Dear muslimahs , please know , that pictures travel . Taking a picture is like displaying yourself at a clear window by the road . Not everyone will pass by it . Even if there are people who pass by it , they don't pass by it all the time.
So sometimes you think it's safe to sit by the window without covering your aurah properly, thingking that, Oh no one will pass by this window. Ah screw the analogy . Heh .
Bottomline is , let's be safe than sorry . Sometimes you might think that that photo of you without your hijab is safe in your phone/tab/computer. But it's not. Anything can happen. Your devices might be stolen , and that person will gain full access to your files . You might someday get a crazy psycho stalker who's obsessed with you to the point they'll hack your computer . The possibility is endless .
I'm not going to lie , since I recently joined instagram , something has been bothering my mind for quite some time . I see a lot of beautiful Muslim girls all covered up , looking so stylish and chic , yet somehow , something just doesn't feel right. Most of the time it's about the modesty that I feel is decreasing(be it appearance or even acts, speech or manners). I feel like the HIJAB doesn't serve it's true purpose anymore , that to many it's just a piece of cloth that they put on their head simply to cover their hair when the truth is, hijab is so much more than that. The hijab embodies a sacred metaphysical dimension whereby it acts as a 'curtain' to guard one's modesty and beauty as well as providing protection to women against the evil eyes. Hijab is also about guarding one's modesty in dressing, acts, manners and speech . But the reality of what's happening now is I scroll down to the comments section and bam ! So many arguments about the fashion that these girls are portraying . To be on the safe side , if someone is snapping a photo , make sure you're properly covered :)
