Ekram Ibrahim- Hijab
My hijab
I’ve become so accustomed to you
That when they say I’m oppressed or I don’t have any rights
I wonder
“since when“ “I thought I chose you“
not the other way around
My hijab is my religious code
And I will never ever let go
my hijab means cover up
but does not cover up my weaknesses or make me oppressed
But in fact displays my courage
My confidence and my strengths
Which is all built out of love for Allah
And not for the love of materials or this dunya
no it’s not a curtain , not a towel and no I don’t shower in it
Yes I do have hair and don’t tell anyone but I even wash it just like you
I find it funny when they make front of you when if they were to walk a day in my shoes they would take you off the first chance they got
If they were to walk a day in my shoes they would feel peace and love in their hearts
If they were to walk a day in my shoes that they got it all wrong
That yes I’m free, yes I’m peace and yes we are the same you and me
And no man influences my decisions this all me baby. And I’m here to tell you how it really is how I really live
And I know sometimes I joke along but I don’t really mean it I just want to fit it please don’t be angry with me
You know I would never betray you know you are my identity
So please forgive me
My hijab
My beautiful hijab
