[compilation from various muslimahs]
1. Because the Qur'an and Sunnah states so. Allah ordered us to wear the hijab and cover up to protect ourselves so we get the proper respect we deserve and not be treated like we are a piece of meat.
2. American soldiers walk around the city with their army uniforms with pride. Well I want to walk with the uniform that Allah (swt) has assigned to me with pride!
3. You get a lot of respect in the hijab from all your brothers and sisters and other people, than you did before your hijabi days
4. You can wear whatever you like under the abayah, light and cool dresses are good.
5. Despite that this world has hot weather, HELL IS HOTTER, so you rather suffer a bit on this world than the Hereafter.
6. No bad hair days to worry about!.
7. People know that you're a Muslim. You can distinguish yourself in this society. This is not in order to show off, but you can influence other Muslim women to do it and can attract good Muslim women to become your friend and also catch the attention of a pious Muslim man to come and ask for your hand in marriage.
8. Your hair isn't exposed all kinds of crappy pollution and UV rays.
9. Only the people you want to see your awrah, will see it...not every wierdo walking on the street.
10. Your skin is protected under the abayah
11. No bugs in your hair (no having to worry about catching nits from other people!)
12. You won't have to waste time in the morning deciding on the perfect outfit in the morning, if you wear jilbab.
13. Because you know your beautiful and you can keep all that beauty to yourself. You are like a diamond. Diamonds are only shown to special and specific people. It is not something to be worn around at all times and shown to everybody no matter who they are.
14. No one dares to mess with a hijabi sis while taking a walk.
15. You will feel closeness to every muhajabah you see on the road and to every Muslim you ever encounter
16. The inner feeling of peace you get when you wear it
17. Little girls look up to you, and want to be like you.
18. When guys see you, they respect you, they cross the street so they don't pass by you and offend you.
19. Because most pious brothers WON'T EVEN CONSIDER marriage with a non-hijabi (caution: your intention for wearing hijab should still be to observe the command of Allah)
20. Because there's more freedom in deciding who gets to see you rather than having anyone look at you and your beauty.
21. People treat you for your mind not your body. In the sense that you succeed in things (ie. job because of your performance and intelligence and not because how short your mini skirt is.
22. Because Muslims are required to practice Islam in every aspect of your life including everyone, not just nuns like in Christianity or only on Saturday for Jews, or only Sunday for Catholics all of whom cover on those days. Muslimahs should respect God at all times.
23. Beauty fades eventually, and with hijab people learn to love your inner beauty without the hinderness of your outer beauty.
24. Your husband and loved ones learn to appreciate your beauty both outside and in more, and these tend to be the most important people in your life of which you grace those special people with your gifts from Allah.
25. You are a shining example how women in Islam are so highly respected and valued and powerful in Islam. For example you are no mans trophy to adorn his hand, you are a companion, mother and friend of the insha'Allah religious brother who appreciates you and your beauty. There are other things where this applies as well.
26. It keeps you warm in the winter. You don't have to worry about trying to keep a hat on to stop your ears from freezing up! Plus the head is medically known for the place where a HIGH level of heat is released from the body!
27. Long Lasting. Hijab protects your hair for longer and keeps it shiny, healthy and in good condition.
28. Every time a man looks at me because I am not wearing hijab I would be getting sins because I would be helping the man committing a sin by looking at me (Surah 24:30)
Conclusion
In conclusion your body is on display in the market of Shaitaan seducing the hearts of men. The hairstyles, the tight clothing showing every detail of your figure, the short dresses showing off your legs and feet, the showy, decorative and fragrant clothing all angers the Merciful and pleases the Shaitaan. Every day that passes while you are in this condition, distances you further from Allah and brings you closer to Shaitaan. Each day curses and anger are directed toward you from the heavens until you repent. Every day brings you closer to the grave and the Angel of Death is ready to capture your soul.
Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Hellfire and admitted to Al-Jannah, is indeed successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). [Soorah Aale 'Imraan 3:185]
It is irrelevant if your intention is not bad while you wear hijab, you still have to obey the commands of Allah.
Even if you do not agree with the reasons for hijab, that is irrelevant and does not change the fact that it is compulsory on you. Maybe God doesn't want you to understand, nevertheless HE wants to see if you would still make sacrifices to please him.
Get on the train of repentance my sister, before it passes by your station. Deeply consider my sister, what is happening today before tomorrow comes. Think about it, my sister - Now, before it is too late!
