Assalāmu ‛Alaykum guys, hope your all in the best of health and imaan InShaAllah. Just wanted to go over something thats been bothering me for a while. When describing the importance of hijab, I don’t understand when people say "Would you prefer an unwrapped piece of sweet covered in flies or would you like a wrapped one" suggesting that a woman who doesn’t cover her head may apparently be someone everyone’s had a taste of. This anaolgy in itself is absolutely offensive and against the very teachings of Islam. Its also quite silly to compare the wrapper on a piece of sweet to something so significant. Every woman is beautiful, precious and valuable weather “Hijabi”, or “Non-Hijabi”. The idea that the covering makes a woman more preferable is unreasonable and quite smug if you ask me. For example, A woman with the Hijab on could be less religious than one without a Hijab. (Who knows? Who are we to judge?)
This analogy also hints that the hijab is worn for men. The hijab is beyond any mans preference!. I mean, Hijab isn’t for MEN. I have not chosen to cover my head for MEN. I have chosen to cover myself for the sake of Allah SWT and Allah SWT only. When Muslim women are asked why they wear the Hijab the simple answer should be "because god asked me to". I believe that the Hijab is about Tawakkul - تَوَكُّل‎ ; submitting to Allah SWT and trusting his way. Wearing

It 's also quite sad to see other Muslims slandering me behind my back about my Hijab because they’ve seen me take it off on numurous occasions. If you ever see me without my Hijab which some people have seen me do, its my business and my business only. Who knows, I could have a medical condition that you don’t even know about. Most the time we only see part of the picture so imagine the rest of the picture in a positive way in order to not wrong others. if you think good about people you will be at

    The three reasons provided by the author to support her thesis statement are: There is a stereotyping of Muslim women and of the burqa; The battle against the burqa is evident and reverberant in Western nations, but there is no involvement of Muslim women in this discussion; Burqa-clad women experience marginalization in Western cycles and in progressive Muslim communities. The first reason claimed by the writer is supported by her assumption that the burqa is considered by most people an opponent symbol of the Western values, and the women who wear it are controlled by men, they do not have control over their bodies and this garb is imprisoning all their rights. According to Hasan, the association of the burqa as a symbol of Islam is so strong that this topic receives more attention than other issues faced by Muslims. In order to support this assumption, she uses as an example the burqa ban request made by the Muslim Canadian Congress, which justified this request by declaring that the burqa is a political symbol of Islamic extremism. As a final appeal, Hasan resorts to loaded questions in a tentative to demonstrate how insensate this request is.…

    Women who wear the hijab aren’t forced to do it, they do it for modesty and privacy. They dress in loose clothes and cover their in order to keep themselves for their husbands and curve any sexual harassment when they only expose their face, hands, and feet.

As stated in the beginning that Muslim women need help from high-middle-class white women, when in reality the society just needs the knowledge to understand and be…

    This intersection of gender, religion and ethnicity, creates issues which Muslim women face on a daily basis. These Americans are constantly barraged with comments that vacillate between being called oppressed or labeled a terrorist, all due to a simple piece of clothing; the hijab. Interestingly, it is hard to imagine a devout Catholic or Baptist, who wears a hat to services, being subjected to the same remarks. Nevertheless, Muslim American women are often asked why they wear a hijab and or if they feel oppressed by it? Dalia Mogahed, Director of Research at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, responded with the following: I wear the hijab, “because it’s an act of devotion to God.…
