Khaberni - A state of controversy surrounded Moroccan Jalila after her appearance in a hijab at the beginning of the new year, prompting her to break her silence and clarify the reality of her stance on the criticisms.
The Moroccan blogger Jalila sparked a wide wave of controversy on social media after she posted a picture of herself wearing a hijab coinciding with the beginning of the new year, affirming that she wanted to welcome it with a calmer spirit and closer to God.
The image was met with significant interaction from followers, where opinions were divided between those supporting her step as a personal experience, and others who criticized her sudden appearance in a hijab.
This controversy led Jalila to respond via the stories feature on her official Instagram account.
Jalila explained that wearing the hijab was not an announcement of permanent commitment, but a personal decision reflecting her desire for a different start to the new year, away from pressures and attempts to please others.
She confirmed that this step was born from a temporary inner conviction and was not a message of show or controversy.
She emphasized that the attack she suffered did not change her intention, considering that personal decisions should not be doubted or diminished, especially when they are motivated by a spiritual and positive drive.
She added that she was surprised that social media sites easily accept bold appearances and nightlife, but attack any religious or spiritual content, noting that a number of her followers interacted positively with her step and considered it inspiring.
At the end of her talk, Jalila asked her audience to pray for her guidance, expressing her hope that the day will come when she will wear the hijab out of full conviction, affirming that what she did was just the beginning of a year she wanted to welcome "in a different way".
On another note, Jalila reiterated that her relationship with the artist Tamer Hosny had ended years ago, denying any possibility of its return, and emphasizing that she had made her name through social media since 2018 with continuous personal effort.
