Good things are always hard to obtain. Bad things come like raindrops. When I fisrt started to wear my hijab, it was hard. I wear literally the same thing every single day cause that's the only thing I have that covers me properly. I wasn't a big fan of skirts at the time so I have no Jubah and no baju kurung that I can wear out casually. Thus, all I have is 2 long sleeves t-shirts and a few pants.
Well, this time around it isn't about me but about women in general. Women who have been given hidayah to put on a hijab.
Firstly, people should know that it's not easy to suddenly cover yourself perfectly. If the woman used to dress in a very appealing manner, they have very limited long sleeves shirt without having holes anywhere. Thus, if they do wear things that might be slightly inappropriate yet still covering their hair, do respect them and give them another chance.
It's true that women love to shop and it takes months to actually own that huge collection of theirs. A wardrobe change wouldn't be achieved in a month or so. Also, women need to discover themselves. Everyone knows that buying a single piece of clothes take forever for a women, so how long do you think they will need to change their entire wardrobe?
Changes need time. It does not happen within a day nor will it happen within a month. Drastic changes are never good. Some people who goes through drastic changes might find themselves to be in a shocking position that they eventually go back to their bad habit.
Whatever it is, people should not judge another by their appearance cause we do not know their story. They might just have put on their hijab yesterday and being judged the day after. Even the people with hijab yet tight clothings, we shouldn't judge them either. They might not know the proper way of hijab and it is our responsibility to guide these kind of people.
This post is actually a reminder. Especially to myself. I need to tell myself to stop judging people and guide them instead cause that is the best way of doing things.
