Lately I've been thinking about body image and how I should be perceiving myself as a Muslim woman.
For as long as I can remember, I've struggled with my weight and finding clothes that are modest and fitting, and I know we all grew up comparing ourselves to other girls and maybe even actresses and models that appeared in advertisements and on television. I also grew up in a time when there was no such thing as "plus size clothing" or "modest clothing". The Western clothing brands we had didn't offer a wide range of sizes and lengths for the Muslim girl who maybe doesn't exactly want to wear skintight jeans or spaghetti straps.
As I grew up with my eyes glued to the media, and with less-than-kind comments about my body really hitting it home that I was gross and unacceptable, and then with the multiple failed diets I went on from the age of 11 or 12, things started to look hopeless for me. So I did what girls on the internet were doing: not eat at all.
Obviously, that didn't work. The act itself only lasted for a few weeks at a time, with my weight dropping then skyrocketing when I couldn't do it anymore.
But the mental impact of all these years piled up is something I'm still struggling with as an adult.
Now, in my twenties, I'm trying to remind myself how a Muslim should treat his/her body. I'm trying to remind myself of all the Hadiths we learned about how, when, and how much a Muslim should eat. How a Muslim doesn't dress to show off certain "assets" and hide "flaws" in their body, but simply to be modest and humble. How every part of our body is going to speak on the Day of Judgement. How we don't live to eat but eat to live. How our bodies don't belong to us and we'll be asked what we did with them.
I'm trying to remind myself that there's more to my body than how it looks. That I should be more concerned with keeping it healthy because it was entrusted to me by Allah, rather than abusing it and making it ill.
This life is a test, and for me, my body and my health are a test too.
