It's World Hijab Day! 🧕✨ It was founded by Nazma Khan in 2013 to honor the women who choose to wear the hijab and to provide an opportunity for women of all backgrounds and faiths to understand the experience of wearing it. It's a day to put aside our preconceptions and biases and to learn more about the experiences of those who choose to wear the hijab. The hijab is not just a piece of clothing, it's a symbol of self-expression, identity, and empowerment. It's important to remember that behind every hijab, there's a woman with her own unique story and experiences! #Muslim #MVSLIM #WorldHijabDay #Hijab
