Apparently, some people seem to accuse some hijabis of wearing the hijab for the sake of 'fashion'. I'm sorry you make me feel like punching your face. Since when is hijab a 'fashion'?! Just because you see a hijabi being fashionable, that doesn't mean that hijab is fashion! And if hijab was really a fashion, you would see non-muslims putting on hijabs for fashion as well. (I hear people say this everywhere like seriously, even on my twitter timeline!)
And then some also say that it is haraam to dress like kafirs (as in wear the clothes that kafirs wear). I'm sorry so I can't buy clothes from Topshop and H&M that are loose and cover my aurat and put on hijab with them? Because kafirs also wear those clothes? Am I supposed to buy black abayas from the Saudi and wear them 24/7? What if the kafirs also start wearing black abayas for some reason? What am I supposed to wear then? And if so, muslim men are also not allowed to wear T-shirts and jeans?
It's just really sad that it seems like the people who like to criticize hijabis and pinpoint their flaws are mostly muslims themselves.
Surah Al-Noor, Verse 31
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed.
