10% OFF!

A short personal story of a girl who faces irrational criticism over her choice of clothing. The writer highlights how quick the society is in subjecting a young woman to baseless hatred and criticism; that too for something as inconsequential as a piece of cloth. This book also includes excerpts from her private journal and her diary.

Quotes from Why I Stopped Wearing Abaya

“completely honest, the primary reasons behind me wearing an Abaya were not Islamic or the need to cover myself from head to toe.”
“The types and the ways how you wear abaya are more influenced by the culture, tradition, society and custom made social standards than religion itself.”
“If she is rich, they make her wear sleeveless and to represent a middle/low class girl, you mostly see her wearing a dupatta.”
