A New Muslim's Diary
Respect Us, Take off your Hijab
Isn'tย Mary the mother of Jesus/Isa. shown everywhere wearing the hijab, even in paintings, statues of her? I wish I'd said, "How is Mary the mother of Jesusย any different? How is it that you can respect her so much, yet you don't respect me?"
It has been slightly more than a month since I made the promise to Allah (s.w.t) that I'd be in hijab for good.ย I've come far from being concerned about physical appearances because I can now see the glow (Nur) in the faces of the women who are truly at peace and joy with their faith, and that is the most beautiful appearance of all because it shines from within.
The beautiful thing about being a woman in a hijab is that people know you are Muslim. I love wearing the hijab. But I can't seem to muster enough courage to do so.
You judge me by what's on my head, So convinced by the rumors which the channels spread. You call me imprisoned, you call me oppressed, merely because of the way I'm dressed. Howย little do you know about with what I've been blessed.
