Who are you without hijab?

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.

How to get OMA certificate in Manila?

Assalamualaykum! Today, I will be sharing how to get a "Certificate of Muslim Filipino Tribal Membership" and a "Certificate of Confirmation of Conversion to Islam," also known as an OMA Certificate.   When I converted to Islam, I didn't have any idea about the OMA certificate until I decided to go to Saudi Arabia; that's the only time I discovered that I needed it for visa stamping.   I've written this because not everyone knows where to go or how to get it. The good news is that the OMA certificate is completely free! and you can have it in just 30 minutes. Now, let me guide you step-by-step on how to get it. Note :  The policy and process might change, as I have written this 2017 Comment down below if you have experienced a new policy; it will be very helpful to others.   Let's make sure first that you have all the requirements that you need.   For born Muslims; a xerox copy of Aqeeqa -xerox copy of passport - 1 piece of 2x

The Essential Role of a Muslim Woman in Society

I grew up in a small town where you’ll find mansions that were built at the time of the Spanish Colonial. These ancestral houses are captivating and still standing firm like the Mount Makiling that you’ll get a glimpse of from our balcony. This is my hometown where my grandmother raised me. My grandmother got married at a very young age to an older man who came from a well-off family. She was illiterate and could only write her name for signing legal papers. She sacrificed her early age to look after her younger siblings, which caused her not to attend school. But despite this, she is contemplative, selfless, affectionate, and a loving daughter. Even with her husband's problematic habits and age difference, she remained committed to being a dutiful wife. She neither disrespected her husband nor rebelled against him. Her passion for keeping the house tidy, and cooking delicious dishes are among her skills to please my grandfather, and I admire her for that. "Men are in charge o

Allah is sufficient

Wealth is everyone's dream and trial. Rich or poor, we all want and need money. And with this, Allah tests us. Will you remain grateful? patient? What do we do when we finally have it? Some of us desperately want this because we are tired of being mocked, belittled, and cut because we somehow have nothing to offer. But why do we want to please these people? When Allah himself doesn't like these individuals who prefer this world. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said: مَنْ كَفَرَ بِا للّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اِيْمَا نِهٖۤ اِلَّا مَنْ اُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهٗ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِۢا لْاِ يْمَا نِ وَلٰـكِنْ مَّنْ شَرَحَ بِا لْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَا بٌ عَظِيْمٌ "Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief, except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith, but those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment;" ذٰلِكَ ب
