Synopsis

In this world where girls are often confined by societal norms, it's time to break free from those cages and embrace the power within. My book, "Daughters Not a Curse," is a heartfelt collection of verses that aims to empower and uplift girls who have been made to believe they are less than. It challenges the notion that the birth of daughters is a curse and instead celebrates their strength and potential.

Regardless of our religious beliefs, the message remains the same: daughters deserve love, care, and respect. In this book, I draw inspiration from the wisdom of Prophet Muhammad, who emphasized the importance of women's rights and their immense value.

Join me on this poetic journey as we celebrate the resilience of girls and work towards a society where daughters are cherished and their potential is recognized. Together, let's rewrite the narrative and create a brighter future where every girl is seen as a blessing.

It is not often that you come across such a passion for humanity in someone as young as Anila Bukhari. Her depth of empathy for others is astounding and very much alive through her poetry. We mustn’t take for granted the privileges we have, where we reside, and the freedoms that we have, because not everyone has those same luxuries.

That is not the way it should be. Freedom should not be a luxury. It should be a way of life. It should be part of the experience of simply being human. Men and women of all races, religions, and creeds should all be allowed to share the same basic human rights, but unfortunately, the world is disjointed. We are not as one, although we all breathe the same air, walk in the same rain, and all have the same needs.

Anila is brave in sharing her words, as any woman is when we show our true colors. We want to be heard, respected and allowed the same successes as everyone else. I sincerely hope that, either as a woman or a burgeoning one, you will be uplifted and empowered by the words within these pages. If you happen to be a man reading these words, I pray you find compassion, respect, and humbleness in them. May you find understanding for the feminine and see the strength that makes all women invaluable.
