A woman's decision to don or remove hijab is nobody's business. If you're applauding Halima Aden for her choice to renounce aspects of her career then respect women who decide to do otherwise. Selective empathy- praising one, shaming the other- exposes self-righteous sanctimony.

Be wary of claiming that Halima has 'seen the light' and how you pray that your non-hijabi friends follow suit. Spare us the condescension.
Also, claiming that we all have a 'hijab journey' is painfully cringe, undermines lived reality of so many women who don't wear headscarf.

I admire Halima and respect her choice to express HERSELF no matter how she decides to wrap her hijab..she will always be my sister in faith InshAllah. Same for many women who have removed her headscarf for whatever reason (that's not our concern).
What's important is choice.

A woman's body, her being is not an arena for society to start discussing what's halal and haram. Islam preaches that we encourage each other towards goodness. What goodness do you get from dragging a sister, her dignity in public? Shaming her? Where is the goodness?

For centuries society has fixated on what women wear. Through wars, famines, plagues and hurricanes, we have OBSESSED over the layers of clothes she adorns her frame. That is the reason for our downfall.
Why not focus on 'enjoining in good' somewhere other than a woman's body?

So for goodness' sake get off your high horse and occupy your time with something 'good'. We're in the middle of pandemic in case you need a reminder.
Go enjoin in good by helping your brethren who are suffering, in need.
Our world is bigger than Halima or Dina or Ameena's hijab.
