    About this ebook

    Bismillah

    “Islam does not oppress women. Men oppress women.”
    She tucks at her scarf.
    Continues.
    “You must remember, before Islam, the Arabs were a people lost in ignorance.”
    Peter-John takes another pastry and listens intently.
    “It is known as Jahiliyyah, the period of ignorance. That was not a good time for women.”
    Maryam shudders.
    “To be a woman, back then, was worse than being a dog.”
    Peter-John looks at her curiously.
    “The Arabs, then, buried there daughters alive. To have a daughter, was seen as something shameful. A disgrace.”
    She takes a sip of her spiced tea.
    “Islam came to liberate the women. The Western world speaks of women rights and all these things only as of the 70’s, 80’s. Allah freed us and gave us rights more than 1400 years ago.”
    She gives the woman in the corner a quick glance.
    Smiles.
    Continues.
    “The prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, came to free us. All praise belongs to Allah.”

    InshaAllah

      I seek protection from satan the outcast and I begin in the name of

      Allah,

      The Gracious, The Merciful.

      Ayat Al-Kursi

      Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

      Surah Al- Baqarah (The Cow) 2:255
