I love the Halal market here in Montgomery...called Bismillah. Everyone there is very gentle and helpful with me when I have questions about Islamis Dietary restrictions. There's SUCH a huge variety of people there. Lifelong Muslimas, converts (or reverts depending on who you talk to), women who cover and women who don’t, Americans and immigrants.
So I’m having it explained to me why Dove soap is not Halal by the store owner and am next to a nice lady in an Abaya and Chador who is horrified by the reasoning behind the Dove Soap problem..as she has been using it for some time. I'll admit to being grossed out as well.
These conversations usually end up including every woman in the store and here are some of my favorite quotes. These are not to diminish the faith and effort these women put into the practice of Islam each day. I just find them funny, and realistic, and definitely am glad to make the connection between us, as I have had thoughts or questions in these directions too:
"Oh dear, I hate to throw that away, it was expensive. Maybe I should just ask for forgiveness and never buy it again?"
"Oh yes, we try to make sure we use something before it winds up in the book. It's not Haram until someone says it is right? I mean remember Kraft cheese."
"Haha! I remember pulling the bacon off of Filet Mignon thinking that was halal." (This one just slayed me. I loved it because it sounds like something I would do.)
About her Hijab, "Are you kidding me? I love this thing. I never have bad hair days anymore."
These women have such an easy view on their faith, they remind you that women in hijab aren't oppressed.
