Muzz

I am probably going to pretend to be Muslim because I believe that’s the only way I won’t be questioned and will be accepted by at least somebody. Every other time, I am too genuine and actually modest that it socially handicaps me. I am real modest though, not like western hijabis. They try to look pretty and know that hijabs and abayas are somewhat attractive even though it hides their figure (it’s flowy and feminine), and they allow themselves to look attractive to others. One thing I dislike is people will say modesty is good and have it mean that it’s good to cover yourself, but it is much more. It’s your behaviour, how you choose to present yourself. It’s being unassuming. If that is what is commonly worn where you are, then of course it’s ok.. but where I live personally, it would attract more attention. They can say that it’s good to be showcase your religion, but that is ostentatious and too proud. Sadly, I will probably sacrifice my modesty and sincerity for this because I want to live a less questioned ‘good’ life. Islam is a good excuse for me. Why don’t you party? Muslim. Why don’t you post yourself? (Oh I’m too modest and don’t want the attention or validation- can’t say that. They’ll think I’m hiding something) Muslim. Why don’t you debate and argue with others to bring yourself up? Muslim (though this is one thing a lot of muslims do that I consider hypocrites. Only those that promote Islam and say they are knowledgeable). Oh, and I’m very attracted to muslims that are good on their faith. If I were to get married and have a kid with a Muslim man and he’d obviously want to raise them muslim, I won’t stop him. Too bad so many people are only good because they fear consequences in the after life, or want a reward. Here, there are no decent people with the same values as me that would be in the same circles as a disbeliever. People didn’t believe me either that I was just good to be good and disregarded me though I’d never encourage what they consider wrongdoing. Other religious people I’ve known are not ascetic enough for me.. so it looks like that’s what I’m going to do. It wouldn’t be difficult for me to physically pray or practice other things either. I am now fake


Dc: being humble and modest is different. Modesty is being unassuming, minimal, in whole to not seek or get attention
