Hijab.

Published by RI_RS on 31 March, 2009 - 18:47

It's more than a piece of clothing, it's symbolic of faith.
It shows you're a Muslim and the risks you're willing to take
It shows you're not afraid to outwardly express your submission to Islam...
Some even claim it's integral to Ihsan.

It's clear that it's compulsory
and obligatory to all Muslim girls
and indeed thousands wear it.... all over the world.

But where does it say in the Qur'an...
that the Hijab makes you superior?
Or that you have the right to judge criticise and put down
all those you, for that reason, deem inferior?

In fact it's not ENOUGH to wear the Hijab...
you have to mean it too.
But who is anyone to judge?
Though it should be accepted, that that includes you too.

Whether she's bikini clad
or covered in a full body veil...
Explain how it's for YOU to say
Who is and isn't going 'straight to Hell'?

Did it cross your mind...that perhaps she KNOWS she's doing wrong?
That maybe she has her reasons
or all she needs is guidance.

But bitterness and humiliation serves only to push away...

and if you wear the hijab and recognise that you represent,
you could be pushing them away from more than just yourself.

You can argue that you don't WANT to represent more than yourself
but why in that case, would you speak for more than just you?

Why would you think that just because you feel a certain way
that so many others would do too?

Human perceptions are a wonderful thing, our senses can tell us so much...
but even that is restricted...to smell, taste, sound, sight and touch.

But the outer her that you see is not all of her.
The part of her that only God can see, you can't see quite as clearly...
And that, in itself, is the most important part.
That is, to sound cliche, what is in her heart.

I generally don't like poems. But this poem is an exception Wink I really liked it.

I love how its so different
usually when u get poems about hijab, its always about how great it is
whereas u have written that a woman shuld be judged for whats in her heart not necessarily what she wears, hijab or no hijab
it's fantastic
