View Full Version : The Niqab

The Niqab
She walks down the street
Fully covered
From head to toe
In the sun and the sleet
Not bothered by rude comments
From all and sundry
Her face is covered from view
And only revealed for the few
Her husband and other mehram
And not the rest of male society
She is blessed by her lord
With good looks and health
She praises him
And obeys his every command
Including the one to cover
She is neither western nor eastern
Rebellious or trying to fit in
She refuses to go with the flow
And treads a path that many choose not to follow
Some are completely westernised
Discarded their identity a long time ago
And now in sin they wallow
With the rest of society
Others go half way
Hijab with tight clothing
A bit of Islam and some of kufr
They look silly
But they think they are trendy
And attractive
Others wear the proper jilbab
And refuse to compromise their identity
Neither following fashion nor the norms of society
But they still get attention that’s unwarranted
But some sisters prefer to wear the niqab
And hide completely
Into anonymity
Whilst interacting in society
See it as a guard against evil
And unwanted attention
From those who don’t lower their gaze
And eye up every woman regardless

Masha'Allaah, very nice. I liked this part the most:
She is neither western nor eastern
Rebellious or trying to fit in
She refuses to go with the flow
And treads a path that many choose not to follow
