he is excellent in photoshop and he surpised me with this photo.
I love this song and it reminds me of the problems I had here in
USA and also in Egypt while wearing the scarf.

I no longer wear it here in USA..

FREE

What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me

My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care

So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity…

My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see…
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
And all I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?

For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:

But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

Salaams,
Fatimah

  7. To wear the Hijsb and notice it upon yourself then you wear it for the wrong reasons .Wear it with pride then when its put upon the head it moulds with in you and they only see it but you dont WHY ??because you are the hijab its yours and yours only it then becomes a heart beat with every motion you do and every kalma you preside in and your path to The one and only ALLAH who loves you with or with out it .But dont look at it as an extra cloth you wear bless and kiss it and put it upon you and it becomes you and its your beauty but with out revealing and its beauty too without seeing you only you see the beauty .

  16. I am a MuslimThe rose is my QeblehThe spring my prayer-carpetThe light, my prayer stoneThe field my prostrate placeI take ablution with the heartbeat of windowsMoon flows into my prayer, gently it flowsThe rock is visible from behind my prayerAll particles of my prayer are illuminatedI pray when the wind calls for prayerFrom the cypress tree’s minaretI practice my ritual when weeds say God is GreaterWhen wave raises…..hi zeyna this picture remember me this poem , you make a great page http://www.sohrabsepehri.com/poems.asp?status=showpoem&language=e&poemid=99

Wake up!have a meal,a simple glass of water!Before the first light,before you begin the fast,make the intentionWake up! Wake up!And the day progresses, a slowing down;restaurants closed, coffee houses empty.And workers begin their trek home earlyLate afternoon, the speciality stores openselling the special once a year snacks,crowds flocking and moving hurriedlycollecting their Iftar (break fast)And mothers prepare the traditional mealstaking extra timefor the fasting familyOnly an hour before the sun setscity streets empty,as in a curfew,And now only a few minutes,family and friends gather around the tablemaking small talkawaiting the moment…silence…Allah-hu AkbarAllah-hu AkbarAllah-hu AkbarAllah-hu Akbar(God is great)Ash-hadu an la illaha illal-lahAsh-hadu an la illaha illal-lah(I witness that there is no God except Allah)Ash-hadu anna Mohammadan rasoolol lahAsh-hadu anna Mohammadan rasoolol lah(I witness that Mohammad is the Prophet of Allah)Hay-ye alas-slatHay-ye alas-slat(Hurry up for prayer)Hay-ye alal falahHay-ye alal falah(Hurry up for prosperity)Allah-hu AkbarAllah-hu AkbarLa illaha illal-lahLa illaha illal-lah(There is no God except Allah)And the siren, signalling the sun dipping below the horizonAnd together, some with dates, some with a pinch of salt”We take this food in the name of Allah, most gracious, ever merciful”Prayers givenand later friends and familymill around, some contentothers tired, but all happyon this day of Ramadan…Peace:heart:
