Okay so my biggest question ive never seemed to find an answer is why most women wear hijabs. All I've been able to find is that its part of the religion - but never exactly why. Is it something about covering yourself? Or keeping some kind of energy in (kind of like helpol)?
Okay so
The hijab, if strictly speaking on the garment itself, is just as it seems - a ruling in the Qur’an for us to cover ourselves when with non-mehram. (i.e people outside your immediate family + husband. All girls are fine, they can see, but men cannot. The lesbians win again)
But yes, it is about covering oneself. My mother always described it to me as a shell covering a pearl, keeping it safe, protected and dignified. It’s something I love about Islam, how it honors its women, how the body is approached not as a shameful thing needing to be hidden, but a beautiful thing needed to be protected, shared with another only in the right way, only when you choose and nothing else.
Thanks for coming to my tedtalk lol. Anyway here, I’m reading a book and made a custom bookmark. Observe
Holy shit is that where the crawdads sing
