1. My name is Sabika Batool. I live in Pakistan Karachi. I have done Masters in International Relations. I have studied in different Madressa's for about 6 years. I’m a school teacher I teach English and Maths. Apart from this, I used to teach in Madressa since I was in class 8. I taught for about 8 years. Now from past 6 months I have left teaching in Madressa. In madressa I used to teach Quran, Qirat, Namaz and fiqh. (in short the teachings of Ahlybait) God has given me the opportunity to visit Islamic places several times, such as IRAN, IRAQ, SYRIA, AND SAUDIA. Apart from this I have even traveled to Dubai, Mascot, Jordon and India.

2. Many challenges such as the challenge of hijab, The girl who goes to madressa or does the hijab has difficulty in getting married, people consider them as backward, even Shia people think like that. Lack of resources for the higher education. In Pakistan shia people are getting killed, problem of security, its a long list...

3. Well I don’t feel myself capable for giving advice to anyone...but still I will just say that always have faith in God and Imam...they will help you in your bad times and good times, and will show you the way...Only you should have blind trust on them.

4. There should be a plat form where all shia sisters can chat with each other, like a chat room or msn, and mails should be accepted in urdu as well.
