Why wearing Hijab is good (Lawan RPK punya dakyah)

Reasons for wearing the hijaab

[compilation from various muslimahs]

1.     Because the Qur’an and Sunnah states so. Allah ordered us to wear the hijab and cover up to protect ourselves so we get the proper respect we deserve and not be treated like we are a piece of meat.

2.     American soldiers walk around the city with their army uniforms with pride. Well I want to walk with the uniform that Allah (swt) has assigned to me with pride!

3.     You get a lot of respect in the hijab from all your brothers and sisters and other people, than you did before your hijabi days 

4.     You can wear whatever you like under the abayah, light and cool dresses are good. 

5.     Despite that this world has hot weather, HELL IS HOTTER, so you rather suffer a bit on this world than the Hereafter. 

6.     No bad hair days to worry about!.

 7.      People know that you’re a Muslim. You can distinguish yourself in this society. This is not in order to show off, but you can influence other Muslim women to do it and can attract good Muslim women to become your friend and also catch the attention of a pious Muslim man to come and ask for your hand in marriage. 

8.      Your hair isn’t exposed all kinds of crappy pollution and UV rays.

 9.  Only the people you want to see your awrah, will see it…not every wierdo walking on the street. 

10.  Your skin is protected under the abayah 

11. No bugs in your hair (no having to worry about catching nits from other people!) 

12.  You won’t have to waste time in the morning deciding on the perfect outfit in the morning, if you wear jilbab. 

13. Because you know your beautiful and you can keep all that beauty to yourself. You are like a diamond. Diamonds are only shown to special and specific people. It is not something to be worn around at all times and shown to everybody no matter who they are. 

14.  No one dares to mess with a hijabi sis while taking a walk. 

15. You will feel closeness to every muhajabah you see on the road and to every Muslim you ever encounter 

16. The inner feeling of peace you get when you wear it 

17. Little girls look up to you, and want to be like you.

 18. When guys see you, they respect you, they cross the street so they don’t pass by you and offend you. 

19. Because most pious brothers WON’T EVEN CONSIDER marriage with a non-hijabi (caution: your intention for wearing hijab should still be to observe the command of Allah) 

20. Because there’s more freedom in deciding who gets to see you rather than having anyone look at you and your beauty. 

21. People treat you for your mind not your body. In the sense that you succeed in things (ie. job because of your performance and intelligence and not because how short your mini skirt is. 

22. Because Muslims are required to practice Islam in every aspect of your life including everyone, not just nuns like in Christianity or only on Saturday for Jews, or only Sunday for Catholics all of whom cover on those days. Muslimahs should respect God at all times. 

23. Beauty fades eventually, and with hijab people learn to love your inner beauty without the hinderness of your outer beauty. 

24. Your husband and loved ones learn to appreciate your beauty both outside and in more, and these tend to be the most important people in your life of which you grace those special people with your gifts from Allah. 

25. You are a shining example how women in Islam are so highly respected and valued and powerful in Islam. For example you are no mans trophy to adorn his hand, you are a companion, mother and friend of the insha’Allah religious brother who appreciates you and your beauty. There are other things where this applies as well. 

26. It keeps you warm in the winter. You don’t have to worry about trying to keep a hat on to stop your ears from freezing up! Plus the head is medically known for the place where a HIGH level of heat is released from the body! 

27.  Long Lasting. Hijab protects your hair for longer and keeps it shiny, healthy and in good condition. 

28.  Every time a man looks at me because I am not wearing hijab I would be getting sins because I would be helping the man committing a sin by looking at me (Surah 24:30)

 

 

“Islam is in my heart, I don’t need to wear hijaab to show off!” (sama la dgn dalil ‘aku x smyg/pose, tapi hati baik)

 

Ni jawabnye : 

 

In order to obtain salvation, a person must combine faith and action, belief and practice. Faith without doing good deeds is as insufficient as doing good deeds without faith. I can use the same argument and say “Well I don’t have to pray or fast, I love Allah in my heart”

 

The hijab is as obligatory as Salah and fasting on the Muslimah. Allah (swt) always commands to do combine faith and actions.

Tell me how does it feel

How does it feel,
To treat me like you do?
When you’ve laid your hands upon me,
And told me who you are?

I thought I was mistaken,
I thought I heard your words;
Tell me how do I feel?
Tell me now how do I feel?

Those who came before me,
Lived through their vocations.
From the past until completion,
They will turn away no more.

And I still find it so hard,
To say what I need to say.
But Im quite sure that you’ll tell me,
Just how I should feel today.

I see a ship in the harbor;
I can and shall obey.
But if it wasnt for your misfortunes,
Id be a heavenly person today.

And I thought I was mistaken,
And I thought I heard you speak;
Tell me how do I feel?
Tell me now how should I feel?

Now I stand here waiting….

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach.
Tell me how does it feel?
When your heart grows cold?

 

How does it feel?

 

How should I feel?

 

Tell me how does it feel?

 

When you treat me like you do?
