Our
Hijab
The
hair is the crowning glory of every women.
Our long hair professes our beauty and most powerful of our
image.
Our eyes speaks louder than our voice.
Our voice speaks louder than our body.
Our body is the very case of our being.
Our softness is a blessing from Allah, the Creator.
But this beauty becomes a medium for sinful eyes.
Allah is indeed Merciful and our Protector.
Alhamdullilah for Hijab...Niqab...and Burqah...
Truly
the identity of every Muslimah. Hijab, a covering that implies
inner and outer modesty.
It is quite impossible to see the inside when one observe the
outside.
Hijab is not some kind of culture or racial identity.
Rather our hijab is the identity required by Allah.
"Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the
women of the
believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies
(i.e.
screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see
the
way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free
respectable women so as not to be annoyed.)" (Ahzaab 59)
A
Muslimah are accused of having a " fish brain "
because of our hijab.
We are accused of being a " terrorist " because of our
hijab.
We are accused of being an "oppressed "creature
because of our hijab.
We are accused of living our lives in the "past"
because of our hijab.
We are accused of being over protective of our body because of
our hijab.
We are accused of many thing because of our hijab.
Is this the reason why some of our claiming Muslimah abandoned
hijab? Without the hijab , we are completely stripped naked.
Without
hijab , we are completely oppressed and exploited.
Without hijab, we are disrespected by those sinful eyes.
Without hijab , we are treated just exactly as a non Muslim.
Without hijab, we lost our outer modesty, more so affects our
inner
modesty.
Without
hijab, we are susceptible in inviting sin ourselves. Hijab is
every Muslimah's shield.
The
very identity that tells a Muslimah that ," she is another
Muslimah",
one who pleases Allah by following his commandments.
Hijab
serves as a form of dawah for us.
It reminds another Muslimah that this is our true identity.
It reminds the whole world that a Muslimah is a unique
individual
incomparable to other women.
Hijab
is what makes a Muslimah.
The
very identity of the Muslimaat.
