Well, I am an convert from Christianity til islam, alhamdulilah
I do not wear hijab, because I am afraid how peolpe will act, particularly my family..!!! So what can I do, to get the courage?? My husband (who also is muslim from Lebanon, alhamdulilah) says that inshallah I will get the courage one day, and he will support me 100%, alhamdulilah... but can you understand me, that I am afraid that I will "lose myself" ..that one day I will wake up in the morning and dont recognize myself. I LOVE islam, and I want to be a good muslim I am very serious about islam, så I will not take the hijab on one day, and the next day i wont, I want to be safe with my choice..!!
Salam Aleikum from Trine. I hope you all can understand my english
I am agonising about this isuue too. I am sorry to admit I don't see myself wearing it any time soon. I only put it (actually cover my head with a shawl) for prayer. I would stand out on the streets and at my work and attract so much attention. Whom am I fooling? There's no way I can put it on and go to work. Just no way. I will never be able to do it.
I know one day I can wear scarf or a shawl, when I go out, visit my friends etc. The loosely draped one. But real hijab, the one with under cap...It just scares me how much people will be looking at me all the time. The whole idea of covering is to be modest and not to attract attention, and it will be completely opposite, I will be standing out like only stork among hundreds of chicken. Can you imagine you go to the mall and walk down the street and EVERYBODY is looking at you and thinking something?
And I am sorry I am sorry I am sorry but I can't think about it - I look so ugly in it. I know I shouldn't be thinking this way and shouldn't even want be attractive for strangers, but how I can help stop thinking it? I look just awful. Like a frog.
Please don't take me wrong. I am trying to change as much as I can. Gave away my skirts and shorts adn tight clothes, long sleeves and long skirts or pants for summer (which is really hard to find here too)
but sis at the end of the day who are you attracting? and when you stand up to your lord what are you going to say? are you going to say i can't stand it and i look ugly in it?
alright i've started to wear it now even tho i do wear jeans and stuff but atleast i fear my lord and at least i'm covering ma self...
at the end of the day remember your going to stand up towards ur lord!
sis i'm sorry if i'm being to harsh but it's true most of you forget that god the one is looking at you and can see you...
sis i'm really really really really sorry if i've said sumet bad my intention is NOT to make you upset or to offend you k
sista i have converted two years ago and am practising islam and becuming a gud muzlim i know where your coming from cause it's hard to explain to your family when they are NOT asians/converted. like same here my mum is a christian whereas i've converted but i'm just praying all the time to god that he the one leads me family to the right path and also me that's all i worri about sis. i know it's hard to where a scarf but i do wear it well i've started to wear it recently,there for at times i do wana take it off and i do tho to be honest but i be brave and always pray to god that he leads me to thre right path that's all i care about me religion....and i ONLY fear the one lord and no one else!
i hope you understand what i mean
take care
i really respect your lingo here, easily understood everyword
peace be upon u sis ...

Salam Aleikum
Salam sister.
And NO dont do that lol
I suggest you edit the message because you never know who will see this thread. I mean it is best to be safe.
Regarding your Hijab, I think if you feel you are strong enough in iman then you should try to wear it. It is good that you are wearing it at home at least so you can get use to it a little. But remember that we never know when our last day will come so the sooner the better. If you can at least cover everything else according to Islam then it would be a good start.
Peace.
Well i want to show the world that i am a muslim, but it is hard, there are so many things! hope you understand!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
I think it is so easy to them who believes and so heard to them whose belief is not complete ! May Allah grant you the will to overcome the false fear in your mind !
Salam sister.
