“Hijab is a Crown of Glory For Women” This metaphor is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an, but it is a metaphor that I often hear from the Muslim community in my country (Indonesia). In my opinion, that is the simplest way to describe hijab, especially to those who don’t know well about Islam. What Does Hijab Mean to You? AboutIslam Audience Have Their Say! Islam Treats Women Specially Talking about women is actually talking about a great civilization. Women have a noble position. They play an important role in forming a generation. The existence of hijab shows that Islam is concerned about this matter, where hijab holds the function of protection. However, I watched several comments about hijab such as; “ hijab hinders women’s freedom”, “hijab is not fashionable” or “hijabis are conservative people who are closed-minded”. That is understandable, because in this day and age many people hold on to liberal ideology. It shows that people start with different understa...

5 Great Women In Islam Talking about women is actually talking about a great civilization. They play an important role in shaping generations. Every nation is built from a family, and those who build that family are women. Of course, men take part, but in women’s hands, with their emotional approach, the family would get to live in love and peace. A strong and sturdy generation will be formed through it. She is like the heart of the family . If the family is good, then society will be good. If she’s broken, then the society is broken.

There are some people who view hijab as a kind of limitation or even as an oppression for Muslim women. At some point, it indeed looks like limitations. But as a hijabi, I prefer to call it boundaries.

Balance between Fashion and Hijab Personally, getting to know hijab and its meaning made me blown away even more by Islam. I was born into a Muslim family, and they are quite religious but not strict.

The dunya where we live is not a perfect place that is free of sadness or hardships. Pain is a part of life that all of us have to go through in different ways. Alhumdulillah, pain is not a constant value but rather a series of ups and downs. People deal differently with difficult times that they go through. Some of us adamantly refuse to give up no matter how much we get hurt- those types are always able to stand up again. But others easily give up and quickly lose hope. Today’s story is about one of those who never give up; who always realize that there is a god who can change sadness into happiness; and darkness into light.
