Muslim women, wake up. We still have time.

SOMAYYAH was educated in a convent and as a teenager worked as a model and in cocktail lounges. Growing up in Ireland and Britain, she tried drugs and liquor land supported alcoholic and sometimes abusive parents. Years later the 25 year old Irish woman moved to the Gulf Arab Emirate of Dubai where, through books loaned by friends, she learned about Islam.

“I would go to the beach in my bathing suit and listen to Qur’an on my Walkman,” she said.

“One day I was going to the beach in a taxi driven by a Pakistani who had Qur’an on the radio. I got there and put one foot on the ground to get out.

“Then I looked at the taxi driver and said: ‘No, take me back home.’ I couldn’t go to the beach and take my clothes off.”

Now Somayyah, a school teacher who adopted the name of Islam’s first female martyr, will not leave her flat without covering herself from head to toe in hijab. Since she converted her family has refused to see her. (Non muslims are realizing the true beauty of being covered whereas we born muslims are humiliating ourselves by uncovering more each day. WHAT A SHAME!)

Why is it so easy for converts to wear hijab and so hard for us muslim to wear it. They feel proud after wearing the hijab whereas we dont even want to be seen with someone who wears a hijab.Converts are ready to face anything after wearing the hijab because they love ALLAH, we say we love ALLAH but are not to going to cover for ALLAH. Is this double standards or what. Think about it.
