hijabista?

Assalamualaikum...

I feel like wanna blog about this term 'hijabista'. What is hijabista? According to mr. wiktionary, hijabista means "A Muslim woman or girl who dresses stylishly while conforming to the Islamic modesty code (hijab)". It is so scary how people will or are interpreting this definition of hijabista. Do we really need this term at the first place? Surprisingly, when I googled this term, I can feel the negative vibes from most of the bloggers towards this so-called new image for Muslimah.

Sangat takut sebenarnya jika niat kita tidak betul untuk menutup aurat. I don't claim myself as perfect when it comes to covering aurat. So many areas that need to be improved. I know there is perception like " x pe, janji pakai tudung... ok la dari yg x pakai tudung". 'tak pe' or 'at least' attitude is actually will lead to a wrong direction altogether. It is more challenging nowadays as there are so many styles of hijab because we are afraid that young girls or those who are just in the process of learning Islam, will have misconception towards the proper way to cover their aurat.

Ok..in my humble point of view la kan, as long as the concept of covering aurat is there ( like labuhkan tudung smpai bawah dada, tak jarang, tak ketat), there is nothing wrong with styling senses, be it the hijab or the attire. Harus diingat, konsep menutup aurat dalam Islam mestilah 'tidak melebih-lebih' sehingga menarik perhatian kaum bukan muhrimnya. Tapi kalau perempuan tu cantik giler, pakai purdah n abaya all black pun lelaki tetap akan pandang. Anugerah Allah s.w.t kan... That's why diwujudkan niqab bagi menutup sebahagian wajah bagi perempuan yang terover cantik ni. But again, kita tengok pulak culture masing2.

For me, Malay ladies mmg ada sedikit confusion...dalaman confusion..sebab kita adalah orang Islam yang berlatar belakangkan budaya Melayu yang sangat kuat. So kita memang sangat sukakan colors. Malaysia dan of course Melayu adalah sangat colorful. That's why kita sukakan tudung and baju yang pelbagai warna. In fact, sangat striking color nya! And most of us could accept the color-blocking fashion! Jadi, how are we going to deal with the real / basic concept of covering aurat where u should not wear attire that could attract men to look at you? Obviously, beautiful colors can attract them to look at you. Thus, do we have to wear black, grey and brown all the time?

Well, for me, there is a way. Tone down the color. For example, if you think your red dress is very striking and will catch the men's eyes, why don't you put on a black cardigan to tone down the element of attractiveness? and with a black shawl, maybe... I think it is our own responsibility to check our outfit before going out in public. Ketepikan nafsu untuk kelihatan lebih daripada orang lain, fikirkan dosa yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh suami or ayah, malah kita sendiri. Slow slow. ( Tuan tanah pun slowly untuk berubah. Mari kita saling berdoa).

Alhamdulillah juga, semakin ramai artis yang bertudung. I don't think we should have a negative perception towards this issue. It is very good as they have many fans. Kita doakan saja semoga pemakaian mereka lebih baik lepas ni. Nak cerita, I still remember, masa mula2 demam hijabista ni wujud pada tahun 2009. Honestly speaking, I am one of their fans and followers. Sebab: I memang jenis suka bersiap. Ntah. memang perangai macam tu. Kalau senang sangat or rasa sangat simple, I rasa I x boleh. Terukkan? Tapi x de lah over smpai nak pakai turban. My style is: tak terlalu simple tapi I suka yang perlukan effort ataupun lain sikit pada yang lain. I suka semua jenis tudung; bawal, awning, shawl. I suka tukar2...tapi paling suka shawl la..sebab boleh buat macam2 style and I think shawl ni lebih bersifat universal. giteww. I rasa kalau awning2 macam fareeda ni sangat Malaysia. So, kalau I rasa nak feel Malaysia lebih sikit, I akan pakai awning. janji kemas. wahhh bukan main.haha.

Ok berbalik kpd demam hijabista, I still remember yg I mula2 rasa teruja sbb terdapat tahu fasal blogger Fatin liyana. I suka sangat! masa tu sangat tengah trend pakai inner kat dalam and shawl lilit lilit sikit kat luar. I rasa sangat international look macam tu. So memang i suka ikut gaya adik Fatin ni. Siap beli shawl macam dia kat blogshop yang sama! haha.

your truly ;) ..sama tak.. sama tak? haha

Lepas tu, terjumpa pulak blog Puan Tengku Rinanda ni. Laaagilah suka sebab dia pun da kawen and ada anak2. So, rasa lagi banyak persamaan gitu. boleh tak? Tapi, I mmg paling banyak refer to her style. She is effortlessly beautiful with her hijab style and outfit. Semua jenis tudung dia berani cuba and semuanya kena.
