O' you who believe! Enter into Islâm whole-heatedly (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islâmic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy.
[Al-Baqarah (2):208]
TO WESTERN WOMEN by Aisha
When you look at me, all you can see... Is the scarf that covers my hair. My word you can't hear. Because you're too full of fear , Mouth gaping, all you do is stare. You think it's not my own choice. In your own "liberation" you rejoice. You're so thankful that you're not me. You think I'm uneducated, Trapped, oppressed and subjugated. You're so thankful that you are free. But Western women, you've got it all wrong- You're the weak and I'm the strong, For I've rejected the trap of man. Fancy clothes- low neck, short skirt, These are devices for pain and hurt , Always jumping to the male agenda, competing on his terms. No job share, no baby-sitting facilities, No feeding and diaper-changing amenities.
No equal pay for equal skill- Your job they can always fill. Is this liberation? A person with ideas and thought, I'm not for sale , I can't be bought. I won't decorate any man's arm, Nor be promoted for my charm. There's more to me than playing coy. Living life as a balancing game- mother, daughter, wife, nurse, cleaner, cook, lover- And still bring home a wage. Who thought up this modern " freedom " Where man can love'em and man can leave 'em. This is not free but life in a cage. Western women you can have your life. Mine- it has less strife. I cover and I get respected. Surely that's to be expected- For I won't demean the feminine I won't live to a male criterion . I dance to my own tune, And I hope you see this very soon, For your own sake- wake up and use your sight! Are you so sure that you are right?

The Zodiac Sign is Haraam
The Zodiac sign is haraam. No Muslim should have it on their page because of the non-Islaamic principles it adheres to and the shirk that it encourages. To remove the zodiac sign from your page (this is the old version of myspace, I am not sure if it works for the new layout) copy and paste the following to your 'about me' section of your profile:
style
.a {hide only Zodiac sign}
.userProfileDetail a {display:none;}
/style
You must also put the > on the right end and the < on the left end of both of the words style for the code to work. (My doing so here will activate the code.)
