Why do you wear that horrible scarf?!
It’s because of my faith. And I don’t believe that women should be exploited.

You have a bachelor’s in mathematics. You should have a career.
I do have one and my education has helped me prepare for it. I am a mother and I’m raising three children.

I meant something useful, something where you could earn money!

What is of greater value than love? You can’t see it or measure it, but it grows, inside yourself and between you and those you love.

But if you worked, you would be more independent financially.
I am working very hard and my husband gives me 10% of his take-home salary to use as I wish. He also pays for a housekeeper that comes twice a week.

If you had a paying job, you wouldn’t have to depend upon his generosity.

That money is mine! It and the maid are part of our marriage agreement. Even though I love my children and my home, my efforts are valuable and I deserve what we agreed on.

But if you had more money, you could do more. You could travel more often.

My goal in life is not Europe :jumpclap::jumpclap::jumpclap:
