Tuition Payment, From Not Enough Money To To Much, Only Allah Provides, Trust

 
 
"And whoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him"
 
I loveeeee when I feel poor, but I put my trust in Allah, and I think of the ayah on how Allah provides from sources you don't know of" and then I actually see money come from no where. SubhanAllah this is the feeling of being content with what you have and trusting in Allah. This is how feeling rich feels! Rich feelings in the trust of Allah and Allahs plan for you alhumdAllah!
 
For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to save money to place more money towards my monthly tuition and I was worried but then I keept thinking to myself Allah will provide me with the money somehow. During those weeks I also was very short on money like were talking less then $100.00 in my account but I still wanted to make my various donations even though I felt like I couldn't I still did because I knew Allah would provide me with something amazing.
 
Today when I went to pick up my check for the two weeks I have worked (which would have covered only half of my tuition) my supervisor was telling me how I forgot to pick up check from September. She was like how can you do that!? I just laughed it off, and then I realized wow! The check from September and this month would give me enough money to pay my tuition! SubhanAlllah!! My supervisor thought it was bad that I had forgotten my check, but in my head I was thanking Allah for this beautiful blessing!!

 Now I not only have enough for my full tuition but I even have some left over money! Its amazing and not because I got the money, but because of the process.
AlhumdAllah,  just trust in Allah but don't forget to do your part!

And don't forget every American Dollar bill says "In God we trust!!!"

Men Love Hijab! Project #MenLoveHijab

 
 
Today while studying in a coffee shop I saw a brother I haven't seen for months in the Masjid. While we were catching up on masjid events such as todays breast cancer walk (mashAllah over 70 Muslims walked!). Then he started talking about his view of hijab and how he wants his wife to wear hijab because as a man he would get jealous of other men who would look at his wife. He said hijab is good for the lady wearing it and for her husband as it tells other men to respect her. Although I didn't show it , as a hijabi listing to a brothers view on his appreciation for hijab made me appreciate hijab even more!
 
 I later told these two girls that were with me about this conversation, and another past conversation I had with my non Muslim co worker who was asking me why some Muslim women cover fully and some wear makeup, tight clothes, etc. I learned so much from this conversation, for an example I was wearing flipflops and my nails were pink, he started to ask me if we were allowed to show our feet, then he told me how men are attracted to toes, I didn't believe it in the past but now I do!
 
InshAllah we want to start a project where we interview men (Muslim and NonMuslim, married or single, young and old) on their opinion of hijab to increase hijabi and non hijabis appreciation for hijab!
 
I think with the rise of hijabi "fashion" bloggers, Youtube videos, and promotion of everything that does not compile with hijab its time we offer an alternative a creative solution to this trend.
 
 We think we have to wear extra makeup, flip flops, tight clothes all in efforts to attract the men but once you talk to them about hijab,modesty, and etc their views will make you love your hijab even more!
 
 This project is to help raise awareness about the BEAUTY of simple hijab! I am very excited about this project, and I think anyone can contribute. 
 
About three years ago I came across this Mustfah Hosny video in which he talks to the really good looking "Mr.Egypt" and I was amazed at this mans beautiful words in which he appreciates the hijab and talks about dating and everything of that. The questions within this video is similar to what we can do! I think that video motivated me when I was younger,
 
Here is the English text of this video with this cutie!
 
Part 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFUaq2aBkQo
 
 
Mustfah Hosny: Why don't you have a girlfriend?
 
Ibrahim:
Firstly because there is nothing in our religion which allows us to date and have girlfriends.
 
Also any girl you date and you are not going to marry you are only hurting her and yourself. You hurt her because she is like your sister who you wouldn't want anyone to date and leave. You hurt yourself because you lose your self with feelings, hope, your time, for a girl who is not your wife.
When you are dating and you are not following the Quran, you are wasting your time, feelings, with someone you know you are not even going to marry.
 
 
Mustfa Hosny: Last time someone asked if dating is the  only way someone can get married, but we said dating is not the way to marriage
 
Ibrahim:
Let me tell you something ask any shab (young man) even the ones who go to the masjid , any man who is dating a girl, 90percent of them do not marry the girl he dated. And he is sure that he will not marry the girl he is dating, but he still tells the girl he is going to marry her.
 
He just wants to waste his time with this girl he is dating, or he just wants a girl on his side but in the end he does not marry her.
 
In a mans view any girl who seems easy he will never look at her as a potential wife because he thinks oh she probably dated a lot of other men before me
 
Mustfah :
I want you to tell me about your dream wife,
 
Ibrahim:
In the beginning you mentioned the girl who is to religious, wears a huge hijab and you think the men don't like her, but I swear to Allah if a girl who is so beautiful is walking past him but when he see the girl that you described in the middle (the religious, fully covered huge hijab), this girl is more precious and valueable in his eyes then the other girl.
 
This is something I feel, because there can be the most beautiful girl standing next to me but then when I see the girl who is protective over herself walhee she is not closed or not wanted, the man who understand will agree that this girl is more precious and valuable.
 
When you think about why you don't date you think of what is waiting for you.
 
Think of a gift, you choose the best gift, you wrap it beautifully, you are so excited to give the gift and  when you give the gift it is the best thing
 
Mustfah:
 
Girls, these are the words of Mr Egypt, to the girsl who don't date, that you are very very very very valuable over the easy girls in the eyes of the men who have understanding like Ibrahim.  
 
 
 
 
Mustfah Hosny :Sometimes people say that men are scared to marry the religious girl with the big scarf because they might wear the hijab at home (Sarcasm as Mustfah laughs!)
 
Mr Egypt: The issue is that the man who is used to sitting in the middle of lots of girls no longer have limits, so in the first seating together you see the beauty of these girls right away,
 
The girl who is really good and covered she does not show off her beauty right away, she only shows her beauty to her husband. She does not waste her time looking for appreciation or approval of her beauty from every man, rather she is saving her beauty for a man who..
 
Mustfah Hosny answers : a man who deserves her
 
A lot of us think that the girl who is dressed in full hijab that is big is also like this at home.
I want to say something she didnt come as a baby with hijab she knows that there is style and beauty but she doesn't get tricked into shyatans plan.
 
Mustfah Hosny: Ibrahim (Mr Egypt) when someone like you is looking to get married tell me what do you look for.
 
Ibrahim: You know I want my girl to be tall and beautiful (Start laughing)..
My mother is an example of who I want my wife to be like, she knew how to take care of the kids, house, she was very kind, and everything good that a woman needs to raise a good family.
 
As many as the things a man doesn't want in his wife, he only wants that his wife
reminds him of Allah, there is nothing better then this, this is the most important, she takes care of her house and family, and she stands with her husband in the good and bad times.
This is the girl that if any shab (young man) wants to be successful and open his house and before anything to go to Jannah he has to choose a girl like this. At the same time this doesn't mean that the girl cannot be pretty but a girl in my eyes can be very beautiful but in his eyes she is not beautiful. This is from Allah to see beauty in someone. You will get used to the beautiful looks.

A Visit To Hajj, A Dream and InshAllah a Reality

 





Imagine a  view like this for almost a week,  imagine salat there, imagine viewing sunset and sunrise there, imagine idhan there, imagine all the peace and tears and feelings of joy as you recite out loud I am here ya Allah, I am finally here ! I don't know why we even dream of luxury vacatins in Hawaii and such when we have the biggest luxury of life, a chance to go to this beautiful site!!!


 The most we can do for now is dream, dream that one day you will be one of those people at Hajj, dream and duaa

 
For now,watching the live Hajj viewings.
 
I thought Ramadan, taraweeh, and qiyam was amazing, imagine Hajj...
 
Ya Allah! Over three million people from every part of the globe, tell me when do so many people gather for the sake of God.
 
I was just reading a book about the Prophet and the first umrah journey, imagine if the Prophet were to come back and see how many people are in this Holy site now subhanAllah.

Hijabi Doll!!! Eid Gift For Me!


 
This is the most exciting Eid gift ever! A hijabi doll from a favorite store!
(well actually I got it for myself, because its just so cool!)
 
Yahoo News had an article about this new "Afghani Hijabi doll" which is sold in American stores! http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/muslim-doll-girls-finally-shelves-150300008.html
 
My friends thought I was joking but I really got myself a hijabi doll for Eid yup!!
 
I was so excited I showed the doll to the cashier, and wallhee she was probably more excited then me and nope she is not Muslim. She said WOW she is beautiful, this is soo cool! And she went and called the other cashier to come see the hijabi doll, even though there were other customers behind me lol.  This is a dawa doll!! Haha
 
And the best part about this doll is that she represents a real story, and $1 goes to charity within her hometown,
 
"Shola lives in city of Kabul in Afghanistan, where she spends her days with the circus. Shola and her older sister, Mehri, tragically lost their family, but have since found hope and peace by attending circus school. They are learning to read, do math, sing and even how to walk on stilts and juggle. Soon, Shola and her sister will leave Kabul to tour across Afghanistan, where they will teach and entertain other children like them who have experienced sadness in their lives. Now that Shola has found inner peace for herself, she is focused on brightening the lives of other children and hopes to see smiles flashed across their faces".
 
 She is very limited edition and I got the last two dolls on the shelf! Hahahah
 
So beautiful mashAllah with her hijab, and she has beautiful green eyes!

Dhul Hijah, Say ThankYou, ILoveYou, Show Kindness and Mercy

Make Dhul Hijah a taste of Ramadan, the month we all miss, the month of fasting, forgivness, and mercy ya Allah. Allow the people whom I hurt with my words to forgive, allow the people whom I forgot to thank to overlook this and remeber that Allah will always remeber what you do, allow those whom I have not shown kindess or mercy overlook this as they know only Allah is the Most Kind and the Most Merciful, ya Allah!!!
This is a post I wrote last year, but I think it is perfect for Dhul Hijah!

Say:ThankYou & ILoveYou, Show Kindness and Mercy

" You cannot win people with your wealth, but you can conquer their
hearts with your smiling faces and good manners"-AlBazzar

Quick Hadiths On Creating Good Realtions With Others

Say: Thank You

"He who does not thank people, does not thank Allah"-Prophet

This is one of my favorite hadiths I think my mom taught me it. I feel it is an important implication in our dealings with everyone from your parents, co-workers, friends,classmates, spouse, and anyone that comes in your way. People appreciate that simple "Thank You or JazkaAllahkhairn".

Yesterday, as a joke my aunt was saying thank you very much sarcastically to everyone in her way, although it was funny, there is no doubt she brought smiles to these people, and light to their hearts.


Say: I Love You

"When a man loves his brother he should tell him that he loves him"-Prophet

Again, this is small but very important statement that can help you keep good relations with the people around you. Especially when you say I love you for the sake of Allah.

Show Kindness

" It is not kindness to be kind to those who you know, but kindness means that you are
kind to all human beings" -Prophet

Kindness can be seen through your words,actions, and body language.

Show Mercy
" Allah is merciful to those who are merciful to others, so be merciful to those on earth, Allah will have mercy on you. Preserving relations with the kin (Family) is prescribed by Allah. He who mainted the blood relations, strengthened his bond with Allah, and he who severed them, is cut off from Allah"-Prophet
So you want mercy from the Most Merciful? Start by showing mercy to others.


Show Forgiveness

"He who does not forgive others, Allah will not forgive him." -Prophet

If Allah forgives His creations who are we to not forgive His creations?



Finally: Dont Make People Run Away


I never heard of this one I love it
"Make things easy, and do not make them difficult,
and give good tidings and do not make people run away"-Prophet

#HijabiFashion A New Trend of #Immodesty

Now Trending: #hijabfashion:
tight clothes, tiny hijabs, tiny turbans, tons of bracelets with arms showing, tons of makeup which would be to hard to remove if I needed to make wudu, hair showing, body shape is shaped,


And the best part :the # of followers: over thousands of sisters who are following these trends and ideas, and millions of men who are also viewing. 
 
Over the past couple of months, one thing I have been talking to people about is this new trend of hijabi outfits of the day, or posting videos showing off their outfits but tagging them with tags like #hijabi #modesty but they don't represent this. 
As a hijabi,you better look your best at work or in school, you better look clean because you are a walking dawa! But you dont need tons of makeup, tight clothes, or weird hijab styles in efforts of looking fashionable, but rather you need to be moderate, you need to be clean and presentable while following the rules of hijab, you need to be able to exhibit modesty.

Dont attract the eyes of man who is a fool and simply wants to admire you, but rather attract the eyes of the man who will remember Allah when he sees you to the point where he will want to marry you for this reason, not because you were looked good in that sexy hijab you got on or your face of makeup that can be washed off in minutes. Oh and if you are married, you and your husband are the fools for which husband would allow his wife to attract the eyes of other men? A fool wallah!

Ask any of those fashion bloggers to post pictures without makeup, it is hard. Because all of the sudden we get this Image that without the makeup they are not as beautiful.
Why cover your face in loads of makeup, when you can be covered in nour!
 I remember a couple of months ago I had a veryyyyy interesting conversation with one of my non Muslim male co workers, I don't exact words but , he saw me wearing flip flips and I had my nails painted because I couldn't pray (first time in a very long time! but never again lol). He started asking me if Muslim women have to cover their toes, I said it depends on what you follow. He said men do get attracted to toes. He said that colored nails are also attracting. I honestly never thought a man can get attracted to your toes, and after that conversation I dont think I wore flip flops again lol.
Then he started asking me why some of our Muslim women students come in with lots of makeup, hair showing, and tight clothes. I told him the hijab is supposed to bring less attention to a womens beauty and spoke about modesty. He arted telling me the history of makeup and how makeup was created to enhance the womens beauty. Although he was simply talking, I was contemplating upon his words which made me think twice about modesty.
He makes me want to learn more of what men both Muslim and Non Muslim think of hijab, makeup, fashion etc. Looking forward to doing more  interviews on this topic, will definitely share them with you all as soon as I start, possibly start at work this week inshAllah! If any of you have any brothers you can interview do it and share their answers. Show them pictures of hijabis without makeup and loose clothes, and then show them a hijabi fashion blogger see what they say.

Forgotten One? Favors? More Like Opportunities From Allah

 

On Thursday I said no to two favors from people who never ask about me unless they are in need, I was sad and upset. I started to think about the Prophet and he was so kind to his friends and how he always remembered them, can you imagine the Prophet forgetting about Ali or Omar? 


While I writing this post I was thinking about the many lectures, conferences, or etc I have attended alone in the past year. But then I thought to myself, sorry to all whom I have said no to, and alhumdAllah for being alone because  Allah has answered my duaa, and "Ina Allah aind al qulb al muqasreneen" "Allah is with those who are broken hearted". Because sometimes it is though the broken heart you are able to remember Allah, the One who will remember you if you remember Him. People wont always remember you, they will forget you, but let the thought that Allah remembers you make you smile. I swear to Allah, the best times in life are those moments when you truly feel like Allah remembered you, when He provides you with answers to your duaa, or when He shows you His signs, ya Allah.
A favor from anyone, including the one who has forgotten you should never get us mad, because when someone in need it means Allah remembered you,  Allah the Most Merciful is giving you an opportunity to help . An opportunity to give for the sake of Allah, because everything you give will be added to your tab inshAllah..not in this dunya but in Jannah...with this mindset you will not feel forgotten because Allah is the One who remembered you, He choose you for the good deed, what an honor huh!?

Sometimes we only make duaa to Him when we are in need, and He is still  The Most Merciful, He is still The Giving.

Oct 2013, Syria Documentary, BBC News


Randomly came across the screening of BBC News Saving Syria 50minute special. This video gives a VERY inside look of the Syrian situation, including veryyyyyy hard to view scenes. If you are not strong dont watch the last 20minutes which shows recordings of severely burned patients right after the chemical attack, the beginning is less graphic and basically makes you feel like you are actually in Syria with the Syrians, but  their pain and fear is so much couldn't even fully watch the post chemical attack scenes, imagine being there?


Saving Syria's Children
Duration: 50 minutes
In a special edition, Panorama travels with British doctors inside Syria to exclusively reveal the devastating impact of the war on children caught in the conflict. The doctors witness the aftermath of the bombing of a school by a suspected napalm-like incendiary device and medical facilities constantly under attack - both war crimes under international law. Filmed in the north of the country after the chemical weapons attack in Damascus which inflamed world opinion and brought America, Russia and the UN to the table, the film shows how the conventional war is intensifying with children bearing the brunt of this humanitarian catastrophe



Fall Season, Can You Count How Many Leaves There Are? How Many Trees? Only Allah is Al Alim

Backyard


Theres this  khitam al Quran duaa in which Sheikh Mishary says (not exact words):

" And He knows the weight of the mountains, and the weight of the oceans , and the count of the leaves of the trees"
State Park
 
One of the proofs of Allahs Knowledge is those things mentioned in that duaa...who other then Allah knows how many leaves are on the trees in the whole world, can you even count how many trees there are in one city alone? Who other then Allah knows the weight of the all of the mountains?! Who other then Allah knows the amount of water that exists in the whole world?
 
 None but Allah, He is The All Knowing, Al Alim
 
SubhanAllah ya Rabee !
 
 
My state is known as the Garden state, and when its the Fall season, you will notice the amazing range of colors of the trees. I wanted to stop at a State Park today to take pictures of the beautiful scenes but didn't want to go alone lol my mama wouldn't like that...! Its good I did not go because all of the state parks are closed due to the government shutdown!!
 
But alhumdAllah I finally got to go! I went alone, and just enjoyed, subhanAllah amaaaaazingggg
 
State Park
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

HalalWeddings.com, Coming Soon, Now Trending Lol!!

 
Last post: "Haram Weddings, Ugly Trend, Arab Culture , Hijabi Takes Off Hijab"
 
Now lets talk about the ideal Muslim wedding, the wedding trend I would want to start,suggestions for anyone who is getting married soon.
 
 I would love to plan  Muslim weddings  for the fun of it, a  business,hahaha.
 Call it  HalalWeddings.com !
 
Before you think about everyone who is going to be at your wedding, and making sure they enjoy,
think about this " What do you want Allah to think of your wedding?"?
 
Bridal Look:
 
Oh you want that beautiful bridal look right? You want to cover your face in tons of makeup until you can shine? Do you want to show off your beautiful shape in that tight gown?
 
Keep your full hijab in effect, yes wear a nice gown ofcourse but don't look to beautiful you only want your husband to see that beauty, not every man at your celebration.
You will be shining in noor (light)
 
Its on Friday Jumaah!
 
Host a wedding on a Friday, the best day of the week for the Muslim, a day which is already filled with blessings. Christians host their weddings on a Sunday because thats thier juamaah equivalent but how often have you attended a Friday wedding? I only attended 1 wedding on a Friday!
 
Location?
 
Start off at the Mosque,followed with a dinner at a restaurant or hall , yum.
And make sure you are feeding your guests with halal food!!
 
 (you wont believe how many weddings I have attended were not halal food).
 
Theme Color?
 
Green, the Prophets favorite color, the color of the gowns of Jannah inshAllah!
 
Entertainment? 
 
 Invite cool speakers to your wedding, let them take over the dance floor because there wont be no dancing (maybe you can allow for mens only dabka, as dabka is okay in the Eid celebrations).
 
Music ?
 
If you do play music choose some songs that encourage people to make duaa for you, Maher Zains three wedding songs "BarakAllah lakuma" "MashAllah" and "For the rest of my life" are going to have your audience sing along in remembrance of Allah! (It would be cool to just bring him as your singer haha!)
 
BarkaAllah Lakukma (this song is the duaa people are supposed to say to you when you get married, not the use less pharse "mabrook!" Yes say mabrook, but add some blessed words to your words!
 
 
Looking for a cute cake song ?
Maher Zain , for the rest of my life song is awesome, he says "I pray we are together in Jannah" Oh come on whats more romantic that singing about going to Jannah together, talk about lala land!
 
This is his newest song called "MashAllah"
People are always worried about "hasad" on their wedding, esp Arabs, so why not playing a song which gets people to sing MashAllah!
 
 
Money gifts? Donate them if you can!
 
 If you can afford this, tell your guests you are going to donate their monetary gifts to humanitarian relief...just imagine how much BARAKA Allah will place in your own wealth for doing this subhanAllah.

Haram Weddings, Ugly Trend, Arab Culture , Hijabi Takes Off Hijab

 
 
 
 
What is the worth of culture when cultural traditions which are wrong, override Islamic traditions?
 
Celebration is not the problem but the problem lies within the format.
 
Change the format to fit Islamic traditions, and forget culture!!
 
I hate the culture of Arab weddings (not every wedding, but the ones that are haraamm!)
 
 
Lately I have been seeing a lot of pictures and videos of weddings that are disturbing, because when you see a picture of a hijabi without a hijab on her wedding displayed to thousand of viewers on FaceBook, or now we have Instgram, you see everyone commenting "beautiful mashAllah" "wow!" I am just thinking where is your hijab?!! Why are there men and women dancing together?
Why are you smiling, are you not embarrassed? And why are people encouraging you and complimenting your sins?
 
When a sin is done publicly then remember the hadith:
"All of the sings of my followers will be forgiven except of the one who commits the sin openly to the people".This hadith makes sense (ofcourse!) think about it, once one bride sees another bride take off her hijab in a mixed wedding then it will become common and eventually a trend.
 
Taking off your hijab and hosting a haram wedding, then displaying it on FaceBook is definitely a popular Arab trend that has become acceptable subhanAllah. 
 
Her life time hijab that she wore to preserve her beauty for that one man she is marrying, but then he allows her to remove the hijab to display the beauty to him and the world, why? Its culture! I think the man who allows and encourages his wife to remover her hijab and beautify herself in front of hundreds of men is an idiot!!!
 
Culture teaches Arab girls that its okay to remove your hijab on your henna, wedding, and whatever other party these Arabs be hosting but God forbid you go to college without your hijab, people might talk, but its funny that no one talks when she is removing her hijab on her wedding.
 
Its ironic that the same people (family) who forbid her and even the groom from attending any haram gatherings such as parties, or clubs actually foster this haram environment on their wedding when they invite over 300 people to join them in celebration....
 
It is not okay to have men and women on the same dance floor, and mind you the women are dressed in tight dresses, lots of makeup, ohh its okay its a wedding we must do this. Oh and you got a nice singer who is singing provocative songs buts its okay these are cultural songs!
 
One of my favorite parts is how much gold the bride receives and how much it is showed off, like there is a whole part of the wedding and even henna dedicated to this showing. Its supposed to be a sign of wealth, and richness,but I think it is embarrassing and low class as you are only showing off a characteristic that is disliked the characteristic of showing off.
 
Mind you the bride cannot make any of her salat on her wedding because she might ruin her make up and she cant cover her hair with a scarf then she will ruin it!!
 
 
Looking forward to seeing more weddings that are based on the best culture, the culture of the Propeht.
 
So far the only blessed wedding I have been to is that of my best friend Diana. She is the first bride I know whos wedding was at the ICPC masjid, she wore full hijab , the white dress fully covered, no music just the sheikh making duaa, and the best part of her wedding was when she, the bride prayed! I never see brides pray on their wedding...how can they make wudu with all that makeup looool what a bad problem! Everyone left her wedding saying how it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended, because you felt the Baraka, and the angels were probably there upon us. The angels wont go to a wedding in a haram environment...

To Hot To Handle Thats Why I Have To Wear Hijab!!



I came up with the perfect pick up line hijabis can you use whenever someone asks why do you wear hijab: Simply tell them "I am to hot to handle!" LOOOOL...but on a serious note,
 SubhanAllah the women of Islam have the best gift and that is the gift of hijab and the best characteristic which is that of modesty. Yet we choose to throw away this gift for that one glance he can give you, or those small moments and comments which give you false confidence in which you think you are beautiful because he looked at you or called you beautiful, but you are only selling yourself for those few moments which will not even last in his memory as you are probably one of hundreds.

 Whenever you feel like you are seeking "approval" from a man for your good looks, and you feel "unconfident" because the girl next to you is looking hot and you are hiding the same beautiful body and hair under your sexy loose hijab, remind yourself of the day when you will meet a man who will make you his number 1 and only 1, inshAllah. He will appreciate you for your hijab and although no other man will ever know how sexy and beautiful you are, at least the man of your world will know. You two will walk in the streets and maybe you wont look your best at that moment, but your husband knows what he got, and that's all that matters!  I am not married, and I dont know how I just wrote all of that but I am sure any married women can agree with what I just said! May Allah always allow for the Muslim husband see and appreciate how beautiful their hijabi wife is!MashAllah
Sometimes I think to myself ohhhhh I wonder how "professional" I would look if I came to work or to class in the short skirt, tight top, high heels, and hair done! Then I think to myself of how much I appreciate the hijab, and much freedom it truly gives! I imagine how I would be so scared to walk alone if it wasn't for my hijab...how would I walk alone with a sexy look without getting bothered!? But with my hijab I am not worthy to look at alhumdAllah! Hahaha that sounds funny right?
Whenever I show my non Muslim female co workers my pictures without hijab they are in complete shock (they were probably expecting to see a ugly picture!) and they ask whyyyyy do you cover...if they only knew how amazing hijab makes a woman feel! Then when I explain to them that only our husbands get to see us at our best!  They think this is beautiful and they appreciate hijab tooo!
I love my hijab because I can meet with my male students without worrying about them looking at me as a "cutie" , but rather respect me for who I am. I remember when I was training one of my colleagues and she was wearing a short dress that was quite revealing, and a student came in for advising, the first thing he said to her is "you are really cute". How awkward, and annoying is that, loool , when he left we started laughing, but I was thinking to myself alhumdAllah for hijab!!!
The best part of hijab is you know how sexy you are,  but you don't need the world to know!!
