HIJAB, UNDERSTAND DON’T UNDERESTIMATE!!!

Posted by HIBA on 4:38 PM in articles,

Well I have been living my entire teenage life wearing a piece of cloth on my head which is called as the "hijab".
I was taught from young what women have to cover and what men should cover and yes the piece of cloth is important. But the thing is that the societies in general see this as a source of weapon to kill people or to oppress women and to restrict their freedom. The media has depicted woman who cover as old fashioned people or those who don’t have a value or class in this modern world.

The actual reason why Muslim woman cover them self up and tie a cloth around them self is not because they are afraid of the public or not because of fear of the opposite gender, it is just because they are listening to their lord and after all he knows the best.
Many Muslim sisters are afraid to follow the hijab fearing that the public might not accept them. Yes, it is tough to get into a famous company with that cloth on your head, it is going to be tough to sit among a group of friend wearing full sleeves, it is going to be tough to explain why you cover up like this.
But always we should remember that at the end it doesn’t matter if the public was happy but if Allah the almighty was happy.
When talking about men, lowering their gaze in front of a mahram is their hijab. Honestly speaking the hijab for men is really tough to follow because this is not a piece of cloth they have to wear but to put their eyes when they see a lady!!!
Many men have succeeded in fulfilling this but majority cannot. They might not even realize the fact that they are admiring a woman, because their hormones are jumping around!! When the hijab of a woman is something the world keeps on talking about the hijab of men are not. One thing we should realize is that these two hijab if properly followed can only lead to a better place. The female gender cannot expose them self and ask the men not to look at, that would be like keeping a bone in front if a dog and asking it not to touch!! Neither can the men ask the woman to cover her face or sit back at home so that they don’t have to the female specie anywhere out.

Another misunderstanding is about woman covering their face. Islam has not made it important for a woman to cover her face, it is totally her wish and liking and therefore if woman goes out in proper hijab without covering her face there is nothing she is going to be punished for. Moreover men have no right to force women to cover their face just because they have their hormone jumping all around. So to my brothers I want to tell that please just because you can’t lower your gaze don’t force women to cover up their face, and to all my Muslim sisters and brothers I want to tell one thing, the whole of mankind may reject you, but their creator has already accepted you!!!!

What more…..

Posted by HIBA on 9:55 PM in poems,

Breathtaking things happen in everyone’s time.

But luckiest like me get the preeminent!!

Gazing at the mirror I memorize all the fun,

When had when I was five, ten and fifteen.

Home is born as you both are there.

And love is constitutional because of your inhabitance.

My prayer for you both is to have a long life,

A life that hurts none and never hurts you.

Gifts in life are really unexpected,

But what did I do to have such miracle.

You both have educated me things I feel illogical,

And have helped me in all my collapses.

My love is out flowing, now and forever.

All thanks to you, I am born here,

What more can I anticipate….oh my parents!!

FRIENDS INFLUENCE US??? OH YES....THEY DO!!! :)

Posted by HIBA on 2:26 AM in articles,

Hello!! Long since we met??? Well am back on track!!!

Thanks to a buddy of mine I thought of writing something for my blog, so here is a big thank you to RIA RAICHAUDHURI!!!

Well last week I was lying on my bed and thinking about what changed me from who I was to who I am now and I realized my friends are the ones and also realized that the teenagers and the youth get influenced mainly by their friends. So if I take my example I was not a very good girl, well I am now! The one who showed me the light and helped me to the right path is HAJER. Now she will never ever agree to this, she will tell me that it isn't her and stuff, but she is the reason I am who I am now!!!

When I talk about influencing it could be bad as well as good. We all have friends who we are close to or maybe just a friend or for namesake a friend!! We really should be careful with whom we become close to because unintentionally without our knowledge they will influence us in many ways. Some girls and guys try to eat and sit the way other friends in their group do and others who cut of their limits might even get into drugs and alcohol. It is natural for a boy or a girl to get influenced by his or her friends, because they are the ones they roam around and have most of their teen life and college life spent around with. So we should be a bit selective when it comes to friends. Now once we are into a bad group of friends we might not realize the fact that we are into no good and we feel what we are doing now is right, but later when we are to live a life and start earning and stuff we will surely have the hangover of this influence and can never have a good life. Now when I mean to say we move away from the bad group doesn't mean we hate them, we should at the same time try to make them see the difference between what is good and what is bad.

I am one of the luckiest girls who have a good bunch of friends around me!! I have friends like Hajer who would show me what is write and help me learn more about my religion and Rasha to make me laugh always and even though she is so immature knows what her limit is and so told me too that have fun, but in your limits and last but not the least My POOH FAMILY who taught me some beautiful lessons like:

1. BE POSITIVE

2. BE YOURSELF

3. BE HAPPY

4. SMILE ALWAYS

5. DON’T BOTHER IF PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF YOU

6. LOVE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

7. HAVE FAITH IN GOD

8. WHAT SO EVER HAPPENS BE STRONG

9. ETC….ETC…ETC….

An important lesson out of all which two of my friend from my “pooh family” taught was:

1. Don’t get offended if people are going to correct you, take it as an advice (THANK YOU RIA AND SHIFA)

We may not notice, but we always tend to please them rather than being ourselves, which is literally bad for us in our future. I always believe that having one friend whom will help us in finding the right path is better than to have hundreds of friends who happened to choose you as their friend only if u fit in their checklist. So before you regret just sit back and think about what type of friends are you with!!

So that is for now!!!

Salaam, Adios…………… :)

BEAUTY OF ME!!

Posted by HIBA on 5:39 PM in poems,

Beauty of my eyes is not the long lashes,

But the good I see.

Beauty of my nose is not the perfect length,

But the gorgeous scent I smell.

Beauty of my lip is not the cute color,

But the words I speak.

Beauty of my body is not what I highlight,

But the way I cover it like pearls under sea.

Beauty of my heart is not only the pure blood,

But a heart that touches and feels.

Beauty of me is not my lifestyle,

But the positive in me!!

IS INNOCENCE A FELONY??

Posted by HIBA on 5:11 PM in poems,

(THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO INNOCENT KIDS LIKE BALACHANDRAN WHO ARE SHOT TO DEATH VICIOUSLY!!)

Am I to live here?

With so much of fear!!!

Is being innocent...

A felony in today’s world!!

Or has killing been embossed as,

A hobby for many!!

Or is it a kind of drug,

That has to be injected all the time!!

Why didn't they look into my eyes

That only resembled love and harmony.

How can man be so awful…?

Guns could take a lot of life,

But I ask “Can it create one?”

Don’t these murderers’s have kids??

Well to those kids I want to tell,

“Stay far from them,

Because you will be asked to pay,

Even if you’re a killer or not!!!”

And as I lay there waiting for

My approaching death!!!

I close my eyes and respire,

My last breath..!!

I WALK...THE FIRE SPILLED ROAD!!

Posted by HIBA on 7:46 PM in poems,

(THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO THOSE ORPHANS OF PALESTINE AND IRAQ. GOD IS WITH YOU, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! WE PRAY TO SEE YOU RISE!!)

I walk through the fire spilled road,

That was my homeland, burning now!!

I weep with no one to hear me,

Only god knows what I have lost.

I don’t know where to go,

I don’t know what to do.

As I reach my so called house,

Now packed down with a grenade!!

I reach my doorstep to see

My family, lying breathless.

How malicious could man turn out to be??

The question actually is “WHY”!!

I miss those days when peace,

Filled the world from all roads.

I walk through the fire spilled road,

That was my homeland burning now!!

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!!!

Posted by HIBA on 11:56 PM in poems,

Even after I hear she was raped

I stand there with my mouth shut.

It is not because I wanted to

I was thinking why her…?

Why did men turn out to be animals?

Why did they roughly leave her to death?

Where did the love and care go?

Did they forget the pledge they repeated?

Every day since they went to kindergarten….

INDIA IS MY COUNTRY…..

AND ALL INDIANS ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!

Why are innocent girls suffering?

From such rape attacks

Why are girls to die?

Because of some beast!!

And then I think

What could be the solution?

Well that is when I recollected a proverb….

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE!!!

We girls should always be careful

We don’t know who our attacker is

In this era it could be,

Brother, guy-friend or even father!!

It is not because they want to

It is just because the environment has leaded them to!!!

Today we girls follow the western…

Or to be specific the Hollywood trend!!

We think miniskirts are an attraction.

Yes it is…but leads to complete destruction

We think roaming around at night is cool….

But yes it also leads to complete foolishness

I am not telling we are not allowed to

But sometimes we should be careful about ourselves

Only because we carry a pepper spray

It is not going to help us everywhere

And if we trust all out there

We will be the next one to be attacked

So it is always better to be safe…

And as the saying goes…

Prevention is better….always better than cure…
