Re: what do you say when someone asks you why you where hijab?
For those who say its to cover your beauty, what about the ones who wear makeup, and fashionable clothes? And instead of hair, they jus thave a colorful scarf. Some think hijab is only covering your hair, and thats' it, whereas others feel its a total lifestyle, i.e. modesty in EVERY aspect. Then there are some who simply say its what their religion asks, offering nothing in teh way of reasoning and logic..
For people who don't offer any logical reason for it, they aren't doing anything wrong, logic and reasoning should only serve to strengthen our faith, not to define it and be the reason we are doing it.
For example, we don't fast in Ramadan to be healthy and lose weight, we do it because Allah told us to, however when we do what Allah says we always gain benefits in this dunya as well.
