Devotion vs Oppression

the issue of hijab has always been heavily debated and most would always criticize it by saying that it is a sign of inequality and how the hijabi are being pressured to wear them. This is the article that made me write this post.

the funny thing is that most comment, opinion and debate came from those that don't even wear it and not even muslim. The comments given are as if they are a seasoned hijabi but in fact they never worn it before.

Acting as if they know better, they try their very best to ban it in school, offices and other places. This is a nuisance to us hijabi when their action create a difficult situation for us that eventually itself is a way of inequality and oppression.

Please open your eyes and heart, the hijab worn will definitely not be forced on you and it is our own choice to wear it so don't act on our behalf to protect and save us from this "delusional oppression" when we don't ask for it. Instead, what we ask is to give us our right to wear it freely without being look down at and being judged.

Why can an individual walk down the street half naked freely without any discrimination and harassment while an individual that is covered can't be treated the same?


Everybody would be very familiar with the dressing of a nun. A hijabi and a nun both wear a covered and modest clothing yet they claimed that a nun way of dressing is a sign of devotion while a hijabi is an oppression. Where is the logic? Wearing hijab is one of the command of god. He creates us thus he knows better on how we should be living and in this case wear.

This poor lady died because of the hatred that have been built in the mentality of the society towards hijab. But her death is not a waste because insyallah she will be very happy in the hereafter. When we die, it is not the end but it is the start of the "real living", "real life". Living in this world is not the real life but the real life is in the hereafter. The world is just a place where our iman is being tested and those who do good will succeed and live happily in heaven that is like a gazillion times better than this world. This world is like a pit stop before we reach our real destination.

Some muslim cover their aurat and some not, which one is better? Only god knows. But what I can say is that when Allah s.w.t. laid out the rules and what not, we should do our very best to follow it as he is our creator. He creates us thus he is way way way wayyyyyy smarter than us so doing otherwise is not wise and are we in a way trying to say that we are smarter than our creator.Naudhubillah.
