Hijab
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2022
I wear a hijab,
But it's called Rida
It's in two piece made from silk,  cotton or pastels.
The poncho like top cover the head,chest and arms,
With a small opening in the neck front,
Underneath it is a long lenga type skirt from waist to ankle,
Both the lower sides of the top and skirt are beautifully embroidered, hand painted,laced or crocheted.
It gives me my religious identity,
Preserves my modesty.
It is feminine and attractive,
And it motivates me to adorn it
An elegant rida for a special occasion can be quite expensive.

The Ark v/s Titanic
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2022
The Ark was built by an amateur,
Titanic was built by professionals,
Titanic had all the amenities,
The Ark had no windows,balconies or terraces,
People on the Titanic played and had fun,
Noah on The Ark prayed,
He had faith in God,
And God listened.

Know Your Luggage
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2022
I love one trick of my dear mum,
It may be funny or odd to some,
But it's a good one,
And fun.
Whenever you travel by plane,
To identify your luggage is a hassle and pain,
On arrival.
So I tie a small piece of rag,
On the handle of my bag,
So even if the other bags are same as mine,
I am cool and fine,
For I know from a distance,
As I watch the carousel in silence,
The luggage with the particular rag,
Is my bag.

Stressed
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2022
Whenever I am in stress,
Mum comes to my mind,
I talk to her on the phone for hours,
Or I visit her,
She lets me put my head on her lap,
Or she smears warm hair oil on my head and message my head,
Whilst we talk,
I hear her soft calm voice,
Oxytocin hormone hormone gives me a warm fuzzy feelings,
All my anxiety and stress is gone.

HAPPY EID UL ADHA
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2022
10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah
Coined as theFeast of Sacrifice
Marks Prophet Ibrahim's unwavering faith and devotion to Allah.
As per Ibrahim's A.S recurrent dreams,
His son Ismail agrees to be sacrificed according to Allah's wish,
But  instead Allah sends a sheep to be sacrificed with Jibreel.
From this day onwards Muslim's all over the world sacrifice a goat, sheep or a camel,
And share the meat with friends, relatives, neighbours and the poor,
So forget your diet this week,
Welcome and enjoy the tastiest dishes Eid Ul Adha offers.
