Modelling and Islam

Lots of people have often asked me why i model when i am a muslim. Most are confused about my religion and often are surprised to know that i promote my face for money. I have had numerous vicious threats made to me, insulting remarks and comments that have all led to my success today.

Islam encourages women to fend for themselves, be educated and create inspiring knowledge to spread to others. It is one of the fairest religions in the world, tarnished by a few who shouldn't even belong to this validity. It is a shame that many see modelling as a disrespectful job and i have "lost" many people i once knew because they assume i sell my body for money. No. That is PROSITITUION. I do NOT sell my body to men in exchange of gifts or cold cash.

I model. And modelling is wearing a garment or donning accessories, that are then photographed either for magazines or campaigns. I have my full respect whilst doing my job and i am very proud of what i have achieved through my own hardwork and numerous people's support-I am truly thankful. I am more spiritual than religious and my motto is Live and Let Live. Due to the fact that it is ONLY GOD that is able and willing to judge in a correct manner.

Islam has given and shaped a way of life and righteousness for me through which i am able to spread love, respect and inspiring talent to other women who feel bound perhaps through culture or religion itself.

In itself- I am proud to be both. A Muslim and a Model.
