Hijab and diamonds

LiL Avish —

Muslim women are always covered from head to toe and they are told to follow certain rules which are enforced upon them. Alot of people question why? We'll just imagine if you had a diamond would you want everyone touching and scratching it? NO! likewise girls are like diamonds to their parents. Parents make sure their diamond is not touched or scratched by covering, protecting and keeping their diamond safe. Therefore draw your veils over your heads and guard your modesty. Just imagine the ummahatul Mumineen sacrifised their life for the hijab and we cannot even keep it on our head, never mind sacrifise. "Purify yourself inward and out, in order to reach the level of truth."

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms (and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex) and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

"Hijab is my identity."

A bit like a blog i posted a while ago:

“Think of it this way. Women are God's special creations. They are like diamonds."

Now, you don't want to wrap and protect a precious diamond in some trashy see-through material, do you?
It does not live up to the reputation or value of a diamond. Instead, you would do so in a small nice opaque pouch made out of soft velvet.
This way, not only do get to hide it away from wandering eyes for safety, you also get to give the diamond the treatment it deserves.
