wake before dawn. No muadhin calls me, No footsteps stir me, Instead society spurns me, Labels me and burns me. But everyday, I wake before dawn.
I wear my hijab. No father threatens me, No religious police warn me, Instead society judges me Mocks me and shuns me. But everyday, I wear my hijab.
I rear my children. No family pressures me, No work barriers limit me, Instead society shames me, Names me and blames me. But everyday, I rear my children.
I follow the Sunnah. No culture defines me, No history holds me, Instead, society scolds me, Re-makes and moulds me. But every day, I follow the Sunnah.
I strive for Paradise. No teachers indoctrinate me, No worldly hardships sedate me, Instead society rejects me, Tempts me and affects me. But every day, I strive for Paradise.
I worship my Lord. No imam compels me, No rules force my heart, Instead, society fears me, And dares not come near me. But every day, I worship my Lord.
Every day, In every way, Through hardship and strife And the all-consuming, O so fleeting, Bitter sweetness of life, I worship my Lord.
this is one of my favourite poems just wanted to share it you all
