Even though I am not a Mohajaba but this really got to me and I thought I could share it with u guys

In the Name of Almighty Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful




THE ELEGANT HIJAB





The pea is a splendid plant. It proudly displays its strong green Hijab. It protects it from the hot and cold weather and guards it from insects. Allah has blessed the pea with a special Hijab, because without it, the seeds would scatter, dry up and die.



The orange keeps itself within its shiny orange Hijab to protect its delicious fruit. Otherwise it-looses its taste too.



So are the banana, the coconut and the pomegranate. Each one has an elegant and unique Hijab, which protects it from disease and destruction.



The jewel of the sea, the pearl, has been given a very tough and rugged Hijab - oyster shell. It protects it from sea animals and keeps it sparkling and shining inside.



However, the most beloved of Allah in all His creation is the Muslim girl who wears the Hijab. She knows it is a gift from Allah. It protects her from harm, injury and mischief. She wears it knowing it gives her dignity, beauty and respect. So precious she can be that she hides herself beneath her Hijab.

Do you wear a Hijab? Give it a try today

To me hijab is nothing but a cultural costume:eek:

What are you waiting for then, yo know you are doing something "haram" and continue doing it. Allah give human time to relize and correct the sins they are doing before they die. And do we receive a warning letter 1 year or 1 month or even 1 day before angel "3izrael" comes to us to take our souls. The answer is No. So each one should be ready for that day, because no return to this life.

iam not compeletly ready
I will do it for myself and for god and that is between myself and rabby ....
I wouldnt wanna wear it , then take it off or even be slack about it ....
when iam completely sure I will inshallah.
its a huge step and i wouldnt want to rush into it then become WORSE by not obliging myself to it in the correct manner that is why .....

Hijab is not the only concern in islam. You urself face hundreds if not thousands of sins every day so we shouldnt only concentrate on the LOOK but the SOUL and the NIYA
u can be a mohajaba and a total hypocrite about it
I see this in daily lives and personally know ppl like that and I wouldnt wanna be one of them

so inshallah allah yihdy el jamee3 o inshallah one day I will post here that iam a Mohajaba ....

homeless....only wear it when ur ready....I know ppl around u are pressuring u .....but the hell with them.....and as u said its between u and god and its nobody elses buisness

thank u qais
I appriciate that

You need to understand why you're wearing it, that's the whole point.

I've been wearing it for as long as I can remember, probably more than 12 years, and I'm really happy with it and wouldn't dream of taking it off ever!

Homey, thanx for your reply, I can see your point but just want to discuss with you what you said (if it's ok with you). :)

Why don't you think it's a huge step, what would you lose by wearing it?

Maybe because I still hope it is not FARDH that is why it is a huge step
I wouldnt wanna wear it and have regrets

why arent I completly ready? Because I cant imagine myself with it yet that is why

Iam sorry iam just being honest
it doesnt make me a bad muslim but iam just not up for the idea yet o allah yihdy el jamee3 inshallah

and no icey I dont mind at all ...

I started wearing the Li7af/hijab and i can tell ya its a hassle, but the thing is to me its a step by step procedure. i used to wear it on my shoulder then i used to place it on my head and if it fell so Ok.....eventually i moved to closing it half (you know front hair showing) and now fully covered. I still consider it a process since i am not fully covered if i feel that i am not comfortable wearing it i take it off, but i know in the end its going to be on for as long as i am conceived it the right thing to do.

The funny thing is ppl see me around and they say ‘You are wearing the hi7af?’ or ‘Are you preparing for Ramadan?’ sometimes I take it and smile other time I just give it back to their face.

I guess what I am saying is no one should force ya to wear it and when the time is right you will on your own.

Ok you are having doubt that it might be not a must, if that is the case then the profet Mohammed PBUH wives would not wear it. But becasue it's clearly stated in the Quran as an order for women to wear it then it's become "FARDH" and not option. Another thing if it's not "FARDH" then all women in the world will drop it.

Such feelings and ideas are expected, because remember the role of the Iblees "Satan" is to take everybody with him to his route to the the hell. Thats why such ideas coming to you when you think about wearing it, so just be strong and stand against Iblees desires.

Allah will decide who is a bad muslim and who is a good muslim, but remember the two angels sitting on your side writing good and bad deeds, for sure you want to give the angel on the left a long break as possible and make the right angel busy :)

Ice tea PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont explain what I say in the wrong concept. I KNOW IT IS FARDH and I belive that too
I said that I hoped it wasnt ( thats me speaking ) but in general I KNOW IT IS FARDH

Im sorry but I hate it when some one analyzes or explains something I say the wrong way .....

No that is your devil speaking not you.

I agree with Homeless. You shouldn't be forced to wear it, you should understand the whole "point" of wearing it and accept it. Frankly speaking I think praying, fasting.. etc are more important than just covering ur hair. Covering your hair should be a sign that you are a good muslim who has reached the stage where you do everything that is a must in Islam.

There are so many girls around who dont pray, talk about people non-stop, who are hypocrites and MUCH WORSE, who cover their hair! Is the head-scarf the only thing they care about?! If you have enough faith to make you wear the head scarf then you should also do everything else that is compulsory in Islam (Praying, etc).

To me hijab is nothing but a cultural costume

As Seham has mentioned above, her and many other women just wear it for the sake of the society. They think that wearing a head-scarf will make them gain peoples respect. I dont blame them! I mean everyone is pressuring you into wearing the scarf, and you miss the whole point of wearing it. There are many people who I know who wear the scarf in Oman and as soon as they leave they remove it. Personally, I wear a scarf because my dad asked me to, and I'm not against it, but I dont FULLY believe in it. :sorry: . What I believe in are the more important issues, such as praying. Just my opinion!

i want to know why is it so hard for us girls to wear the hijab? what is so difficult in not showing your hair.?

I am not accusing anyone i just want to udnerstand the concept of why it is so difficult that is all..

I think it's because people expect certain/different things from you when you start wearing it.

for example, If you're used to talking to boys, going to parties, or basically things like that, after you start covering your hair permanently ofcourse you can't do that. It sounds silly, but I know for sure that that's how some people I know think and say.

I've heard a lot of my friends say stuff like these when you ask them why they don't want to it7ajjab.

"Oh, but then I won't be able to go to parties.."
"I can't hang out with the guys anymore"
"I look weird"
"I like wearing jeans and short t shirts, I can't do that"

I know that these are small things that sound really stupid, but I guess in time as you get older you realize how silly you were being with those kind of thoughts.

I think that 7ijab is the last step. The first thing is to pray and get used to doing everything else, and when you're done with that you should cover your hair to show that you are a TRUE muslim.

Exactly!!!;)

True you should not be wearing the Hijab but a hypocrite inside. Don't take this step unless your convinced its the right thing for you. There is no going back once its done

I will tell you why, because girls think they look very beautiful and more attractive when they let their hair open to eveybody in the street. They enjoy seeing the wolf eyes eating them from top to bottom.

You are making it sound as if the girl will know she will live for 70 years for example, so she is making a schedule as when to do what with regard to her religion. Wake up from your dream girls, you won't know when your hour will reach.

well Tice has got a point there..how do you know for long you will live in order to say such things?

the saying"dont postponed todays work to tomorrow"

WELL SAID

im still not ready for todays work then .....

As Seham puts it ... its more cultural than Islamic.

And Homeless, I don't see any point in why you should be worried if you're satisfied with the 'goodness' you've done, in this life ;)

Thats not a reason Icy i for one have been complimented since i started wearing the hijab. You can have your hair down/up or covered and you will still be ogled on the streets

Thats true the girl wearing the hijab in fact will look more beautiful, but it's a respected beautiful and not a pretended one. If you are following your religion rules then no need to worry about other people around you, just think about yourself only.

I am not worried about myself cause i know ME. i am worried about the eye popping men who notice anything moving around them.:eek:

yeah just laugh and keep on laughing stupid clown ..

what can we do ...

they think that death will come when they are good and ready .

Says who?! The Koran mentioned clearly that it is required, now you can twist that to what you want to belive but we all know the truth. It has become a part of culture BECAUSE it is a part of Islam.

I really hate this controversy over hijab, I'd like to see one of these women who think they don't have to wear it try going to Haj without it, or even pray.

Homeless, from a muslim girl to another, from my heart to yours... you put that on only when you are fully ready but don't waste time wondering if it's right or not, deep in your heart you know the answer, you don't have to question us. Ask Allah to guide you.

And for all those people who are telling her and other young women like her, that it isn't necessary, you'll have your sin and hers too remember that.

Enigma as I mentioned before I do know its right
And I do know it is a fardh and we should all wear it
But as u said, I should only wear it when im completely ready and I am not so I dont want to take this huge step then take it off later on -2asta'3fur allah

Just remember Homeless....you might not be ready when Allah takes you, just like that Stupid guy just mentioned.

I never mind advices but advice have to be Na9ee7a 9a7ee7a just like urs. Not the way how others attact u and accuse of this or that ..
Anyway thx alot dear o inshallah khair o alla Yihdy el Jamee3

Enigma,

I was concentrating more on what the hijab looks like, and their design being cultural. If you dispute that, then I guess you're at odds with what I see Muslims in different parts of the world wear.

Muslims in India wear a face cover much different to what Muslims wear in US/Africa/M.E. etc.

Hence, cultural ... but basically came forth from the Quran.

Ahem. :bored:

Who’s seham to say that anyway?! God?! yes we all agree that was her opinion and we are here to respect what one has to say - but that does not mean what she said was 100% right?!!:rolleyes:

Hijab is not do with Culture - it was not even there on those days my dear - it is very much Islamic, whether one wants to believe it or not.

Plus i would still sit here and wonder why is it that hard for one to wear a Hijab?! -- what sort of Guarantee do we have that we will live till tomorrow.

You know what surprises me the most, is when you see A mother who is covered and all, and yet she actually encourages her daughters to wear all sort of too much skin showing cloth... plus she would actually tell them not to wear the Hijab... i really find that very strange!

If you are worried about men then don't give them the chance to do so by showing them your beauty otherwise it's considered to be "fitnah".

So now what??? Cover my face?!?! :eek:

I have done the main steps...
1. i have worn the abayya (not the open front one)
2. I am now wearing the 7jab (full hair covered)
3. i dont look at ppl and dont give them a chance (no looking or smiling at ppl i dont know, so they dont get the wrong idea)
4. Dont go out as much as i used to (even then it was limited)
5. if i do go out its with my bro or family (i dont need the backtalk from strangers)


What else do you want me 2 do?

Wardah, what you have done is all great ;). But if you feel that you are too beautiful and your beauty could lead to "fitnah" among men then it's recommended to cover your face as well.

What else do you want me 2 do?Don't you worry....the men in your life will think of something ;)

I am not saying that i am just saying whatever a girl does there is always attention on her. Even if she is in black from head to toe she will still be looked at and oogled!
Covering the face is not required in islam

And why a girl will care about others behaviors, she needs to look after herself only to dress according to Islamic teachcing. She will not hold the bad deeds of others, she will only hold what she do by herself.

Covering the face is only required if the woman beleive in herself that leaving her face open will cause "fitnah" to men looking at her. At this point it's better for her to cover her face also.

PS: you are not that beautiful anyway, so why do you bother :D
