A Niqabi's Message To The World

Money can buy many, many material things for us, but it can never buy dignity, respect or honour. My Niqab is my modesty, and in it lies my dignity because in wearing my Niqab, I’m dignifying myself and my body. No man will ever be seduced by a woman who refuses to expose her beauty and no man will ever try and exploit a woman who is covered up.

In my Niqab lies my respect because the best kind of respect comes when you respect your own self and it is only when you respect yourself, that people will start respecting you.

In my Niqab lies my honour as a Muslimah, and it shows that I don’t bow down to the demands of this world nor to fashion: I only bow down to my Lord and only strive to attain His Pleasure, not the pleasure of this short-lived world.

The best reply to those who say Jazaak Allahu khairan

The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Whoever has a favor done for him and says Jazaak Allaahu khayran (Allaah reward you with good) has done his utmost to thank him."

[Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2035 classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi]

The Sunnah is to say جزاك الله خيرا (Jazak Allaahu khair). But we find people saying "Jazak Allaah" only or Jazaks or JZK – which doesn't mean anything. So, stick to the Sunnah and avoid falling short of it.
