“So the main problem of all women in politics is the gap between acting in your personal role and on the other hand dealing with your everyday problems. Sometimes, you feel helpless as a woman in this situation. This is not the problem of an individual, this is the main problem of women in society.

I have often observed the stupid indifference of my Muslim friends to animals as an admixture of zoophobia (extreme fear of animals) and misozoony (Hatred of animals). First, I found them cynophobic (disliking dogs). One of my friends related to me the Prophetic hadith on washing seven times (one time being with water), in case a Muslim touches a dog.

If he weren't standing lonely vigil on the mountain, you might say that there was no sign of anything unusual about him. The earliest sources describe him with infuriating vagueness for those of us who need images. "He was neither tall nor short," they say. "Neither dark nor fair." "Neither thin nor stout."

Last year in June, during my visit to Turkey I visited the Mevlānā Museum in Konya and it was indeed an experience that I continue to cherish in my heart. Mevlana Museum is the popular name of the Green Tomb (Yeşil Türbe), a splendid shrine where Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (d. 1273), popularly known in the English speaking world as Rumi and Mevlana in Turkey, rests in peace beside the tomb of his father Bahā ud-Dīn Walad (d. 1231).

A manuscript copy of the Koran, written probably in the twelfth century in eastern Iran in a rather simple, late Kufic hand, has one notable peculiarity: the whole of Sura 112, the profession of God’s Unity, is written in unusually interlaced, powerful letters, and on another page, the word Muhammad rasul Allah, “Muhammad is the messenger of God”, are likewise distinguished by their eye-catching calligraphic form from the rest of page.

She sat in front of me; the dejection in her eyes mixed with something else – confusion, bewilderment. She still didn’t know where she went wrong, how she went wrong. She tried to do everything right, the way he wanted it. She tried hard, a bit too hard perhaps.
She had been married for two years. It was when her husband’s assaults failed to induce a response from her that he realized there was something wrong with her. Ironic. No matter what he did to her, how he treated her, she always strived for his approval, accepting everything he gave with submission.
