Am I worthy to wear my hijab
I ask myself this question each passing day
It’s a state of reflection so In shaa Allah I don’t loose my way
I ask myself this question each passing day
It’s a state of reflection so In shaa Allah I don’t loose my way
It’s not just a cloth to hide my head
It’s not just a cloth to say in hopes to be said
It’s not just a cloth to say in hopes to be said
It’s not just a cloth to make me seem righteous and true
It’s not just a cloth I place for something to do
It’s not just a cloth I place for something to do
It not just a cloth because I was told it was right
It’s not just a cloth so I can hide like the night
It’s not just a cloth so I can hide like the night
It’s not just a cloth to keep dirt from my hair
It’s not just a cloth so people can stare
It’s not just a cloth so people can stare
Do not other’s have a struggle; a fight of their own
As they look in the mirror, their body only on loan
As they look in the mirror, their body only on loan
What do I do with this shell to display?
Do I give it to Allah, or to society’s way?
Do I give it to Allah, or to society’s way?
This is what is called jihad
We try to explain
We try to explain
It’s inner war within us
so we don’t decay
so we don’t decay
So I ask as I look in the mirror,
come what may
come what may
Am I worthy to wear my Hijab
And live the true Islamic way?
And live the true Islamic way?
