That Covered Girl


I want to ask you all what views you have for a girl in hijab? Conservative? Reserved? Shy? Uneducated? Or something else?

But have you ever thought why would she cover her whole body at a time when half the world has no problem showing there legs? Why would she cover her hair when more than half the world is ready to flaunt their shining hair? Why would she wear a black robe and go out instead of wearing fancy clothes like all other girls?

They have the choice to flaunt there figures and their gorgeous hair in front of the world, but they choose to hide it, why?

Ever thought how strong and daring she must be to stand against the fashion of the world and cover herself up? Ever thought how strong her faith in her lord would be when she is obeying his rules of living,believing in him and neglecting the way of modern styling or body flaunting? Ever sensed how strong she must be to cover herself and walk in the street full of ladies who dont have problem in showing there bodies? Today, people generally follow the crowd or the fashion magazine, but she doesn't! Why? Because she is following her heart, which believes in its lord.

In islam, a woman is asked to stay covered, not because she is weak or she is inferior to men, but because she's strong in her own ways but respects Allah above all. She covers herself to protect herself from the gazes of people around her.

Women in islam are considered pure and chaste and therefore, Allah has asked them to dress and behave modestly in public and in front of the men who aren't close relatives. The aura of privacy created by hijab is indicative of the great value Islam places upon women. However, if a woman is wearing hijab but using bad language at the same time, she would not be fulfilling the requirements of hijab.

Wearing hijab is a choice, just like showing your body is! While those who seek to ban hijab refer to it as a symbol of gender based repression, the women who choose to don a scarf, or to wear hijab, in the broadest sense of the word, do so by making personal decisions and independent choices. They view it as a right and not a burden. Nor do these women regard hijab as a sign of oppression. Women who wear hijab often describe themselves as being “set free” from society’s unrealistic fashion culture.

She also has the same red blood running in her veins that you have, she also has the same heart which you have! Then why we discriminate between a hijabi and a non-hijabi? She is only covering her body, not her mind. She might be more logical and loving than the girl you saw in shorts last night!

I had no intention of offending any other non-hijabi but I wrote this article to spread the voice of thousands of my hijabi sisters who don't get the opportunity to tell their views about their dressing to the world.

Hope I succeeded. Thanks for reading my article.

Spread love.
