God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that Iโm not here to please men with my body; Iโm here to please God. God elevates the dignity of a womanโs body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.
Yasmin MogahedAs Muslim women, we have been liberated from this silent bondage. We donโt need societyโs standard of beauty or fashion, to define our worth. We donโt need to become just like men to be honored, and we donโt need to wait for a prince to save or complete us. Our worth, our honor, our salvation, and our completion lies not in the slave. But, in the Lord of the slave.
