Much Ado About Leggings and the Modern Muslim Girl

Leggings are cool. Leggings are awesome. But they start to lose their awesomeness when a Muslim woman wears them.

*Aku lupa dari mana aku dapat gambar ni.*

Hey, my friends. It's okay if you're not wearing a shawl/scarf to cover your head (although that's still undesirable but that's your choice), but it gets real ugly when you wear leggings - AND A SHAWL. Like our little lady over here. 

Here, a few dalils on how covering your aurat is important as heck:

Qur'an [33:59]
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

Qur'an [7:26]
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.

Qur'an [24:31]
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

Ya see what I mean now? It's not so much as the issue of being backwards and out of fashion. By all means Islam is a religion of tolerance and gives room for fashion and tastes. But look out - the area of fashion is a tricky one. In the end you might as well ditch the Zara and Banana Republic clothes and start wearing a juba and burqa and be done with it. End of story.

The issue here is - look at the lady again. Can you see the shape of her calves? Yes? No? Yes? See what I mean? In Islam, wearing skin-tight clothes is a no-no and should never be worn by a decent Muslim.

The only person that should be allowed to wear skin-tight clothing around here is Vegeta!

It turns into a real eye-sore when you're fat. I'm going to be very blunt over here. Fat and confident does not give you the privilege of wearing leggings that only seem to hold the fat around your calves and thighs in place so that they won't fall. And for Heaven's sake - YOU ARE A MUSLIM! Since when do leggings go under the category of "TUTUP AURAT"?!

But then again, it is entirely up to your choice. You can take my advice and attempt to wear more decent fashions from now on, or you can pass my advice off as 'silly conservative uneducated advice' and go on with your life, leggings and all. But always remember what you like may not be what society likes. So you have a choice. 

But when it comes to leggings, Android #18 tops all! Even the pretty scarf-clad ladies wearing leggings! SO YOO  LUZ.

Peace, brothers and sisters!

I still remember my Xanga account even after not updating it for the past TWO years. That's been too long.

I need to revamp it. Badly.

Music? In My Blog?

I cannot fathom having music in my blog.

You already have a music player on your computer, so plugging into your music while reading my blog is just the same as having a music player here. The only plus is you get to choose your own music. Isn't that already enough?

I can't begin to tell you how much is this a pet peeve of mine. It's something so common with many young Malaysian bloggers. The moment you drop by their blogs you get crappy buffering music. No joke. 

I don't really mind their choice of music, but the problem is they BUFFER. It's hard to get music that can be streamed almost instantly the very exact moment you clicked on the link to the blog. You don't. It's freaking hard.

So long story short, I never add music to my blog. If you want music, then just open your Windows Media Player and listen to your own library of music. 

SINGLE AND LOVING IT.

I ended my relationship with a certain someone on the grounds that I'm no good for him - I can't. Too many commitments!

And he didn't trust me anymore.

Great grounds for a breakup.

NOW I AM FREE! 8D

I should celebrate my singlehood, but here I am posting this blog. You're probably tired of this and want to see more videos, artworks and the like. Don't worry, me hearties! We're getting there! ;)

What better way to celebrate my newfound singlehood with a hilarious video of Kingdom Hearts Crazy Files! Now with TFS Dragon Ball Z Abdridged! ;D

"You can't lay a finger on MY Butterfinger!" BAHAHA
