As salamu alaykum,

I think the way she was wearing the "hijaab" wasn't that good...so better take it off and wear it again once she is stronger in Imaan... :inshallah:

May Allah guide her :inshallah:

Salaam,

One thank you for the post.

Two, I was distrubed by a poll on the site. The poll asked if Muslims think they are being singled out by law enforcement in the US. Over 62% of the voters feel they are not. Let me pinch myself.
Once again my mind is spinning. How can that be. We have political prisoners locked up, we can't even get on a train without having to have the imprints of our mother's maiden name on our ying-yang.
This weekend I was involved in a thread which went to the core of my being. We were discussing the role of Muslims and our responisbility and jihad. Now, I come arcoss this pablum. Unless, we can agree that as long as one Muslim is being treated unfairly we all are..we are going to remain in the same doldrums. Allah forgive me.
