Salaam aleykum,
It seems like only yesterday that I was simply dreaming about the day that I would become a full-time hijabi. Now that day is so, SO close (inshAllah). I don't have a set date yet, but inshAllah it will be either the 17th, 18th, or 19th of May.
Finally, everything is falling into place. Al7amdullilah.
Until next time,
Zahra

We will not be moved.
Asalaam aleykum/Peace be with you,
The recent tragedy in Boston has led many Muslims to once again speak out against the false association between terrorism and Islam. We're jumping on that bandwagon as well. Islam is all over the news once again and violence toward Muslims is skyrocketing all over the nation. We call upon Americans and people around the world to educate themselves about Islam and learn that Islam literally means "peace."
I don't know how many times anyone has to say that ISLAM DOES NOT PREACH TERRORISM! In fact, the Holy Qur'an states that "whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely." (Qur'an 5:32). It also has a commandment to obey the laws of our host government (so long as it doesn't go against our religion).
We did not turn to Islam because of the violence and horror that we saw on the news. We didn't become Muslims so we could have a good excuse to run through the streets screaming "Death to America!" No, in fact, it was the peace and joy that it brought into our lives that made us Muslims. It was the respect that is demanded of us to others and of others to us. It was the love that our dear Prophet ﷺ had for Allah that made us want to love Allah as much as he ﷺ did.
To those of you who continue to choose to terrorize undeserving Muslims, we want to make this clear:
We will not be afraid.
Our faith will not waiver.
Allah (God) will keep us strong.
Until next time,
N&Z
