Apparently, she is oppressed

All covered up in the way she’s dressed

As pictures of her flood the internet and the people are addressed

You see this woman here is depressed

Can’t even dress to impress

And is locked up, and actually looks like a mess

I mean, she covers her face and even the rest

She doesn’t leave an inch of her body to be seen, even if she’s in the west

But, honestly they fail to see reality

Yes, she is covered but is treated like royalty

A woman full of morality doesn’t need the opinion of others to her spirituality

You see, she is a woman who is aware of her identity

She knows who she wants be

Not like an object scattered in the street

But, diamond beautiful from its top to its peak

A precious pearl found only in the sea

I mean, she defines unique

And yet, I don’t understand why the ignorant choose to speak for her

Doesn’t need people to misjudge her

And no she isn’t miserable because she chooses to cover

So, please comprehend the fact she has no oppressor

But, maybe your illiteracy might oppress her

So ask how she feels before you say lies about her

Because she has a voice of her own

And no is not alone

She has God beside her

Think about how she feels and not what others think of her

And what if people got the wrong impression about you?

What if they saw you as scared and abused

What if they thought your people are cruel

What if they thought you were locked up in a house full of rules

When all of that is a misconception and not one is true

Wouldn’t you want people to understand the real you?

I mean, just please know what you’re saying

Before you say something which isn’t true

Because she has the right to cover up

And doesn’t have to unveil for you

The people before us have left a history that is rich

Tales of Kings and Queens

Nations and villages on a small little ditch

I must admit, the stories of the strong warrior and the brave knight

Made me wish I had a little bit of their might

Right were those who only strove to the light

Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim Forgotten History • Who is Al-Idrisi? Abu Abdullah Muhammad Al Idrisi Al Qutubi Al Hassan Al Sabi, also known as "Al-Idrisi". Al- Idrisi was the first to create a map. He was born 1099 in Ceuta, Morocco. Al-Idrisi was a Moroccan Geographer, Cartographer and was also a fine poet & writer. After Al-Idrisi finished his studies in Corodoba, he went out to explore the European continent. Before Al-Idrisi's time other Muslim geographers traveled the world to obtain geographical data. He combined this knowledge with his own knowledge. Al-Idrisi's first map was based on his book "Katib Nuzhat Al-Mushtaq fi Ikhtiraq Al- Afaq". Seven of his books were translated into Latin. Likewise, his books were popular for seven centuries! The coming generations of European cartographers altered Al-Idrisi's original work. Which made the Southern part of the world below in terms of knowledge and advancement compared to the Northern part or the Europeans. It is said that Christopher Columbus work was originally derived from Al-Idrisi's work. Some of the world's greatest scholars, explores and cartographers were inspired by Al-Idrisi's work like; Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Battuta and Vasco de Gama and many more.

Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim Innal-Hamdalillah was-Salaatu was-Salaam `alaa Rasoolillah As-Salaamu alaikum wa-Rahmatullahi wa-Barakatuhu "The Prophets transfer neither dinar nor dirham by inheritance. They only transfer knowledge by inheritance. Therefore, he who acquires this (Knowledge) receives an ample share." [Ibn Majah] Muslims are living in a time of trials and tribulations. It's essential for us to seek knowledge, which can benefit us in the Dunya as well as the Akhira bithinillahi ta'alaa. At the time of the Prophet, the Sahaba's would continuously seek knowledge even if it were to be something that would seem so little to us... SubhanAllah. The Prophet SAW states in a hadith: "He who sets foot on a path in the quest of knowledge, Allah will facilitate for him the path to paradise". [Ibn Majah] Now, I will end with this Ayah from the Qur'an Al Karim "Say: this is my way: I call unto Allah with sure knowledge I and those who follow me." (12:108)
