My 88th Post: Hijab


There is this thought going around in my head from long....I wasn't able to write on it because I wanted to experience more before I say something over it....I have noticed more and more women joining the circle of jihab and have started wearing abaya (the veil) so that is a good thing, right? but well what I have noticed is that most of them have forgotten the true essence of veiling themselves....today even abaya is worn just for the sense of fashion....most of the ladies these days don't have the real believe of hijab, they just do it because it is in or someone might have forced them to....so to them I would like to say that it isn't a fashion statement...
I guess most of my readers would be firstly questioning upon the right I have to talk about them, so for them I would like to say that I ain't pin pointing anyone, am just writing my thoughts and giving my views here.....after that their thought might be that at least they are veiling themselves so it is alright....well yes, it is good that at least they are trying to amend their dressing but that doesn't means that one is really covering herself from men....I mean hijab doesn't means only to wear a veil.....covering one's body is essential but that should be followed by both style and behaviour too....
What's on my mind is that I have noticed a lot of girls these days who wear abaya to veil themselves but most of them instead of covering their face, just wear a scarf....that covers the hair and it is believed that hair makes a woman more attractive...so wearing only a scarf instead of covering the face is also good but that doesn't means that the girl goes on covering herself with makeup or putting a brooch over her scarf....the motive of a hijab is to become unattractive to the opposite gender....by puffing makeup or wearing extra
jewelry or getting different colour combinations or attractive material for the cloth of a veil just kills the concept of hijab....even though you are wearing an abaya, the concept of covering yourself dies because you are still attractive to men and sure the men should lower their gaze but still, they are men and they would look if someone goes by and is pretty....I agree that there are totally and properly covered ladies and still men stalk them but here is the fault of those men not of those decent ladies....
The other thing which swims in my mind while thinking about girls who hijab is that most of them just wear an abaya, that is they don't really feel what it gives them instead they take it as a duty which a person does without any dedication.....yes, I know I shouldn't be judging those people but the thing is that how can a girl who veils herself in front of everyone, dress outstandingly in some party with perfect matching jewelry n shoes.....if that party is only women, then sure nothing wrong with that...but a girl veiling all the time she goes out and then is all dressed in a co-party feels like she doesn't really care whether to do hijab or not....else that type of a girl would be uncomfortable while revealing herself in front of the public....or another one who is also the veiling type, has no attention over who is present in the room or maybe watching her while she is doing some chores or anything...I mean the one who veils, remains conscious when she is some place where others can look at her....the door is opened and she is without any kinda hijab and the public can easily look at her while she moves on with what she wants to do....that girl if she was really into veiling herself, would be alert all the time....hijab doesn't means only to be unattractive by the body, but also one should use a proper type of tone and style when around people who she veils from....
So to all those who veil, it is really a good thing and many are proud of you but please do it properly and try to believe in hijab rather than just wearing an abaya and before taunting guys and pointing fingers over them, see if you are acting properly or not.....
To all the ladies who read it, please do not get offended by this post...this is just my observation and my thoughts and maybe it isn't for you (the one who is reading), it is for the ones whom I saw acting or behaving like this so just try to vision what I want to say....
People do share and please feel free to comment.....
