THE VEIL

I offend thee, yes i offend thee, i just dont know why,
You stop and stare and glare at my clothing,
Ninja i hear and even darth vader,
But who cares who cares no not I !!

For respect of my body is a faithful advantage,
Who cares about wordly advances ?
you can keep your skimpy clothing,
And you can keep your fake looks,
I would rather be a ninja or even darth vader,
I am content as I am,
I pray my Lord remain pleased,
I don't care for your ignorant perceptions,
Or your fashion conscious conceptions,
Who cares, who cares, no not I !!

Wearing the veil and covering my face has positively changed my life. It has brought me closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى it has simplified my life, protects me from lewd glances and evil advances of men. Covering up makes me feel independent, more confident, protected and more in my feminine natural state. It is a shaytanic myth by those who do not have the understanding behind covering, that Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed His commandments for prophetic times only, the truth is all of Allah سبحانه وتعالى laws and commandments were revealed with farsightedness for all times in existence. So to all those voices rushing to speak on my behalf, wanting to free and liberate me from my self-respect so I may follow the shameless immodest dress and lifestyle of the lost immoral society of today. Please allow me the freedom to cover as i please and allow me the freedom to protect myself. Whilst you have the freedom of speech also allow my voice to be heard.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
may Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept all our efforts. Aameen

"When we wake up in the morning with no illness or disease, who do we thank for this kind generosity?
a day spent in ignorance and sin, but allah's hand still continues to feed, no strength required, just love and devotion for the deen
why should i not cover my face and body, and abide by the commandments of the Almighty, when he loves us all unconditionally, and bestows upon us his kindness, forgiveness and mercy continually!!"

Assalamualaykum dear sisters,

I pray that you are all in the best of health and Imaan. That poem was truly a powerful one. I felt really touched by it. I look up to sisters who cover their faces, and I one day intend(soon InshAllah) to start wearing the veil.

The pleasure of Allah سبحانه وتعالى should soley be the intention for all our good actions.

Ameen wa thuma ameen to all duaas.

By the way would just like to say 'Ahlan wa sahlan' (welcome) to sister Taalibah and muslima, I noticed that you both recently joined.

Remember me in your duaas.

Wassalam
