When do we question God

Don't you sometimes think that things are getting way out of hand and there is only one that can help you in this and that is God? But isn't it such that when you are going through tough times it's God who puts you through them, right? So how is that then. If we are in a tough test from God, we turn to him for help and leave everything in his hands. But what about those unlucky individuals who start questioning God for the pain and suffering he has put them through, I mean ok you are going through tough times but do you have any idea that millions of people from around the world might be going through worse situations than you can ever imagine?

I know someone who tends to fight all odds despite docs telling her she won't make it, she made it through each test, each surgery each point where others would have broken down, holding onto the love she cherishes so much. So to stay strong it seems, that hope has to be alive and with you all the time.

Then there is another person who is fighting death again and again and each time comes out stronger than before, with only smiles on her face.

When God puts those kind of tests upon those people he is not only making them stronger but also everyone connected to them. Do you not think that I have elevated my sense of faith and optimism since I came across those two and many more in similar situations? You bet I have..

All we can do when we go through situations like these is to just fight it through. I know its easier said than done, but I have been there done that. So out of experience I can say that God is the best kind of teacher ever. He gives you a test but also gives you all the help you need to pass it with flying colors.

So all of you who are sad or depressed, remember when God closes a door he opens up a window.. look for the window, it could be some very lovely friends waiting to share your pain. And remember those that take time to share your pain are the true diamonds, cherish them.

The hijaab and the misconceptions

Since my little sister wears hijaab (covers her head) according to the religion Islam. I was looking at some newspapers onlines and was like wow, this group is so much targetted for wearing a scarf on their head, for believing in themselves, being proud and despite all that the misconception that all that cover their head are forced to do so.

The thought became so strong that I just had to do something about it. I registered a domain www.IamScarfed.com and set out on the mission to create a network for sisters around the world who cover their head and have no proper recognition. On this network the thought is to put as much information to inspire more to follow what they can be proud of, and backup those that do already.

The goal is simple but very tough, but not impossible. And that is to get as many people as we can via the website to get a clearer picture that those that wear a scarf on their head due to their religion are proud and also successful in anything they do. A scarf doesn't stop one from doing things one wants to, it just is a part of their lives.. a very important part.
