some women cut women down to less-than-size
whispering words wicked and worldly
sneaky and suspicious
dragging down
down
my sisters, they share and comfort and advise
and soften and heal and protect and
cushion the blows
and lift and
raise
my sisters sharpen their brains
and polish their souls
comb their words
reflect in their
actions
I look with pride in the power
they yield, their voices
crisp and confident
self-assured
firm
scholars and scientists
writers and mothers
wives and activists
in awe I stand
I salute your power
so poignant and poised
I'm humbled at your humility
so undeservedly unassuming
we stand as a unit
a fortress, a shield
a mirror
reflecting against
each other

I miss you!
May Allah increase the bond of sisterhood between all us Muslimahs!!
nice blog:)
Lovely Blog
May we forever be in the company of such inspiring, loving women thast make us proud to be muslimahs iA
I never understand what other women get from hurting one another. We have created bonds stronger than family by encouraging what is good and forbidding what is wrong, which becomes easier once you have a clan that is your strength
I stand in awe of you
