In the international day of hijab , a day to defend hijab from the wrong allegations against it, I have very mixed feelings .
This year an american muslim woman had a new idea in mind .She proposed wearing it for one day by nonmuslim to have a glimpse about muslims women lives wearing it.it was interesting to read the comments of these women and what was more interesting was to see their pictures donning it .some were eome were rather very funny though.more than 5 thousand women from different backgrounds and religions participated .i respected their courage and openness.To some it felt weird and other felt comfortable.of course one day is not enoguh to judge our lives right but it may help many to understand that hijab doesnt make me less woman or free than any other one.
all this reminded me of the question i used to encounter when i decided to wear it..why ? i decieded to wear it first as a political reaction to the massacare by israeal in jenen in palestin.it way my way of resestance then i read and understood more about hijab so now i wear it because im a muslim ,and as a muslim i should submit to whatever Allah orders me and ALLah ordered us is quran to wear it ...this reason should be enough .but ialso became so attached to it espiclay after the banning of it in france and turky ,seeing all these girls who had to leave thier schools or jobs to wear it touched me so much.i didnt have this stong will before but now i do . if it was simple peice of cloth why did those who hate it tried to force women to take it off in every single way .
walking in hijab to me is like walking with an aura around me ..i feel the protection and the peace from GOD..i feel supirior to those winning their ways by exposing more of their bodies ..
