I dont know, i hope you all will be understanding and just give me some help on what i should do :embarrass
Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, my sister don't worry about what the world says or how it percieves you because it is not between them and you and it never was. For it is ONLY between you and Allah and your reward is with Allah and it is ONLY for him are you wearing it!
...Shaythan does'nt want you to wear hijaab and he thinks you would look beautiful without it but Allah wants you to wear hijaab and thinks you look beautiful with it so who will you want to impress?
...any man that wants you without hijaab is the worst kind of partner a women can have.
...surely women are jewels and the beauty of those jewels are only fgor the spouse to see and admire. Then will you not want to marry a person who wants you to conceal your beauty for the pleasure of Allah and for himself?
...Those who want to see your destruction don't want you to wear hijaab whereas those who want you saved will want you to wear it so who will you listen to?
...The one who hates you and is your enemy (Shaythan) and would want nothing less than to see you burn for eternity does'nt want you to wear hijaab but...
..The one who has created you and given you life and everything you can see,hear touch and feel has ordered you to wear. Then who should you listen to?
My sister this world is but a few hours and then we will return to Allah! Rememeber that our employer is Allah for it is his ONLY his will whatever job we will get so have FULL hope,reliance,trust and faith in him and ONLY him for he can change the hearts of any person and he does what he wants and is in control of everything and NOTHING is in control of him.
No one can hurt or do anything to you if it is not for the will of Allah for a leaf does not fall without Allah's will.
ONLY Allah opens opportunities and doors for us not employers or people, then will you not ask of Allah to open up doors and opportunities for you? Do you think he will not do what is best for you? Surely we do not know what is best for us but we think we do.
If it does'nt happen then Allah has something better for you.
Your rizq(sustainance) is already written for you and those who chase after this life will only have what is written for them and nothing else but those who chase after the hereafter will have what is written for them and more. Those who thank Allah and are appreciative will have even more. For Allah loves those who are thankful and appreciative.
So do things the right way and supplicate to him sincerely and whatever is best for you will happen inshallah!
So let us hold our heads up high and be proud of who we are and our identity so that others can look and be inspired to look into Islam aswell so that Allah may open their hearts to the truth!
Be proud of your identity as a Muslimah for do you want to look like a non Muslim women? Are you ashamed that we as Muslims are the chosen ones? Be proud and hold the banner of Islam where ever you go. Those who want you to let go of the banner of Islam let go of them from your life for they are not true friends to you and remember the true friend is the one who will take you towards Paradise and the bad friend is the one who will lead you towards destruction so which friend will you choose?
Disregard these fakes and find true Muslimah's who will take you towards Jannah and make you proud to be a Muslimah with hijaab. Remember hijaab is not just a cloth for it is internal aswell as external modesty.
So have full hope, trust, faith and reliance upon Allah.
Here is a short poem i found from a new Muslimah who wanted to express how proud she was wearing the hijaab:
As i get ready to go into the outside world
I look in the mirror
What do i see?
My beauty
Then i slip on the hijab
why?
I cover my outer beauty
So you take a look at my inner beauty
I step into the cruel and unjust society
of this
"free" country
i look at avoiding eyes and stares
i hear whispering from every side
i think to myself
"i am not here to please everyone"
i am here to please Allah
then i hold my head with the hijab high
Allah has chosen this jihad for me to overcome
yes this is my jihad
