Should I wear the niqab?

[Insaanah]

You protect yourself, you hide your beauty and you want to choose who is allowed to see you and not.

What a beautiful expression of choice, empowerment and freedom for Muslim women MaashaAllah!

I have heard the pearl and hidden jewel analogy for niqaab, and whilst it is true that Muslim women ARE jewels :statisfie, jewels are normally hidden by their owner, so I find that that particular analogy doesn't really work with non-Muslims that I discuss it with, as it can imply ownership of women.

But for me, it's one step further on the way of appreciating yourself so much that you want to cover your face too. And if you feel it's a message from Allah (swt) that you should cover your face too, then you do it for the sake of Allah (swt).

MaashaAllah, these are the most beautiful words I have heard on niqaab, you have inspired me so much, may Allah reward you abundantly. Ameen.

Wearing a light material over the eyes works wonders also from all those stares:embarrass
