Speaking As A Muslim Mother...
Today I speak here as a Muslim mother. I have a young daughter who is
five years old. On special occasions, like when we go to the Mosque or
when we pray I let her wear hijab. Looking in the mirror she carefully
tucks her hair under her scarf and when she's finished she looks up and
screams in joy “look mummy I'm a Muslim”. I smile back… but behind
that smile I am afraid, afraid of what she will have to go through every
day of her life just to say “I am a Muslim”.
As Muslims we understand that our precious children are an ammanah
– a trust from Allah - for which we are responsible. Our children are
born to us Muslim, and it's our duty as parents to protect them, by
teaching them of this great gift of Islam so that as they pass in to
adulthood its still there with them continuing to give them strength and
protection, and their lives meaning and purpose.
Our enemies understand only too well that our children represent the future
of Islam in the West, a future they wish to extinguish. So it's not surprising,
that in this war on Islam our enemies attack our children and their right to
Islam. Wherever they ban hijab in the world, they first start by targeting
our children.
Singapore
| In Singapore it started on 1 st Febuary 2002 when four 7-year-old Muslim girls were thrown out of school for wearing hijab, after the Deputy Prime Minister had banned it. He said it was to help children integrate, but whilst he stripped Muslim girls of their hijabs, he allowed Sikhs boys to continue wearing their turbans. |  7 years old Nurul Nasihah (centre left) with her friends at school before she was thrown out for wearing her hijab. |
