Who is she behind her veil? An oppressed, sad lady following the cultural laws to survive? We see the whole world trying to help Muslim woman get out of the prison of hijab, right? If a woman wears her veil for the right reasons, it is completely a different story. She feels liberated, confident, comfortable, strong and happy. The happiness and comfort level increases as her love for her Lord increases, and how does that happen? Through knowledge. The only way we can improve ourselves is through knowledge, and gaining knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.   We have been hearing this word “Hijab” and the controversies revolving around it a lot recently. As Muslim women, we should know what exactly “The Hijab” is. Even if you are not a person who observes it, it is essential to know what it actually is. Many people give their definitions of hijab, of which some are funny, some baseless, and some pathetic. What does Islam teach us about hijab? Why do women wear a hijab? Is it a...

We all are given guidance everyday in different forms whether it be a status on facebook, a video on watsapp, a message on twitter or simply a picture on tumblr. Even if we do not have many friends who are not spiritually rich still we come across these messages may be through a friend’s friend or shared on a family group on watsapp. I guess most of you all are nodding head already. When we come across such good messages suddenly we hear a whisper ‘’Hey scroll down, it’s not for you’’ or may be in a more kind way ‘’No time right now, we will get back later to read these’’ Yes or No?? Our enemy knows how to tackle with each person and how to present things to distract and keep us away from getting close to Allah. Sometimes we tackle and find time to go seek knowledge but still hesitate to bring the slightest of change in our lives. We might have already gone through many parts of Quran, listened to lectures etc. but as if something missing somewhere, it is not benefiting us. Why is it t...

Our world has changed so much and there’s constant pressure on us to run with it. We are working hard to make a living but forget to live. We are so engrossed in this race that even worship turns mechanical sometimes. How then do we break this cycle of worldly engagements, and fix our priorities? Here are a few ways we can try to keep the spiritual side of ours alive and more active.. Being patient This isn’t as easy as it sounds. However, the best way to control our frustration during trials is to feel blessed. If we try to imagine the state of those people who are suffering all over the world, and who are in a worse position than us, we will be more grateful and content. The Prophet    ﷺ   said: “Look to those below you and not to those above, as it is more suitable to remember the blessings of Allah granted to you.” (Bukhari & Muslim) Expressing Gratitude We should never think twice to say thank you to our spouses, parents and immedia...

Bismillah My journey so far as a mother is compelling me to write a few words about the strongest bond ever named ‘’MOTHERHOOD’’. Well going back to my past, when I was about to get married even I had dreamt a lot about being a mother but then I think I was too immature because for me it was just an emotional feeling mixed with joy, pain of labor, making your husband a proud father and getting a new doll to play with. I never realized how big a responsibility Motherhood is until I really did experience. I guess it’s somewhat same for all young mothers. My daughter is just 2, I know all mothers reading are thinking it’s not yet time for me to write about it. But trust me I have changed a lot and I want to share the feeling with all mothers and mothers to be. Before being a mother of course we are all so independent, we have time for household works, for browsing, for home facials, for chatting, for prayers and Quran, for shopping, for gatherings etc. The first day as a mother I r...
