Bila kita berhijab, kita da pakai uniform Islam. We are the ambassadors of Islam especially to the group of people we are hanging out every day. Like it or not, people will judge us based on our character and dressing. Aku pernah “tervulgar” at work one day and a colleague jaw dropped and immediately tanya aku, “Muslims can swear ar? My friends swear la.. but u in that scarf and swear.. like not appropriate sia..”
Allah..
Like it or not, orang akan have the impression that ladies yang berhijab have better character than ladies yang belum berhijab and ladies yang berniqab have better character than ladies yang berhijab. Aku pernah dapat a PM where a lady not in hijab asking me about a particular person in niqab, “Sis kenapa apa dia cakap semua macam lucah. dia kan pakai niqab. Tak paiseh ke?”
Islam is simple. Kalau ibadah kita on the right track, in shaa Allah, with increased imaan and taqwa, hayaa’ akan menyusul dalam jiwa kita. Kita yang beragama Islam, tau that, tak semestinya someone yang berniqab, they have better akhlak and adab dari a lady yang tak berhijab. Everyone ada their own personal struggle.
Ada da settle hijrah luaran, but dalaman masih work in progress. Ada yang da adjust dalaman, luaran masih no progress. Recently, aku had a discussion with a friend about niqab and how some niqabis jadian ruined the image of those yang berniqab lillahi ta’ala.
Mulut tak jaga.
Adab tak jaga.
Suka sindir2 orang.
Suka cakap pasal orang.
Suka rasa that pandangan dia better dari everyone else.
Suka cakap berbaur lucah.
Jokes double meaning.
Suka mengata orang
Tak boleh ditegur..
Tegur je naik hantu..
Mana akhlak kita?
Mana hijab sebenar kita?
Tak cukup tutup satu badan but kita tak jaga akhlak in public.
Of course, every single one of us is a work in progress. Wallahi I dont deny that. And as muslims, kita kena berlapang dada bila anyone tegur kita demi kebaikan. We should never look down upon anyone, no matter what stage we are in our hijrah journey, continue to keep on reminding each other that we are in this together. Niqabis should mix around with rugged ladies and break that mentality barrier of “Im better than you”.
Rugged ladies should be open minded that walaupon kita mungkin kena attack dengan one, two or 3 niqabis, there are still ladies who don the niqab for the sake of Allah SWT. They are nice and humble as the rest of the struggling muslimah. Kadang2 kita rasa diri kita da perfect dalam segala aspect, pakaian.. ibadah, but imagine hari mati kita, first day masuk kubur and kita dapat tau that satu pon amalan kita, Allah tak terima. Every single deed was rejected. Takut kan..?
Why? Sebab mulut kata lillahi ta’ala. Hati penuh perasaan sombong. Nauzubillah min dzalik. May Allah SWT protect kita semua dari perasaan sombong.
