I’m a 20 year old Muslim Egyptian girl
who was born and raised in Dubai. However, I visit my home country every
year (...). In my family, I’m the only girl who is not wearing a Hijab
and I get judged for that - 'a girl who doesn't fulfill her religious
duties'. It used to affect me before, but [their] words don’t really
define me! They don’t define the way I was raised knowing my religion,
and they don't define my relationship with Allah.
This
artwork displays the image of a non-Hijabi girl who is surrounded
by many books however she chose to read the Qur'an. (...) I was inspired by the style of
photography and writings of the Egyptian novelist, Ahmed Mourad.
