AssalamuAliakum, sister! Yes, you, you who has been through the struggle, who still accidently stabs herself with the hijab pin, who tries super hard to keep from doing haram, who isn't willing to give up the battle for sincere righteousness. That's you my muslim sister. Here's to being a muslimah!

I, Brittany Malene, have been dubbed the oh-so honorable title of the school's "Slut." With great power, comes great responsibility and I just have to say that a lot of legwork went into this achievement. Pun intended. Okay, so it's not exactly ideal, but I'm the queen of making the best out of a sticky situation. Again, pun intended. Anyway, I think that what a girl chooses to do with her body is entirely her choice. While I've definitely made some pretty questionable choices over the years, there is a bigger picture at hand. From trying to save a damaged bad boy who wasn't worth the side effects, to saving other girls from making the same mistake. Needless to say, the walls I've meticulously built around my heart are strong enough to make conservatives weak in the knees. So, my brother's best friend, Sam "Nice Guy" Jacobs, is the least of my worries. Or so I thought.

Have you ever felt so frustrated that you feel like kicking those lofty fashion-controlling guys and their switching styles when you find that your new hairstyle, which you got after much begging and coaxing your parents, just went out of fashion? And what about that special celebrity-like dress which you bought after much saving and planning only to find that it doesn't suit you at all... (Though I know you wouldn't admit it for the world;) Do not worry, we have all been there but the question is Are you still a slave of all that trash or are you the odd 'don't-care-a-heck-about-fashion' person or are you of the Sunnah brand? This is a book, which deals with neither fashion nor its criticisms. On the contrary, it deals completely with the Halal fashion or style in Islam that is known as the Sunnah (ways and teachings of Prophet [saw]). Wanna know a delicious thing about this Sunnah fashion? Well it never goes out of style! And the reward of reviving one little Sunnah of Muhammed [saw] is simply infinite. Also do not forget that if you try to practice every Sunnah, the Master of all Prophets, Muhammed [saw] himself will recognize and recommend you to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He!) during the inevitable Last Day! Come then, let us learn, practice and spread each Sunnah of Prophet [saw] until the news reaches even the Arsh (Throne) of Allah SWT, until He becomes immensely pleased and proud of His beloved's Ummah! So are you ready to make Sunnah your unique style?

Doesnt every individual have the right to be correctly informed about the religion they so famously call 'The One which Preaches Terrorism??'

One day I was really upset about something and for some reason I decided to grab a pen and paper and when I finished what I had scribbled down I was like, "hey, that could be a poem." Weird, I know right? That's how I began this whole poetry thing (without being forced to by teachers). A little while later I posted it here on wattpad just to see what others would think. I honestly didn't and don't consider myself as a "poetic" type of person. For me, writing poetry is just away for me to let my emotions out with out crying all over the place or cussing anyone out lol. It strangely makes me feel better afterwards.... Sometimes lol. In this collection of my poems some of them are about me, or things I can relate to, or things that have just been on my mind. So basically what I'm doing is gathering my old poems (some u may or may not have read) and I'm collecting them under this one book, I guess u could call it. I'll be add more poems but don't expect frequent updates because I only write poems when I'm "in the mood" lol. Everyone's opinions are welcomed (as long as you're respectful about it) so don't hesitate to comment. Sooo, enough of me rambling and go read! - Jannah Banana <3
