Do you ever watch the news??
Or at least have an understanding of the events unfolding around us??
Do you think that these shooters and mass murderers with their barbaric actions represent us as humans??

user30265478 user30265478 3 weeks ago I slide the hijab on my head in a hurry as I ran out the door My bio Chem exam the only thing on my mind I practiced, I promise, I studied as hard as I can, but only God knows the end score
My face is flushed, butterflies in my stomach See this is biochem, one of my hardest courses The thought that this course might be the reason I would have to give up my dream of entering the health care world brings aches
As I walk out of the subway, I decide to head for payer Because I did everything I could and now I leave the rest to God A mother and her daughter are walking in front of me and the mother turns to look at my mesh of clothing layers
She stares directly at the wrapping around my head And I don't think anymore of it
But her walk quickens and now she's dragging her daughter
See, I know my clothes and face might of looked disheveled but I promise it was because I had just one thing on my mind, my career and my future collided into this test And there was no way to get any rest
She and her daughter walk straight into the small building I'm headed towards The mother holds the door open, gives me a look that makes me shiver and says "watch out hunny, it's dangerous"
Enzymes, and amino acids, what's dangerous? Glutamine and glutamate, what this lady trippin about?
Trypsin and trypsinogen, remember the difference!
Just then, the girl innocently asks her mother "what's dangerous."
And what the mother says next clears any doubts that I've been trying to shave in the back of my mind
"Nothing hunny, I said were meeting with Dan"
She meant me, I was dangerous.
As if the piece of cloth on my head could possibly tell you about my life history, my character, and my personality
As I stand in prayer, all the worries and anger collide and I wonder...
It's too much, just the other day my sister in the UK had her hijab pulled off in front of her kids.
And last week, my sister is Mississauga was walking her kids to school when thugs walked up to her and left her with no teeth They ripped her of her dignity as her kids stared from beneath
Or who can forget Deah, Yusor, and Razan, the three model citizens whom the neighbor couldn't stand He took their lives from them though they had so much to live for And the worst part is they represented the best of Islam
Though all he saw was that head wrap
How did we get here? Letting our poorly formed opinions pull triggers?
No, you can't make me believe, that the One who told us to be just to even those we hate could possible have caused this state
That His Prophet who taught us that failing to feed a kitten could stop you from getting into heaven
Could possibly have wanted all this destruction and hate
No.
If I can go back in time, I would have told the mother that I would never try to hurt her or her baby
How can I possibly when even little critters I try to spare with mercy?
But I finish my prayer and head to the exam hall, one test of patience down, another to go.
