By a sister
I can honestly say that I have never been more brainwashed and foolish than in the period of time when I read these magazines and watched these TV programmes and listened to these songs from age 0 to 21
Men conditioned my brain to believe that less was more, that casual sex was nuttin but a thang and made me feel inadequate cos I was still a virgin at age 21
men made me feel, that walking around half naked would make me more attractive. A man could tell me what to wear and I would do it (in the name of fashion)
a man in a song, could tell me what shape and size I should be and I, my friends and every girl I know, would straight away fall in line and tryed are hardest to conform to that shape and size, i.e.”Coca Cola Body” (famous ragga tune )
a man in rap could tell me to dance and move for him in a persific sexual manner and I would see hundreds of adult “independant” women in a club submitting to his request blindly and obeying him dancing in a that exact sexual manner devotely just like he demanded in the record, which he could never ever get them to do without the music, I was more controlled then, than ever.
I am not a sex object or toy for the whole world to look at whenever and wherever they want to. Any lecherous pervert could (and did look) when I use to walked around exposed.
I haven’t been a Muslim all my life, I embraced Islam a year and a half ago MARSHA ALLAH, so the best of my life as a Muslim insha ALLAH, is yet to come.
When people ask me why I want to cover I wearing the Hijab & jilbaab head covering & loose robes or Niqaab face veil, I have to ask them, why would I want to walk around with my most secretive and intimate parts exposed ?
and let every male stranger outside have the chance to analise me ? how will obtaining the sexually charged glares of unknown men Looking at me and having sexual ideas about me benefit me.
What make me think I’m special because I can make allot of men look at me, huh I wasn’t the first and sure won’t be the last female they looked at today, they look at every woman in a sexual way except sisters on deen that cover in hijab or niqaab who don’t give them a chance to sexauly analise them!!!!!!!
HEEELLLL NOOOOO I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I KNOW WHY I EXIST AND WHO CREATED ME AND WHAT I WAS CREATED FOR
AND I WASNT CREATED OR PUT ON EARTH, TO BE A USELESS EYECANDY BARBIE DOLL TO BE PLACED IN THE OFFICE TO “BRIGHTERN” UP THE DAY FOR “THE LADS” OR “FELLAS”
OR TO WORK 9-5 MONDAY TO FRIDAY AND ON WEEKEND GET DRUNK AND HIGH AND JUMP AROUND IN A CLUB LIKE A MONKEY AND GO HOME WITH A COMPLETE STRANGER FOR A ONE NIGHT STAND EITHER
NO THANKS
I WAS CREATED TO WORSHIP MY LORD ALLAH ALONE AND DEAL WITH THE TEST HE SENDS ME HERE ON EARTH, AND TO PASS MY TEST AND RETURN BACK TO MY TRUE HOME PARADISE FOR ETERNITY IN ABODE OF ETERNAL BLISS
WERE, PROBLEMS, BILLS, STRESS, COMPLICATIONS,GOSSIP, DRAMA AND FITNA DO NOT EXIST
WHERE THERE IS ETERNAL EASE, CONTENTNESS,SATISFACTION, BLISS TANQUILTY RELAXSATION AND COMPLETE SERENITY FOR ETERNITY
SO IF YOU WANT YOU CAN TRY AND HAVE YOUR FAKE, BUSTED, SECONDHAND, BROKEN DOWN, UNSUSTAINABLE, COLLAPSABLE, VERSION OF PARADISE HERE ENJOY YOURSELF
BUT LEAVE ME AND MY HIJAB AND NIQAAB ALONE
BECAUSE I SWEAR BY THE CREATOR OF DA HEAVENS AND EARTH AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN
I AND I ALONE CHOOSE TO WEAR THIS HIJAB/NIQAAB
AND NO MAN OR WOMAN WILL EVER
EVER INSHALLAH PHYSICIAY REMOVE OR PUT IT ON ME EVER
AND THIS HIJAB OR NIQAAB IS THE ONLY DRESS THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO OUR CREATOR AND LORD OF THE UNIVERSE AS SUITABLE FOR A FEMALE TO WEAR ITS NOT JUST ABOUT DRESSING MODESTY ITS ALSO A ACT OF WORSHIP
LIKE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS (NOT MOTHER GOD) WHO WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SUBMITTERS TO GOD ALMIGTY
LIKE I SAID I AM HERE TO WORSHIP ALLAH LIKE MARY, JESUS, MOSES NOAH, ABRAHAM AND MUHAMMED (peace be upon them all)
Now I don’t feel the need to show off my body I feel that the concept of giving “my husband to be” the honour of seeing my body and no one else as beautiful.
I’m gonna stop now cos I could write on forever I’m a better speaker than writer because I am not so good at getting my point across but insha ALLAH what I have said may be of benefit to someone.
I’ve recently been thinking the exact same idea myself lately. Happy to see somebody on the same wavelength! Nice article.
