Why Did I Start Dressing More Modestly | MY STORY

have you ever asked yourself why Muslim women cover up all parts of their body even their face sometimes ? Well that because being covered will save you from other men’s eyes, but because that’s the truth and Islam is the truth religion a lot of people don’t like Islam and can’t stop fight it , cuz they wanna access your body and Islam tells you to cover up make sense right?

Yes unfortunately dressing modest does make you feel like you should show more sometimes especially when other women who are dressed as “immodest” receive more attention. It comes down to pressure & the influence of your surroundings but in the end you must listen to your mind as the first instinct will inform you of what you should do & feel when it comes to dressing yourself for your comfortability

😍

I still have trouble with "modesty" because there's the scripture about what modesty is 1 Timothy 2:9 but then there's also 1 Samuel 16:7 where it says God doesn't look at outward appearance but the heart. So it's like okay we have one verse that explains what modesty truly is but then we have another verse that says God doesn't look at that stuff anyway so there's the confusion between those two scriptures. I never understand the paradox of scriptures at times. I mean that respectfully. If someone can please help me know I'd appreciate It cuz I don't want to be out here sounding legalistic.

Gosh it’s like nobody thinks modesty is actually the sexiest choice of representing yourself over choosing to show a lot of skin. Most of the times you guys have to admit showing a lot of skin is the intention to get attention no matter what excuse you want to tell yourself and others. This girl at least admits it. But modesty is the most mature way to present yourself, it’s not a dumb “pick me” thing, it’s showing you have self respect and you can attract the right man who values the way you respect yourself and he will respect you too. The less you show, you leave more room for the imagination. You can dress classy and highlight your silhouette. Women back then knew what they were doing when it came to emphasizing the most feminine features. And men ate that up! In a world of kardashians and Cardi B’s, when a woman dresses with class and comfort, it’s a unique sense of style that brings out how humble she is, how SECURE she is. Security in how beautiful her body is. It’s a sense of maturity that less is more

It doesn't matter what people think, what does God think.?
1 Timothy 2:9
“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;”

Someone once said, we as women want to look sexy and be sexy by showing off our bodies and at the same time we are literally upset when men find us sexy and attractive. We want men to not act like men, to some how pretend they are not visual creatures. No, no man should be gross and harass or bother a woman dressed in any way, but you can't control what men look at, think, and feel.

I’m 17 and this helped a lot🤞🏾🤞🏾

Hi ! I am from Turkiye . People always told me I am beautiful and the more they say it the more I wear transprant clothes you know what I mean. I have started prayiny and I am not comfartable when I show off my body. And I dont want to be chosen just because of my body

I love this!

my dad told me once, if you advertise yourself as meat, you’re going to attract dogs

OMG I finally found a video where the woman decided to change her style of dress to modesty NOT because of religion. I was like I CAN’T BE THE ONLY ONE!

Modesty is the second greatest superpower a woman yields, the first is ability to bear another human life. We men notice woman a lot more when shes dressed modestly. Modesty demands respect. To my ladies out there, modesty is true empowerment.

Thank you so much! I recently unconsciously transitioned to a more modest wardrobe because as I’m getting older and I really really regretted not protecting my skin from UV rays (I live in Hawaii). These days I tend to wear UV protective garments and rarely wear sleeveless tops and short shorts. At the beach I now wear one piece swimsuits with board shorts. A happy and freeing side effect from dressing modestly for me, is that I don’t think about my body or how I look as much as I used to, because the feeling of freedom of movement from not having to worry about flashing people, and the freedom from having unwanted attention so liberating for me😅!

good talk :)

Amen. Stacey, you make some really good points.

Islam already teach us to be modest

I used to have an Instagram account and used to post revealing "sexy" stuff because I used to see all the attention insta models were getting, and I wanted to feel the same type of "prestige". But then I started getting all types of creeps in my DM, even in real life, people I'd meet would change the way they treat me after seeing my Instagram! So I deleted this Instagram and totally changed my style. I can be hot sometimes but mostly focus on feminine and classy. I also noticed, high caliber men AVOID women who dress revealingly. I actually asked a high caliber man i met, if he would get with an insta model, and he said definitely NOT. He told me, men might look when girls' bodies are on display, but high quality men find revealing women too "low class" and not wife/dating material. So they actually seek classy, modest women who would be presentable to friends and family, and a woman who respects herself, her body, and others.

Imagine a world where females don't feel the need or the pressure to wear makeup. Imagine.

So glad I found this video! you're definitely an inspiration 🤍

You didn't do it for Christ but I think at the end of the modesty journey you are gonna find Him and are going to realize He was guiding you all the way to respect yourself more. I recommend you to go to confession about this topic and to have Maria as a role model... Its going to be another big step to find more truth as a woman. God bless you!!!

I love this coverstation but I always say in my mind dress for myself feel good feel feminine feel like a baddie say hello gorgeous when you see yourself in the mirror I don’t need a man validation I love feeling good clothes don’t give a attention is your body even when you dress modesty I’ll believe you still get attention or not the clothes Is the body I just want man to respect me period I don’t wanna get treated like a whore I’m a woman of God so don’t blame the girls people have lust problem it’s not our clothes is people have lust issue

I heard nalgas and subscribed. I just knew, you were the person I needed to listen to as a latina trying to dress modest.

Modestly...yet your nails...

I really admire people for telling the truth and not being apologetic for other people's views. Dressing in a fleshy manner will always get you sexualised whether in life or onlinr. Not only are men visual and but the type of clothes you wear gives a message about who you are. Designers know exactly what they are doing and many people follow blindly thinking it's "just fashion".

I appreciate your decision, sister
The pathway which you have chosen is the pathway of nature by default by allah, but capitalists use their tactics to manipulate us.
Exactly this why there is a concept of modest dressing in islam and hijab for women as they are very precious.

But invaders/ capitalists use this concept and project negative side of dressing modest, and symbolizes it as signs of oppression, Injustice blah blah blah.

Thank you very much for speaking up the truth.✨️

W's for all the women that dress modestly. Well now that's decency and dignity of real women

I wear big shirts 👚

Ever since I was young I never cared about other people and I only wore clothes i liked. How blessed I am.

Skin tight clothing is not modest. Try reading 1 Peter 3:3, 4, as well as 1 Tim 2:9, 10 and
Proverbs 31
1The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry(*tapestries are loose flowing fabrics*); her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Been looking everywhere for a woman who thinks like you. So rare these days

I'm a tom boy and I struggle with whether I want to wear giant band tees, sweatshirts, flannels which is my comfort zone but I don't feel very pretty in it and would like to appear more feminine and classy sometimes but I feel awkward and not like myself when I try. Any advice?

I actually stop following you because of your overwhelming sexy content because i was feeling the same way and it go weird for me once i was engaged and married i wasnt able to releate to you. I didnt want to disrespect my husband. Ive noticed that all woman go thru these shifts because of what we display.

MODEST DRESSING IS FAR MORE ATTRACTIVE TO ME A HOT BLOODED MAN YOU COULD SAY !! I DON'T FIND THINGS HANGING OUT ATTRACTIVE
MORE LIKE HOW MUCH TO BANG YOU! LOL

I connected with this video soo much

I love how real you are...im currently learning this now...its slightly frustrating lol but im sticking it out

John chapter 3verse 16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

I can relate to this so much, because of gym my body changed and i did not feel well in crop tops, thight jeans etc. felt like I was showing too much and it did not look good on me even known my physique is what i want.. I always thought an elegant, classy, modest woman looks the best... it is merely that social media potraits it this well like it is normal to show all of your skin wear pretty much noting

May our creator guide us to dignity and modesty.

I love the Korean fashion!

Thanks for this girl!

@abanpreach please react to this video!!

Thanks for sharing. It's getting harder and harder to swim against the tide of the sexualization of women and girls.

It would be nice if our society didn't sexualize womens bodies but thats not the reality. We have to deal with the reality, not what we think the world should be. The reality is when you dress modestly people treat you with respect and honor. Even in relationships men honestly treat you based on the way you present yourself. I got with my ex before I started dressing modestly and even after I changed how I dress and present myself he still only thought of me as very sexual. He thought my change in character was for attention and not sincere. Meanwhile, everyone else around me or new in my life treated me with sooo much respect and dignity. That's one reason why he's my ex and I'm married to someone else.

What a great video and message. I agree with the ideas you mentioned although I still crave a little bit of that attention (I’m 27). But I’m getting sick of that part of me, this video helps a lot to improve that more mature approach

I think your beautiful!

When I watch these videos, my love for Thanos increases each day.

Hahahahah

It is intended by God for a women to dress modest for her honor and protection. You don’t want men to lust after you instead of actually respect you.people are inherently judgmental so the way you present yourself matters.
