‘Love InshAllah‘ editor Ayesha Mattu writes a love letter to Muslim fathers on Father’s Day at The Huffington Post:

‘All of my life, Muslim men — from my father to my uncles, from my cousins to my friends — are the ones who have nurtured, supported and protected me. They’ve cheered every success, inspired me to push higher with my personal and professional ambitions, and believed in me even when — especially when — I did not believe in myself.

I’m married to an utterly irresistible Muslim man who makes me laugh, respects and cherishes me as an equal partner. I’m the mother of a Muslim son whom we are raising with the Islamic values that will make him a strong advocate of women’s rights, just like his father and the other Muslim men in my life.

So this Father’s Day, I’m writing a love letter to Muslim fathers.’
