Memoirs of a Hijabi |
I will not change who I am to please the likes of others, or because I for some reason make them feel bad for who they are just by merely being who I am. I try to be an honest person and a sincere person. I enjoy to see others happy, I hate people who can not honor their word. I respect those who forgive and stand up for what is right. I like to think that I am perfectly capable of doing anything regradless of my size and stature (with the help of Allah of course). I hate those who compromise themselves. I hate excuses, they are an ignorant mans weapon. I hate people who blindly follow. I love people who know that everything that we do on this earth whether it be an academic education or working in general is what we do to live. On the same note i love people who understand that we do NOT live for our work. I think that people should realize that life is temporary and that we are accountable for everything we do, down to an atoms weight. I think that strength is when you take the hard route, the path for those with courage. I do not want the material things that others have, I want and appreciate what I have. I will not live up to the expectations of others and I do not expect others to live up to mine. I am a stranger in a world of familiar faces and when the time comes only a few will understand this. To think for oneself is not a burden it is a luxury that is often unnoticed. ~me |

When you accept the fact that nothing and no one is beneath you, then you will see that only Allah is “The Most High” and you will never be elevated, unless Allah deems it so. And no one is better than another except through piety and those who keep their tongues & hearts wet with Zikhr (The Remembrance of Allah)

“They took us inside and told us to gather in the corner of the room. A man started shooting in the air so we all hid behind my mother. We were about 15 people. Then they opened fire. After they shot us they started to step on us, and one of the men asked the other to check whether we were all dead. Then they went outside and started shooting in the air. We were eight siblings, including myself, and my sister-in-law and her son - she was also six months pregnant. With us as well were my father, my uncle’s wife and her daughter, as well as our neighbour and her three kids. My aunt and her two daughters - one of them was only injured and she’s here with me - she is one month old, the other one died. We were all in the house. I survived with my mother and the one-month-old girl and my sister. They shot at us but we survived. What’s going to happen to us?”
There were 100 houses in the neighbourhood, they killed everyone inside. They went into people’s houses and opened fire and killed them all.

Ya Rabbi, have mercy on my Syrian brothers and sisters and all those suffering throughout the world, insha Allah Ameen.
