Anonymous asked: Hello :) I found you randomly through instagram and I just had to tell you that you are so stunning and radiant masha Allah. Your style is amazing and you inspired me to seriously contemplate hijab so, thank you. Have a great day! xx

You are far too sweet, jazakallahu khair. As you may know, I’ve only been wearing hijab for a couple of year, alhamdulilah, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. If you ever want to talk, please feel free to reach out inshallah! May Allah swt send you nothing but love, guidance, and khair. Ameen!

THISSSSSSS—> “And so I ask you to unlearn. I ask you to stand up and tell the world that you are a slave to nothing—not to fashion, not to beauty, not to men. You are a slave to God and God alone. I ask you to tell the world that you’re not here to please men with your body; You’re here to please God. So to those who mean well and wish to ‘liberate’ you, just smile and say: “Thanks, but no thanks.”

Tell them you’re not here to be on display. And your body is not for public consumption. Make sure the world knows that you will never be reduced to an object, or a pair of legs to sell shoes. You are a soul, a mind, a servant of God. And your worth is defined by the beauty of that soul, that heart, that moral character. So, you don’t worship their beauty standards; you don’t submit to their fashion sense. Your submission is to something higher.” -Yasmin Mogahed

So I heard a song the other day that objectified women in every way…the feminists are probably still rolling in their graves. They reduce people to parts, objects to be acquired and turn hearts and minds into mere things to be desired. And as parts of my body were assessed and sized, I thought, what a way to be dehumanized.

Anonymous asked: Where do you get your strength, your faith or tawakul when your Iman hits a low?

Salaams,

First and foremost when I feel like I’m hitting rock bottom I turn to God in prayer. I make duas in sujood because that is when we are closest to Allah swt. I don’t know why, but I normally don’t like to talk about it with other people. I try to listen to some lectures, or often I listen to spoken word by Boonaa and that usually makes me feel a little closer to God. Another good thing to do is to try and surround yourself with pious, righteous people. Being amongst people like that usually have such an awesome affect on a person’s mood, and being in those types of gathering bring peace to one’s heart.

Just remember that our imaan is like a roller coaster and we all go through our ups and downs. The most important thing is to always turn to Him for guidance, because He is the only one that can help.

I’m sorry if that wasn’t very beneficial and I apologize if I’m replying really late but I hadn’t received a notification about this message.

Inshallah you are feeling better now :)
