I believe that hijab doesn't define the righteousness, purity or Taqwa of someone. I believe that many women who don't wear hijab are more close to Allah and are more pious than many those who wear hijab. I used to enforce people into wearing hijab and covering their bodies, I still do that but not with that intensity. But then I felt that change is not a normal thing for a human, there are many things in Islam which took me a long time to follow, there are many things asked by Islam but I am not able to follow them. I understand now that embracing the change in the adulthood is very difficult, unless you have some great spiritual energy and a constant motivation, still we should keep struggling.
But this doesn't mean that I encourage anyone to not wear hijab, I actually admire those women who sacrifice fashion and modernity for their Lord, I am a great spiritual fan of them. But I ask society to inspire people instead of judging them. Criticism is not always a friendly preacher. We should first judge ourselves and then think of a way to aspire others. Encourage the good, discourage the bad. May Allah guide us all, not just others, but me too. Peace!
