I am a Muslim woman

muslim sis · May 8, 2003

I am a Muslim woman

Feel free to ask me why

When I walk,

I walk with dignity

When I speak

I do not lie

I am a Muslim woman

Not all of me you'll see

But what you should appreciate

Is that the choice I make is free

I'm not plagued with depression

I'm neither cheated nor abused

I don't envy other women

And I'm certainly not confused

Note, I speak perfect English

Et un petit peu de Francais aussi

I'm majoring in Linguistics

So you need not speak slowly

I run my own small business

Every cent I earn is mine

I drive my Chevy to school & work

And no, that's not a crime!

You often stare as I walk by

You don't understand my veil

But peace and power I have found

As I am equal to any male!

I am a Muslim woman

So please don't pity me

For God has guided me to truth

And now I'm finally free!

"You often stare as I walk by

But peace and power I have found

As I am equal to any male!"

Asalaama Calaykum Wa rahmtullaahi Wa barakaatu///

I'm here to share with you A nice poem about Muslim Sister's .. here It comes.

Thanks I will show,

to gratefully let you know,

how good a friend you've been to me.

Made in near perfection,

so in words I show affection,

to the one who helped set my faith free.

How to describe,

such a one as you?

who held out a helping hand,

and helped me find what is true.

To have shown,

one who's never known,

how to live purely, such a one is she.

Shows one kind,

to help one faith-blind,

for the first time to be able to truly see!

Best wishes to you,

soon to be connected,

to a soul-mate true,

a man who has in him your goodness reflected!

Now to happiness you go,

but before I must let you know,

although I feared this day,

I knew it was always eventually coming,

and to your love you would be running,

so I am happy for you and face it with little dismay.

So please accept,

I would like to give a hearty cheer,

to one who will soon be overseas but not forgotten,

Riffat our friendship I will always hold dear.

SaLaaMz,

MashaALLah girLs-superb.

Here is a LittLe something i found:

You wonder what my shade is,

What it represents.

Call me anything;

An extremist, a fundamentalist,

Anything you desire.

I don't care.

My shade is

My protection

from this evil world,

from roaming eyes,

from diseased hearts.

Call me anything;

Vain or

Submissive.

don't care.

My shade is

My Protection

of my beauty,

reserved for one

special gift

that God has given me;

My Life Partner.

This world

is but a fleeting moment

about to end

at Any Time.

The Signs are here.

The Day of Judgement is coming.

No one will enter my grave with me except

My body, my heart, my soul.

Call me a pessimist,

Distressed,

Repressed,

Oppressed,

I don't care.

My shade

Covers me

Like a tree from the sun;

Like a coat of wax

on your shiny new sportscar.

My shade

My protection,

is my Khimaar,

I am a woman of Islaam

thanks muslim sis for sharing it with us

one of my fav peoms

The Scarf

By: Nura Alia Hossainzadeh

They stand there with shorts, so short, excessively short,

shorts that so deceptively capture from them all they know

of modesty...
