Khadijah: What do you think about modesty in today's world?

Anisa: their is none we are told one of the signs are that women will be dressed but naked and all you have to do is look around ... i teach my children this is not the best way and that a woman is like a queen and should be treated like so and if you showing all then how would you be expected to be treated

Khadijah: If you could tell your non-Muslim friends 3 things about Islam, what would they be ?

Khadijah: What kind of advice would you give to those who attack Islam and slander our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ?

Anisa: learn about the man first before you say something and understand his way ... how he dealt fairly even to non muslim and maybe by that you would learn something that will help you in your life
