Some of my close friends and relatives might get hurt with this post. But note, this is for everyone.. for every Muslima.
A year ago, I told myself, Im not gonna post any personal insights on social media for the reason that I don't want to be judge, since I don't like toxic comments in view of the fact that not all people would understand what's deep inside of our thoughts. We might have good intentions, but not everyone wants to hear the truth.
I'm not perfect, I make mistakes but I'm trying my best as much as I can to be the best that I can. I can't change the world and I can't change anyone, however, I'm here---right now facing my fear to remind you. That you are an honorable muslima.
We all have our reasons and excuses behind our actions. Still, these grounds and measures will be questioned by the one who have the power of over all things. So, hear me out, you might not have come across this post by coincidence.
Allah (swt) said in the Quran:
“O 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. And Allah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
[al-Ahzab 33:59].
Life can be cruel or fun and thrilling for you to take off your hijab in public. Even so, do you want to die without it?
Do you want to die without your hijab?
I remember this story from a muslim speaker, he said there was this woman on the ship with her husband.. and this ship was about to sink. As they ran away for their lives, she forgot to wear her hijab, however, this woman told her husband that she needed to go back to their room to get her hijab as she didn't want to die without it.
So, my sisters do you want to die without your hijab? We might not be ready to face death but we all know that it can come to us anytime. Are we ready to answer Allah why we took it off? Are we prepared for the consequences of our actions?
Are you aware that removing your hijab will open doors to something that we are going to regret someday?
You're an honorable woman Oh muslima! This world will come to an end and we will come to an end. So, preserve that beauty that Allah bestowed on us while we still have time.
You might say, I don't understand you and yes you're right, I don't. But know that Allah knows what we are hiding within our breasts. We can never have two personas, we are whether muslim or not, and our hijab, that scarf, that's the thing that can tell us apart from non-Muslims. So, who are you without it?
I remember this girl that I saw a month ago, she was wearing shorts and walking with her friends. Suddenly, they stopped, to do what? to wear her hijab and abaya. I was surprised and confused. So, I came to her and asked if she was a muslim and her answer was affirmative. I was so sad on that day to have witnessed that this is happening to our young Muslims.
Mothers, wearing our hijab in front of our kids and getting our daughters to get used to wearing hijab at a young age is not enough. We have to love it, we have to act beyond the beauty of it. The hijab is our identity. When we remove it, we're opening the door of fitnah. It is like we're telling the men, ''Here I am, come to me." Even though we didn't mean that, it is going to be the case, since we live in a time when men or boys are ready to touch us yet unwilling to marry us. We can be defensive that we are not going to entertain anyone, but those pictures with a smile without hijab are already an invitation.
Sisters, your hijab is not taking away your life, nor your future or career, it is you! who's taking it away the day you took off your hijab.
Sisters, I pray and advise you to wear your hijab, Allah is waiting for you, so come back to him.
