A mother's shoulder to lean on

Asalaamu Alaikum

I hope that everyone has been wonderful. I have been, Alhamdulillah. I’m rather overwhelmed with my senior project due in less than three weeks. I know that I’ll do well, but the project is a pass or fail grade in high school. It’s a bit nauseating.

I really wanted to write, but to be honest, I didn’t have any idea what I was going to write about until I began writing. Then I remembered something my mom said to me a few days ago.

On Sunday someone said something very vulgar and rude about Islam to me and I bawled. I didn’t fight back because it didn’t seem necessary to me. I don’t think religions should pour effort into disproving others, I think we should focus on perfecting our own lives and let that be our witness. So I didn’t fight back. Yet it ate at me.

When my mom found out, she told me she was proud of me for reverting to Islam. I cried then as well. It was a great feeling that my mom would not only support me, but be proud of me. I am so thankful for the blessing Allah has given me in a mom who accepts me.

This is a rather short blog. Hmmm. Oh well.

I’ll try to write again soon inshallah!
