Spare Me the Sermon On Muslim Women

This is like the best article I read this whole week (not counting Quran because Quran is the best book throughout this life and hereafter)

The best thing about being a muslim woman

It irks me that I even have to say this: Being a Muslim woman is a joyful thing.

Blessings abound for me as a Muslim woman: The freshness of ablution is mine, and the daily meditation zone of five prayers that involve graceful, yoga-like movements, performed in prayer attire. Prayer scarves are a chapter in themselves, cool and comforting as bedsheets. They lie folded in the velveteen prayer rug when not in use: two lightweight muslin pieces, the long drapey headcover and the roomy gathered skirt. I fling open the top piece, and it billows like summer laundry, a lace-edged meadow

I am lucky, so lucky because I am a muslimah=) Alhamdulillah. Even I'm a bit naughty, I shall never stray from this path of righteous.
