Salam 'alaik..
I don't know what others think about her.but I think she is so cute with her scarf.SHE? yes, she.suddenly, she becomes a she.huhu....I was so excited finding the right scarf for Ms Papatoetoe since morning...haha..bolehlah,pakai handkerchief pon ok jelah. So,everyone knows what I want to write in this post right now, right?
HIJAB
Some people are just so sensitive about this topic...so, should we be sensitive also about it? Of course! it is something that has been made a must for Muslim women...yeah,let me emphasize it again. A must for Muslim women. Sounds harsh, isn't it?I know.sorry..but HIJAB is not something that is so hard and it is not even burdensome..well,maybe for the beginners, they might feel a lil' bit hard in wearing a hijab and keep it consistent..but, GO GIRL!!! you will get used to wearing it soon...and soon, when you start to ponder the deeper meaning of wearing it, you would feel PROUD wearing a hijab..insyaAllah...
Well, I am so not the right person to give a hukm or elaborating dalil s on this matter-well,not yet. so, what am I going to talk about here?hmmmmm.....
Maybe a bit of my experience in wearing hijab...
I started wearing a hijab since, I guess year 3 of primary school.but I was not consistent at that time.just wearing it whenever I went to school. I began to wear it consistently when I reached my puberty age which is at ** years old..(hahahh,cannot tell yaa..its a secret.but I could say that I became "mature" at my early age). I was not really into it when I was in both primary and secondary schools. nor hate wearing hijab. but I didn't feel the excitement of wearing it.I just knew that wearing a hijab is wajib.
Aside from hijab, covering the aurah is also wajib (compulsory to ALL MUSLIMS).I knew that since in primary school. and I even knew the parts that I have to cover.However, merely theoretical lessons in school were not enough. Its the practical that what I really need. However, the adults and the peers were not showing the truly right examples of hijab practicing and aurah covering. Actually, the situations were just like nowadays.It just that there was no 'Tudung Syria' and so forth back then. Some do wear hijab, but not lowering it till their bosom. Some wear hijab, but exposing their arms. Some wear hijab, but wearing legging????
Do you know why most people out there practice these?because the message is not reached. We were being taught in schools with just a piece of information about the parts that we need to cover without further explaining the proper way of doing it.Just like me myself, before entering this university. I was so jahil. I just knew I have to cover the aurah, with any piece of cloth. I NEVER knew that simply wearing the handsocks which shows the shape of my arm is not considered as covering my aurah.I did not know that wearing tight jeans for the muslim ladies does not cover the aurah..I did not know that my head scarf needs to be lowered till covering my bosom. huhu,now you know who I was back then.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed.
(The Qur'an, 24:31)
Alhamdulillah that I decided to reject the JPA offer after the SPM and that I decided to pursue my study in this university (and praise to Allah that I got the offer to enter this university out of many other). I am surrounded with nice people and being told with the right messages of covering the aurah.What is the right way to cover your aurah-for Muslimat?Here are the easy ones:
- Lower your hijab till it covers your bosom.
- Wear dress or shirt with long sleeves-say no to short sleeves+handsocks
- Just wear slacks or long skirts rather than jeans.
- Wear your mini scarf with your hijab..all the hair counted yaa
- Say YEAHH to loose dress and shirts.
They are simple and easy.and comfortable also because you will have enough space to move around without those tight and small clothes. # This is to remind me as well -_-
Those who are small minded people would always find reasons of not covering their aurah, saying that this would just make us undeveloped. says who? instead, those who cover their aurah are more developed yaa.Remember, the men from the early ages like Paleolitic and Mesolitic people were not wearing any cloth or the proper one.so what makes us,wearing sufficient cloth to cover our body, undeveloped people?we are much more ahead!!! =)
So, let us all make some improvement to our way of dressing.Islam does not prohibit us to dress up,but it should be done modestly..Lets HIJRAH!!
