I am reading a book titles My Journey Behind The Veil by Kay Rasool.
It is based on the acclaimed documentary on ABC My Journey, My Islam.
It is indeed a very interesting book which the writer, Kay Rasool interviews Muslim Women of different cultures and background. How they grew up wearing a veil, when they started wearing it, were they forced or was it their choice, who influenced them to wear it, what does it symbolize to them etc..
Im half-way reading this book. It is one of the MUST READ book I would say.
Some interviews captured my attention and trembled my heart. I have such a respect to those who really understand what they are doing and able to explain to others what they truly and proudly believed in. It is very interesting indeed.
When I read this book, I have come to understand that one can never be forced to do something without explain to them the wisdom and essence of why they do certain things. It is very wrong to say: You have to do this because I told you to do so.
InshaAllah I will quote some interviews when I have finished reading them.
