A Thousand Reasons Why I'm Stay Strong With This Hijab

I’m a hijabers since I was 9 years old. Yes,I know when I was a little kid I sometimes opened my jilbab when my mother don’t know. But since I was in Pesantren around 2007 until 2008 I was decided to wear this hijab and keep my aurat forever

Well, being hijabers sometimes isn’t as easy as we think. When you enter to the Paskibra for example,most of Paskibraka aren’t use jilbab. I ever heard that our second president weren’t let hijabers to be paskibraka and that stereotype stay strong till now, when I was in paskibra of my Junior high school,it was so difficult to saty strong with my veil. I was a platoon commander,my coach told me I should left my veil or he won’t let me joining the championship. Swallowing my pride by a diplomatic dialogue with my coach and teachers,they were let me use my veil. It wasn’t easy to wear a short skirt and tight shirt but im still use my veil covering them with a stocking. What a funny commander. Since that,I’m standing with my veil and left paskibra even I know,I love being paskibra.

And also,I left basketball. When I was in pesantren,I was a co-captain of my team. But it was different condition when I enter to the state school. My coach ain’t let me to use my veil,he said it would disturbing my movement my shooting and so on. I hate that stupid regulation. Since that,I left basketball and move to another sport that I love… Taekwondo.

I’m so thanked full to the God when I enter to senior high school. My school prohibits their muslimah student to left their veil whatever the reason is. So I may join all the club based on my passion without scared my coach limiting me to use that veil. Since that,I choose English Club and Taekwondo.

Well,being hijabers is fun! We can be more creative because we have a thousand choices of hijab. You want an ‘instant’ jilbab or we used to say it as Bergo or a complicated jilbab,it’s depending on your choice. You can see the tutorials on Youtube or Magazines.

I’m often proud to myself actually. Well,being hijabers also raising our comfortableness I felt so cool when I was in debating championship for example. Feeling so have an identity without introducing myself. Feels like “hey I’m muslim and I’m not terrorist as you think. I’ve got the point that you explain!” its soooo fantastic. We have our own identity.

And also actually I hate my hairstyle. I use to cut cut and cuts again my hair because it’s getting hotter inside my veil so I keep my hair short. But I when I see the girls who ain’t use their veil,they had long black hair or long coloured –green,yellow,orange- hair. And I know it’s better for me to hide my hair from peoples and only show mine to my muhrim.

I’m feeling safe with this hijab. I’m still remember,I was go to somewhere with my friend. She wore short pants and you-can-see shirt. I was use my long skirt and my veil. I’m so thanked full with this hijaab because there’s no Tukang Ojeg who looks so h**ny with my leg and breast as what my friends did. Naudzubillahi min dzalik

You know,I’m tan skin girl and as all the asian,Indonesian,girl always dreaming of..we wants a white skin. But unfortunately the sun shinnnneeeeessssssss along the year so we have our tan skin. But,by this hijab at least I covered my skin and never let them darker. What a lucky girl I am.

Being hijabers is so simple. As simple as you won’t have to combs your hair after you ride the motorcycle and squawking that the helmet broke your hairdo. You only have to care your hair by wash it,give them a conditioner or another treatment you want and it will keep fresh because the sun won’t shines your hair directly. And we will feel prettier with our hijab. How does it come?

Well,just compare yourself with or without hijab. Ask your friend which one is better for you. I myself prefer to be hijabers. My friends told me it’s better for me to use my veil because I look prettier with my veild. We also can add some accessories in our veil,as simpe as you want.

My mother ever told me,her friend wasn’t muslim but she taught that thus people who wear hijab are smarter than who don’t wear that hijab. So she decide to use hijab as her cloth to makes her comfortableness higher. Subhanallah.

Did you still have any reason to cover your aurat with hijab?

Well,Allah has told us as a muslimah to cover our aurat with hijaab. In His word at surah Al-ahzab : 59. He says we should use jilbab. And if we don’t,hell waiting for us in the end of the days. We will hanging by our hair there. Naudzubillahi min dzalik

Allah swt know the best. As a good muslimah we should obey what our god has said. So why we still wait to use jilbab? Stay strong with “pengen kerudungin dulu hati” reason? It was sooooooo last year. Should we wait the Pahala that Allah will gives and Heaven as Allah has been promise to us? God won’t lie to us. World will became so easy with this veil. Stay strong muslimah. Be hijabers!
