A sister says "I'm too young"

[Purgetroy]

@Sister Jeniffer: Where exactly did you conclude that I discurage anyone from doing anything. As for me, when I have a daughter inshallah, I will keep it to her wish whether she wants to wear the hijab or not.

You can force someone to have the hairstyle you like, to dress the way you like, to put the perfume you like, but sooner or later, you will die or become too far away to keep your control over that person that that person will finaly find a freedom in release from your clutchs.

Take me for example. I'm a boy who's been spending the last 6 years in this misrable house of my parents. The only time I go out is to school and back again. In a closed country like Saudi Arabia, my parents are making things even much worse by trapping me in this house. Not only that, they dont like me to have my long hair, they dont like the music I listen to nor do they like the way I dress (I only wear black).

When it comes to me, after about a month I will be off to England for university. What will I do? I'm going to grow my hair twice as long. Ever heard of goths? Yes, that's exactly what I will look like. The only difference ofcourse is that I wont turn satanic .

For me, I love my parents, but I dont believe in their control over other people, especialy when they reach a certain age. If I dont believe in what they do to me, then they shall never be able to force it on me. Maybe temporarily, but sooner or later I will shoot back and for some people that might have weak self control, they might shoot back very hard into going against their religion even.

For my daughter, I will teach her, but I will leave the choice up to her in the end. I will tell her why hijab is important and I will show her the beauty of Islam. But in the end, no one except God can force her to do anything. If I force her to wear hijab in my presence against her will, God knows what she will do in my absence.

In the end, the way you raise your daughter is up to you. If she's happy, then good for her. All the better. If she's not...well I dont want to tell anyone how to do their job. Its your business.

Finaly, dont tell me shut up cause I never tryed discouraging anyone. All what I said is that I find it disgusting to force little girls to wear an object who's purpose is to keep away lustful eyes. Each age has its thing. For the young ones, it is a time for fun and laughter for it will never come back again. From grade 7 upwards, it is secondary stage where you start learning and building your personality. THEN, maybe you should introduce the hijab.

Period.
