Muslim Rants

Hijabis and social media.

Now don't get me wrong, I have every social media site you can think of, but that doesnt mean the islam laws dont count when I'm online. I used to go to school with 3 girls, we had the same class and I added them on both facebook and instagram. These three girls were like "the populars" as cliche as that may sound, all the boys wanted them and all the girls wanted to be them. In all honesty I can't blame them, they are pretty and smart, they may have weaknesses in some classes but dont we all? My point is, they are hijabis, which meant they had to cover their 1- body 2- hair and they also shouldn't be attracting men or, since we are in school, boys to them. Now I'm not saying since their beautiful (Ma Sha Allah) that its their fault that they attract the boys, and i'm not gonna say you have to have no fashion sense to be a hijabi, but its in the way you act.

I get it we are teenagers we want to have fun, we want to enjoy our youth and just go crazy. But that doesnt mean we have to break the laws of islam. So what they would do is, in school they had hijabs (but half their hair would show intentionally and they would always dye or straighten what is shown and they told me they do that intentionally so i'm not just assuming) and when they are on instagram they post a "half a selfie" where their full hair is shown. I have nothing against posting your pictures online but if you a hijabi daily but not in social media than that is just wrong.

Just take off the hijab and enjoy doing what ever your doing and when your ready put it on. To me I find this quiet offensive actually. Yeah it may be dumb but why put on something you arent comitted to. To me its like hitting on other men when your married. If you cant be committed to something dont wear it! I know some parents force you to wear the hijab, but if your willing to break the rule and how half you hair in school and all your hair on instagram what are you afrraid of? What you're telling me or showing me is that you're afraid of your parents that can just simply punish you by taking away your phone or "grounding you" more than you are afraid of allah that can well, i dont know burn you in hell for eternaty. I know I'm making islam scary, and I can't say a person is going to hell for not wearing the hijab, im just trying to say that you should fear allah more than you fear your parents.

And this isnt only on hair. Some girls will post themselves wearing a dress (a short one) and not show their face, while their hair and body are exposed. -.- honey I think you misunderstood, its your hair and body that isnt supposed to be shown not your face. I know you may love how that dress looks on you but save that picture between you and your girl friends not on the internet where it can be sent from one place to another.

Also posting one half of your face then 2 weeks later you post the other half, your not hiding your identiyy your just giving us a jigsaw puzzle through instagram, which is actually fun to put together. I'm not joking they would post an eye, then their lips, then their other eye, their nose, the back of their head... all you have to do is put it together.

Go ahead and post pictures of your self just look like how you would look when you go out. If you're a hijabi, post a picture as one. And FYI you can still be fashionable and conservative. Just show guys that you are worth it through the way you act and through your modesty and manners rather than how loud you laugh near them or you twirl your hijab tassel (do people do that 0.o) or what color your side bang is. If youre beautiful, youre beautiful, you dont have to prove anything to anyone by what you wear or what color your hair is. Show them that you can be beautiful inside and out. Show them you have self respect and that you have boundries. You don't want to seam easy.
