Yes Indeed She's A Cover Girl

This past week has been a pretty busy week and i haven't posted anything in ages and I've also had a hectic weekend from doing some home decorating to going to my husbands family barbecue but I managed to log on to my FB account and found a surprisingly wonderful uplifting article, its about a cute 9 year old half Libyan half American girl choosing to wear hijab and how her mother reacted to it, not your typical story.

Aliya and I wandered past rows of vendors selling prayer mats, henna tattoos, and Muslim clothing. When we reached a table displaying head coverings, Aliya turned to me and pleaded, "Please, Mom—can I have one?"

But anyways i don't wanna give the whole story away so its better you read it for yourself here . Trust me you won't be disappointed. Happy reading!

ooh I read this story today! Someone also linked it, I forget which blog. but It was a nice read, I just hope inshaAllah she stays that way, and maybe even her mother will learn a little more about Islam.
