As the world marked the World Hijab Day on Wednesday, Feb 1, some well-known Muslim personalities and organizations worldwide commemorated the day with events held in masjids, cultural centers, and virtually on social media.
Below are some social media posts supporting the event and the choices of Muslim women around the world who decide to wear hijab.
Haleh Banani
“On a psychological note, the hijab means seeking internal validation, overcoming insecurities, liberating myself from shackles of society and having inner strength and confidence to stand for what I believe in.”
Mufti Menk
“In a world where many stand up for those being forced to cover, very few stand up for those being forced to uncover.”
