sharing with u all

[ummu thany]

I am a Muslim woman
Feel free to ask me why
When I walk
I walk with dignity

When I speak
I do not lie
I am a Muslim woman
Not all of me you'll see

But what you should appreciate
Is that the choice I make is free
I'm not plagued with depression
I'm neither cheated nor abused

I don't envy other women
And I'm certainly not confused
Note, I speak perfect English
Et un petit peu de Francais aussie

I'm majoring in Linguistics
So you need not speak slowly
I run my own small business
Every cent I earn is mine

I drive my Chevy to school & work
And no, that's not a crime!
You often stare as I walk by
You don't understand my veil

But peace and power I have found
As I am equal to any male!

I am a Muslim woman
So please don't pity me
For God has guided me to truth

And now I'm finally free!​

Assalamu Alaikum

MashaAllah beautiful poem speaks for almost all Muslimahs...AlhamduliAllah

Allah hafiz NOW and ALWAYS

 

[BinKhadija]

Masha'Allah, WONDERFUL poem. Answers many general questions which arise in those individuals' minds who haven't met an actual Muslimah in person.

And, those who say that Muslim women are "oppressed" they just repeat what they are taught by their preacher or they heard on TV and so on.
