I live in the US right now, but have spent time several months living in Kuwait with my husband’s family.

After converting to Islam in 1995, I had trouble wearing hijabs, because they would slip down and show the front of my hair. So during my search I found a two piece hajab, one that pulls your hair back tight and a second part that covers the rest of your hair. This is the type of hijab that I sell at my e-bay store at: http://stores.ebay.com/Aminahs-Hijabs Please take a look at it.

A Short story about:
My fight to wear a hijab after becoming Muslim:

I didn't wear a hijab when I first became Muslim, because I didn't feel comfortable. In fact I was told by my boss at the time if I came in with a hijab on she would fire me. After chatting on the internet I was told that if she fired me, that he would help me sue them.

The next day, I went to work with a hijab on and was told I was fired by the store Manager, the Asst. Manager was standing there and before the Store Manager could say another word she said "Don't worry you aren't fire." I guess the Asst Store Manager knew what would have happen if I was fired. After that day they didn't say another word about me wearing a hijab, also I have worn a hijab since that day.

Please let me know if you are wearing a hijab.

If you are wearing a hijab, not why?

If so what kind is your favorite?

Salam sis!

Welcome! I wear the hijab, however, my story is nothing close to as inspiring as your story was. I starting wearing the hijab in grade three b/c I went to Islamic school and it was must. After leaving Islamic school I took it off b/c I didn't really understand why I was covering my head. I finally got my knowledge together and permanently wore the hijab from the beginning of high school to this day.

Your story is amazing! You seem like an amazingly strong woman, I can only imagine how different it might have felt to take a step in the right direction. Alhanduillah it is good to see that hijabis are not fully extinct species. Have fun inshAllah

Welcome sister!

And don't ever worry about any of these threats about being fired for wearing hijaab - that's a grounds for an unfair dismissal tribunal if ever I've seen one.

Assalamu alaikum sisters.

Yeah I wear the hijab. I started wearing abaya a few months ago as well. I love it. But I'm still at school and sometimes people take the mick. It's okay when they are non-muslims but when my muslim friend misinterpret the hijab I really feel bad.-Not about me wearing it, but about them noy wearing it.
