‘Hijabek Taj’, new song on World Hijab Day

4-2-2019

On the World Hijab Day which falls on February 1st of every year, and in response to a recent campaign calling for the removal of the veil, the Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi, released a video clip promoting her new song, ‘Hijabek Taj’ via YouTube, accompanied by a number of girls. Hijazi announced the news through her Instagram account: “There was controversy over whether wearing the headscarf is really mandatory by the Koran or not, what do you think?” On the World Hijab Day, Hijazi went on to say, I present the song, ‘Hijabek Taj’… hoping this will positively impact every woman, veiled, unveiled or hesitant to veil. Through her song, the Lebanese singer wanted to say that the hijab is not a hindrance for women, stressing that religion means being ethical and act as such; it is not just a covering of the head, as she put it.
