BAM! by Roshan88 featuring Christian Louboutin shoes

I think its pretty awesome... how about you? My birfffffday is coming up and I'm quite enthused about it. I'm turning 21 and I wanna get dressed up and whatnot. *sigh* wonder where a sister can go and where some elegant clothing that might involve food? lol

HIJAB...

So, this morning as I was driving home from taking my mom to work around 7:00 am-ish, I started thinking about hijab (again). I was thinking about why some people decide not to wear it and why I haven't done it yet. I was watching something on the internet, I forget what it is, and this sister said that she decided to wear hijab and she decided to take it off. She said that since hijab is mention very few times in the Holy Qur'an, than her whole faith in God shouldn't revolved around the concept of hijab.

'Hmmm', I thought. I mean it is a good point, but then I thought, "Since it's only probably 2 or 3 times in the Qur'an about maintaining our modesty, maybe the point was that its really not that difficult to wear hijab. Maybe the point was that since its only mentioned a few times, then that makes the decision to observe hijab a few times easier."

I think about wearing hijab [and niqab] daily, but I tend to come up with excuses that would deter me from observing my Lord's command.

So, considering the simplicity of this command, why do we make it harder on ourselves for deciding to please our God? I'm sure we have harder things to observe within Islam than remaining modest.

Just something I was thinking about.

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59)

“O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition.” (Quran 7:26)

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

Grey AGAIN i know you like it

Yes, I did use grey again. I could care less if grey isn't your color. I bet a liter of Pepsi that all y'all look gorgeous in grey. So, embrace and get over it! :D

I loooove grey with random colors. It makes more sense than ice cream and cake... wait, ... hmmm that's too far fetched. Ice cream and cake were created to go together. **drool**

Anywhoooo,

tell me what you think... oh and that random eye liner - I bought THE MOST PERFECT EYELINER THIS WEEK, SO I INCLUDED IT. Its Sephora's brand of Kohl eyeliner. perfection.

Come on now ladies

Now, I was talking to my best friend last week, while indulging in some tasty cake, about the BET awards. She happened to mention that Mary Mary was there. I'm like, "oh that's cool. Back in the day, I was a big Mary Mary fan" Then she added that one of them had on "tight leather pantses" <<<>>> So, I'm thinking, those are some pretty thick sistas to be running around singing Gospel with "tight leather pantses". Then I really thought about it - if these sistas are singing Gospel, what happened to the modesty. Just because you at the BET awards doesn't mean all you thighs and whatnot gotta be known too. As far as I'm concerned, modesty isn't just for Muslim [women/men], its for all people.

Especially the thick one... Lawd the wrong man get a gander at those thighs, ALLAH ONLY KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN!

I don't think you understand the importance yet....

Soooooo, you see those tight leather PANTSES! I see em! I see those thighs too! I told my friend that I didn't understand why people made it seem difficult to dress at least DECENT [i.e. no leather pantses and thigh meat]. It really isn't! This can go for my Muslim sisters as well [a few of us are shapely too!], so I found some gawjuss dresses!

Seriously its not that hard by Roshan88 featuring Versace

As you can see, all of them are floor length and if you're a hijabi [or anemic like moi] get down with some shawls, cardigans, SOMETHING, but there isn't an excuse for sad fashion decisions or compromising your modesty to look fashionable.

*sighs* I'm down now. I feel much better.

I'm bout to eat some cookies.

Love,
