Sisters of the Deen

People think us sisters are repressed, they say this about the way we are dressed.  We 
inspire to be clean, steadfast in our deen

They make fun of the hijab and jilbab.  They say we are wrong.  Islam is not a bad religion.  
Its a had full of people who are.

People say muslim woman are repressed.  We have a right to love, have fun and be 
educated.  We smile, pray and love our families.

Is this so wrong? what crime have I committed?
Just because i am a muslim.

You have committed no crime. You are actually walking through a path of bright light :) Islam is a deen of beauty and wonder. Thanks for sharing, TYOne, Farah
