This book is the result of the author's personal experiences and observation of the issues concerning Muslim women of today. From the influences of society and culture, to the lack of understanding toward obligations and rights, women in general are under pressure to 'look good'.My beloved Muslim sisters, the quest for beauty has become a serious pre-occupation for many women, however, in Islam, beauty is not just in the eyes of the beholder, but rather, beauty is in the world of creation. InshaAllah, from this book, you may learn to accept and appreciate your true self worth and realise that you are too precious to be unprotected.
This book is a narrative of the author on how Muslim women should dressed themselves as according to the Quran and Sunnah. It is filled with worries of the author upon seeing how Muslim women nowadays dressed and behaved. Especially those who are easily got swayed with the 'beauty standard' made up by the so-called influencers and celebrities.
The first few chapters talked about hayaa' and humility. Another type of 'clothes' that we are supposed to wear but couldn't see much of it. Especially now with all the social medias and the technologies where women were fed with the extreme ideology of confidence and women empowerment to the point that the hayaa' was shredded little by little.
With every reminders, the author support with the evidences from the Quranic verses or hadith which helps me to understand how Islam required women to dress like. There's even some part of the hadith/Quranic verses that were explained further for better understanding, it really helps me understand better.
As much as I agreed with some points, there's few issues that I feels like it is depending on the surrounding and the place we live in. Maybe it was just me trying not to go further than what I am comfortable of but yeah. Not all points were agreeable to me. But I'll keep it in mind to improve myself.
