You know for a long time I didn't understand hijab myself.

I mean, I always wore it, whether in Africa where I'm from because my community wore it as a part of our culture, and then here in the States where I grew up, clutching on to my Islamic identity post 9/11. For a long time, I too had a reductionist understanding of the hijab, about the male gaze, about it being part of culture, about following in the footsteps of my mother.

It was during the pandemic where things really hit me deeply. I spent more time reflecting and in prayer, in the confines of my home. One day, as I was ruminating in the prayer mat where I often like to rest my eyes, I looked down at my hands which were loosely covered with my polka dot chador. I examined myself, how comfortable I felt, how beautiful I felt from inside, light, airy, completely covered, natural. I was bare faced, but veiled from head to toe, with not a male in sight. I was as my Lord wanted me. Modest, even infront of myself. Shy, in the presence of my own soul. Respectful, of own personal space and body.

It was then that I began mourning what I once was. The hijab was not about the male gaze, it was about my own gaze. I was not my face, or my nice clothes, or the things I owned, or even my name. I was a soul, created by my Lord, and the only thing I would leave this world with was my soul. Nothing else mattered.

The hijab in and of itself is such a powerful system that demands looking beyond all that distracts us, even if that distraction is ourselves. It is an obligation, despite what others may say or think, because in it lies our holistic success. And as long as women and men champion it as a symbol of faith and piety, it will always be a threat to the ones who seek to chain us with unending distractions and pursuits of the Dunya.

QUESTION FOR TODAY

Harvesting the Fruits of Ramadhan

Sunday 1st Sha'wal, 1441
25th May,2020

What is my disposition to the narratives of the Qur'an if ,indeed, I have acquired Taqwah and BELIEVE THESE?👇
Al-Baqarah 2:63

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَٰقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "TAKE WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN YOU WITH DETERMINATION and REMEMBER WHAT IS IN IT that perhaps you may HAVE TAQWAH ( become righteous.)"

Al-Baqarah 2:65

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ

And you had already known about those who TRANSGRESSED among you concerning the sabbath, and WE SAID TO THEM, "BE APES, DESPISED."
Al-Baqarah 2:66

فَجَعَلْنَٰهَا نَكَٰلًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا خَلْفَهَا وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded [them] and a LESSON for THOSE WHO FEAR ALLAAH .

QUESTION FOR TODAY
16th Sha'ban,1441
9th April, 2020
Allaah warns concerning the Qur'an:
Ta Ha 20:99

كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَۚ وَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا

Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly GIVEN YOU from US the QUR'AN.
Ta Ha 20:100

مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وِزْرًا

Whoever TURNS AWAY FROM IT - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a BURDEN,

But before the Day of Resurrection, Allaah says with regard to the response of the arrogant disbelievers destined for destruction:

Ta Ha 20:134

وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ

And if We had DESTROYED them with a PUNISHMENT before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and disgraced?"

WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE OUR FATE POST CORONA SHOULD ALLAAH TAKE US TO TASK OVER THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF MAKING THE QUR'AN LIVE?
