I sent you an email.<BR/><BR/>ThesouthAfricanexperience,<BR/>Waleikum Salam..Thank you so much for your message and for stopping by! I will check your blogs, they all sound interesting.... I am also the only woman wearing the hijab in my family and I hope that will change some day. I pray for Allah to make it easy for my sister and mother to start covering inshallah. And yes, them too thought I was becoming radical when I started wearing it but they have come to accept it and admire me for it. And you're right, it is a good way to sprad the deen! I will make sure to stop by your islaminAfrica blog and can't wait to read more about you. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Ma salaama.<BR/><BR/>Muslimahh,<BR/>You are so right! the way we behave will be how people perceive Islam so lets try to give them a positive image of this great religion inshallah.Hijabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836531883103332127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662395393310470258.post-47777748788733955192008-10-20T11:04:00.000-04:002008-10-20T11:04:00.000-04:00We as hijabis have to remember that we are the fac...We as hijabis have to remember that we are the face of Islam in the US alhamdulilah!! When people see us it is obvious we are Muslims. We should try extra hard to relay what Islam is through our everyday actions inshallah.

B/c like you I am a young African woman who embraced the hijab [dec. 2005] and who is working full time. Some of the issues you mentionned [dress code, dawah, etc.] are very pertinent to my life and it is refreshing to read that. I don't know about you but I am the only woman in my entire family who wears the hijab and though my family had a fit at first b/c they thought I was becoming 'radical', they know accept it and even encourage me by buying me scarves for eg or by defending me. This is a powerful way of making dawah b/c everyone asks, why? Both Muslims and non Muslims and it is a greta avenue to spread the deen.<BR/>Isn't it great to be able to have the best of both worlds? Submitting to Allah to the best of our ability AND trying to change things in this dunya. I truly wish you the best and I will be following your blog. By the way, I'm starting an intiative called IslaminAfrica, IslaminAfrica.blogspot.com where I attempt to give Africa's perspective of living Islam, the good and the not so good. Please feel free to comment and contribute if you wish to.<BR/>Wasalaam,<BR/>Your sister.Y.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04808302138987088468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662395393310470258.post-56860224215554479872008-10-18T15:31:00.000-04:002008-10-18T15:31:00.000-04:00Hello sista jspr que ca vaI am tagging you in want...Hello sista jspr que ca va<BR/>I am tagging you in wanting into finding out who are you 3 African women who make you want to better woman one ca be non african.....<BR/>let me know my email is <BR/>yayemarie2226@yahoo.com<BR/>and ill post it<BR/>have a great weekend <BR/>yayeYayemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930431992598228126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662395393310470258.post-77743692779596161402008-10-17T13:47:00.000-04:002008-10-17T13:47:00.000-04:00I have had many discussions about Islam and people...I have had many discussions about Islam and people's prejudices with many people.

I've never had any religious conversations about islam either with my friends. <BR/>When I was growing up, Islam was mostly imposed on us, but it was never a conversation, mostly like you need to do this and that...<BR/><BR/>on that question: what did you tell to your non-Muslim neighbor, friend, family member about Me? <BR/><BR/>I am guilty!!<BR/>Next time, I'll try to share my knowledge...Aminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706836513100830763noreply@blogger.com
