Empowering women through choice and promoting religious freedom, the Islamic Perspective challenges Western stereotypes about the hijab and encourages dialogue to foster mutual understanding and respect between cultures.

In the West, they propagate lies,

About our women and their guise,

They speak of oppression and control,

And label the hijab a symbol of a backward soul.

They don’t understand the beauty it holds,

A symbol of faith, of modesty, untold.

It’s a shield from the world, a protective veil,

A sign of submission, and not of betrayal.

The hijab is a symbol of our identity,

Our faith, our strength, and our dignity.

It’s a choice that we make, with love and pride,

To honor our Creator, and in Him, confide.

They speak of liberation and freedom,

But what they offer is a distorted kingdom.

Where women are judged by their appearance,

And their worth is measured by their adherence.

But we know better, we know the truth,

That the hijab is a treasure, a pearl of great worth.

It’s a symbol of our faith, our piety, and our love,

A blessing from Allah, our Lord above.

So let them propagate their lies,

And speak of oppression and control,

For we know the truth, we know our worth,

And the hijab is our crown, our glory, our firth.

In Islam, we find true liberation and freedom,

Where our worth is not judged by our external kingdom.

But by our deeds, our faith, and our inner beauty,

For in Allah’s eyes, we are all equal in dignity.

So wear your hijab with pride and grace,

And let them see the beauty of your faith.

For the hijab is a symbol of our strength,

And in Allah, we trust our Lord at great length.
