You Have Been Lied To – Hijab Truth Will Shock You

Dear sister, you know, you should wear the hijab, but you think you have strong reasons not to write. Okay, let's clear away the noise. top searches in Google are loaded with content which exist solely to create confusion about the beautiful obligation for believing women to cover ourselves in a specific way. Who is making all this noise? And how do we Muslim women cope with something that will affect all our time outside the home? A little bit of digging shows that a network of academics and organizations committed to secular democracy are pushing an agenda of confusion relating to hijab, and other elements of our faith. I know it's hard to navigate this online attack, it really

is a minefield out there. And this makes it easy to be put off wearing the scarf and difficult to know who to ask. But taking time to understand this way of life, and its expectations and parameters is absolutely essential, and you should not be put off why? For the benefit of your own soul. So where do we find sound guidance of the kind which will ultimately lead us to our desired destination? Allah's pleasure? Well, let me ask you this, would you go to a motor salesman to buy a bicycle, or a butchers for vegan ingredients? Western academia, or social media for that matter, are not the spaces to begin your voyage. The navigators to the great truths of Islam must be those who

have previously or are currently traveling the route of belief. Here's an easy exercise to give us some clarity. Go to Google Now if you like and type in female scholar of Islam, not female lecturers or influencers please, scholars now take a look at the photos. Here are some of the names that came up on my search from the list offering real advice on all aspects of life as a Muslim woman, including what ally expects of us in terms of modesty. The esteemed learned women on the list include or stanza, Mary and the mere answer Tamra gray will stanza Yasmin Majapahit Shekar Fatima Baca Tula Dr. Ingrid Mattson shaker Aisha prime. So how many of these respected female scholars do

not wear hijab? The Hanser unsurprisingly is zero. And who do I learn it sisters take their teaching from who are their examples? Are they guided by Harvard professors or Instagram influencers?

Aisha may Allah be pleased with her his beloved wife called Mother of the Believers and the righteous women who down the generations of 1400 years since then have all guess what covered themselves for one reason alone, the pleasure of Allah to Allah. Be careful when asking information on the Holy Quran and our Prophet Muhammad peace upon him from those who are not there to guide you to success

in faith. Islam is in the doing the actions not merely the thinking, but you know what? I hear you, hijab is a big commitment. It's a huge external signpost of what we believe and it's there for everyone to see and judge but no, this being beautiful in the eyes of others will never feel as good as being special in the eyes of our Lord.
