“Sakeena would invite me to Islamic events, and her Facebook was full of Islamic reminders. All these caught my attention and brought me closer to Islam. Through her, I got to know other amazing sisters who motivated me into becoming a better Muslimah.”
“The people you spend time with really do play a part on how you end up as a person.”

“Traveling echoes the fact that our existence in Dunya is temporary, attachment to anything other than our faith in Allah wouldn’t therefore make any sense, whether it is a relationship, a job, a place or an object.

I’d pray just to avoid getting scolded, cover myself up and not befriend the opposite gender because it’s “disgraceful” and like “what will the neighbours say?”
