Hey! It's my alternate tumblr account. more personal posts are reflected on my primary account.

Every Muslim woman must empower and teach herself these things:
- No one has authority over you but Allah. You have duties and obligations towards specific niches that exist in your life, but you surrender to no one but Allah.
- find a man that you feel is right for you and don’t settle for anything less. A wise person once told me to never marry for the sake of marriage, and I am passing on these wise words onto you. Be engaged in Islamic partnership with a man who will treat you right, motivate you to be who you wish to be, and has faith in Allah.
- be proud of yourself and your femininity. Do not apologize for who you are and how Allah created you, and the power of choice Allah has bestowed on you as well.
- empower your intellect. Choose a subject that you love and go for it. Do what you must to rise above judments and stereotypical behavior, and attend school. You have the school of the mind, where you potentially teach yourself everything you want to know, or the typical school. Either way, find your comfort zone and LEARN.
And most importantly, never forget who Allah is!
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything … all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” — Steve Jobs, RIP

“You will not be asked about your culture in your grave
And you will not be judged based on your father’s last name
When the trumpet blares, there will be no more kings’ only slaves
And your family traditions will not be able to keep you safe
Your language will bring you no comfort on that day
And no one will care about the kind of food your mother used to make
The angle of death does not discriminate
No matter your ethnic group, clan or race
We were created from the exact same clay”
