Hijab , the War over Wardrobes

 Normally I don't write on controversial topics. 

Hundred years from now people will read history books of   this time frame and be like, What is going on here in this time . It is so confusing ,In one part of the world there is the restriction placed on education due to harsh incorrect interpretation of religious Laws. While in other parts where the same Law is followed women are in the forefront in terms of education. And in extreme contrast to both such cases here comes a group of self righteous individuals claiming that the hijab should come off if she wants education. 


The Hijab is frowned upon citing claims of patriarchal societal origins and somewhere in all that a discussion of uniformity needed in school areas pops up.

This writing is not for the people of today but for that small girl (with hijab or without hijab) that will be  reading a history book quite confused on what was going on here.

Lil girl I know you will be thinking being a women in the 21st century was so hard. Someone always dictated what she was allowed to wear. But these  rare cases are only isolated to certain locations and it is not all gloomy. What a girl wears  has and always will be a topic of discussion, why that happens is quite mind boggling. But if you takeaway anything let it be this that , Although it looks gloomy we have Women leading countries, huge corporates, boxing, taking part in athletics with and without the Hijab

And although you may see media coverage from our time here portraying Hijab as something evil and oppressive you will have Women fighting for the rights to wear it.

It is what it is and being a proud son of a business women who ran a business in a foreign country learning a foreign language while still wearing a Hijab I can say without any doubt that Hijab is not oppressive nor is it a patriarchal symbol but it a beautiful , humble, modest symbol that has much deeper connection to tradition . End of the day please just stay out of peoples wardrobes ,let them wear what they want. And most importantly stop being oppressive let that Lil girl 100 years from now smile at what we have accomplished. Until next time Peace out Mike dropped

We All come in pieces stitched together

 Today I come forward with a blunt statement , it has nothing to do with any inspirational characters but all to do with an idea that I was most fortunate to have thought of and took the liberty to get that written down without wasting any time. Well, the thing is I feel we are who we are today because of all the things that have happened to us in the past. Example ,if you are a suspicious person it must be because you have been time and again been let down or had to interact with people that in some way may have betrayed /let you down in some way or the other right. Or if you are loving and caring you may have  been treated as such  Apologies if I sound a bit cliché in the next few lines just bear with me on this one for a second. In this life as we make our way through it we are put in situations or in connect with other similar travellers correct. And each person you interact with will effect you in some way or the other. And it is not necessary that all their interact...

Letter to unborn Child

 Hi there Kiddo, Before u are even born I am thinking about u. What will u look like. How can I love u before u even exist. I am worried about if I will ever be able to properly care for u. To take care of ur needs but those things are in the hands of our Creator Allah.  I know that I will sacrifice everything to care for u. Lil one, Blessed gift from our creator. I advise u and pray like Our Prophet’s Father prayed. That u worship none other than Allah steadfast and honesty. And i advise u like how Luqman advised his son that u worship none other than Allah. Be kind to people. Be humble. Speak softly don’t br arrogant. The wold has its share of arrogant ppl. Be patient in circumstances that test ur limit. You are strong you are powerful and a Slave of the Most Powerful. Recite the Quran dear make it ur companion and it will never leave ur side.
