WHY HIJAB? #PART1

"If Im choosin' to dress the way I dress and that does not hurt anyone else, I dont think im going to the hell for it"

A hijab is a head covering scarf that some Muslim women wear in a public. 

For many such women, the hijab signifies both modesty and privacy. 

In my eyes, what does hijab stand for? For a woman, the hijab just pretty much stands for being modest with your appearance and letting people see you for who you are, your personality and not just your looks.

Ketika kebanyakan orang memikirkan tentang hijab, mereka berpikir itu hanya sebuah pakaian. Tapi, bagi ku itu sebagai wujud identitas. Aku akui aku belum memakai hijab sepenuhnya, karena I dont think I've found a connection with it. Aku melepaskan my job setahun yang lalu ketika aku memutuskan melepas hijab, lalu menjauhkan diri sedikit dari komunitas muslim. I know maybe some of us are upbringings our mosques, made us have difficult relationships with hijab. Itu hal yang pernah aku rasakan so far. 

Aku tahu beberapa teman yang memakai hijab dan mereka mengatakan bahwa jika kamu tidak memakai hijab, maka kamu gak terkoneksi dengan islam. Banyak hijabers akan lebih memilih orang-orang yang tidak berhijab, mereka berpikir kami kaum yang sangat lemah dan kurang daripada a reader not as religious atau kami tidak sholat lima waktu dalam sehari. Pasti, kami melakukan kewajiban kami, yaitu sholat. Another question is "can we be equal? and not judge so much"

WANITA BERHIJAB ADALAH MUSLIM YANG BAIK

Ketika kita membaca Qur'an, kita punya interpretasi masing-masing. Tapi sudah pasti dikatakan dalam Al-Qur'an terkait cara berpakaian yang baik. 

Qur'an 24:31 : And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their private parts, that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their khimar over their breasts and not display their beauty and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. 

Dari ayat diatas, disimpulin hanya bisa menunjukkan wajah, tangan dan kaki. If God says it, then I definitely think thats better. Tapi, aku gak sepakat jika ada orang berlagak menjadi yang paling suci, baik dan benar comparing dengan orang lain, I dont see thats right. So rude!

Ive so much to say about this. Okay, I think a lot of people think that its like a point system. Oh iya, jilbab adalah ini dan ini, kemudian you know you got the "next level", aku tidak berpikir bahwa Allah is like "orang ini pakai hijab, you're good to go" dibanding orang lain yang tidak pakai hijab and you're out. I think everything else that you do weighs in. Aku tahu beberapa hijabers yang tidak mengikuti apapun dalam beragama, aku tahu banyak non-hijabers diluar sana yang juga sangat religius. Aku punya teman di instagram yang suka berpakaian apapun yang dia suka, tetapi dia sholat juga. And Im like aw damn she's better person. 

I found that like when it comes to behavior on the muslim community, I find that ritual takes precedent over behavior a lot of the times to the point where like people are just outright mean to each other, tetapi mereka tidak menyadari bahwa itu bagian dari dosa juga. When people say you're doing this wrong, its kind of like does deter your relationship a little bit, you second guess even your relationship with Allah which should be no complications, it should just be pure. Agree?

There's so many things that are disregarded essence because they dont seem like even like with interest or whatever they're like its technically a thing that people just overlook when it comes to hijab, that like everyones main focus, the scrutiny behind its like insane. 

I think the muslims create chaos around it. Because they want to feel like they're the right ones doing it the right way. I dont disagree about making excuses, Im not saying this thing is okay, but I dont think im going to go to hell for it. Im saying that im aware that im acting like this, but I just dont think of God as a punisher because I think that effects my relationship with God. I think of him as a very like loving, kind of like dont do this because I want to protect you, but I get why some ppl have the temptation to do it. I think if your actions affect other ppl, personally you're going to the hell and I know this can be nitpicked because like a man can look at you, I understand that but you know if Im choosing to dress the way I dress and that technically like does not hurt anyone else and its just my personal choice, I dont think youre going to the hell. I think its such a personal relationship between me and God although you know that kind of thing. It frustrates me when people get involved because Im like "Its none of your business", right let me do me, you know. 

I've not worn hijab, I do think its like a very loud image of Islam, I think its a very clear representation of it. It can be terrifying cause its like you're walking symbol at all times, but also I think its a very clear symbol of strength, I think it take a lot of strength to wear it. I dont know if I personally have that strength as of right now.
