A Muslim woman’s diary. 🧕🏾
<p>She wore her jilbab a long flowing garment and her niqab, a face covering that leaves only the eyes visible. She stepped out of her home and headed to a café.</p><p>Oh, the gaze was on her.</p><p>She felt it but she wasn’t bothered.</p><p>She was used to it.</p><p>At the café, a woman approached her.</p><p>At least she wasn’t rude—just curious.</p><p>“Why do you cover your face?” she asked.</p><p>She smiled gently and replied,</p><p>“I do it for my religion. We Muslim women are commanded to wear the hijab, but the face covering the niqab isn’t obligatory. I chose to wear it.”</p><p>The woman tilted her head. “Do you even get to live life?”</p><p>That question was… odd. But she answered kindly:</p><p>“Yes, I do. I attended university. I now work as a nurse at a hospital. I own my own brand. I’m also a content creator on social media. I recently got married and yes, he doesn’t beat me. He treats me with love and kindness.”</p><p>“Were you forced to wear it?”</p><p>She smiled.</p><p>“No. In fact, I never used to wear the hijab let alone the niqab. I recently got closer to my religion, and I fell in love with it. I chose to wear it. It’s comfortable. And to be honest, I love being unknown. I hate the gaze of men when I walk. Funny enough, they respect me more now.”</p><p>“…Are you bald?” the woman asked.</p><p>She laughed softly.</p><p>“No ma’am, I have hair. And I take really good care of it. I just braided it last week.”</p><p>“How do you feel wearing it?”</p><p>She answered with a full heart:</p><p>“I feel good. People don’t see me for my beauty alone they see me for my ideas, my voice, my character, my growth. I love representing my religion. I love how it makes me feel closer to my Lord. I love the respect I get from men. I love everything about it. Alhamdulillah.”</p><p>This—this isn’t oppression.</p><p>So don’t hate me for covering my face.</p><p>I’m just a woman like you.</p><p>A woman who enjoys solo café dates, who works out to stay healthy, who runs her business and connects with other women on their self-growth journey.</p><p>Stop judging me based on how I look.</p><p>I hold values, dreams, and strength you may not see.</p><p>But they’re there.</p><p>And I wear them proudly.</p><p><br></p>
