Shall I Tell You Why?

Bismillah

Shall I tell you why I stayed?
Someone asked once, why I put up with everything I did when I was with him.  Like somehow I had to deal with it.  But that was never the case.  I chose him.  From the day we met, I could have chosen not to text him back, I could have chosen to ignore him.  But I did what I wanted to.  Because there was something about him, something I found hard to define.

Sometimes when you get to know someone, you begin to understand who they are and what goes on in their mind.  You get to know their soul, and that's what it was like with him.  Maybe he wasn't the kind of guy you'd tell your parents about at first, but I knew the kind of man he would become.  I believed in him, and that's all he needed.

He needed someone to pick him up on his worst days, he needed someone to tell him that everything was going to be okay.  He needed someone to push him to the limits and off, and make him believe that whatever people says about him may not be true, and that he need not listen to them.

They asked me why I stayed, my answer was quite simple; I loved him.  I loved who he was when he was around me.  Maybe he wasn't best for me, that's what many of them thought.. but maybe I was best for him?  Maybe I can be the one that changed his life and be there to help him become the man he could only dream about.  I stayed for as long as I could have, and I wonder after all these years... if his heart wishes to have me back.

He did.  And I was right to have stayed and waited for him.  I was right when I didn't give up on him although I almost did.  He's mine now, to say.  And for the years to come if Allah wills, we'll be together as one.  Ignore what people would say.  I loved him, and still loving him, insya Allah.

Yours sincerely,

Aurat Terjaga, Maruah Terpelihara

Bismillah

Dewasa ini, ramai di kalangan kaum wanita yg berhijab disebabkan fesyen. Padahal, ajaran Islam tidak pernah menyuruh wanita Islam bertudung semata-mata, tetapi dikehendaki menutup aurat. Tidak kira dgn tudung langsir sekalipun 😅

Sekiranya sekadar memakai tudung sahaja, ia tidak dinamakan menutup aurat mengikut kehendak Islam. Justeru, didapati bahawa wanita bertudung yang ditangkap ketika melakukan maksiat dan perkara-perkara tidak senonoh hampir kesemuanya atau majoritinya tidak menutup aurat walaupun mereka bertudung! 😰

Masyarakat Islam wajar memahami perbezaan di antara tudung fesyen dan tudung yang menutup aurat. Boleh dikatakan amat ramai sekali wanita Islam pada hari ini memilih untuk memakai tudung fesyen daripada tudung untuk menutup aurat. Apa tidaknya, kelihatan amat ramai wanita yang memakai tudung, tetapi dalam masa yang sama mengenakan seluar ‘jeans’ yang ketat yang menonjolkan bentuk tubuh. Begitu juga mereka yang bertudung, tetapi juga dibaluti dengan baju ketat yang menonjolkan bentuk dada mereka dengan begitu jelas. Tidak kurang pula wanita yang bertudung ini memakai pakaian yang jarang menampakkan tubuh badan mereka.

Kalau beginilah tudung yang dipakai, ia hanya boleh dianggap sebagai tudung fesyen, bukannya berhijab sepertimana dikehendaki di dalam ajaran Islam.

Kalaulah perkara seumpama ini terus berlaku, maka jelaslah bahawa kekeliruan dalam persoalan aurat dalam kalangan wanita pada hari ini telah membawa kepada penyakit barah yang semakin lama semakin parah. Sehubungan dengan itu, perlulah disuntik kesedaran dengan segera berasaskan ilmu agar umat Islam kembali menghayati peraturan dan sistem aurat yang wujud dalam syariat Islam yang bertujuan membawa kebaikan dan keharmonian hidup individu mahupun masyarakat.

Fenomena ini bukan sahaja menimpa masyarakat Melayu kita. Malah, masyarakat dan komuniti Arab juga terpengaruh oleh fesyen tudung yg pelbagai sehingga mereka lupa bahawa 'tudung' dan 'hijab' itu adalah dua perkara berbeza.

Tidak salah berfesyen!
Tapi pilihlah ikut kehendak agama. Bukan kehendak nafsu semata.

Marilah kita saling ingat-mengingati. Yg utama, kita mulakan dgn diri kita.

AURAT DIJAGA, MARUAH TERPELIHARA
