LIFESTYLE OF A MUSLIMAH

I am a woman [by: Lawal Halimah Oyindamola] So what? I get into an argument with a man. He slaps me. I feel the pain. Yet they tell me I provoked him. I get into an argument with a man. I slap him. They tell me I have no respect. Like I don't have a right to be angry........ So, my level of respect for people is judged by my degree of silence in the face of brutality..... Because I am a woman. So what? I am not allowed to show anger. I must sit with my legs stretched out even if it hurts. I must not talk 'anyhow'. Because I am a woman. My husband or "boyfriend" cheats on me, I am told to tolerate it......to save my marriage or relationship as the case maybe. Society making the barbaric and stupid excuse that ''it is in their nature to cheat'' I cheat....and I am called a whore, if we are married i am sent packing with my obese tinker box on my head and my little one still suckling my left nipple. Three years later......little one is...

Quote from the Holy Quran, At-Taghaabun (64:16) فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ وَأَنفِقُوا۟ خَيْرًا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ ۗ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ Faittaqoo Allaha ma istataAAtum waismaAAoo waateeAAoo waanfiqoo khayran lianfusikum waman yooqa shuhha nafsihi faolaika humu almuflihoona "So fear Allah as much as you are able and listen and obey and spend [in the way of Allah]; it is better for your selves. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful."
