You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I’m dressed,
You know me not for what’s inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride
My body’s not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mold,
I’m an individual, I’m no mans slave,
It’s Allahs pleasure that I only crave
I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,
“O ye women, wrap close your cloak,
So you won’t be bothered by ignorant folk”
Man doesn’t tell me to dress this way,
It’s a Law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I’m truly NOT,
For liberation is what I’ve got
It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow
I can climb moutains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees
For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY
When He sent Islam,
To You and Me…

What Jlo is wearing is not a hijab or islamic in any way. Arabs/Muslims are not the only people who cover their heads. Americans have been covering their hair for hundreds of years this is an African style head scarf from it came other head covers like durag and jaimaican hat

That is a valid point. It just shows how different cultures in the world are so much alike.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I wanted to write this article not so much to boast about the popularity of the Muslim hijab but more for rupturing the view held by many that hijab is something you cannot look modern or fashionable in. That it is the garb of the under privileged or suppressed.

What struck me about Jlo’s pic was how a glamorous star can be fully covered and still look great. I guess you don’t have to show skin to assert your brilliance. That is what Hijab is all about.

Salaam all. Beautiful is the poem, amazing and sublime is the concept of hijaab. I want to help my partner find a new way of wearing her hijaab, this site helped slightly. Thanks. Inshallah your strengths and struggles will be rewarded sisters.

I am new to blogging, so I feel like I am in the “just taking notes” phase. But when I do find a blog topic I like, I do comment because I genuinely like what has been said or the information was helpful to me. I am officially linked to your blog now, so I will be checking in often! Thanks for all the great advice.
