💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📑 Despite having the choice to wear whatever I like,
From sleeveless and backless tops to pants that are so tight,
I choose to wear the niqab whenever I'm outside
And when I am in the presence of non-mahram guys,
Not to imply I'm an Arab nor to terrify
Fellow humans but to serve just Allah the Most Wise
Who doesn't judge our looks but sees our hearts - what's inside.
~•~
I'm not oppressed by staying modest. Yes, it's my right
To choose which of my body parts I can show and hide.
Fellow servants nearby - I don't want them judging my
Overall self and value according to my smiles
And whether my nose is long or my cheekbones are high.
Should we be asked how we all breathe, we could simply sigh:
Alhamdulillah you hear us talking. Don't you lie.
~•~
For Allah we dress modestly, and we're not obliged
To follow the fashion industry nor "be in style",
We're alive to please Only Allah through what He likes -
By obeying Allah's Laws as much as we can try,
Instead of impressing people - most with jealous eyes.
To us, the niqab and hijab nicely symbolize
Servitude to Allah and detachment from this life.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah (The Almighty), and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of (our enemy) shaytan."
