May Allah always keep our hearts pure and on the straight path

May Allah always keep our hearts pure and on the straight path.

نسأل الله أن يجعل قلوبنا نقيه صافيه و على الصراط المستقيم

Everyone turns to Islam as way of life by conviction – not by force or for anyone. As a Muslim woman I would like to say that Islam has liberated woman n many ways. Most Americans see Muslim women as an oppressed lot, but would like them to know that if Muslim women are oppressed, it's because they forsake the true Islam and follow their country's cultural practices. Islam throws away all the garbage that keeps women down and lifts them up to a status of self-respect and confidence.

Most American women feel that they are the most liberated women on earth, but they are not really relieved from the bonds of oppression. Anyone who has to have a perfect body for fear of rejection, anyone who has to reveal their bodies to receive so-called "attention" anyone who gets paid less for equal work versus a male counterpart, anyone in those categories s still oppressed, and the only solution is to throw the chains of bondage away and accept God and Islam in their life.

The Muslim woman is not oppressed and our cover( hijab) is our right, not a punishment. We consider the Western way of life a step backward not forward. The Middle Eastern women may see the so-called glamour of American Western lifestyle because their country practices culture and not Islam. If Islam was really practiced in the countries of Eastern sisters, Western ( females) would be fighting for Islamic rights.
