; Give them some credit will you?

When I actually get some time to spend my nights on the internet, I'd log onto youtube and check out some swagging Hijabi sisters on their vlogs or hijab tutorials or say outfit and fashion videos. I've been on youtube for ages and though I am not as active nowadays compared to how I used to last time, I still do see them keyboard warriors spamming people's profiles.


One of my biggest pet peeves is when MUSLIMS start to criticise their fellow brothers and sisters in their "attempts" of making da'wah. I see sisters commenting on these youtube stars' channels telling them how they deserve to be stoned to death because they are showing off their faces on the internet and cracking jokes and "encouraging their sisters to be wearing things they are not supposed to".

Look I can understand how maybe some sisters tend to reduce the value of the hijab to a mere fashion statement or say, they accesorise themselves to an extend that the hijab loses it's modest value but who are you judge them of their intentions.
Even if you do not agree with the way they wear the scarves or the way they dress there is no need for you to publicly humiliate them with your seemingly religious opinions. If you are genuine about wanting to make them realise then you should probably send them a private message. There has to be some sort of respect even if you wish to correct someone.

Also, have you any idea how many sisters have been motivated to wear the hijab because of them?

Give them some credit will you? This could be their form of da'wah to promote the hijab.

If we judge our own sisters and start creating fitnah and be critical of their intentions then who are they to rely on for protection? Who are they to rely on for support?
