And from the depth of this dark night...
And from the depth of this dark night, Which is nearing the dawn, From beyond the cries of the deprived, the hungry and those in debt, From beyond the chains fastened round the feet of the seekers of truth, Of course, and also from the depth of history, one thousand and four hundred years ago, From the depth of the long night which had brought the whole world under the cover of its darkness, You have linked (the people) with God.
And now that you have accepted Islam as a system of life and an Ideology, Also accept hijab, And under its vitalizing dress recreate yourself and get a new life. With this bold negation have no fears. What do you possess which you are afraid to lose, Except a personality crushed under the load of thousands of years of contempt and chains which have hindered your movement, your journey, your flight to new heights? It's nothing! It's nothing!
The legacy of this history made of rogues, The corrupt and cruel regimes of two thousand and five hundred years with autocratic and bloodthirsty leaders and enslaving economic systems, And thousands Of years of religious despotism swayed by the traders of faith, How all these elements have changed you, your sex quality, your culture, your feminine character and your capacity to work! You are nothing ! Your are nothing!
But a woman who adds passion to bed, A doll which through its characteristics weakens determination, A commodity found in abundance in the private chambers of rulers and the common street harems, A domestic prisoner who from morn till night is put to drudgery in the isolated portions of the house and busies herself toiling, A slave who in lieu of minimum wages by her labour brings maximum profits to the landlords and mill-owners, Or rots in the expanse of the bureaucratic establishments, And lastly in every institution of a decadent society, in one form or the other, is despised and exploited.
Of course, this is what has been imposed on you. The dirty culture they have framed for you, The income they have fixed for you, As if throughout the history all its autocrats and rogues, with hundreds of sabres drawn, have made you their target. Come and seek shelter in Islam and be safe, be strong, be armed. With what ? With its laws, its universal outlook, its anthropology. Yes, with Islam in toto, including indeed, its hijab system.
Now that you have accepted Islam, also accept its dress, and throw away this cultural yoke of female exploitation imposed on you. Which dress ?
