Kinda tired of seeing nothing but light skinned and stick thin, conventionally attractive Hijabis everywhere in Muslim modest clothing companies, fashion shows and popular beauty/fashion bloggers and youtubers. I can clearly see how much we prefer to comment and like and subscribe these women over our darker skinned, fat Hijabis with different features, and we all know why. We say we want to show the world that beauty comes in all forms, including modesty, but we’re literal hypocrites if we believe we’re making a revolutionary change from Western beauty standards and creating our own space of positivity. When it still excludes the same people who couldn’t find there place before, what change have we actually made in the world of fashion and beauty?

قدَّرَ اللهُ وما شاءَ فعلْ

Qadr Allahu wa masha fa'al.

Allah has decreed it and what He willed has happened.

[asma2al7usna]

قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا

“Say: ‘Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allâh has ordained for us.’”

—(Qur’an, 9:51).

“Do not look at a man’s prayers nor his fasts, rather, measure him by how well he deals with others, the compassion he shows his fellow man, his wisdom and his integrity.”

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab

[asma2al7usna]

A woman named Khansa Bint Khidam went over to the house of the Prophet (pbuh), and he wasn’t there. She found his wife Aisha, who told her to hang out a bit till he came back.

When he got there, Khansa told the Prophet (pbuh) that her father had forced her to marry someone she didn’t want. So the Prophet (pbuh) told her that fathers had no right to marry their daughters off to people they didn’t want. Then he said to her, “Your marriage is invalid; go marry whoever you want.”

So not only did the Prophet (pbuh) allow women to come to his house and speak with him directly, he also affirmed their rights constantly, even if that meant going against their families. And that is how Islam treats women.

Some women love their hijab and it’s not your job to tell them otherwise. So hijab-wearing women out there, wear it proudly. Natasha’s on it:
