By the way, I’ve always found it interesting that people hide behind the label of "anonymous" when they are making bold, impassioned statements.

Its been nice to read your post and I’m happy I’ve explored your blog!

As Muslims, you and I both know what is written for us in our Deen, correct? We know what is obligatory on us and the responsibility we take on by stating the Shahadah and essentially engraving it in our soul. Our Deen is perfect, this is common knowledge.

Muslims, however, are still human beings. Human beings inherently make mistakes. So, first of all, as Muslims we should continuously push each other toward what is good and what we know is right. We are weak, and it’s clear that we could always use a reminder. (Verily, man is in loss. Except those who do have faith, do good deeds, and join one another in the teaching of Truth, Patience, and Constancy. [103:1-3] ) A good Muslim brother or sister in Islam will act as that reminder for you. We all make mistakes, and, who knows, backbiting may be one of them. Even if we, personally fall into the trap of the sin, writing about it, and thus informing yourself and others about it, serves as a continuous reminder for oneself and one’s fellow Muslim brothers and sisters.

Also, it’s apparent that hijab is one’s own choice. Whether or not you wear hijab is usually your own decision. (It’s not "preaching" when someone inserts "In my opinion..") I’m not quite what it means when you say "pretending" to be "some amazing scholar," because the blog quite clearly serves as a mere outlet, not some cynical ruse to gain followers. I do know that there’s an issue when someone has so much anger that, not only do they express it childishly, but they have to express it anonymously.

If you don’t wear hijab, then it is your problem. Fine. But commenting rudely on a blog – someone’s own personal thoughts, ideas, and suggestions – really proves a greater problem within yourself. In my opinion, I suggest you express your insecurities to your Lord, not on a striving Muslimah’s WordPress. If you can’t bring yourself to direct your issues to the correct place, then rant on your own blog. I’d love to read it.

Why do you not take your own advice, i.e.

"Stop preaching and do something else with your life"

Ayesha,

Keep up the good work.

and also, about your other blog discussing "if you won’t stop anyone from wearing hijab, why stop yourself"… It’s a personal choice. yes, it’s a command. Whether we choose to wear it or not is our problem, not yours. So stop preaching and do something else with your time. Thanks.
