As i get ready to go into the outside world I look in the mirror What do i see? My beauty Then i slip on the hijab why? I cover my outer beauty So you take a look at my inner beauty I step into the cruel and unjust society of this "free" country i look at avoiding eyes and stares i hear whispering from every side i think to myself "i am not here to please everyone" i am here to please Allah then i hold my head with the hijab high Allah has chosen this jihad for me to overcome yes this is my jihad
