*"So, do you really think Allah will hold me accountable if I slack a little in my hijab? Would the whole world stop? Has it become the greatest of problems? When the world is on fire and Muslims are being slaughtered, focusing on things like this is just absurd."* My dear daughter, the issue is not merely that "little bit" of slackness you take lightly. The real concern lies in what this slackness represents—it signals a generation that compromises Allah’s commands even in the face of a declared, ferocious war against their religion. Despite over a year and a half of heart-wrenching events that could break stone, which one would expect to trigger an unprecedented spiritual awakening in response to this unprecedented aggression—unfortunately, the level of impact remains *far* below what is needed. The real issue is that, as a mother who is herself lax in obedience, you will struggle to raise a generation that will respond to Allah’s command: "Hold fast to what We have given you with strength"**—a generation that will rise to break the chains of humiliation, dependency, and servitude to the global order. *The absurdity, my daughter, is not in reminding you to obey Allah—it lies in your evasion of the personal responsibility you *do* *have to reform your own self, by deflecting attention toward the world’s problems and the massacres of Muslims—issues which your own neglect of Allah’s commands does *nothing* *to help.* The problem is when this negligence is not just a passing sin you acknowledge as wrong and repent from, but rather a permanent state that doesn’t bother your conscience or stir your heart. The problem is that as we walk today, it is rare to see a young woman whose appearance reminds us of obedience to Allah. I know many young men looking to marry who specifically seek a woman who observes her hijab properly, is not influenced by feminist ideology, and is content not to post heavily made-up selfies on social media. They find this extremely difficult to come by. And then we ask: *Why hasn’t Allah granted us victory yet?* If you cannot "sacrifice" in these simple, visible matters—related merely to your appearance—then how will you raise and inspire a generation capable of true sacrifice? A generation that can stand up to global tyranny and restore the dignity of the Muslim Ummah? We ask Allah to help us all in obeying Him in both the smallest and the greatest of matters, so we may be worthy of His support and His victory. *“Hold fast to what We have given you with strength.” (Qur'an)* 📝𝐃𝐫.
