Here are some functions of the hijab, apart from it’s major role as to obey Allah:
1. Rather than wasting your money with hair vitamins, UV protector, et cetera, just put on a hijab to shield from harmful UV rays.
2. When I was 17 years old, I joined an expedition to hike Mount Kinabalu. The ustazah told us to get a snow cap. One boy said “If we buy a lot, we might get lower price. So boys, give names to me, and girls give names to her.” The ustazah said “No need. For the girls, the tudung is lebih dari cukup dah.”
3. Sometimes it takes about 20 minutes to set up your hair. Even hours to get a new look at the saloon. But just 5 minutes to wear a hijab and you’ll be gorgeous, without having to show our skin.
4. If the wind is blowing hard, and your hair ends up like the Lion King, it won’t happen if you put on a hijab.
5. On burning hot like hell sunny days, you don’t have to worry people seeing your sweaty back or wet armpits if you wear hijab.
6. Hijab can help you save on make-ups.
7. You don’t have to worry about your shape if you wear hijab with loose clothes. You will still look as pretty even without showing your body off to public.
8. Being secured in hijab raises your confidence. Try it.
9. There is no better way to look demure and sweet, than to have only your face revealed.
10. Less is more.
11. Hijab is a safe way to dye your hair. It can be multicolor, with or without patterns, and vibrant. It even allow you to change appearance 10 times a day.
12. A rock chick playing guitar is cool. A hijabed rock is even cooler. Yuna is one example.
13. Hijab silently says “DON’T TOUCH ME!” so you are safer than those who are not hijabed.
14. Hijab, when equipped with needles and pins, is an excellent mode of weapon for girls to self defense. Just prick the guy who tries to touch you.
15. Bad guys don’t mess with hijabed girls or ladies. Even if, they will feel shy for it.
16. A not-hijabed-before girls will receive compliments and prayers when they start to wear hijab. People will be happy for them and God is pleased.
17. A hijabed-before girls will receive smiles and silent curses when they started to remove hijab. People will be unhappy because of them and God is not pleased.
The simple hijab works best. If the hijab is too tremendous and stylized, the desired outcome may be dysfunctional. So don’t be excessive with the hijab. Wear as the syara’ requires, not as the trend or fashion requires.
So please mind to use the hijab. It is special gift from God to the Muslimahs. Also, it’s a special order. None of any kind of creature in this universe is created so beautifully that they have to hide their beauty with hijabs. Only women. So take it as a mission. Fulfill it, and be glorious.
If you ever see a muslimah with hijab is doing bad stuff, remember that the one to blame is the woman, not the hijab.
