My Hidden Secrets

poeticislam:

“My dear sister in Islam, I know that it is quite difficult for you to go out wearing Hijab in a society that mocks and torments you.   I know that you, indeed, feel strange and out of place.  However, if you knew the status of those who are mocked by the Kufar as well as the status of the strangers, you will continue to wear your Hijab (i.e. to cover your entire body with a Khimar as commanded (24:31), as well as with a Jilbab (33:59), with the exception of the hands and face;  however, knowing the recommendation to cover those parts (as well) with dignity. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala says in His Book:

“Verily! (During the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.  And whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery);  And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;  and when they saw them, they said: ‘Verily! These have indeed gone astray!’  But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).  But on this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers.  On (high) thrones, looking (at all things).  Are not the disbelievers paid (fully) for what they used to do?” [Surah Al-Mutaffifin 83:29-36]

Allah’s subhanahu wa ta’ala words should serve as a support for you my dear sisters.”
