Ruqayyah… and the distance that brought her closer to herself

Ruqayyah was always sociable. She loved people, loved going out, and loved life. But at one point, she felt lost in the crowd. Every day a different look, every day a new style, every day a new attempt to keep up with what was happening around her.

But deep down, she always longed for Islamic clothing.

Not because it was supposed to be, but because it comforted her. Because it gave her a sense of privacy and a soothing beauty that didn’t need explaining itself.

She was afraid to start, because “What would people say?” “This isn’t how you look!” “Why have you changed?”

But one day, Ruqayyah traveled with her friends to a quiet place in the mountains. There was no social media, no pressure, just peace, tranquility, and time for herself.

There, she put on her old Islamic clothing, which she had kept for years, and walked among the trees.

And she cried.

Not because of the clothes or the looks.

But because she finally found herself as she is… without filters.

She returned from her trip and wrote the first word in her diary: “I want to start being myself.”

From there, she began searching for elegant, Islamic clothing that reflected her spirit… until she found a “Oswa”

Earthy colors, calm styles, comfortable cuts… that didn’t shout, but spoke.

She asked for a set: wide, olive-colored anklets and a flared skirt made of royal Turkish fabric, light and wrinkle-free.

As soon as she put it on, she looked at herself and said, “I am beautiful… just like this.”

Why is this story important?

Because in the midst of running, you can find yourself calming down. You can remember that comfort isn’t weakness, and that Islamic clothing isn’t a prison… it’s a hug.

“Oswa” helps you start the journey from the inside, and wear something that resembles you, not something that hides you.
