The Veil (Poem)

[ummtaalib]

THE VEIL

 

I offend thee, yes i offend thee, i just dont know why,

 

You stop and stare and glare at my clothing,

 

Ninja i hear and even dark vader,

 

But who cares who cares no not I !!

 

For respect of my body is a faithful advantage,

 

Who cares about wordly advances ?

 

you can keep your skimpy clothing,

 

And you can keep your fake looks,

 

I would rather be a ninja or even dark vader,

 

I am content as I am,

 

I pray my Lord remain pleased,

 

I don't care for your ignorant perceptions,

 

Or your fashion conscious conceptions,

 

Who cares, who cares, no not I !!

 

Wearing the veil and covering my face has positively changed my life. It has brought me closer to Allah s.w.t it has simplified my life, protects me from lewd glances and evil advances of men. Covering up makes me feel independent, more confident, protected and more in my feminine natural state. It is a shaytanic myth by those who do not have the understanding behind covering, that Allah s.w.t. revealed His commandments for prophetic times only, the truth is all of Allah s.w.t. laws and commandments were revealed with farsightedness for all times in existence. So to all those voices rushing to speak on my behalf, wanting to free and liberate me from my self-respect so I may follow the shameless immodest dress and lifestyle of the lost immoral society of today. Please allow me the freedom to cover as i please and allow me the freedom to protect myself. Whilst you have the freedom of speech also allow my voice to be heard.
