2 years ago I wore tudung out of sincerity and fulfill my obligation as a muslim woman. I have never looked back since. The tudung is, to me as a guard of modesty as a check on misdemeanour. It may seems like a mere peice of cloth, yet the significance is intricate, just like the weave of threads it is made from.
After making the commitment, my character changed gradually for the better. I am more patient, less aggressive and feel at peace with myself. I believe that those who wear tudung for the sake of Allah, will receive His divine guidance....Amin
HIJAB...
Oh believing women, do cover yourselves
For we are precious diamonds, well-guarded,
Like ocean pearls in hardy shells,
Women in Islam are indeed well protected.
Grace to Allah, our lord so merciful
For making us women ever so beautiful,
Alas! Our beauty has been made the devil's tool,
To attract the grace of men, ever so lustful.
So don the hijab, my sister in Islam
Protect yourselves from unwanted harm,
Allah has commanded us to cover our beauty,
To safeguard our modesty and give our identity.
The hijab is more than a piece of cloth
Putting it on makes you no sloth,
Through this single act you will be liberated,
From the vices of beauty being marketed.
As a muslim woman, I have my hijab on
Inviting you, my sisters, onto my bondwagon,
Of this great practice of simple modesty,
As humble servant of our Lord Almighty....
a penny for my thoughts?
