Description

MY BODY IS MY OWN BUSINESS
BY NAHEED MUSTAFA

I often wonder whether people see me as a radical, fundamentalist Muslim terrorist packing an AK-47 assault rifle inside my jean jacket. Or maybe they see me as the poster girl for oppressed womanhood everywhere. I’m not sure which one it is.

I get the whole range of strange looks, stares, and covert glances. You see, I wear the hijab, a scarf that covers my head, neck, and throat.I do this because I am a Muslim woman who believes her body is her own private affair.

Young Muslim women are reclaiming the hijab, reinterpreting it in light of its original purpose to give back to women ultimate control of their own bodies.

The Qur’an teaches us that individuals should not be judged according to gender, beauty, wealth or privilege.

I loved the way she started the article and seriously I feel as if she was talking on behlaf of me. She got it right. I've always felt the same way she feels but never knew how to deliver such message. Thank you so much
