Muslim Girl Benched for Wearing Hijab During Basketball Game



On the court, the Lady Leopards of Smithsburg Middle School suit up in their shorts, tank top, and pony tail. But one member, a 12-year-old Muslim girl, has added apparel, a headscarf.

At Saturday's game, the referee made the girl sit out, saying the hijab, as it is known to Muslims, could choke her. The garment is worn as a sign of modesty.

Coach Mark Kershner was forced to bench her, even though the headscarf was not a problem the first five games of the season.

Ayataul Qursi
Glorified and Exalted is He.
Al Baqarah II: verse 255

Ayataul Qursi <br>Glorified and Exalted is He. <br>Al Baqarah II: verse 255
Allah, tiada Tuhan (yang berhak disembah) melainkan Dia, Yang Tetap hidup, Yang Kekal selama-lamanya mentadbirkan (sekalian makhlukNya). Yang tidak mengantuk usahkan tidur. Yang memiliki segala yang ada di langit dan yang ada di bumi. Tiada sesiapa yang dapat memberi syafaat (pertolongan) di sisiNya melainkan dengan izinNya. yang mengetahui apa yang ada di hadapan mereka dan apa yang ada di belakang mereka, sedang mereka tidak mengetahui sesuatu pun dari (kandungan) ilmu Allah melainkan apa yang Allah kehendaki (memberitahu kepadanya). Luasnya Kursi Allah (ilmuNya dan kekuasaanNya) meliputi langit dan bumi; dan tiadalah menjadi keberatan kepada Allah menjaga serta memelihara keduanya. Dan Dia lah Yang Maha Tinggi (darjat kemuliaanNya), lagi Maha Besar (kekuasaanNya)

Infallible Wisdom

The Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny) said:

"Allah rejoices at the repentance of His servant more than the barren rejoices for having a child, and more than the lost one who finds his way, and more than the thirsty one who finds water."

(Kunzul Ummal)
