Dawud Wharnsby - The Veil

They say, "Oh, poor girl, you're so beautiful you know
It's a shame that you cover up your beauty so."
She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly,
"This beauty that I have is just one simple part of me.
This body that I have, no stranger has the right to see.
These long clothes, this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.
Faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn't you agree?

This hijab,
This mark of piety,
Is an act of faith, a symbol,
For all the world to see.
A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.

They tell her, "Girl, don't you know this is the West and you are free?
You don't need to be opressed, ashamed of your femininity."
She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly,

"See the bill-boards and the magazines that line the check-out isles, with their phony painted faces and their air-brushed smiles?
Well their sheer clothes and low cut gowns are really not for me.
You call it freedom, I call it anarchy."

This hijab,
This mark of piety,
Is an act of faith, a symbol,
For all the world to see.
A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.
Lift the veil from your heart and seek the heart of purity.

@mrhitmanisback will see about that on judgement day, you can argue as much as you can but my point is clear to everyone.

@muslimwhacker To thos who try & justify there vicious words with remarks like 'child fu**er' you will know the consequence on day of judgement prophet mohammed pbuh led the world into islam and considering its the fastest growing religion to date you must be nasty & spiteful out of fear that people are seeing islam as logic and NOTas a terrorist ridden evil religion? inshallah you will remember your words and realise how wrong you are.May allah stw guide you on the path of righteousness. peace

Assallamu Allykum...note to uploader...This nasheed is SO meaningless

when you add pictures like that to it. There is probably nothing more attractive

(ask any man) then a set of eyes layered in makeup popping out through the

niqab. Please people. don't make a joke out of hijab. Even the none muslims

laugh at this.

May Allah bless the Muslimah that maintain the hijab.

It was a lovely song, and true, but the video that accompanied it was almost akin to female objectification. In my mind the eyes, as some say the gateway to the soul, were chosen because they were aesthetically pleasing. If you are trying to put forward a message then do not dilute it with psychological pornography. Our Muslim women deserve more.

@butterflyz2011 will make doa for you inshaAllah

@DjKroniKz You DON'T think that the death sentence for leaving your cult is wrong? And what does that have to do with women making their own choice about what they want to wear?

[DjKroniKz]

@muslimwhacker nope. they think about what the men want to see "hmmm i need to show my legs to the male collegues at the office so i need to wear this short skirt..." also " if i wear ths top it covers my clevege! what will ppl think of me! "

[ribena4sure]

@muslimwhacker obviously its wrong that why its not true.and being a liar is one thing im definetely not.murder is FORBIDDEN in islam so those who think u are allowed to do so are obviously not muslims.why cant you just accept that everyone has there own beliefs and let them believe what they want to believe.would u like it if someone was insulting ur religion or faith.and why is it our religion ur singling out.im guessing u dont remember the "ku klux klan" or the "republican conflict" etc.

[muslimwhacker]

@ribena4sure You are plain out LYING about your religion. Your death-cult commands that those who choose to leave your evil cult must be killed. Don't you think that's wrong?
