backgrounds have been seen as evil corrupters and for some, this is true as many have been conditioned to vibrate from a lower frequency, others have done so deliberately and then there are the sisters who have just been unknowingly confused by the patriarchal societies they find themselves in so much so they have learnt to silence their powers and not channel their energies – they have in essence, learned to fly under the radar. Even between each other, sisters have been taught to look at on another with hostility as if they are competition, rather than embrace and come together as one unit. Think about it, how many times has a new sister or a revert entered a mosque and sat in the corner like stranger, no one has gone up to her and welcomed her and talked to her. ’s only after some time that someone will bump into her and say something or will pass by her and say a few things. It doesn’ happen often that straight away she is welcomed and details are exchanged. It’s very sad to see and this lack of unity and morals must be addressed as these are just BASIC things. It’s very basic to smile and ask someone how they are and strike a conversation with them, it’s not hard at all. But if these BASIC things are not mastered, then what hope is there for anything else? The biggest attack has been made on the feminine divine, to reduce her into a carnal being that is only on this earth to reproduce and obey – not much else. She is not seen as the creator, the guide, the leader. This is far from the truth and the reason why there is such a ferocious plot against her, because if you corrupt the woman, you corrupt the entire society. So this is what the issue is about this month. There are things in here that might seem controversial for me as a woman to talk about, but we have hidden these things for far too long and it’s led to the sad state we find ourselves in now.
