The Concealed Pearl


Two Muslim girls in a classroom – one wearing a Hijab; the other one without.

The girl with no scarf – eager to have a laugh began to gossip and shout…
“Take off your headscarf – lets see the length of your hair…
Go on just this once – it’s only a dare!”
The other girl scoffed still wanting to have fun…

“So you’re prepared to roast under the burning sun??”
“Yes – because the heat right now means nothing to me;
It is the hell fire which is extremely scary”
Girl with no scarf – still wanting to say more…
“Why are you wearing it? What is the purpose for?”


“Allah will keep evil and punishment away from me….
This Hijab is there in my life for security…
I love and value my faith – which is why I cover my head”
Smiling the girl in the Hijab had said.


The other girl tensed – but not showing she’s feeling bad….
“Why not show everyone your beauty – once you have, you’ll feel ever so glad!”

“The beauty is inside me – where Islam is growing in my heart…
…appreciating Allah is the way for a happy start!”

At this point, the girl with no Hijab had nothing else left to say…
She knew that the other girl was always joyful

and confident each and every day.

She realised that this Sister in Hijab will always

remain pure and never will walk in shame….

The girl with no scarf knew she wanted to be exactly the same.
This is why, when she went home – she made a very big decision.
She realised that loving Allah can put you

in such a wonderful position.

In the classroom, the next day – this girl was wearing her Hijab for the first ever time – feeling so proud…

Looked at the other girl whom she had made fun of before had said out loud…

“Oh sister of Islam – forgive me for the things I have said….
Seeing the love you hold for our religion has today made me cover my head…

Your sweet and caring words that you so dearly expressed…
Made me see how Islam has given you so much respect


I know that Allah will gift those who follow Islam….
Wearing my Hijab – I know that I will be safe from any harm.

Thank you My Sister – for you who I now admire and congratulate
Together as Muslims, we should aim to reach Jannat’s Gates.”

The first girl – amazed, had happiness all over her face
Smiled with love and gave the Sister a lot of praise.

“Marshallah Sister – Indeed Allah will purify your heart and your deen…
Continue love for our faith and in Heaven we will be seen…
Wearing the Hijab – we will always stay as the ‘Respected
Girl’…


Purity is required of all, because Almighty Allaah says in another verse (interpretation of the meaning):

“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed”

[al-Ahzaab 33:59].


Her rejection of both types, and them making fun of her, is apostasy from Islam,Hijab is prescribed in Islam and that it is part of the religion of Allaah, so denying it and making fun of it is kufr which puts one beyond the pale of Islam.

If you have friends who makes fun of hijab then say this to them:
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And when they hear Al‑Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk), they withdraw from it and say: ‘To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. Peace be to you. We seek not (the way of) the ignorant’”

[al-Qasas 28:55].

And to Allah Subhana Wa Taala we will be known as the ‘Concealed Pearl!’
