I hope this reaches in the best of health/imaan
I want to submit this to my school magazine, I have inspired to let others know about my Hijab because lots of people misunderstand it. I chose to express my thoughts/feelings in a poem. I have lots of time to fix some flows, or wrong words I might have in there. So, brothers and sisters I ask you to give me some feedbacks, critism, or whatever you think you can do for me. The deadline is may 8th, so I would appreciate all that you have to say and your suggestions.
Here is the poem
You see me, but do you REALLY know me???
You've seen me in the hallways
And you might have felt sorry for me
Simply because of the way I am dressed
.
With your eyes, you quickly judged
Automatically thinking I am oppressed
Or maybe *culturally* proud
But nay! I am neither
this nor that
I am a girl who has taken God’s command
,
Submitted to HIS word
Imitating none but my heroine Mary
, mother of Jesus the blessed
.
With submission, like Mary
, I am covered
Thereby seeking the mercy of my Lord
And going against
laws by man adorned
Eyes judging me on the size of my behind
Not paying attention to my brilliant mind
So, I said *NO* to
being a boy’s toy when I chose to be HIJABED
Thus setting myself free from
being objected
to and judged
For this beauty I have is uniquely mine and NOT to be by any stranger
admired
So, next time you see me
,
Do not feel sorry for me
Because Hijab is my choice
So, relax because NOW you know
I am NOT oppressed and that I
my body do cover
ONLY to please my
Creator for ever.
Allah hafiz NOW and ALWAYS
