In Islam, a Hijab is a headpiece or veil that is worn by Muslim girls/women. This headpiece is a way to respect your beauty and figure in public and non-relative persons. When wearing this headpiece, the females' beauty is in a way reserved for her husband when she gets married; its a beautiful reason to wear it. I, myself, wear hijab. I decided to wear it back in February of 2013; I have always wanted to wear it but did not know the right time. It has been the best decision I've made because to me, in 30 years or so, my peers and people I work with will not remember how my hair looked or what I wore on a certain day. God wants me to be modest in others eye's; what God wants from me to do is more important at the end of the day. It is a choice the girl makes, it is not and should not be forced upon; time is there for a reason, when the right time comes, she will put it on.
The hijab does not limit a girl from acvhieving her dreams. She can become a Doctor, Pharmacist, Engineer, an Athlete, etc.

You're tone, voice, and passion in this entry is amazing. Not only that but your title really drew me in! I believe this was really well written and it gives an insight on a topic that some of us are not too familiar with. Excellent job again Asra!
ReplyDeleteThank you Philip! I am constantly getting questions of why I wear the headpiece and/so its always nice to answer the curiosity of something that people often see around them here. They might know what it is and what religion it belongs to, but not the story behind it all.
