Rasool Allah (s.a.w) of course is every Muslim’s role model, every step of the way. But I see his teachings translated into a female role model in the person of his wife, Ayesha (r.a). When I started reading about her life in-depth, the many dimensions of her personality fascinated me. Not only was she one of the leading narrators of the ahadith of the Prophet (s.a.w), but also a brilliant orator and scholar. Her home was like a university and she used every minute of the 48 years she survived after the Prophet (s.a.w) to serve Islam. In addition, she was a mother figure to hundreds of orphans and was known for her charitable acts. She is truly my role model as a woman.
Fatima (r.a), the daughter of Rasool Allah (s.a.w) is another role model for me. Her piety and her excellence as a role model for Muslim women in the capacities of daughter, sister, wife and mother are truly motivating. Her virtues and the love of Rasool Allah (s.a.w) for her make her my role model.

So I decided to go back.
But that was also an utterly fruitless effort. People had already gathered behind me in a long line and there was no chance for me to go back. I looked hopelessly to my right and then to my left but, to my dismay, all I could see were rows and rows of men and there was absolutely no place to go.
I was stuck.
And then to my dismay they called the Adhaan. And it was then that I started to panic. All I wanted to do was to find a nice spot to pray, but here I was, stuck in the middle of the crowds with absolutely no place to even move an inch!
How could I pray at that spot in the middle of all the m
