Just a piece of cloth over my head?

Okay no, before you think I'm going to go on and on about how there are some Hijabees who do not dress appropriately. I'm not.


I think alot and sometimes it's really bad for my self esteem; other times, it has helped me through my sea of issues. So I was on the bus to school when a Junior College student boarded the bus and sat beside me.

She was dressed like every other JC student, in a short skirt and a short blouse with a haversack and a shoe bag.

I remember how exactly about a year ago I was so disappointed that I could not get into a desired Junior College and how afraid I was to go to school in my Hijab. Now as I sit and look at the girl in her short skirt and blouse and I tried imagining myself in it, I could not.
It was impossible to imagine myself being stripped away of my Hijab, my haya'.

It's not just about the hair and the legs and the hands. It's the neck & the ears too.

I've covered myself all up for quite a long time now and I don't think there'd be any reason good enough to make me give it all up.
Not even education/work insha'Allah.

Because my Hijab is not just a piece of cloth over my head.

A'qilah Saiere.

Nice post....

We all want to dress our best. I am proudly sometimes mention it to my non-muslim friends that Islam has given me the vision of MODESTY.

I know it is hot sometimes (where I live) and we want to wear as less cloths as we can but Muslims modesty is to wear full clothes and hide what is being prohibited by ALLAH to show in public.

I dont take HIJAAB...but I adore girls who choose to take hijaab.

Thanks for your nice thoughts.

hmm..

Though life lures me seldom, i never succeed in murdering this inaunidble voice inside. I am a Muslim and i am infatuated by this mere fact. Have i achieved incosistency between my sayings and beiefs frequently? Yes, however, i aspire agressively to maintaing religious balance.

I love Islam and those who represent it respectfully like yourself. Masha-allah, you're a great individual and i feel obliged to personally convey my absolute respect and appreciation.


May Allah sustain your faith with determination.

I do write about self-development related, relational, informative, religious, and personal expressions issues.
