I have had hijab since four months. I took it on two weeks before I told my parents about my conversion because since I had moved to another city and I was going to do practice in my education, I felt that I could take on the hijab because nobody would know me where I was going so I could get used to the hijab in peace. In the start I had beautiful hijabs in pink and stuff, but I always kept them big and covering because I had never liked those small not well covering hijabs. I loved the hijab and I felt I could never take it off again. After the first week when I was going home to my parents I took it off though because still I wasn't ready to confront them, but after the second week I felt I just couldn't take it off. The feeling for the hijab was too strong. And after that I haven't ever taken my hijab off and I have went from normal hijab to khimar now and I love that too. InshaAllah I will never take it off.
I don.t wear hijab even I want it so much. I am thinking that still I am not prepaired for it. Even I tried many times at home to wear it, to see how look I am feeling, I am not prepaired to go out on the streets. But I feel that very soon I.ll do it with all my heart. :smile:
Aslaamu alaaykum...
yes i wear Hijab Alhamdulilah.., i feel proud of it too ..
My story is kind of geeky so hope i dont bore you to sleep ...I firstly wore the Hijab when i was 16 to College for the morning, nobody forced me, but i really had this wish to please Allaah and wore it, but unfortunately i took it off, i failed i guess..Well not for long
When i became 17, i was at college, and it was also Ramadhan, so i had some free periods i went home to read my salaah because i had enough time to go home and take my time ...And i read i tink it was Salatul Zohr..when i finished it , it was time to go back to college, but i didnt want to take my Hijab off, and since the start of Ramadhan in those days for some reason i felt like i really need to cover my hair this urge SubhanAllaah this will..so i didnt take it off, Inside i felt if i do this im going to benefit my self and to Please Allaah by benefiting my self, i kept it on all the way to college Alhamdulilah and untill college ended and it was time to come home , i was soooo proud, I was sooo thankful to Allaah he helped me, he made it easy for me due to the salah i prayed and it was ramadhan, and thats what makes me thank Allah more because it was the blessed month of Ramadhan, and it was Jummah too..SubhanaAllaah.
Since the start of that Ramadhan i felt like something was missing everytime i went outside without my Hijab, i didnt like my hair being shown for some reason SubhanaAllaah, i had been wanting to wear the Hijab for a year since the age of 15 but coudlnt seem to do it i found it a struggle SubhanaAllaah..But this day i am soo proud to be a hijabi ALhamdulilah its changed me and my life, and everything..and i hope you liked my geeky story lol and that i didnt bore you InshaAllaah..i maybe missed some bits out sorry, and i hope it all made sense
All i can say from this Experience is that, if you ask Allaah to make it easier for you, he will doo, you need to have patience, because having patience usually makes A LOT of things simple and much much better InshaAllaah..
if i have said anything bad forgive me

I do wear hijab.
The 1st time I wore it outside was 2 weeks after I said my Sharada to myself. I wore it to college. I was really nervious but I knew deep down it was the right thing to do. I wore it for just over 2 months before turning away from Islam for a young man and my family wanted me back to Christainty. Over the last 2 years I have tryed to put it on but everyone around me has stopped me. Last Ramadan, after I moved house and left the young man, I started to follow Islam again and stared to wear the hijab again. When my parents saw me with it on they knew instaly that I had gone back to Islam. I don't care what they think anymore and now I can't imagen without me wearing it anymore. I love hijab and I wear it with pride.
O Allah, I seek help from you. I seek your forgiveness. I seek your guidance. I believe in you.
I don't wear Hijab, even though I would like to.
1. Because my parents don't know i've converted and I don't think they'd be to happy
2. There isn't a large muslim community here, it would draw unwanted attention.
Inshallah, once I move from here, I know I will start wearing it.

Assalamu alaykum,
My parents didn't know I converted either, and in my village back home I am the only Muslim among some nazi groups. Still I wear hijab and I would never take it off for my parents' sake or being afraid of evil people. Everything works inshaAllah, you just need to find the strength (which for me took 7 months to do!).
I wear hijab. I've worn it since I was in the third grade (those one piece hijabs ). I'm in high school now. I love the hijab, it's my personal shield. =)
I feel so weird and naked without a hijab lol i cnt live with out it!
I feel the exact same way. lol
Lately I've been improving on my hijab. I used to wear a long sleeve shirt and a skirt. Now I wear an abayah. I can't seem to go back to what I used to wear before even though there wasn't anything really wrong with it. I find the abayah more modest and I feel more safe with it alhamdulillah.

My parents do know I'm muslim and are not bothered with me wear hijab.
I live in a town where there are only about 100 muslims so I don't really see them. I have to travel to a bigger town, down the coast from my town to see muslims and go to the mosque. I'm proud to be a muslim and I don't care what people think.

I wore the hijab when i was about 10 years old every time we went to the beach id cover below my belly hole up to the chapped up knees...but sometimes the importance of this hijab was not stressed upon which is a shame

I've worn it since I was twelve AlhamdulillAh. Was never forced and never would be, AlhamdulillAh once more. I had positive influences around me, and never felt the need or desire to take it off. I knew why I put it on when I was a kid, but I didn't know as much as I do now. The first day I wore it, I think it was the first day of high school. It was a bit strange for my friends who were with me when I was younger (they weren't muslims), but they accepted it and didn't mind it at all. Soon after, I made muslim friends who are still my friends now; we would helped each other out while growing up and support each other
I now fully understand the principles behind wearing it and AlhamdulillAh have explained them numerous times to anyone who asks me about it.
I started wearing hijab in elementary school and was motivated to do so by my friend/ neighbour. She was two years older than me and we agreed to start wearing it at the same time- kind of to support each other as we were together most of the time [really helps]. Two years after I had been wearing the hijab, my family and I moved to a city where Muslims were rare. Wearing the hijab became harder on me [I was 10/ still in elementary] and often, people assumed I had cancer . The three years I've lived in that non-multicultural city were the hardest for me but Alhamdullillah, they only made me stronger

A/Aleykum,,
Alhamdulillah I have worn my hijab ever since I was eight. At first I didnt get why, you know being so young and everything, but I eventually got used to it. I got bullied at school for wearing it, for being a muslim but I stuck through it because it's better looking good in the sight of Allah than the sight of the society. Obviously in some cases you have to be ok in the society but better in the sight of Allah. When I wear my hijab I don't really feel comfortable going out without it on. I might get firty looks from other people or snide comments but I know that I love my religion and love what I wear I don't really care what they think. My cousin doesn't wear a hijab because she's popular in school and thinks that her reputation might be jeapordised. But me and some others have tried to convince her but she doesn't want to change.
I don't wear Hijaab. Just can't get myself to do it...
But I do wear a Topee. Kufi. Islamic Hat. whatever you call it.
In all honesty, it doesn't really stand out. People wear bull rings. That's a piercing in your nose, making yourself look like a bull. Allahu alam why people like it. Then there are people who wear tattoos, piercings, others wear beanies, etc.
A Kufi sort of mixes in. But I suppose my beard gives my Muslim identity. There's a book called "Hallmark of Islam", and it refers to the beard.
