I Fear For Her

She’s taking a picture of herself. She’s gonna post it up and let the world see. I fear for her. I’d rather be invisible.

She can sing. She sings angelically and lets the world hear. I fear for her. I’d rather be a mute.

She’s beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. She’s sharing her beauty with the world. I fear for her. I’d rather be hidden.

She’s got soft skin. She’s letting the boys touch it. I fear for her. I’d rather be handicapped.



I am no one to judge, for judgement is made by Allah and Allah alone. I am only a mere human. She was what I once was. She was me. But who I am today, is not the same anymore. She is no longer me.
The girl I want to be, is the one covered up so well that no one can even guess what’s underneath. The girl I want to be is the girl who’s voice holds strong opinions, but keeps them silent when it is unnecessary. The voice of reason, in times of need. The girl I want to be is the one who guards herself so well, that the boys become shy to come near her. Because they know, she’s pure, she’s good. That is the girl I want to be. That is the muslimah I want to be.

I’m getting better now. I’ll keep reminding my self to be better. Can’t help being human, though. I am not perfect. But everyday, I’m each step closer to being the girl I just described.
Assalamualaikum.
