Blog Description

My Photo
This blog has seen me through my ups and downs. It has seen me through various stages within my teenage years. I was once a 15-year-old struggling to achieve the best for PMR, once an exchange student trying to find her way throughout the journey in Italy, once a girl caught in the middle trying her best to make everything work. Now as I move on to college life, I decided to drag this blog along with me. I hope this blog will stay to accompany me for more years to come. The contents of this blog are absolutely genuine, unless stated being copied from other sites. I write at my own risk. Happy reading.

Hijab


picture : thesaltlist.wordpress.com


I don't know why, but somehow I suddenly had an urge to blog about this during class. I wasn't concentration during the last 15 minutes of class. Come on.. Triple blocks of Economics. Don't get me wrong, I love econs, I love Mr. Conquest and his northern England accent etc. It's just that my mind drifted off the subject for a while. :b But I guess I have to mention this because it was the highlight of today's class; Mr. Conquest farted in class. It's nothing out of the norm but yeah he's so cute so I guess it made the whole thing just now seemed funny.

Okay I guess what I'm going to say basically, starts here. Ever since I got my period I understood perfectly that as a Muslim woman, I am obliged to cover my body, my hair etc. They are not suppose to be exposed to anyone except for Muslim women and my own mahram.

Hijab..

I guess I really don't mind performing the compulsory 5-times-a-day prayer, fast during the month of Ramadhan and other wajib things but this one.. This is one thing that I think I need some time for. You know why?

I don't want to be the girl who covers her hair with hijab only on specific occasions, or the girl who wears her hijab whenever she likes, and not wear one whenever she feels like not wearing it. You know, wear the hijab to class or to work, but goes out in tube dresses, not covering up etc. Or wear the hijab at a young age, then gradually taking it off and ends up not wearing one at all. Sekejap pakai, sekejap buka. I am not ready for that. What I know is by the time I start covering my hair with hijab, it will be permanent.

When I wear one, I want to be very concerned about it, might even consider breastfeeding my sisters' kids, or have my own kids breastfed by them so that my kids and theirs will be Rada or "milk-suckling mahrams; like normal siblings, same aurat boundaries etc. You know, doing it with all my will and not halfheartedly. It' not that I don't want to wear the hijab, I want to, and I will, InshaAllah.

I am scared that if I wear it now (when I'm not ready), then I will be tempted to wear skin-baring clothes which are actually my daily clothes currently. I'm not going to comment about wearing super skin-baring clothes, you know the mini skirt, tube top, hot pants because yeah I myself wore a tube dress to Prom, I would have to admit it. Up to a certain point, there is a possibility that you'd wear things that you never thought you would. But I try not to do it so much nowadays because yeah my mum doesn't like it, Zhafir doesn't like it and I am very sure I myself don't like it very much when the rempits start going "ooh and aah" or starts whistling "pheewit" etc when I walk pass them.

My friends Zulaikha and Lyn started wearing the hijab a few months ago and Masha Allah, both of them look so beautiful and I am very happy for them. I guess there's no more "I don't want to start wearing the hijab now because I don't want to wear it during my wedding so that I can style up my hair" eh Zulaikha? :b Anyway I know you're going to read this sooner or later, so yeah you look stunning Zulaikha, same goes to you, Lyn. :)

i feel like share this with you (:

1. Semua yang tutup aurat, kompom masuk syurga ke?
-Yang pasti, tak tutup aurat, kompom masuk neraka.

2. Tudung labuh pun macam baik sangat. Buat dosa jugak. Mengumpat orang.
-Bila Iblis tak mahu ikut perintah Allah untuk bersujud kepada Adam, dia menyalahkan perintah Allah itu. “Apahal pulak aku kena sujud, aku lebih baik dan mulia”. Samalah dengan tudung. Tudung pula yang disalahkan, ” pakai tudung tak mestinya baik..bla…bla…bla…”

3. Macamlah kau bagus sangat nak tegur aku. Kau dulu lagi jahat nak mampos.
-Tidak tersabit larangan dari Nabi untuk seseorang yang bahkan baru masuk Islam untuk pergi berdakwah kepada kaumnya. Maksudnya, dakwah itu tuntutan. Selagi kau Islam, dakwah tu wajib walaupun kau sendiri tak berapa betul. Sekurang-kurang dia insaf dan bertaubat sekarang.

4. Walau kami pakai seksi tapi hati kami baik.
-Adakah kau mendakwa diri kau mempunyai hati yang suci, iman yang tinggi dan kononnya ia sudah cukup menjamin maruah diri kau tanpa perlu menutup aurat?

5. Pakai jarang ke ketat ke, itu hak kami. Kalau tak suka jangan tengok.
-Adakah kau berani menjamin bahawa semua lelaki ajnabi mempunyai hati suci dan iman yang tinggi untuk menahan godaan syaitan serta nafsu yang membuak-buak?

6. Kami rasa apa yang kami pakai tak seksi. Terpulang kepada individu yang memandang kami.
-Seksi atau tidak, kau tetap berdosa walaupun hanya menayang sehelai rambut kau.

7. Walau kami tak bertudung, kami tetap sembahyang dan puasa.
-Apakah ibadat kau diterima? Kau yakin cuma dengan berpuasa sudah cukup untuk menjamin kau masuk syurga?

8. Sukahati kamilah nak pakai macam ni. Kami tak susahkan hidup orang lain.
-Kau sebenarnya dah susahkan bapa, abang, adik, suami serta orang lain dengan menarik mereka ke neraka bersama kau disebabkan mereka tidak menegur dan gagal mendidik kau.

9. Apa yang kami pakai, ini antara kami dengan Tuhan.
-Berani cakap di dunia, berani ke kau cakap macam tu depan Allah nanti? Lawan perintah Allah, Neraka tempatnya.

10. Kami pakai seksi macam ni, sebab ikut arahan photographer/pengarah filem untuk disesuaikan dalam scene. (ayat artis)
-Sanggup patuh arahan mereka daripada patuh suruhan Allah?

11. Bukan kami tak mahu menutup aurat, cuma masih belum sampai seru.
-Mati tidak mengenal usia. Tak takut ke mati dalam usia muda? Tak sempat nak bertaubat nanti.

12. Takkan nak buat perubahan secara drastik? Slow-slow la..
-Boleh ke cakap kat Malaikat Izrail nanti, tunggu kejap! Lepak la dulu. Jangan ambil lagi nyawa aku.

13. Tutup aurat tu bagus tapi kami tidak mahu hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas melakukannya.
-Kalau begitu kau sebenarnya memang hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas beragama Islam.
