Hijab is not just a head scarf and a women you see,
hijab is a curtain which refers to partition.
But rather you should take the time to study
and learn what hijab really means.
Its a screen that gives a women her value and modesty.
A barrier that turns away the evil attention and protects her dignity
it not only covers her hair but also her body.
Don't listen to society when they tell you to dress to impress.
You are not a toy or a object for sexuality
you are a wife, a daughter, a sister a mother to mankind that Your lord has blessed.
Cover for your own good for your own protection.
Cover to please your master and to decrease the volume of corruption
because that's an order from creator and to our creator we listen.
That's what Mary did and Mary was one of the greatest women
because Mary feared her lord and fearing your lord is part of being a Muslim and remember true beauty its what's within not what's without.
