| WOMEN OF THE VEIL by Hena Farooq Her long, thick, shiny black hair Fell against her back. Her rich, copper skin Gleamed in the sunlight. Her slender figure outlined, With her soft voluptuous curves. But when she stepped outside, She became a ghostly figure of the night. Nothing more to the people Than a dark, shadowy figure of oppression. But she showed them. As she walked down the street, People made way, Men lowered their gazes in utmost respect. And others whispered, As she held her head up high, With pride in her belief And showed them how oppressed she really was! While they whistled at their women, Looking them up and down as they were pieces of meat to be inspected? She pitied their savage ways. As she walked into the arms of her partner, Her only love, Her husband. Where she was transformed, Into her beautiful self, For only his eyes to see. :-* |

| [center] [slm][size=2][font=Copperplate Gothic Light][color=Navy] Sisters in Islam -- unknown -- No longer shackled by the oppression of miniskirts & see-thru shirts, my sisters stand proud. Covered by cloth & more so by conviction submission to Allah, they stand apart from the crowd. The taunts, the jeers, the stares, the leers Never fazing or dissuading them from following the deen. Real women they be, the epitome of femininity strong, secure, complete human beings. Not slaves to the world of fashion which is always askin' for women to dress in as less as they can. Their hijab is for the sake of Allah In imaan and taqwa they refuse to be objectified by man. Such are my sisters in Islam. [/color][/font][/size] [wlm][/center] |

| [slm] [i]THE ELEGANT HIJAB[/i] The pea is a splendid plant. It proudly displays its strong green Hijab. It protects it from the hot and cold weather and guards it from insects. Allah has blessed the pea with a special Hijab, because without it, the seeds would scatter, dry up and die. The orange keeps itself within its shiny orange Hijab to protect its delicious fruit. Otherwise it-looses its taste too. So are the banana, the coconut and the pomegranate. Each one has an elegant and unique Hijab, which protects it from disease and destruction. The jewel of the sea, the pearl, has been given a very tough and rugged Hijab - oyster shell. It protects it from sea animals and keeps it sparkling and shining inside. However, the most beloved of Allah in all His creation is the Muslim girl who wears the Hijab. She knows it is a gift from Allah. It protects her from harm, injury and mischief. She wears it knowing it gives her dignity, beauty and respect. So precious she can be that she hides herself beneath her Hijab. Do you wear a Hijab? Give it a try today :-* |
