This just goes to show how narrow-minded they are, and although there might be some things that you admire about their culture, there are other things that you should not.<br /><br />Even so, I would like to say may Allah keep you on his path, and in standing strong by your beliefs, as it has only been a short period since you wearing a scarf, and what you have just been through was, I assure you, a test.<br /><br />Also let me remind you of Allah's words in the 216th verse of Surat Al Baqara: "and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know." (Shakir Translation)<br /><br />So do not have sorrow or anger, as the best may yet to come!Ahmedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929751831789885135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219953108647325125.post-31159696406176893292011-05-16T02:46:11.980-04:002011-05-16T02:46:11.980-04:00When you told me about wanting to go on exchange i...When you told me about wanting to go on exchange in France a couple of months ago, I wanted to tell you about the Hijab issue they have. But I'm surprised they actually said something because my other friend who went on exchange in France (you know her) wore her scarf. I hope you're not upset anymore. As with everything, inshAllah khair. And as you said, it's just a setback, and you will find other ways to grow inshAllah. Love your strength habeeba :)bintbattutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261946303643565831noreply@blogger.com
