who are we kidding?!

"did you keep ur hijab on?" "of course!!!!" "its just that some people take their hijab off when they go to non- muslim countries!"

That's what my Friend said when i told her about my trip to UK.

first of all,,,,Do i strike my friend as someone who would take their hijab off when they leave the muslim society?! i certainly didn't think so.....
secondly,,,,since when was wearing the hijab only an obligation when ur around muslims?being free to take it off when you switch to a non-muslim country where the majority aren't covering their heads.
is it just an act of following the crowd?wearing it when other people are and then taking it off when they're not,as not to stand out and have people watching u as an outsider.
i didn't even know people do that,i still don't believe they do.maybe my friend just said that basing her story on only one person she knew.I mean...who are we kidding??!!
Hijab is supposed to be OUR PRIDE,our sign of obedience that we force other people to respect us by.

    excellent honey, when i hear such weird stories i sometimes feel that such people are not truly Muslims its just that they found themselves in a muslim environment after birth "thats it".
    coz if they understand the meaning of Islam they would never think like that. they would know that having faith and confidence in Allah is more important than simply wearing hijab.coz rule number one says:
    "ALLAH SEES US EVERYWHERE" believe in it
