Today I seen a blog that said "Allah remembers us even when we don't remember him". That's deep huh?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok So I talked to Hijabi about this yesterday and I want to formulate a email or flyer that is titled "Some things you should know when you work with a Muslim"! ok, so here's what I would put on that list:
1) Muslim's do not eat pork, so please don't offer me a hot dog at the company cook out
2) If I am a Muslim women and you are a man, please don't shake my hand and don't be offended when I won't shake yours
3) Muslims don't drink Alcohol or condone it, so I don't want to sit at LUNCH with you, while I am wearing hijab and your having a Martini, nor do I want to come to the bar with you after work
4) Yes I really do pray 5 times a day and sometimes I pray here, so please don't be alarmed by this.
5) Please don't tell me I look like a nun or refer to my scarf as "head gear"
Did I miss anything? what would you add?
ok, I just started a new job and these people don't know A THING ABOUT MUSLIMS and sometimes it annoys me :-)
Natural meaning in it's orginal state.

I guess as long as they don't call it a "rag" I'm fine.
Completely off topic naturally I got a little story you'll appreciate. My parents (the Parental Units) tell me we are going to my aunt's house and I had on some scrubs and a shirt because I thought we were going to do some gardening. My dad was like don't wear your work clothes over there. So I thought he meant put on regular clothes. I change into a 2 piece flowing skirt outfit with a matching scarf only to find my parents in gardening clothes! I said I thought you said don't wear work clothes and they said we meant your work uniform. I change into appropriate gardening clothes.
Well later on my mom chuckles and I ask her why. She says you came out of your room with clothes that you'd wear to.....what is it called when you go to the mosque on Fridays and I said prayer?? She was like no the other word and I said juma'a. She started laughing and said you were dressed up like you were going to juma'a to do gardening. I'm like oh you got jokes! :o/
Can you believe that woman LOL!
ma'a salaamah boo love
LMHO, your parents are hilarious!!!!
Some other rules
- Dont expect me to stay till late at your little dinner parties, I dont dance, listen to your music or find any of that in the least bit entertaining. I do enjoy however watching you make fools of yourselves when you are drunk!!
- Dont expect me to hug you (guys) for your birthday etc- We can communicate just fine by talking
- Dont feel sorry for me when I am wearing long sleeves in the blazing sun while you shed of your clothes,I feel just fine, thanks
- Dont think that I am out of fashion for not wearing skimpy clothes or tight clothes, I can look just as great in "decent" clothes
- Please dont judge Islam by the rest of the muslims here who dont wear scarves, who dance and act like you...thats not Islam
hehehe, i love this lol..sometimes I feel so alone being the only PRACTISING muslim in my department..its so good to know that there are others out there going through the same thing :)
LMHO!!! Muslimah4life those are great! Maybe we could put this list together and give it to our HR departments!! LMHO!!

As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barkatuhu my dear sister,
Long time since I've stopped by, sorry :(
Hehe.. this is a very interesting post!
Don't forget, all your actions are a form of da'wah. So in a sense.. it's not so bad they don't know a thing about Muslims.. because insha'Allah what ever they see you do (like wear hijab, pray, etc.) you'll be rewarded for :)
Ma'salaama
Love Farhana
As Salaamu Alaikum Farhana!
I'ved missed you!! You are so right. I have to remind myself of the dawah in all of this! Thank you for that reminder!
