    You are a blessed person MashAllah! Directed to you through ET blog! You spoke my heart. Remember me and all the Muslim sisters in your dua, who have the righteousness in their hearts but still not courageously follow it. May Allah forgive us.Ameen

      This is a personal blog, therefore I have written a blog expressing my views towards my own hijab; which was to show that I do not take hijab as a form of oppression. Nowhere in this blog have I claimed that all the hijabis are obligated to feel this way and nor have I labeled the non-hijabis as the ones who cannot or do not have the right to bear such feelings. Personal choice and freedom is what I was aiming towards, which is the same for everyone. Thank you for reading my blog :)
