Why I wear hijab

Salam and hello, people. :)

Today I want to write about a quite sensitive issue, but an issue that always on my mind. :) It's about why I wear hijab or head scarves and cover up my body.

What do you think of when people ask you why you wear a hijab and what's benefit of it? if you are a muslimah.

And if you are non-muslim or a brother, why do you think that islam asks their women to cover up their body except for face and hands?

Some of popular answers that I heard since I was a kid is like "to prevent harassment from men"and it is quite a popular belief that wearing a hijab completely can prevent a woman from being harassed or involved in sexual crimes. I would say NO WAY to that beliefs. I will talk about why I think hijab alone cannot prevent us from becoming victims in another post when I have time and mood to write about it because it's gonna long and today I just want to say why I wear my hijab.


My answer is really simple. It's because Allah asked me to do so(here I don't know if the word "ask" is suitable in this context or not, maybe ordered?required?is more suitable), that's the only reason why I wear hijab.


It would be lie if I say that I never wanted to run in beach without my head scarves. It would be a lie if I say that I never felt like want to curl my hair, dress in pretty one piece and walk in a pair of lace sandals. But when I think of how my act will disappoint The Prophet Muhammad alaihi salam when I meet them in world after(if I could), it's not worth to do. It's not worth if I make the best man in world, the man who love his ummah so much and the man who cared about us muslimah until his last breaths, sad. I just can't.


I don't have any reason why I shouldn't obey my God's order. If I wear hijab beause people around me, or because I'm scared of my mom or dad, I would probably take off my scarf here because if I do not say anything, people here do not know that I'm a muslim, they won't tell me to wear my hijab even if they knew. In fact, there's quite many muslims who quit to follow some islam's rules when they are out of their country. But I don't want to do so because it's about me and Allah, one-to-one. It's not that my life will be threaten or my health condition will be bad if I wear hijab. I  do not have any prolem in my hijab.


If you think wearing a hijab can prevent you from becoming a victim of sexual crimes, you have to be careful and rethink about it deeply because from my experience, I got more harassment from muslim men when I'm in my so called "islamic" country Malaysia. Now I'm living in a non-muslim country but so far men here do not stare me like I'm a piece of meat and they do not flirt easily with me. I'm not saying that non-muslim men are better than muslim men when it comes to respect a woman (tapi kalau korang nak terasa, sila la sapa yang makan cili tu ye) but I just want to say that you are not safe even though you are wearing a hijab unless guys do not lower their gaze and respect you as a lady, a woman, a sister.

And I really hate to hear some people say it's women's faults why these day there are so many social problems such as zina, buang anak, keruntuhan akhlak, dan sebagainya. And some people also say that if all women wear hijabs completely and cover their aurah completely, there won't be such problems. Crazy, and really unfair! How could you punish your weak sisters just because you men cannot control yourselves? It's really clear that men are stronger in physical and mental so why men cannot control their nafsu? Are our men are that weak, can't resist to see some girls' body? then lower your gaze! Allah asked us to cover up so why can't you also do your part by lowering your gaze!If you blame girls for social problems, then why dont't each of you take a really good care of your sisters daughters and girl friends? If each of you take care of your family members and do not let them wear seductive clothes or act immodestly, then it won't be any problem, right? Pastu leh plak cakap "sian anak dara tua ni, makin meningkat bilangan anak dara yang tak kahwin, makin banyak masalah social, kesian dorg tak de orang jaga" dan jadikan alasan untuk kahwin lebih, mmg wtf gila ah.


Yes, this is my opinion. Tak puas hati? Terasa? But it's MY opinion and I do not force anybody except my lil sisters to wear hijab, so don't make a fuss about it.


Lastly, as always, thank you for reading<3 sorry if this sounds harsh but I'm being honest. ^^

white dress

Another summer look that I got during the sale. I told already that I bought mane white pieces and this maxi dress is one of them. It's lacey and a little bit girly, what I like about this maxi is because it is white, it can match any color of scarves that I have so I just grab any scarf and go in my lazy day! Denim shirt is really useful too, it gives me a handy cover for my arms ant it's not that thick. I like to tie it to draw attention to my upper body, gives me look like a little bit taller. lol Poor vertically challenged people ;like me!
And the orange flowery scarf is one of my favourite scarf, I bough it in Damansara and it was quite pricy for me at that time, RM45 I think. And shop owner was sombong and didn't give a good service but still I bought it because from first sight, I knew that this is a scarf that I HAVE to buy. LOL Because of the length, I had some problem to wear it at first but not anymore. Now I love long shawls to hide my neck and chest area, plus now volume style is so in! I super hate the thin short ciffon shawls that were popular one time, ala yang leh beli kt pasar malam dgn harga 10ringgit tu. You know what, that type of shawl's cost is only around 2 or 3 ringgit, then they sell it  to you for 10 to 15ringgit padahal tak membantupun untuk tutup aurat secara elok.
Now I dah tobat da, I am now interested in more lengthy hijab, more than 50cm width and 150cm length.

Better to be choosy than regret it later, right? ;)
lagi pun kalau dah beli, mesti rase sayang kalau tak pakai walaupun leh ternampak leher dan sebagainya...membazir!kate kan..(cis padahal apa guna kalau niat pakai utk tutup aurat tapi sbb syg kt duit rm10 tu habis nmpk aurat..)

summer style

rase cm pakcik kt france yg pegi berkebun lak.hehe Skirt and shirt are the ones that I bought during summer sale. I love the skirt because it can be worn as one piece with or without straps. The shirt is quite over sized, so I can tie it in front to prevent too saggy look. I can wear it with skinny pants because it cover my curve, which is good for a hijabi. :)
I feel so nerdy when I wear bawal tudung, because now I got used to wear shawls in my daily life, Tapi rase bes pulak ad bntuk kt dahi tu sbb rasa cm ayu je, budak baik.hehe

Speech Contest

Salam and hi guys! I've been REALLY hectic last week (and this week and next week)  and viewers for this blog become less and less. :( Ntah bila la nak tambah kenalan kt blog world ni, jarang tengok blog orang lain so orang pun tak datang blog sy.hehe

last Sunday, I had a speech contest that held by club I joined in my university. Of course, I wasn't the one who gave speech, I'm too shy to speak in front of people. :p I went there to help my seniors and friends. There is one senior of mine, who really works hard and help us a lot even though it's not his responsibility. He is the chief for this contest so I didn't mind to come though I was so busy with Spanish test, presentation and report to send on next Monday. Siapa tak nak tolong orang baik kan? Dah dia berbudi dengan kita, kita kenalah balas jasa dia. :p

It was fun, actually. We wore formal attires and it was like we are pretending to be salarymen and OLs! I can't imagine my friends and me will grow up to adults, in 2 years and wear suits everywear to work. It's just funny. Like we were doing cosplay together.

I don't have a proper jacket for a formal event, I don't want to wear JPA suits ever again!(which I already sent back to my home) I don't have a formal-looking shoes to wear too so I just took my suede high heels. lol I should do shopping for a complete formal look. So I wore a jacket, white shirt, stripe slacks, and satin scarf that I got from my mom.

Do I look like a working lady? :p

I like silk square scarf, it makes me feel like (or make me berangan ) I look like an Iranian lady. It looks classic, formal, and sophisticated. My Japanese friends like it too, they said that I look different from other days!

Cam-whoring before the contest

It was a good day because organizers for the contest gave us who were helping, a burger (I got vegetable rice burger, yummy!) and drinks for lunch. I also got a green tea shake, which was amazingly fantastic!!!! I will go Mos again definitely and post the picture of it. You will be drooling! hehe
