Shereen habib2023-03-21Thank you, Zubayr, for sharing such a human story that relates to all cultures across the globe ... people need to be a bit more sensitive in what they say ... it's about how you make another person feel that is so important in life. It takes just a littl
Yahya2023-03-21Lekkerr writing!
Ja-nee, humans can be cruel around/about many issues?
Made me think of an old African saying ...
"Die man wat homself baie VET smeer moet maar pasop virrie leeu!!"

Peni Dodo2023-03-21Thank you for this beautiful and relatable piece. Suma feel closer to you after reading this. 🥺 You are SO much more than a size of clothes or a number on the scale. Your gentle and kind manner, wisdom and the care you have for others are a just a few
Sandra Botha2023-03-21Zubayr, jy slaan die spyker op die kop! Goed geskryf. Ek kry dit van jongsaf – eers was ek te maer en nou is ek te vet – en die kommentaar kom van mense wat ver van perfek is.
Ntando Mbaliswana2023-03-21Yet another piece that speaks to and with the readers, thank you for this, and I hope you keep on writing more of these beautiful pieces. 🙏🏼
Gayle2023-03-21Thank you for sharing your story so eloquently and honestly. I think it can help people to become aware of the effect their thoughtless words can have.
As you write so well, perhaps it may be helpful to prepare yourself with some good responses to hav
Mishkah Bassadien2023-03-21Wow, well done Zubair; what a beautiful piece of writing, Masha Allah. I especially enjoyed it, because I relate to your experience. I have struggled with weight all my life, especially since all my siblings and cousins were very "slim". One family member
SAP ANC Manewales2023-03-21Ja-nee. Ek ry al jare die N1 tussen Centurion en Montana. En sien byna nooit ’n polisie- of metropolisie-voertuig nie. Gister op 20 Maart 2023 tel ek 10 polisievoertuie op daardie stuk pad, meestal BMW's. Nou ja toe né.
Gigi2023-03-20Oi! A guy I went to school said the same thing to me years ago (when I was in my forties), he even stuck out his tongue like he wanted to vomit. Saying "you had such a nice figure in school". Idiot, I was a teen then with a teeny figure. Currently I lost
Mariam Soeker Ismail2023-03-20Salaam, absolutely brilliant, Zubayr! Masha Allah, I'm elated and proud of you, my dear, that you have found your path in life, Alhamdulillah!
Abieda Charles2023-03-20Zubayr, your beautifully written essay of the mindlessness of the people who caused you hurt is most unfortunate and a reckless lack of care towards your feelings.
It is ironic that the increase of body weight, for some people, has absolutely nothing
Imraan Essack2023-03-20Absolutely fantastic topic! Well written ... I enjoyed reading every bit, laughing and tearful at the same time. A lot of us can actually relate to this article ... Zubayr left me with a heavy feeling of nostalgia! It's always so refreshing reading your a
Maria c a Vasconcelos2023-03-20Hi Zubayr!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it is a wonderful way to teach us, because you never know when we are touching someone feelings.
I really learn from you.
God bless your life and keep you in this lovely activity, namely w
Ebrahim Williams2023-03-20Excellent piece of writing. Good advice to most Muslim men to take pride in our own appearance, rather than just expecting our wives to look good. On the issue of the unsavoury comments, it is unfortunately worse than just fat shaming. Capetonians, and in
Juanita van Vuuren2023-03-20I have a friend, I've known her since I was 4! She has struggled with her weight her whole life. One day a young man walked passed her and said: "Look, Mina Moo". She turned around and said: "I can loose weight, but you will always be ugly".
There is
Zandile2023-03-20Wow, I really enjoyed having this read. This is a powerful enlightenment, very impactful. A great life lesson shared, and thank you for being open and vulnerable to sharing this, most definitely not the easiest things to talk about.
Bilqees Baker2023-03-20Thank you for this very personal share Zubayr. I do feel that our community is not sensitive and will voice instantly about someone's physical features. It's not ok! Period! Thankfully younger parents are becoming more aware of its effect.
Alistair Hoffman2023-03-20Pragtig gestel, ek het ook klomp gewig opgetel en mense lewer elke dag kommentaar op my gewig. Al wat ek vir hulle sê dis seker die injection wat so maak.
