Poem: Virtues Of Modesty And Wearing Hijab

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 A woman's beauty designed and given by Allah

Isn't meant to be flaunted to bring about fitnah.

Her adornments are for her spouse when she's a zawjah,

Not to distract people from their duties and Salah.

~*~

The hijab is an order from Allah to women

Who want to be distinguished as obedient Muslims,

Striving to please Him and leave what He has forbidden,

Wanting to be loved for their faith, not mere appearance.

~*~

Freedom isn't in showing yourself like cheap items,

Not in buying branded cosmetics nor modeling.

Being free as Muslimahs means having confidence

To dress modestly, not being enslaved by fashion.

~*~

Instead of the likes of Kardashians, Nicki Minaj,

And other female celebs, you admire Khadijah,

'Aisha Bint Abu Bakr, Hafsa and Fatima,

And other Muslimahs destined to enter Jannah.

~*~

Rather than obsessing over long fake eyelashes,

Cool hair dyes, fancy highlights, colored contact lenses,

And taking hot selfies, make effort to be pious.

Allah will judge your heart and deeds, not your outer looks.

~*~

A fashion influencer's fans and secret admirers

Can't really benefit her soul in the Hereafter.

Better are Muslims who busy themselves with Dhikr,

Seeking knowledge, not eager to be liked by others.

~*~

A Muslimah's honor is not in a tiara

Nor in a sash award but in just pleasing Allah.

She glows with faith/Imaan, liberated from dunya,

Enjoying peace of mind while she strives to reach Jannah.

~*~

📖 Abu Udhaynah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The best of your women are loving, fertile, suitable, and comforting, if they fear Allah. The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow."
