Why I wear hijjab?
(Disclaimer: Content is not meant to offence or condemns any party but just opinions for discussion purpose only)

I've been in situation where people posted me with this question. Those curious enthusiastic people who demand explanation or perhaps testing your understanding and commitment towards your faith.

Or maybe, because they as an outsider also are as confuse as certain of us.

Why I wear hijjab?
It's a reflection of my faith.
It is 'tuntutan'.
Because I am a Muslimah.

They are so many ways of answering such question.

An individual once approach me and ask.
'Well lets us all go to bar afterwards.' Silent
'Why not all my Malay friend went there. It's not wrong is it? Just take off your hijjab, problem solved'
Silent again.

So, why am I wearing hijjab?

It's all started as I entered high school. At first it was merely a rule. A rule imposed on all of us. But it grows on you. You learn the rational of such act. The beauty of such 'tuntutan'.You've learned and relearned. But Bording School was such a cocoon. You are shielded and protected from all the temptation of the 'outside' world.

Post-high school, it is when you are really tested.

Some are no longer keen on hijjab.Some shovels it in boxes but some are consistent. Now it already becomes a norm. You felt weird not wearing it. But have we really understood why?

Then fashion came in to picture.
Where covering you bosoms are not in consideration anymore.

Then, post university, you've been tested again

You are a graduate with impressive qualification. With determination to rise above the barred set by your society. To enter new worlds, to be recognized, hence you must be internationally capable. You jump into a pool we called globalization.Global organization, global communication, global culture. You learned jargon like K- Economy and strive toward fulfilling it.

Here your faith being tested again and again. There is somewhere along the line we you felt mistreated because of the way you dress up. They labelled you uncivilized, conventional, out dated, out of place.
Some retreat and start playing by their rules.Hijjab-free what they called it.

I was surprise with some question during interview by one of 'ours', that asking you to remove your hijjab because it does not reflect the organization image.
So, is wearing hijjab a burden?

By right it shouldn't be. It is NOT AT ALL. But we people are making fuss of it. So just answer this question

Will it affect your work performance?
NO

Will it make you less cooperative in organization?”
NO
Will it make your IQ down a notch?
Absolutely NOT

Will it restrict you from leading a good life in our modern globalize society.
NO. Absolutely not unless you have a very different interpretation of * modern globalize society. (Which I do not wish to elaborate)

Wearing hijjab does not refrain me from being a good person. It does not make me less modern that any one. It does not make me a burden in any society or group I'm in. It does not deprive me from my right to contribute to society and human kind. It does not make me useless.

In fact,
It makes me a better person. It makes me close to my faith. It makes me always remember that I am a reflection of what I believe in. It make me think every action that I'm about to make. It makes people respect me as a Moslem woman.

That's the beauty of hijjab to me.

P/s – to those who know me, wish me a save journey .I will be back in a week with a lots more to write.

I need to write when things need to be told...

When things keeps falling on your head.

It is so much easier to dump all your problem on others. It even much easier to dump all your responsibilities to other and start pointing fingers when things go wrong. Unfortunately I am the 'other' fella.
Being the person at end of the ladder does not give me much advantage to be firm and not having any consequences in the long run. Saying no it self will deprive your capacity as a professional being, but if you only know CPR and simple dressing you are far from being a qualified doctor.
Am I right?
Being the one at the other end of the ladder, does not gave you all the right to start dumping. Never let a PBSM do a doctor job. Or the consequences will be severely intolerable.

While you want to think big, there are hard realities you'll have to take into account.
