  1. I am really looking forward to letting my daughters and son see my hear this interview. This sister is very uncensored and open. I appeciate her balance and boldness. It was worth the time too listen.

  2. Well what mother of Islam did this? The quran clearly stats music as being haram. Then what help is this to Islam? Why not just rap and don’t involve Islam. This is no justice for Muslims to progress. I ask Allah to better all of are situations Amin !!

  3. Miss Undastood is the 1st lady of Islamic Rap and she is under rated and a pioneer at the same time. I had the chance to see her perform in London, Paris, Sweeden and Dublin in Ireland.

    I want my daughter to listen to people like her not other so called rappers.

    Bless and keep on doing your thing!!!

    1. Jhangir: #1 It is well established in Islam that all matters not related to ibadah are considered halal and there must be a proof presented for someone to say that “such and such” is haram. Thus the question is for the questioner.

      Thank you for visiting the site and please suggest to others. I welcome all respectful comments. They need not agree with my perspectives.
