About Missundastood State of the Ummah Address is Here!
Miss Undastood started writing at the age of 11. School life was very strict and so rap was a form of escapism. She started rhyming ciphers in the streets of New York, and began to battle in college. She became the first Female Battle Champion in 2003. She started off doing regular secular raps but while she was in college at the age of 18 she decided to do Islamic lyrics.
Back in the day Miss Undastood used to rap with Papoose on the streets of Brooklyn creating a buzz. She has battled Ali Vegas on the underground. She worked for the street team for Rockafella Records and has performed in clubs all over the United States. She has collaborated with many underground artists.
From the age of 18 onwards Miss Undastood got writers block. Everything that came to her was Islamic. ..People didn..t understand me... She says, hence her name Miss Undastood. In the beginning there was support from both Muslims and non-Muslims. Miss Undastood has support from many influential Islamic Imans from New York to California. Her Inspiration in Islam is Abdul Malik. She likes and respects his straightforward lectures.
Her first CD was recorded in 2002. It received critical acclaim. ..People were feeling the CD... The non-Muslim press were also very interested in her work. She did a TV programme called Cover Girl - Young Women..s Lives After 9/11. She has been interviewed by BBC radio1Xtra and the youth news programme BBC Newsround. In the United Kingdom Miss Undastood has an ever increasing fanbase.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said the best supplication
for forgiveness from God is: “O God, You are my Lord. There is no god
but You. You created me and I am Your servant and I try my best to keep
my covenant (of faith) with You and to live in the hope of Your
promise. I seek refuge in You from (any) evil done by me. I acknowledge
Your favors upon me and I acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for none
forgives sins but You.”
The Prophet added: "If somebody recites this during the day with
firm faith in it and dies on the same day before the evening, that
person will be one of the people of Paradise. And if somebody recites
it at night with firm faith in it and dies before the morning, that
person will (also) be one of the people of Paradise."
I pray my message finds you in the best of iman and in good health. Just wanted to stop by and say “I love you” dear Sisters, and to let you know I am thinking of you all. It is that time of year, to prepare for Ramadan. Alhamdulillah we’ve waited patiently and it is finally just within a week’s time! Insha’Allah many opportunities will arise to receive blessings from Allah ta’ala.
If I have offended, disrespected, done any harm, or have caused any of you distress, please forgive me. I had no intention to hurt anyone! O Allah! Make the months of Rajab and Sha'ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings. Ameen.
RAMADAN MUBARAK! O Allah, make our fasts the fasts of those who fast (sincerely), and our standing up in prayer of those who stand up in prayer (obediently), awaken us from the sleep of the heedless, and forgive us our sins, for you are Lord of the universe, the One who forgives the sinners.
May Allah ta'ala accept your fasting, prayers, and good deeds and may He guide, protect and bless you and your family in this life and in the next and protect you from the hell fire. Ameen
The Prophet said, "Allah said: The Fast is for Me and I will give the reward for it, as he (the one who observes the fast) leaves his sexualdesire, food and drink for My Sake. Fasting is a screen (from Hell) and there are two pleasures for a fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord. And the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better in Allah's Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No. 128, Vol. 3).
