Asalamu Alaikum Everyone,
Recently I have been listening to Boonaa Muhammed's poetry and Masha'allah he is really good! I probably have listen to almost everyone he has on YouTube but the one that is stuck in my head is Beautiful. The way he talks about the difference between a girl/women that is modest and one that isn't is just well, Beautiful. I think most girls can agree that we love to be appreciated and complimented in a polite and proper way. Listening to how the western compliment a girl they hardly ever mention anything about courage, smart, modesty, and true beauty; inner beauty as well as outer beauty.
I always see this young girl that has make-up on every time and short shorts, her hair is always straight to a point that I thought it was naturally straight. I complimented her hair cut and she told me that her hair is actually naturally very curly and she straightens it EVERYDAY! I am a low maintenance kind of girl so that sounds like a lot to me and it would be pointless to stainghten my hair knowing my hijab will cause my hair to become wavy again. I asked her how old is she and she knocked my hijab off when she told me she was only ELEVEN years old! Once she said that I felt like my mind just took me nine years back when I was eleven and what I was doing then. I didn't know what make-up was, I didn't wear any short clothes and I most certainly didn't straighten my hair. BTW her mom is a Muslim convert.I guess I am a little more old school than most people. I know I got a bit side tracked from the poem but my point is I think this girl most have been influenced by the music to think that her outer appearance is true beauty. I noticed nowadays the kid songs is actually the adult songs but kids singing them instead. I pray may Allah give this young girl guidance and insight to be able to see what true beauty really is.
Anyway, may Allah bless our Ummah with more Muslim men like Boonaa Muhammed. Ameen
