The day after the attack, the 14-year-old said she imagined people would expect answers from her.
"As I walked out the door at 8:15 as I usually do and as I saw the familiar faces of my everyday endeavors I wondered what they were thinking I tried my best and walked on smiling, hoping for smile back."

She goes on telling how another schoolgirl asked her where she was during the aftermath of the tragedy.

"Every Saturday I pass through Westminster and I had to think twice about it this time. I was scared that maybe I would be assaulted because of the many labels that come with wearing a hijab..."
The letter was praised by other Muslims on Reddit who sympathised with the girl's situation:
