This is a poem I wrote at the request of a sister please feel free to forward and post as widely as possible. Also Sister Shifa from this forum helped me with some of the lines and ediitng, so jzk to her for her efforts. Also when forwarding please leave the link to this forum inshAllah. Hijab with tight clothing http://www.7cgen.com/index.php?showtopic=7227 When u wear the hijab u feel good Coz u know its right But when u put on your tight fitting clothes The angels take flight And stop singing your praises You’re caught up in the middle Being Muslim and western Your mind knows that its Allah u should obey and follow But you’re confused About which pill to swallow And u try and follow the middle path Even though u know their aint no such thing But u just can’t resist not wearing bling You’re young and vulnerable In a society that’s just corruptible Taking advantage of your naivety Models with size 6 and 8 clothing On the billboards and magazines Brainwashing u It’s hard to resist And they persist Pictures everywhere Nowhere is safe So u gotta buy those clothes And go on a starvation diet to make sure they fit Doesn’t always go with the hijab But u try and make it all blend in Coz you’re a victim of fashion Which in every nation Is like a God Dictating and manipulating Young minds Filled with false images of beauty Trying to conform I know coz it affects me to People comment and talk about u Behind your back they stab u With words Cut like a razor Are u aware? Does it not faze ya? Upset ya Make u feel that you’re letting down your deen What’s the point Wearing a hijab With tight clothing Gaining reward And losing it When u put on your tight jeans and top Should u not stop and think? U cry modesty in self defence Make the non-Muslim woman the basis And say Islam urges modesty and moderation Quote modernist scholars Those who sell out Islam for just a few dollars You say women in the west are oppressed And slaves to man and society Have no respect or dignity Used and abused like products But what about you Who are u a slave to? Allah or fashion? U always justify And compare and contrast With those who wear less than u My words may be harsh But u know it’s true I’m only saying What others are thinking And saying behind your back Giving u advice Coz your actions are harming us It’s easy to judge And harder to change and budge From following kufr At least u make an effort But Islam we take completely Coz halfway Islam don’t mean nothing on the last day When we will all stand in front of Allah naked Authors: Showkotali@hotmail.com and Shifa |

Jzk and BarakAllah fik for your kind words, indeed all praise is due to Allah swt who has blessed humans with many abilities which we should use to spread the message of Islam. Via reading, observation and discussions i am able to understand and explain what people are thinking. I have a keen interest in Sociology and human Psycology which was inspired by reading some of the books of Sheik Taquidin Nabhani RahimAllah. Please continue to forward and send me comments and suggestions for poems inshAllah. |

Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Great topic. It always drives me crazy when I see this. It's so irritating. I'm like 'don't u get the point of hijab. why do u wear hijab and dress like Britanny Spears from the neck down.' I don't get it. It defeats the whole purpose. Good work. JazakumAllah khair. |

A reply i got to this poem by a sister and thought i would share. "That was the most touching poem I've ever read yet it's so true. Thank you Showkat, Its made me thinking... but when a girl dresses up I dnt think she does it to impress people, its about personal comfort. I wear hijab, I have to say it doesnt cover me properly, I've always tied it up in a fashionable way, and tight clothing... well when i dress up I always like to have an extra layer jus to cover up, tho I'd say I have clothing that show the shape of my body but not fitted. Wot can I say, I'm a size 6 which can be quiet a mission to shop for especially in petite, even tho that is quiet loose, so I dnt think I've hit the line, but next time I go shopping for clothes I will consider the points in your Poem. Thank you " |
