Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever has not kindness has not faith. -Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
To overcome evil with good is good, to resist evil by evil is evil. -Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) Being a Muslim, I feel that because of how the media is portraying Islam, I have to defend it any chance I get. Therefore, I think my Wednesday Wisdom posts are a great time to show what true Islam is really about. I am going to try and use quotes from the Holy Quran or the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as much as I can especially these days. I really want people to know that Islam is a religion of peace and not violence (as it is so often depicted.)
Continuing with the mosque (house of worship) theme this week, I felt the following quote from the Holy Quran was appropriate: Verily, it is in the remembrance of God that hearts can find comfort. -Holy Quran 13:29 As most people, including myself, when going through hardships in life, turn to family and friends for advice and peace of mind. And for me and probably most of you, it feels good to know that there are people we can count on and who will always be there for us no matter what.

There is in fact something about presenting myself before God that is truly comforting. It is not only in actual prayer that we can find relief, but in remembering Him continuously throughout the day and being grateful…
It’s about time that I share one of the most epic international trips I did a few years back in 2010.

I had been planning on going for several years, but having traditional Pakistani parents it was almost impossible to get permission to go. After trying to convince them for two years, my mom finally agreed and convinced my dad to let me go as a graduation present.What helped was that I had made a really good friend who was from the UAE. Her father still lived there so we would be going and staying at his apartment. This trip was like a dream (#blessed). It was the first time I was going somewhere internationally with a…
It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone. -Hans F. Hansen I remembered a conversation I recently had about my hijab. I was talking to someone about how difficult it has been finding a job lately and they asked me if I thought it was because I wore a hijab. I told her that I would not have thought that a few years ago, but right now I do feel like that sometimes (due to all the Islamophobia). She then asked me if I would consider taking it off for job purposes. I responded by saying I would not because I don’t really know who I am without it. The hijab defines me and I have been wearing it most of my adult life. I don’t feel that I need to take it off to get something. I know I am not alone in wearing one, but…
