I am a Muslimah and I’m not oppressed

As a Muslimah I need to wear my hijab, to feel protected. As a Muslimah who wears her hijab, not as a sign of oppression but as a sign of liberation. As a Muslimah who wears a hijab not as  sign of oppression but as a sign of obedience to Allah subhana wa talah I am just stricken with so much anger, to read and see what hijab, Islam and women have become in the eyes of men. Rape is not about dress, legs, cleavage or sex is about control, humiliation. If I need to wear my hijab and not be rape I will do so as a sign of obedience to Allah talah,  even if I have to wear a paper bag over my head is ok.

Islam liberated me of all oppression, gave me the right to inherit, gave me the right to vote, gave me the right to work and keep my money and gave me the right to divorce. And all these wonderful things were given to me before American and European women knew what was to work,vote and inheritance. IN YOUR FACE!

Islam has done more for women than all the politicians in the world.  I’m liberated and as a  Muslimah I choose to wear hijab for honor and obedience to my Lord. 

The Eight Things that Nullify the Fast:

Fasting In a Nutshell

1. Sexual Intercourse: If it is done during the day in Ramadhaan, by someone who is obligated to fast then he has to make a great expiation along with making up that day. The expiation is to free a slave. If he can’t find one to free or is not capable, then he has to fast for two consecutive months. And if he not even capable of doing this, then he has to feed sixty poor people. 

2. Ejaculation while one is awake through masturbation, hugging, kissing, fondling, etc. 

3. Eating or drinking, whether the thing consumed is useful or harmful, like cigarettes. 

4. Injection of nourishment that may substitute for food, because it constitutes as consuming food and drink. But the injections that do not provide nourishment do not break the fast whether they are injected into the muscles or the veins; and whether the injected person finds its taste in his throat or not. 

5. Injection of blood (blood transfusion); for instance someone who loses blood and is injected with blood to replace the blood that was lost. 

6. Menstruation and postnatal bleeding. 

7. The extraction of blood by means of cupping (Hijaamah), and similar means. 

However, if blood comes out, by itself, such as nasal bleeding or tooth extraction, and 

likewise, then this does not break the fast; for this is neither cupping nor implied in its 

meaning. 

8. Deliberately vomiting. If it is unintentional, it does not break the fast. 

Some Points of Benefit: 

1/ It is permissible for the fasting person to intend to fast, while being in a state of 

Janaabah (sexual impurity) and then he may purify himself by making ghusl after the break of dawn. 

2/ If a woman, in Ramadhaan, becomes clean and free of her menses or post-natal 

bleeding before the break of dawn, she must fast, even if she doesn’t take a ghusl

, until after dawn. 

3/ It is permissible for the one who is observing the fast to have his wisdom tooth or 

other teeth extracted, and to treat his wound, and to use nose or eye drops. And this 

will not break his fast even if he senses the taste of the drops in his throat. 

4/ It is permissible for him who is observing the fast to clean his teeth with a miswaak at the beginning of the day and at the end of it. This is a sunnah while fasting, just as it is while not fasting. 

5/ It is also permissible for the fasting person to do that which lessens the severity of 

heat and thirst, like cooling off by washing his body with water or using an air 

conditioner. 

6/ Also the fasting person can spray into his mouth what which alleviates for him the 

shortness of breath caused by pressure or something else.
