Who Do You Respect?

Much respec’ to Hijab Haven for keepin’ it real with a reminder about the true basis of respect - yo (ahem):

We tend to find that we need to respect people who are smarter than us, those who are older, more qualified or have more experience. We feel we need to respect men and women who demonstrate leadership skills, those who are higher-paid, those who have been around alot longer. They all command respect. […] However, how do they command your respect - is it through haughtiness, dictatorship, arrogance, snootiness, the bling-bling of their sportscar’s headlights as they wave goodbye to you while you are waiting in line for a bus?

  1. assalamu’alaykum,
    It was just a thought-doodle when I wrote this. Thanks for picking it up - I guess it means much more.

    It was a great reminder sis, masha’Allah, even if it wasn’t intended to be. ;)
