"Mane minah tudung tu?"
A friend was once called me this during the 1st year of Poly and when I heard that, I get frustrated and replied in a way that he felt that he's in the wrong.
Well, let me share something about me. When I was a kid, my parents didn't really make a practice of wearing me a hijab. I was like any other kids with gowns,jeans,and you know the bare back clothes? Yes. I wore all of it. When I reached the age of primary school I wore mostly like a guy. Jeans and T-shirt,tucked out and sometimes with a cap. But when I'm at the age of 11, I wake up in the morning and told my mom that I want to wear hijab. Honestly, until now, I don't even know why I want to wear it.
Of course, not everything can be done correctly for the first time. Keep on trying until I got it. Alhamdulilah, with my mom guidance, I wear my hijab as proper like her. Not only I influenced my adik but also I did influenced the cousin both paternal and maternal side too. Alhamdulilah they kept that way until today. Syukran.
You see, hijab is not something you must take it lightly, it is something that allows you to cover your aurat. Aurat. Hair, skins and voice. That's aurat. Correct me if there's more, so far this is what I know. The only parts which are allow to reveal is your face and your two palms. Other than that, it is a must for us,girls to cover it.
I wear hijab because of my own wish and as I learnt along the way, it is also because of Allah. Wearing of hijab is based on your sincerity. Not because, "my mom asked me to wear it, so I wear", "my boyfriend asked me to wear it, so I wear" etc. Some people may took it their family or boyfriend's wishes into consideration and I respect or I think I salute them for that. One way or another, it's up to the individual. :)
There was once people asking me this question,"eh, you not hot ar wearing that on your head? Covered yourself like that?" All I can do is to smile and replied,"nope, I got used to it already." Why do I feel hot when I covered myself from the rays? Just imagined yourself not covered your feet with shoes and you stand under the hot sun. What would you feel? & compared it when you're wearing your shoes. I prefer to say, renung-renungkan lah. :)
Maybe some girls are not ready yet. I accept that. I'm not that perfect to ask other girls to wear. If they have the nawaitu, I'm happy for them and at the same time pray for them. Insyaallah, may their heart open to wear hijab. Sincerely. :)
Maybe some girls didn't quite understand the rules of wearing hijab. Hijab with tight clothes. Hijab with short sleeves. People just give them a stare or a smirk face or maybe just a whattt face. I don't understand this. Pray hard for them to change. Itu hanya ku mampu. & who say the hijab girls cannot dress up? Well, I used to think that it's impossible for us to dress up. There's noway for us to follow the trend. I think it wrongly. In fact, there's so many things to do. You can actually mix and match the clothes and be fashionable.
Ouh, how I love wearing hijab. It's for the sake of Allah. The only one who can really see my aurat is my family and my husband. :) [While typing the word, husband, I straight away think of you, :)]
End.
