A Cool Conversation on Hijab!
*****************************
"I'm so tired"
"Tired of what?"
"Of all these people judging me."
"Who judged you?"
"Like that woman, every time I sit
with her, she tells me to wear hijab."
"Oh, hijab and music! The mother of
all topics!"
"Yeah! I listen to music without
hijab. haha!"
"Maybe she was just giving you advice."
"I don't need her advice. I know my
religion. Can't she mind her own
business?"
"Maybe you misunderstood. She was just
being nice."
"Keeping out of my business, that
would be nice..."
"But it's her duty to encourage you do
to good."
"Trust me. That was no encouragement.
And what do you mean 'good'?"
"Well, wearing hijab, that would be a
good thing to do."
"Says who?"
"It's in the Qur'an, isn't it?"
"Yes. She did quote me something."
"She said Surah an-Nur, and other
places of the Qur'an."
"Yes, but it's not a big sin anyway.
Helping people and praying is more
important."
"True. But big things start with small
things."
"That's a good point, but what you
wear is not important. What's
important is to have a good healthy
heart."
"What you wear is not important?"
"That's what I said."
"Then why do you spend an hour every
morning fixing up?"
"What do you mean?"
"You spend money on cosmetics, not to
mention all the time you spend on
fixing your hair and low- carb
dieting."
"So?"
"So, your appearance IS important."
"No. I said wearing hijab is not an
important thing in religion."
"If it's not an important thing in
religion, why is it mentioned in the
Holy Qur'an?"
"You know I can't follow all that's in
Qur'an."
"You mean God tells you something to
do, you disobey and then it's OK?"
"Yes. God is forgiving."
"God is forgiving to those who repent
and do not repeat their mistakes."
"Says who?" "Says the same book
that tells you to cover."
"But I don't like hijab, it limits my
freedom."
"But the lotions, lipsticks, mascara
and other cosmetics set you free?!
What's your definition of freedom
anyway?"
"Freedom is in doing whatever you like
to do."
"No. Freedom is in doing the right
thing, not in doing whatever we wish
to do."
"Look! I've seen so many people who
don't wear hijab and are nice people,
and so many who wear hijab and are bad
people."
"So what? There are people who are
nice to you but are alcoholic. Should
we all be alcoholics? You made a
stupid point."
"I don't want to be an extremist or a
fanatic. I'm OK the way I am without
hijab."
"Then you are a secular fanatic. An
extremist in disobeying God."
"You don't get it, if I wear hijab,
who would marry me?!"
"So all these people with hijab never
get married?!"
"Okay! Wha t if I get married and my
husband doesn't l i ke it? And wants
me to remove it?"
"What if your husband wants you to go
out with him on a bank robbery?!"
"That's irrelevant, bank robbery is a
crime."
"Disobeying your Creator is not a
crime?"
"But then who would hire me?"
"A company that respects people for
who they are."
"Not after 9-11"
"Yes. After 9-11. Don't you know about
Hanan who just got into med school?
And the other one, what was her name,
the girl who always wore a white
hijab.ummm."
"Yasmeen?"
"Yes. Yasmeen. She just finished her
MBA and is now interning for GE."
"Why do you reduce religion to a piece
of cloth anyway?"
"Why do you reduce womanhood to high
heals and lipstick colours?"
"You didn't answer my question."
"In fact, I did. Hijab is not just a
piece of cloth. It is obeying God in a
difficult environment. It is courage,
faith in action, and true womanhood.
But your short sleeves, tight pants."
"That's called 'fashion', you live in
a cave or something? First of all,
hijab was founded by men who wanted to
control women."
"Really? I did not know men could
control women by hijab."
"Yes. That's what it is."
"What about the women who fight their
husbands to wear hijab? And women in
France who are forced to remove their
hijab by men? What do you say about
that?"
"Well, that's different."
"What difference? The woman who asked
you to wear hijab. she was a woman,
right?"
"Right, but."
"But fashions that are designed and
promoted by male-dominated
corporations, set you free? Men have
no control on exposing women and using
them as a commodity?! Give me a break!"
"Wait, let me finish, I was saying."
"Saying what? You think that men
control women by hijab?"
"Yes."
"Specifically how?"
"By te lling women how and what to
wear, dummy!"
"Doesn't TV, magazines and movies tell
you what t o wear, and how to
be 'attractive' ?"
"Of course, it's fashion."
"Isn't that control? Pressuring you to
wear what they want you to wear?"
Silence
"Not just controlling you, but also
controlling the market."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you are told to look skinny
and anorexic like that woman on the
cover of the magazine, by men who
design those magazines and sell those
products."
"I don't get it. What does hijab have
to do with products."
"It has everything to do with that.
Don't you see? Hijab is a threat to
consumerism, women who spend billions
of dollars to look skinny and live by
standards of fashion designed by
men.and then here is Islam, saying
trash all that nonsense and focus on
your soul, not on your looks, and do
not worry what men think of your
looks."
"Like I don't have to buy hijab? Isn't
hijab a product?"
"Yes, it is. It is a product that sets
you free from male-dominated consumer
ism ."
"Stop lecturing me! I WILL NOT WEAR
HIJAB! It is awkward, outdated, and
totally not suitable for this societ
y ... Moreover, I am only 20 and too
young to wear hijab!"
"Fine. Say that to your Lord, when you
face Him on Judgment Day."
"Fine."
"Fine."
Silence
"Shut up and I don't want to hear more
about hijab niqab schmijab Punjab !"
Silence.
She stared at the mirror, tired of
arguing with herself all this time.
Successful enough, she managed to shut
the voices in her head, with her own
opinions
triumphant in victory on the matter,
and a final modern decision accepted
by the society, rejected by the Faith:
Yes to curls or blowed dried hair, no
to hijab

Three Tough Questions
There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions. Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar.
Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
Scholar: I am one of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala )'s slaves and Insha-Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.
Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions.
Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah(SubHana Wa Ta`ala).
Young Man: I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is thaqdir (fate)?
3. If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?
Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.
Young Man (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?
Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.
Young Man: I really don't understand.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.
Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?
Young Man: Yes.
Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!
Young Man: I cannot.
Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence without being able to see His shape... Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: That is takdir (fate) my second answer........ My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?
Young Man: It is created from flesh.
Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
Young Man: Flesh.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: In pain.
Scholar: Thats it. this is my third answer, Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants, insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become a very painful place for Shaitan
Allah (swt) said:
"If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." If you are not ashamed, pass this message on...only if you believe.
"Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior. Allah keeps me going day & night. Without Allah, I am no one. But with Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength."
May Allah help us all to succeed... Ameen
