Free Hijab for convert Muslim sisters ?

[Muslim Woman]

:sl:




a convert sis in other forum wants to know how she can get free hijab or discount . If u have any info , pl. post here . InshaAllah I will let her know. JazakAllah Khair

I wonder If there are any ways I could recieve a free hijab?


I am starting Highschool and want to start covering my hair.It seems like a good time to start...Don't wan't to wait 'till college!;) lol. I haven't any money and can't afford to purchase a scarf/scarves...and somehow I need to have some before school starts again...Does anyone know of a website that gives discounts for new muslims? According to my findings..there are no such things...but I did sign up for two different free hijab giveaways(it would be a miracle if I actually won lol) I am in a tough situation. There aren't any muslims in my family so it's annoying trying to keep them unaware that I am studying Islam. But obviously they will know something is up when they see a piece of cloth on my head. la hawla wa la quwwatah illa billa.

You can buy typical scarfs that can be used as hijabs for a very low price at most department stores, like Zellers, Walmart etc. Second hand stores are also likely to have them. If money is a problem offer to do some task (ie lawn cutting, chores around house etc) for a small sum of money. I bought several large scarfs for $10 a piece which work great. Dollar stores also have scarves but these tend to be smaller but for a dollar, they work especially if you are young and have a smaller head than I do. You can always buy two of the same pattern and stitch them together.

At one time http://www.youtube.com/user/iloveelh...ature=g-user-u had a contest for a free prayer outfit at one time. No idea if they will have one again in the future.

Also keep in mind that scarves in general are a fashion accessory that by themselves don't mean Muslim. You can just ask your folks to buy you some to wear around your neck at school or over your hair to keep it dry or from being blown about. Then you can just wrap them to not only cover your hair but neck and bosom as well.

[Insaanah]

:sl:

The headscarf is simply a square piece of fabric, folded diagonally. If there are any fabric shops near where the sister lives, she just needs to go in and ask for a metre and a quarter length of soft cotton fabric (this is normally quite inexpensive), and she can ask them to cut it square for her if necessary. The only thing left would be to hem the raw edges, or to tack them with running stitch, which could be done by hand with needle and thread if the sister doesn't have a sewing machine or doesn't know anyone that has one. Then fold it diagonally and it's ready to wear.

Or, you can wrap long ones around, as mentioned above. It doesn't have to be something that's specially labelled as, or sold as, a hijaab.

I found mine at some thrift stores. They were only a couple of dollars each.

MashaAllah may you be rewarded for your niyyah and amal sis. I was going to suggest that any sister who might have some spares and some experience in posting mail can post it to her.

It might be nice if masjids had hijabs to give away to new muslimahs. Sort of like welcome pack. :)

[Islamskaprinces]

Salam Aleykum Sisters.
I found out about Islam from one of my best friends, and I loved it from the first second. It's a very beautiful religion, and I am proud to say that I have converted to Islam. Elhamdulilah. My friend also taught me much about covering ones-self, and I wish to in the near future. I would love to cover myself before I start college. I am starting college in about a month. But, sadly, I'm on quite a tight budget and cannot afford to purchase Hijabs for myself. If anyone would please help me somehow in the name of Allah. I would be very, very, very grateful if I could at least get a couple of hijabs. I would also LOVE to start praying to Allah, thanking him for everything He has blessed me with, but My friend told me that I would need a Jilbab. If someone would please send me at least one of those, I would be very grateful. Please sisters, help a loving sister in need, and Allah Bless You!!!!

[Endymion]

:welcome: to Islam and to Islamic Board,sister :statisfie

And when you say I would have to mail her my address, does that mean E-mail or post mail?
Thank You So Much, May Allah S.W.T Bless You and All Muslims InshaAllah.

[Endymion]

She can go to Goodwill or Salvation Army and buy a large square scarf and fold it into a triangle to cover her hair.
Or if that doesn't work she can buy a large square piece of fabric and cover her hair that way.
hijabs are usually so cheap.

If she has a sewing machine she can sew herself some hijabs.

Or she can go to her local masjed and ask sister if they can spare any for her and I am sure she will get loads of them.

[NajaMuhammad]

As salaam Alaikem, my name is Naja Muhammad I am a new shahadah however I have been studying Islam since I was in high school. I am a single mother of two wonderful boys who I love and adore and give thanks to Allah every day for them. I am reaching out to anyone that can help me to become a better Muslim because I Have no family or friend support in my choice to become a Muslim. If anyone can tell me home I might can get help with getting used or dry rotten Abayas size XL and and kimars it would truly be great I am not picky and if it anything anyone can donate to me I will greatly thank you. As I stated earlier I am a young single mother and due to my health I am on disabilities because my asthma is uncontrollable at this time however I do believe Allah will one day cure my Health but due to that it leaves me with very limited funding that prevents me from being able to get any of my garments Or kimars, I pray to Allah that someone on here sees that I am being very sincere and is
really reaching out to my Muslim family to help me to be a better Muslim. I am not able to wear any of the over garments or kimars due to the fact that I can not afford them and as I stated earlier I have no family or friend support on my choice to become a Muslim so asking the for help is out the question however my misfortune do not stop me from offering salat, or serving Allah as I should, I often go to the library to get my books to continue my studies in Islam I hope to one day be able to go to the Masjid and to able to help someone else in the near future, inshallah.

Your's truly
Naja Muhammad

[pinkflower]

Could someone help me out too? I am in need of hijabs and abayas :( I am a new revert and I just want to please Allah the best I can. :(

If not I understand.

[firemedic]

salaam from socal. I am also new convert and just got off the streets into a homless shelter. I am also in need of hijab and abaya or the indian dresses I saw a sister surfing in. I love my new found faith and found a masjid 50 miles away and will walk to it to say friday prayers. I am a American size 22ish and pray blessing for all on here. been doing my prayers at the beach under the peir I use to live at. the shelter is helping me get back on my feet after I was disabled in a wreck at work.

[Islamskaprinces]

Sisters, is there any one who may help me in the name of Allah?
Alhamdulilah I was sent some clothes from some sisters, but they are now starting to wear out from so much use and machine washing...

[Allah'sMusician]

Hi, I just converted today! Unfortunately, I have to keep it a secret from my family as they are anti-Muslim's. I am in need of a hijab to wear for prayers. I cannot go out and buy one as my parents would find out and be very angry and possibly kill me, and I can't go to a masjid for the same reason. If anyone has a spare hijab, underscarf, anything would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and may Allah bless all of you!

Hello to all. I am new to Islam. I am very happy to finally have taken my shahada. I would very much like to wear the hijab. But I do not have the means to buy them for myself. I have lost my home and currently am living with my sister. Any help in being able to acquire an English Quran and hijab maybe even abaya would be amazing.

[Muslim Woman]

Salaam sis

welcome to Islam. please contact your local mosque and see if they can help you. Also try to join Muslims sis groups. May Allah bless you

[sister herb]

You can order Islamic books for free. I have done it few times too.

Like for example: http://www.islamicbooks4free.com/

If you can´t get help from the local mosque or if there isn´t any, let us know. Maybe some kind sister can send you hijab (this had happened sometimes). :statisfie

[sister herb]

Also, making hijab by yourself it quite easy. You only need enough big piece of suitable fabric.
