Yahoo! Avatar in Hijab

Filed under: Islam 72

This is what happened when I discovered they added a hijab to Yahoo! Avatars:

Too bad it only comes in one color. I hope they improve on that.

To be honest, the hijab is too high up for my liking. Out of the six, the first three would be the most practical and realistic because of the scarves. Ideally, a good hijab would cover the hair, ears, neck and chest.

It was nice that the traditional black burka (the 4th one) was included with the others, but really Yahoo!, did it need to be so form-fitting?

Because evil tempts

Filed under: Islam 488

I’m doing something wrong. Something very wrong. I should stop but I keep going back to it. I know the consequences it holds, and I still go back to it. Like a broken record, like an idiot.

I make resolutions, I decide to turn over a new leaf. Months later, my resolve breaks. I repent, regret and vow never to do it again. Over and over, time and time again.

And I think, am I really this weak?

I need to stop this. I need… Him. I need His help. I need Him to help me. If He wills. And I need to make an effort to make the change myself. Asking Him for help is one thing. But it’s no use if I just sit there and wait for it to come. I’d have to work towards it, and if He wills it’ll happen. It must be a test of some kind.

The first step is to admit you have a problem. This is mine.
