An Important Educational Reminder
Many of these practices are not merely “adornment,” but rather cultural messages that express:
* Rebellion against natural disposition.
* The erosion of modesty.
* Dissolution into Western body-centered culture.
A Muslim woman is not required to prove her freedom through her body; rather, through her servitude to her Lord, the nobility of her character, and the firmness of her identity.
May Allāh reward you abundantly, bless you, and increase you in adherence to the truth.
And Allāh knows best.
