Please please please look at my poem called Somalia on my page, im a young poet just trying to get an audience.Please and thank you. please like this comment aswell to make it top rated please .please once more ,its my dream to be on something like def poetry jam
if people stopped thinking about what other people look like all the time, maybe we wouldnt have such a big problem with racial/gender/religious discrimination. rather than watching this video, i think some people need to close their eyes and actually listen to her words, rather than criticising what she's wearing. BEAUTIFUL POEM, peace & love.
Listen to her words and stop looking at her dress. Her dress form is between her and God, not between her body and your eyes and judgement. Hijab is a progression; people start from different angles, some from the hair-cover, others from wearing looser trousers, but it is by God's grace she and others will choose to cover more and more as they understand and love it more and more. You have nothing to do with her hijab progression. Again, listen to her words. Peace.

Yo guys I am Muslim and I live in the middle east and to be more exactly am in Saudi Arabia, the country of Islam.... and regarding her Hijab please forgive me thats not the way that muslim lady should be with that tight jeans thats just disrespected. Islam doesn't say show your tight ass and cover your hair, what the hell is that..
Astakfurallah alazeem for really i hate this kind of girls that make hijab look unrespected
@zaka213 Al-Islam also doesn't say to critize and disrespect your Muslim sisters either, using curse words etc. Its funny how you said Saudi Arabia is the country of Islam...Al-Islam does not belong to any one country. If I had my choice of place to worship I pick the US over over again. Instead of being so critical and backbitting why don't you make dua for her instead and actually listen to her message...this simply shows that men don't want to take the responsibility of controling their eyes!
@zaka213 Al-Islam Here, in the US, Muslim woman have more freedom, justice and equality to practice. Here we can actually attend Salat tu Jamah without being told to stay home. If you ask me the Islamic world could learn a few things from the Muslims in the U.S. I get tired of the media going overseas for a Muslim perspective when they can look right in their own backyard to see true believers.
@MzSiddiqui hey ,,, about salat Jumah no one got the right to let you stay home if you want to go for pray or even for shopping, look must of the guys in US really got the wrong impression about saudi... believe me must of the stuff you got there we have it and we got freedom but some of the stuff that its not allow from the law of islam yeah its not allowed... name it and I will tell you what you got and what we don't, the good thing about this country is that it give you the limit of freedom.
Wooooow OMG.. That was very touching n powerful.. I feel her pain everyday.. and I feel the pain of the palestinian people more than I feel it for my people>>>Be Patient, dont give up hope and stay strong for ur umma and ur land,, as Palestine will be urs again with the will and supprt of the Almighty. He never forsakes his creations.. Hold On tight My filistinian bros n sisters
She and Suheir Hammad, they are true inspirations. Their beautiful, spoken, real words, have made me lose one of my biggest fears. Being able to become a writer, and a poet, and a damn good one at that, without fearing about being judged, or ignored because of my name, and no matter WHO or WHAT I am, I and everyone else, CAN be what we want, and rock at it too. <3 :)
mashallah.....this poem really brings it back home...when people are worried about minor things like exams or relationships or clothes and jewellry we forget to count our blessings and remember those who ask for nothing but freedom...may Allah bless them with patience and hope inshallah....beautiful poem sister
Every time i hear this, it brings tears to my eyes,and it aches my heart to know that my people are fighting among each other instead of uniting to deliver a state to their people.
masha'allah, made me cry, this girl just said what I've been holding in for God knows how long, at this point tears are still running down my face................i hope God grants this girl peace and greater knowledge then she already posesess AMEEN
This is probably one of the best things I have heard in a long time. She expresses what she's trying to get out so smoothly and effectively. Again, RESPECT!
Please please please look at my poem called Somalia on my page, im a young poet just trying to get an audience.Please and thank you. please like this comment aswell to make it top rated please .please once more ,its my dream to be on something like def poetry jam
come on, have you heard Tamim al-barghouti? or other arab poets? how can you say this is one of the best. You sold all arab litterature and poetry for a clip on you tube. It was good, but if you knew more about Arabic poets you would cry more. Maybe you don't know arabic?
Powerfull... one day when the hearts of the people soften and the hearts of the tyrants soften, the children of palestine will not have to harbour the hate..
that was so honest ans touching .. it made me cry.... she has a gift .. i only wish that it had touched the audience a bit more that there could have been a moment of reflection... because she words were truely deep
man that was great. This is why I love poetry, because it don't matter if the person's wearing a hibjab or if they have this colored skin or that colored skin or how many of whatever nationality are in the audiance, the only thing that matters is what comes out of their mouths. Poetry is byfar the best thing ever created by man, nothing else could make a man cry and laugh, dig deeper and want to take action more than poetry. I love this girl
