Finding these opportunities are my guilty pleasure! Sister posing like shes dropping bars 🙌🏿 shes saying:
Go kill their ego with kindness
Challenge their stereotypes with class
Agitate their demons with your positive attitude

I was asked once by a Canadian lady in a Multi -faith event lead by women of faith:
"If hijab is about modesty and taking away attention from women, doesn't the wearing of hijab in the west contradict it's principles?"
The answer to this question is multifaceted.

Violent street attacks, institutional racism, and pervasive media bias - the UK's Islamophobia is getting worse every day. The latest redfish investigation speaks to the UK's Muslims who are forever spoken about but not listened to.

1- Allah has commanded believing women to wear hijab as an identity - we SHOULD stand out as Muslim women. Within hijab there is a sisterhood. It is an act of love for myself and other sisters who find strength in seeing me wear it, just as i do when i see them.

2- Women in all corners of the world have worn the veil at one stage in their spiritual or cultural practice. Where others have adapted the veil or withdrawn from it completely is their choice- as this footage shows, just like the maintaining of our hijab is ours.

@Whatapict
I actually think it’s a very good answer. The bigger picture is that humans love making decisions for other humans who they perceive to be weaker than them. Abuse of power and privilege seems like a good thing to address.

This is all too common. People of faith and colour are shamed and made to feel backward.
If those of faith don't establish clear boundaries for their practice, their safe space to practice will constantly be limited. This includes our minds.
