But I Being Poor Have Only My Dreams
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I,
being poor,
have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams.

If she’s amazing,
she won’t be easy.
If she’s easy,
she won’t be amazing.
If she’s worth it,
you wont give up.
If you give up,
you’re not worthy. …
Truth is,
everybody is going to hurt you;
you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

Women in the Quran and the Sunnah
In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to Allah is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct.
The Quran says:
“And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women.”
[Noble Quran 2:228]
The Quran, in addressing the believers, often uses the expression, ‘believing men and women’ to emphasize the equality of men and women in regard to their respective duties, rights, virtues and merits. It says:
“For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward.”
[Noble Quran 33:35]
This clearly contradicts the assertion of the Christian Fathers that women do not possess souls and that they will exist as sexless beings in the next life. The Quran says that women have souls in exactly the same way as men and will enter Paradise if they do good:
“Enter into Paradise, you and your wives, with delight.”
[Noble Quran 43:70]
“Who so does that which is right, and believes, whether male or female, him or her will We quicken to happy life.”
[Noble Quran 16:97]
The Quran admonishes those men who oppress or ill-treat women:
“O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should you treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the dowry you have given them – except when they have become guilty of open lewdness. On the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If you take a dislike to them, it may be that you dislike something and Allah will bring about through it a great deal of good.”
[Noble Quran 4:19]
Considering the fact that before the advent of Islam the pagan Arabs used to bury their female children alive, make women dance naked in the vicinity of the Ka’bah during their annual fairs, and treat women as mere chattels and objects of sexual pleasure possessing no rights or position whatsoever, these teachings of the Noble Quran were revolutionary. Unlike other religions, which regarded women as being possessed of inherent sin and wickedness and men as being possessed of inherent virtue and nobility, Islam regards men and women as being of the same essence created from a single soul.
The Quran declares:
“O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate, and from this pair scattered (like seeds) countless men and women. Reverence Allah, through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and reverence the wombs (that bore you); for Allah ever watches over you.”
[Noble Quran 4:1]
The Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Women are the twin halves of men.” The Quran emphasizes the essential unity of men and women in a most beautiful simile:
“They (your wives) are your garment and you are a garment for them.”
[Noble Quran 2:187]
Just as a garment hides our nakedness, so do husband and wife, by entering into the relationship of marriage, secure each other’s chastity. The garment gives comfort to the body; so does the husband find comfort in his wife’s company and she in his. “The garment is the grace, the beauty, the embellishment of the body, so too are wives to their husbands as their husbands are to them.” Islam does not consider woman “an instrument of the Devil”, but rather the Quran calls her Muhsana – a fortress against Satan because a good woman, by marrying a man, helps him keep to the path of rectitude in his life. It is for this reason that marriage was considered by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a most virtuous act. He said: “When a man marries, he has completed one half of his religion.” He enjoined matrimony on Muslims by saying: “Marriage is part of my way and whoever keeps away from my way is not from me (i.e. is not my follower).” The Quran has given the raison d’être of marriage in the following words:
“And among His signs is this, that He has created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them; and He has put love and mercy between you. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect.”
[Noble Quran 30:21]
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was full of praise for virtuous and chaste women. He said:
“The world and all things in the world are precious but the most precious thing in the world is a virtuous woman. He once told the future khalifah, ‘Umar: “Shall I not inform you about the best treasure a man can hoard? It is a virtuous wife who pleases him whenever he looks towards her, and who guards herself when he is absent from her.”
On other occasions the Prophet said:
“The best property a man can have is a remembering tongue (about Allah), a grateful heart and a believing wife who helps him in his faith.”
And again:
“The world, the whole of it, is a commodity and the best of the commodities of the world is a virtuous wife.”
Before the advent of Islam women were often treated worse than animals. The Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims:
“Fear Allah in respect of women.”
And:
“The best of you are they who behave best to their wives.” And:
“A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good.”
And:
“The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutbah on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said:
“Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means.”
In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female children would act as a screen for them against the fire of Hell:
It is narrated by the Prophet’s wife, Ayshah, that a woman entered her house with two of her daughters. She asked for charity but Ayshah could not find anything except a date, which was given to her. The woman divided it between her two daughters and did not eat any herself. Then she got up and left. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the house, Ayshah told him about what had happened and he declared that when the woman was brought to account (on the Day of Judgment) about her two daughters they would act as a screen for her from the fires of Hell.
The worst calamity for a woman is when her husband passes away and, as a widow, the responsibility of maintaining the children falls upon her. In the Eastern World, where a woman does not always go out to earn her living, the problems of widowhood are indescribable. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) upheld the cause of widows. Most of his wives were widows. In an age when widows were rarely permitted to remarry, the Prophet encouraged his followers to marry them. He was always ready to help widows and exhorted his followers to do the same.
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet said:
“One who makes efforts (to help) the widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) in the path of Allah, or like one who stands up for prayers in the night and fasts in the day.”
Woman as mother commands great respect in Islam. The Noble Quran speaks of the rights of the mother in a number of verses. It enjoins Muslims to show respect to their mothers and serve them well even if they are still unbelievers. The Prophet states emphatically that the rights of the mother are paramount.
Abu Hurayrah reported that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked:
“O Messenger of Allah, who is the person who has the greatest right on me with regards to kindness and attention?”
He replied, “Your mother.” “Then who?” He replied, “Your mother.” “Then who?” He replied, “Your mother.” “Then who?” He replied, “Your father.”
In another tradition, the Prophet advised a believer not to join the war against the Quraish in defense of Islam, but to look after his mother, saying that his service to his mother would be a cause of his salvation. Mu’awiyah, the son of Jahimah, reported that Jahimah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “Messenger of Allah! I want to join the fighting (in the path of Allah) and I have come to seek your advice.” He said, “Then remain in your mother’s service, because Paradise is under her feet.”
The Prophet’s followers accepted his teachings and brought about a revolution in their social attitude towards women. They no longer considered women as mere chattels, but as an integral part of society. For the first time women were given the right to have a share in inheritance. In the new social climate, women rediscovered themselves and became highly active members of society rendering useful service during the wars which the pagan Arabs forced on the emerging Muslim Ummah. They carried provisions for the soldiers, nursed them, and even fought alongside them if it was necessary. It became a common sight to see women helping their husbands in the fields, carrying on trade and business independently, and going out of their homes to satisfy their needs.
Ayshah reported that Saudah bint Zam’ah went out one night. ‘Umar saw her and recognized her and said, “By God, O Saudah, why do you not hide yourself from us?” She went back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him about it while he was having supper in her room, and he said, “It is permitted by Allah for you to go out for your needs.” The predominant idea in the teachings of Islam with regard to men and women is that a husband and wife should be full-fledged partners in making their home a happy and prosperous place, that they should be loyal and faithful to one another, and genuinely interested in each other’s welfare and the welfare of their children. A woman is expected to exercise a humanizing influence over her husband and to soften the sternness inherent in his nature. A man is enjoined to educate the women in his care so that they cultivate the qualities in which they, by their very nature, excel.
These aspects were much emphasized by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He exhorted men to marry women of piety and women to be faithful to their husbands and kind to their children.
He said:
“Among my followers the best of men are those who are best to their wives, and the best of women are those who are best to their husbands. To each of such women is set down a reward equivalent to the reward of a thousand martyrs. Among my followers, again, the best of women are those who assist their husbands in their work, and love them dearly for everything, save what is a transgression of Allah’s laws.”
Once Mu’awiyah asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “What are the rights that a wife has over her husband?” The Prophet replied, “Feed her when you take your food, give her clothes to wear when you wear clothes, refrain from giving her a slap on the face or abusing her, and do not separate from your wife, except within the house.” Once a woman came to the Prophet with a complaint against her husband. He told her: “There is no woman who removes something to replace it in its proper place, with a view to tidying her husband’s house, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for her. Nor is there a man who walks with his wife hand-in-hand, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for him; and if he puts his arm round her shoulder in love, his virtue is increased tenfold.” Once he was heard praising the women of the tribe of Quraish, “…because they are the kindest to their children while they are infants and because they keep a careful watch over the belongings of their husbands.”
The Shari’ah regards women as the spiritual and intellectual equals of men. The main distinction it makes between them is in the physical realm based on the equitable principle of fair division of labor. It allots the more strenuous work to the man and makes him responsible for the maintenance of the family. It allots the work of managing the home and the upbringing and training of children to the woman, work which has the greatest importance in the task of building a healthy and prosperous society.
It is a fact, however, that sound administration within the domestic field is impossible without a unified policy. For this reason the Shari’ah requires a man, as head of the family, to consult with his family and then to have the final say in decisions concerning it. In doing so he must not abuse his prerogative to cause any injury to his wife. Any transgression of this principle involves for him the risk of losing the favor of Allah, because his wife is not his subordinate but she is, to use the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), ‘the queen of her house’, and this is the position a true believer is expected to give his wife. In contrast to these enlightened teachings of Islam in respect of women, Western talk of women’s liberation or emancipation is actually a disguised form of exploitation of her body, deprivation of her honor, and degradation of her soul!

Sad, but not surprising. Not only are they racist, they’re inaccurate. Amazing.

These were some of the most ignorant responses I’ve ever seen.
-If shes Indian, shes probably Hindu, not Muslim, though whatever her religion is, I don’t see where that makes her a terrorist.
– The president IS American (but the definition of America is a melting pot of cultures. I guess people forget that)
-its an* not a idiot.
– I agree with you completely.

Not sure if I’m more sad about their complete ignorance in the general world geography or they they think hunting and tattoos makes you an American?

Okay now I’m confused. People say that you can achieve anything you want in this country if you work hard enough. And NOW folks are getting angry at an American who actually did it?

There will always be ignorant people and unfortunately we can’t change them or their outlook. We just have to raise our children to be tolerant individuals and hope that is spreads to eliminate this kind of crass behavior. #Riseabove

wow… this country is full of racist idiots that arent fucking educated… so sad… She won for a reason… and thats all that matters

I wish I was one of those plebs with a Twitter account so I could tell each and every one of these waste of sperm cells what they really are. Inbreds.
It’s just, these people are so sheleted that they think that just because somebody doesn’t look like them or talk like them, and because they are american, that the other person must therefore be “un-american”. But that’s not how it works. “American” doesn’t = white. It doesn’t = christian. It doesn’t = tattooed. It doesn’t = you.
OMG! Have all the Americans forgotten that America consists of immigrants from Europe? So, actually a white native Americans doesn’t excist! Native Americans are the ones who lived in America before the Europeans came there. Please, do your history homework. Isn’t America a melting pot? This is so pathetic! Give the winner a break. She won fairly! Oh, and should I mention that India is not an Arab country?
Take solace in knowing that most of these senseless comments are from high schoolers … oh wait no we’re all ****ed.
Nina was born in Syracuse, New York, therefore, she is an American. Do your research. This country is full of morons. And with all due respect to the military, I’m quite sick of all the hype surrounding Miss Kansas. She used her military status, tattoos, and archery skills as petty gimmicks, and that’s the only reason people like her. She did not stand out otherwise. Her talent was horrible, and I can attest to that as a classically-trained opera singer, and as an experienced pageant contestant. She picked up that aria as a last resort and I find that very insulting. All I got from her was “Hey, look at me, I’m in the military and have tattoos so I should be Miss America!” They gave her the most publicity, so that’s why people are brainwashed by her. No. Just no. There’s so much more involved in the pageant than what you see on TV.
Look, these are assholes. But there’s only 19 of them (not counting the dude who just seems like a fan of Vail)- they don’t matter. They are nothing. I am genuinely concerned that the energy people put into “calling out” trolls on the internet is sapping our ability to affect real change. This racism is a mosquito bite. The new voter id laws, stop-and-frisk, Arizona’s anti-immigrant laws: these are knife wounds. Get pissed off about that. Talk about that, not this piddly-ass troll shit.
“With *DO* respect!”
1) Yes, some Americans could learn better spelling in what they call English.
2) Glad to learn that the beautiful and the jerks aren’t geographical hallmarks of any one nation.
3) The American whites themselves do not belong to the U.S.A, most of their ancestors landed there as immigrants, labourers, social rejects and aspirants from the other side of the Atlantic. More from other ethnicities are following suit, centuries later. Period.
4) As an Indian, I’m only glad that Columbus landed in America. It’s divine providence that this gene pool didn’t colonise my nation twice over. We’re managing to do well with homegrown idiots. Thank you.
5) Would I be absolved for making blanket observations about the general awareness of an average American? I’m more or less convinced! (Re-posting for my FB wall)
It’s not surprising that racist people are often willfully ignorant about other cultures and the various ethnic groups that live in America. If they really want a “pure” American to be Miss America, then they should support Native American contestants (or at least contestants who can verify that their families immigrated here a sufficiently long time ago. A hundred years? Two hundred years?). Most people in the U.S. are descended from immigrants. But sadly, I suspect that in most of these people’s minds, “American” means “white.” She could be second-generation German or Swedish, and most of those people probably wouldn’t care.
Shouldn’t make fun of people with such low IQs!! They can’t help it if they are STOOPID!!! And there is NO cure for STOOPID!!
I don’t know what’s worse… the Miss America pageant itself or those horrible responses. However, not surprising that a large group of ignorant people would be watching that show. The only thing the Miss America pageant teaches people is that you have to be physically perfect to be worth something. And now we’re going to say outright you must be white too? So sad.
I do recall that once upon a time, America was called the “Melting Pot.” What happened to acceptance of others? Give your tired, your weak, your huddled masses? That beautiful woman had nothing to do with 9/11! These women each win for different reasons. Grats Miss America. Still not going to watch in the future though. The pageants bore me to tears.

After reading all this I almost have the urge to compete in a state competition and try to become the first plus size Miss America. I bet people would go ape-shit crazy that a fat girl won Miss America. I’d love to get my viewpoints out there. Of course I’d probably be the most unorthodox Miss America ever as my talent would probably be something incredibly bizarre or different because I can’t sing, dance, or play an instrument so I’d probably have to settle on something much different.
The ignorance (or just plain intolerance) of some Americans is astounding. Wish people would obtain a heart and a brain before opening their mouths. Good for her though!

I hate people. This beautiful lady deserved to win. I am proud to have her as Miss America
LOL… Toooo funny! You cant do anything but laugh!!! Education is worth a Million. Those comments are poor! – Dumb, Dumb People
People are a bunch of dip shits. America is a melting pot of all different races, cultures, and religions. To say that she is Arab and a terrorist and works at 7-11, and the woman who is a soldier with tattoos and hunts should have won because “that’s the definition of America” needs to reevaluate their dismal lives and their perspective of America. Why do people waste so much energy on hating someone that does not look like they do? I don’t get it. Life is too short to be a bigot.
I’d say Twitter should put an IQ requirement in order for people to activate an account. Maybe even per tweet (think IQ puzzle style CAPTCHA) but this is way too damn entertaining!
Miss North Carolina is a Lumbee, a Native American. She is brown, too. Can’t get much more American than her! So how do y’all “whites only” Americans like THEM crabapples!
GET THE FUCK OVER IT. All of you politically correct lunatics are just disgusting. so, people called her names. Does it directly affect you? NO. The problem with this country is we are so afraid of offending anyone that you PC lunatics want to still apologize for slavery. GET OVER IT. She’s pretty/she won. Let the naysayers bitch all they want. But shut the fuck up. Liberals.
The PI lunatics need to stop acting like they are victims of some liberal plot to overthrow their Red, WHITE, and blue nation. Imagine the little AMERICAN girl whose skin is brown and whose parents speak Hindi or some regional Indian dialect and go to Temple. She is seeing and hearing people tell someone who looks just like her that she is not a real American. These types of things are called out by the “PC Liberals”, not because of political correctness, but because these statements are inhuman. This whole “Political Correctness is ruining our country” is a total myth, drummed up by FoxNews and other conservative sources to get their consumers to beat their chests and blindly buy their shitty camouflage products and McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets. This post was not about calling someone an “Indian-American” or “American-Indian”, or “American of Indian Descent.” It was about racist attitudes, WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED IN ANY FORM in this nation founded and shaped by immigrants and their children.
So it’s more disgusting to call people out for blatant, racist, xenophobic attitudes than it is to spew those attitudes like verbal diarrhea? These people are a lot more than ‘naysayers.’
Yeah, pick Miss Kansas… the Aryan ideal for Miss America. Way to show you’re not racist, you fucking pigs. Hope the next President is Indian, just to see your twisted little porcine faces on racist Vines, decrying the loss of hegemony your shrinking little universe has.
Get over it, she is the essence of what America is. The beauty of our society, is that it’s so diverse, and doesn’t have a “face”. She is Miss America, she is beautiful, and won rightfully so. It’s awesome that she won, because it couldn’t have happened 25-30 years ago. America is awesome, and she is proof of that statement!
And they wonder why people hate backward ass Hillbillies like this. Very sad this women is lovely

Strongest and Sanest of Them All
I know the way you can get
When you have not had a drink of Love:
Your face hardens,
Your sweet muscles cramp.
Children become concerned
About a strange look that appears in your eyes
Which even begins to worry your own mirror
And nose.
Squirrels and birds sense your sadness
And call an important conference in a tall tree.
They decide which secret code to chant
To help your mind and soul.
Even angels fear that brand of madness
That arrays itself against the world
And throws sharp stones and spears into
The innocent
And into one’s self.
O I know the way you can get
If you have not been drinking Love:
You might rip apart
Every sentence your friends and teachers say,
Looking for hidden clauses.
You might weigh every word on a scale
Like a dead fish.
You might pull out a ruler to measure
From every angle in your darkness
The beautiful dimensions of a heart you once
Trusted.
I know the way you can get
If you have not had a drink from Love’s
Hands.
That is why all the Great Ones speak of
The vital need
To keep remembering God,
So you will come to know and see Him
As being so Playful
And Wanting,
Just Wanting to help.
That is why Hafiz says:
Bring your cup near me.
For all I care about
Is quenching your thirst for freedom!
All a Sane man can ever care about
Is giving Love!”
Hafiz
