If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly. Or yet if I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be.

WHAT SUCCESS MEANS

Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar

I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.

He handed me a laminated card and said:

A WORD OF ADVICE FOR ALL MUSLIM SISTERS AND MOTHERS

I witnessed a scenario last week and am compelled by the spirit to share it in order to prevent a future occurence. I was in the consulting room when a neonate (Baby) was  brought in on emergency. She was strapped to her mother's back who was in full hijab. On observation, the baby was discovered B.I.D, the medical refferal letter read that the baby had Respiratory Disorder. Poor little saint lost there!
The baby would have gotten to the hospital alive and placed on oxygen but the mother unknowingly and following religious inclination covered the baby up in hijab and travelled a long distance to the specialist hospital.
MY CANDID ADVISE is that our Muslim sisters and mothers should have a zipper at the back of their hijab in order for the baby's head to be out for fresh and adequate air.
Maa Salam.
Pls help share this information.
