Pink Hijab 11

thalamtnafsee:

No, its not because a collar and leash are not degrading enough, its because your ignorance - in of itself - is degrading; an insult to my intellect.
I usually stay away from such photos and leave out my stance and commentary, but this just completely irritated me. I am a Muslim women who constantly struggles in accordance to the jurisprudence matters that dictate how the veil should be warn and whether I find myself at times wear it for a greater sake or for someone else’s, but never in my life have I questioned the integrity, honor, and courage of a Muslim woman in niqab. And side note, that is niqab the women are wearing, not burka. Please get that right the next time you slap on a pathetic comment like the one under that photo.
And let me also have you know as a woman who CHOOSES (among millions of other Muslim women who choose) to wear the head scarf, I find in NO way the hijab to be degrading my state of mind or self. And to be quite honest, I find that Muslim women who choose to wear niqab are rightfully more liberated wearing it than most hijabi’s. That said, let me provide some reasons why Muslims CHOOSE to wear hijab, so we don’t run into this little ordeal again, shall we?
the hijab (and most definitely niqab) allows Muslim women to detach themselves from the politics of gender. We dress in a way that signals unavailability so that we may feel distinguished from girls who think differently.
The hijab (and again, niqab as well) allows Muslim women to make a radical political statement about themselves which states what they reject and what they accept. They reject this role in the sexualized society and they affirm that sex has nothing to do with their public life. And what they accept is being treated by others for their level of intellect, piety, and intelligence.
The hijab and the niqab allows Muslim women to take out of discussion their physical identity. And by concealing their physical body are they moving themselves away from the fashion industry which merchandises their being in terms of sexuality.
Both the hijab and niqab leaves people to only deal with Muslim women as a person, not their bodily form.
The hijab and niqab are far from constraints on the physical movement of Muslim women; rather, it gives them freedom to do so without being judged by their physical value.
The veil, niqab, burqa, jelbab, abaya, and anything else that you find the Muslim woman choose to wear, does NOT degrade them, but it allows us to access our rights as having total legal, economic, and political status without bringing our sexual being into play. And to be quite honesty, I feel that the hijab I wear is a protective shield against attacks to my dignity.
If you think that this is a leash wrapped around my collar, I suggest you take a look a look in the mirror and see whether you aren’t just fooled by the leash on your own.
That is all.

No, its not because a collar and leash are not degrading enough, its because your ignorance - in of itself - is degrading; an insult to my intellect.

Makkah ♥ (2-؟) (by Yara Khalid)

Performing salaat is the act of cleansing the soul; one should feel calm and at ease while performing salaat; one should feel the love and mercy of Allah azza wa jal being showered on them whilst he stands in prayer. You are talking to your Lord when you are praying. There is no stronger connection than the one between the Creator and His creation. Performing salaat calms the troubled mind, eases the worried heart, and relaxes the stressed soul. Performing salaat comforts you, relaxes you, refreshens you. Performing salaat is the most beautiful performance there is.

To the world you may be an icon, popular or a billionaire, but to the Angel of death, you’re just a name on a list..

Never explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it and the one who dislikes you wouldn’t believe it.
