Masha allah hows ur medicine career right now?

I wish u all the best karima and dont be discouraged by ur grades. Pray about it and trust Allaah to make it work for u. Salaam Feyzanur, sorry for the late reply. As a muslima two issues usually come as a barrier in most cases. The fact that u are a woman and secondly wearing the hijab. Funny enough i came into med school timid and left bold Masha Allaah because i realised along the years that my status as a muslim woman is such an esteemed role that not all women have been chosen by Allaah to become. My advise is never abandon ur hijab for anything or anyone no matter what. It was easy for me though because i am in an environment where majority of the populace practice islam. Nevertheless if u find urself in a place where u are the only muslima, still wear ur hijab. And trust me girl its so pretty worn with the white coats that i look forward to making new viels and hijabs just for my ward coats. :).
As regards social, family and spiritual life, studying medicine was a booster for my deen Alhamdulillaah. It exposes you to the reality of life where people like you are struggling with one ailment or the other. I can write so much about this life changing experience dear sister. It all starts, continues and ends with Allaah! Follow the sunnah as much, purify ur intention and let urself breath. May Allaah’s will be done in our lives. Amin. Good luck to all!

Firtstly ProductiveMuslim great interview, thank you for that!
Salam Aeesha, me myself as a muslima interested in pursuing medicine next year would be happy to hear about your experiences in this subject. Was it difficult for you to study and practice medicine while wearing hijab and is a successfull combination of family, work, and spiritua/social life possible? Thanks in advance.
