Hijab is an Embodiment of Love

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.

The existence of the hijab shows that Islam is concerned about women, and hijab holds the function of protection for women.

The simplest way to describe hijab is that it is a “crown” of glory for women. This metaphor is not explicitly mentioned in the Our’an, but it is a metaphor that I often hear from the Muslim community in my country (Indonesia).

Islam places women in a noble position. Just like the treatment of a Queen or Princess in their crown, where not just anyone is allowed to touch them, for hijabis, the same applies, where not just anyone is allowed to touch them. The hijab helps women be more protected and respectable.

Hijabis Love For Hijab

For the majority of Muslim women who wear hijab, their decision is made consciously based on their willingness. It is based on finding inner peace as well.

Hijab comes as a form of love from the creator for his creatures, as mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah al-Ahzab verse 59.

For a Muslim woman who wears it, it becomes the embodiment of love as a creature to her Rabb, which in Islam is known as Taqwa.

Hijab may not be irrelevant to the standards of how women should look in today’s society. As a hijabi, I think precisely the existence of hijab is relevant to saving women from the issues that surround them.

Hijab As Clothing

As clothing, hijab is associated with modesty and protection. In this case, hijab prevents women from receiving inappropriate gazes. It is because hijab covers almost all parts of a woman’s body, so it can hinder certain types of people who see them in a lustful way. This will keep women from any kind of harassment to any extent.

Hijab helps women find inner peace. Nowadays, we know how bluntly women are required to be perfect. Insecurity is the biggest thing that happens to most young women. For example, there must be a thought that they will be considered worthy if they look a certain way. 
Actually, it can bring a lot of burdens that can end up hurting them.

In some fields, it is indeed necessary to feel insecure in order to have awareness of self-development. However, in this case, hijab comes not to cover up the feeling of shame of a young woman who feels insecure about her body, but to make her feel proud.

Hijab reminds Muslim women, in all its glory, that they are made perfectly. Also, it reminds them of “Taqwa”, whose roots are formed from love. It is explainable as “hijab is not just about fashion; hijab is an obligation towards Allah.”

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
