		<description>The sad part was the sister with the Niqaab had a good way to present the Naseehah, BY OFFERING ALTERNATIVES!! she wrote down ideas like playing anasheed instead of Music or having seperate potluck dinners instead of a super-socializing event with both genders.... SubhanAllah... I loved that story, so well written masha&#039;Allah.&lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-14599&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>oh and the MSA, subhan-Allah.. i have no comment but if they actually did this to you, than why do they even consider them-selves good musliums who are trying to give da3waha?????????
i havent been to the misjid yet but i did receive an email from one good freind congratliting me, but tomo is friday and i usually go to the lectures on friday night so inshallah i wouldnt be judged by comments like&quot; you dont have to wear it, your in America OMG?&quot; 
btw, on my second day of wearing the niqab, after i parked my car in the garage, a muslium sister actually parked next to me, subhan-Allah and we both got out of our car the same time, and we know each other,, so i was like 
Salam 3alukm,, she didnt recognize my voice, 
its me Rahma, 
Who? 
Rahma,
oh.....really, when did u wear the niqab? you kno you dont have too 
i started to smile,,,, but i do,,i wanted too. 
ok see you around 
....
subhan allah, she didnt have the guts to walk with me and both of our classes were next to each other wallahi.. 
i felt so bad because shes muslim, and wearing the Hijab. its not even conservative clothing but inshallah may allah direct her to the right path... 
but i do see your point of how we musliums can discourage each other but trust me, ther is still good peopel out there who will support you.... 

i just wanted to share this with the sisters here... 
Im new with Niqab... but i want to keep it on...&lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-14257&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Alsalamu- 3alukm,,

I hope that things will be easier for you Inshallah...I just started wearing the niqab four days ago actually and 7amdiallah its been GREAT!!, though the first day i was so nervous when i went to campus but than I did iztghfar and I straighned my shoulders and walked proudly. when i first entered the building, i saw bunch of students sitting outside waiting to enter the class, and my class was on the side where they were sitting so i walked the oppsite direction , then i thought to my self, look at all these girls wearing shorts and tank-tops because they choose to wear this, and I choose to waer the Niqab because i choose it after taking into consideration what the quran and Mohammed SAW said. I love wearing Niqab, i think its beautiful.........may allah direct me in the right path and help all the sisters that are struggling and make their faith stronger. BE proud of Niqab :)&lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-14256&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>actually although the Niqab in Islam exists, but it was only for the wife&#039;s of our prophet not any women just wear it... unless she is so beautiful to seduce other men with her beauty.. 

but it&#039;s not the point, the point is sadly the media now photograph that any muslim wearing the niqab is a terrorist... and so everyone is afraid from dealing with them.. and youth just make jokes.. 
i myself was walking in the streets in a small town in Sweden, and found a women wearing the Niqab, it was the first time for me to see a muslim so what about that... later girls were talking and they said when this women walk around the mall she creeps everyone inside... even babies cry... 

Look my dear.. i&#039;m no saying to take it off.. but i see that it&#039;s not that essential... not that necessary... Hijab is also good way to show that u r muslim.. i agree with u when it comes to other things regarding movies and stuff like this... 

but sometimes u have to look around and take into consideration the world around u and how they will understand such act from u and react to it....&lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-12544&quot;&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Assalaamualaikum warahmatullah

I really enoyed reading the story and cant wait to read the rest. I love all yor novels and I am waiting for the next book. I never so such a good writer. I am trying to be one one day. I think giving dawah is a challenging job and needs a lot of patience(صبر). I am doing dawah now and pray for me. I always wanted to be a daiyah. I am asking all of my sisters to make duaa for me. I love you all.&lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-2960&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>As salaamu alaiykum,

Wonderful piece. MashaAllah!

I&#039;ve been on both sides of the table with this issue.

I must say, it is much easier to give dawah to my children! *smiles*  I commend those of us who struggle to maintain balance while giving dawah to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.&lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-2887&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
