Why Wear Rida (HIJAB)
When a woman steps out into the world, what measures should she take in order to ensure her safety?
Wear HIJAB, HIJAB means it’s an Islamic practice of dressing modestly in clothing that covers most of the body.
Whether you are a Muslim or a Non-Muslim woman covering yourself is not the sign of degradation or oppression. Nor it discriminate a women. Rather, covering yourself is a sign of purity and dignity. It highlights a woman as a pure, chaste woman and sets her apart from the immoral behavior associated with women who dress immodestly.
The HIJAB is a sort of "screen" between the chaste Muslim woman and the evil that exists in the world. When a woman wears a HIJAB she is less likely to be harassed by men with lusty motives; she is less likely to be exploited for her beauty and feminity. The HIJAB allows a woman to move about outside the confines of her home with her attention on the tasks she has set out to do. The woman wearing HIJAB does not try to impress anyone when outside of her home. She is not concerned if men find her attractive, or if people are impressed because she has the latest fashions, or the newest hairstyle. She leaves her home as a self-confident part of human race, not as a fashion-plate seeking stares and adoration in order to gain self-esteem. When women wear HIJAB one finds that the most beautiful women are not necessarily the most popular. Rather, a woman is assessed for her mind, and not just superficial physical traits.
Whilst other women are subjected to the pressures and slavery of modern society, a woman wearing HIJAB is truly free from this. These western culture, women are expected to conform to the liberal fashions which appear daily. These fashions and expectations are often shaped by men. In this way, women become the slaves of society and man. HIJAB is the liberator of this slavery. It takes women away from the obedience of man. This obedience will only bring about good. Slavery to HIJAB is a slavery of reward and contentment. It is not a slavery from which the woman is exploited and oppressed, just because your desires and lusts run wild.
HIJAB has united the hearts of so many. HIJAB knows no colour, nationality, race, height or weight. It truly unites the women of the world. Wearing the HIJAB is no futile action. A woman may go through much trial and tribulation because she respecting herself and has planned her own safety, protection, security on her own, fulfillment of this action will never go unnoticed.
