"If you have felt guilty because you had doubts, if you felt confused
because you considered something in Islam (especially as related to
women) oppressive, if you have chosen to distance yourself from the
Muslim community because you simply could no longer take feeling
intellectually, emotionally and spiritually judged, especially as a
woman, I want you to remember something:
God did not create you, as a
woman, to punish you or to crush you or to make you less than men in His
eyes. If anyone makes you feel so, then do not be the one who turns
away from Islam or the community. We need your voices, especially, to
help change the narrative many of our communities have when we
especially address women in Islam.
Always remember: Islam does not aim to mute our personalities,
rather, to enhance us. If we become unrecognizable to our own selves, we
need to think critically on the messages we are accepting into our
lives. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not train people to warp into
who they are not. Rather, he built people to become better versions of
themselves.
God brought you to Islam to help you progress towards a better version
of your own self and to benefit humanity. Seek Him, study seriously
under solid mentors, and be a means of transforming yourself and those
around you for the best. "
