IoL-8: 🌸 A Letter to My Sisters: Love, Truth, & the Traps Around Us

1. Dedication

This one is for my sisters — the ones who cry silently at night, the ones fighting to balance deen with dunya, the ones tired of being told how to think, dress, love, and even dream. 

You are not forgotten. 

You are seen by Allah, and His mercy surrounds you more than you can ever imagine.


2. The Current State of Muslim Women

Our generation of Muslim women is walking through fire. Social media teaches us to compare our beauty. Netflix scripts our desires. Fake “brothers” pretend to care, just to use us. And even within our own communities, we often feel unseen, unprotected, unheard.

But here’s the truth: the pain you feel isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign that your Fitrah, your pure heart, is resisting the cage of Dajjalic lies.


3. The Story of Maryam (AS)

Think of Maryam (AS). Alone, abandoned by people, yet chosen and honored by Allah. Her strength wasn’t in chasing validation. 

Her strength was in her surrender to Allah, even when the world mocked her. She showed us that being unseen by people can mean being deeply seen by Allah.


4. Manipulation by Fake Caring-Bros

We’ve all met them — the “bro” who says “I’m different”, “I care for you more than others”, but in reality? He’s just trying to make you slip. 

He wraps sin in softness, poisons you with false promises, and then leaves you with guilt while he moves on. Sisters, the one who truly cares for you will knock on your family’s door, not your DMs.


5. Warning About Dajjalic Traps

Dajjal’s system doesn’t attack you with horns and fire. It attacks with Netflix romances, TikTok trends, K-dramas, and Bollywood songs. 

It feeds you a story that looks harmless, but slowly rewires your heart against Allah’s commands. If we don’t wake up, we’ll start calling sin “normal” and Allah’s mercy “oppression.”


💔 Section Flow: How Bollywood Taught Us to Hate What Allah Made Lawful

Hook: Emotional Reflection

Growing up, I saw how Shah Rukh Khan taught everyone what love means.
But even as a kid, I felt something was off. 

My heart didn’t align with the obsession, the sin, the overdramatized heartbreak. I didn’t learn love from Bollywood. Perhaps, Allah made me wait for learning the actual truth from the Qur’an.


Point Out the Pattern

  • Premarital love? → Romanticized.

  • Extramarital affairs? → Justified by passion.

  • Marriage? → Boring, dry, or villainized.

  • Multiple wives? → Demonized or made into a joke.


Impact on the Muslim Psyche

Even practicing sisters can feel rage at the idea of polygyny. Not because it’s unjust, but because it doesn’t match their brainwashed & programmed expectations. We’re told to cheer for zina in films but to mock Allah’s mercy in marriage law. That’s the programming working on us.


Contrast with Islamic Truth

  • Polygyny is lawful, wise, mercy-based.

  • The Prophet ï·º practiced it with perfect justice.

  • Real love is obedience to Allah, not obedience to feelings.


Emotional Punchline

Bollywood gave us butterflies.
Islam gives us barakah.

Which one are you trusting with your future?


🌹 Closing Dua
Ya Allah, protect my sisters from every trap of Shaytan. Grant them the strength of Maryam (AS), the wisdom of Khadijah (RA), the purity of Fatimah (RA), and the courage of Aasiyah (RA). 

Let them taste the sweetness of halal love and the peace of Your pleasure. Ameen.
