As a Muslimah I can tell you the ONLY reason I wear my hijab(my khimar, jilbab and niqaab) is because it is ordained by my Lord..period! Its really nothing to do with any man or woman even for that matter. In the past, as one ignorant of my religion, I was faaaar from wearing hijab because I didn't realize it's importance. When I did realize this I took to wearing it.And the reason is purely to please my Creator and nothing more. Not because I think by wearing it I'm gonna be automatically considered a pious or precious woman because that is for God to judge based on ALL my deeds and not just my choosing to cover up.
I am a human being not a piece of candy or jewelry. My God created me to worship Him and my purpose in life,my aims and goals, are far great ,that comparing me to candy and trinkets is just plain demeaning.
