When I wear the hijaab

I please Allah.
I am obeying the commands of my Lord
when I wear the Hijaab and I can expect great rewards in return.

It is Allah's protection of my natural beauty.
I am too precious to be "on display"
for each man to see.

It is Allah's preservation of my chastity.

Allah purifies my heart and mind
through the Hijaab.

Allah beautifies my inner and outer countenance with hijaab.
Outwardly, my Hijaab reflects innocence, purity, modesty, shyness, serenity, contentment and obedience to my Lord.
Inwardly I cultivate the same.

Allah defines my femininity
through the Hijaab.
I am a woman who respects her womanhood.
Allah wants me to be respected by others,
and for me to respect myself.

Allah raises my dignity through the Hijaab.
When a strange man looks at me,
he respects me because
he sees that I respect myself.

Allah protects my honour 100%
through my Hijaab.
Men do not gaze at me in a
sensual way,
they do not approach me in a
sensual way,
and neither do they speak to me in a sensual way. Rather, a man holds me in high esteem
and that is just by one glance at me!

Allah gives me nobility
through the Hijaab.
 I am  noble not degraded because
I'm covered not naked.

Allah defines my role as a Muslim woman through the Hijaab. I am someone with important duties.

Allah expresses my independence
through the Hijaab.
I am stating clearly that
I am an obedient servant of the Greatest Master.
I will obey no one else and
follow no other way.
I am not a slave to any man,
nor a slave to any nation.
I'm free and independent from
all man-made systems.

My Hijaab gives me
unique confidence.

Allah wants others to treat me
- a Muslim woman- with kindness.
And the Hijaab brings about the best treatment of men towards me.
