If deep in our hearts we truly believe in Allah and Islam, our actions will follow suit. It is only when thoughts of worldly pleasures comes in, our actions are sometimes not met.

I subscribed to it to read it regularly.<br /><br />Now about Hijab, I am in no position to comment on the subject but I know one thing for sure, whether you wear the hijab or not men will still look and harass and sometimes it's even worse.<br />Do not use this as a main reason to wear it.

Plus hijab, as I understand it, is not really about guarding oneself from men, but a show of faith in God and modesty. <br /><br /> In Muslim countries where hijab is mandated, Muslim men sexually harass women on the streets to the point that it is becoming a problem for female tourists and Muslim women in general, hijabi and non.

If the hijab doesn't make a woman feel comfortable and she is wearing it out of compulsion then it totally defeats the true meaning of hijab. I know some Muslim girls who wear the hijab out of cultural reasons as a result their actions and words don't reflect Islam.<br /><br />Zahra: You're right, Shahirah Elaizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332951368178817982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24333169.post-1758704796972189952009-12-17T14:16:32.178-05:002009-12-17T14:16:32.178-05:00I thought the same as you.

It is something they are personally comfortable with, and this can be seen through their sense of style as shown in the photo in this post.
