The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"Islam came a stranger to this world and will leave a stranger from this world."
(Hadith referenced here.)
There are very few statements that have the effect of reducing me to tears. This is one of them. I cry with tears every time I read or hear this hadith. If only some people could know what is the meaning of pain ...
But I don't cry when some secular person says that he feels uncomfortable with the feminine veil and then a whole nation joins him in chorus. When millions of people who are completely unfamiliar with the veil start casting aspersions on it and bicker about how the veil is so "strange", then know that the stranger has come and he is here to stay.
Ahlan wa sahlan, marhaba, marhaba.
Eid Mubarak :)
