The Full Time Decision (Comments)

My dear sisters in Islam, I have chosen this topic for discussion because I can relate very well to it. Most of us, in general most Muslim sisters in the Indian-subcontinent – we do hijab when we go out. We wear abaya when we go out. But, when it comes to any special occasions like weddings and such events, why don’t we wear our abaya? And if we do, then why don’t we wear our hijab?

I Got It Covered (IGIC for short) is a blog about hijab, but for those of us involved in the project, it’s so much more. IGIC is a perfect example of how we should never belittle the smallest of ideas, never underestimate the power of a simple suggestion. It’s a lesson in taking time out to plan and work behind the scenes, like a seedling which grows underground before poking its head out of the soil. It’s an illustration of the beauty of teamwork and sisterhood, and working together for the sake of Allah. But let’s back up for a minute. What is IGIC, again, and how did it all start?

3 minutes and 56 seconds, that’s all it took. That is all it took for me, in my public speaking class, to stand up in front of a crowd of Non-Muslims, a crowd of people that have been brainwashed for years by the media to believe that Islam oppressive to women, to clarify its beauty to women. To explain that the hijab found in Islam, frees women. I stood there, my voice loud and clear, confidence and passion up, eye contact maintained with my audience, hand gestures utilized at all the right times, and revealed to them, the truth of hijab.
Ya Ummi: Is it Too Late? (Comments)

As I was looking across the list of terms for that particular day, it was this string of words that caught my eye: “Too late to put the hijab back on?” Like I said, there’s no way for us to know who made that search, and the anonymity provided by the internet can be a blessing. But somewhere out there, it seemed, is a person – a sister, perhaps – wondering if it’s too late for her to put her hijab back on. Maybe she’s young, and maybe she’s old. Maybe she wore the hijab for years before taking it off, and maybe just one day. Whatever her circumstances, she’s wondering now if there’s any way back.
