I wore it properly, like Jilbab & Hijab when I started college. It was shocking to my non-Muslim friends, so badly that they couldn't take it and went their own way. Bothered? Nahhhh.. I learnt theirs fools out there that judge you because of a cloth you got wrapped around you & I felt that tha more hijaabis/jilbaabis that I have now come to know and love have giving me loads of support and strenght. Having said all that, my mentality in school was somewhat different to know, not to extreme lenghths buh you know... & I kind of always chilled with non-Muslims who obviously did not understand me at all. Oh well, life goes on =P.
I discovered tha beauty of it for myself & I wouldn't go back and change anything.

Yes, I wear the hijab Alhamdulilah.

I began wearing it the first dayof the seventh grade, and I'm now in first year university.

Although there have been many bumps on the road since then, I wouldn't have ever decided not to wear it, had I been given the chance to change anything in my life.

I feel like it give me an identity, without it I'd just look like every other girl.

:wa:
 
I started wearing the hijab when I was 12 years old. I mostly wore it because my mom told me to. I also got some of my close friends to wear it. But they all took it off in high school. But I never had the guts to take it off permanently even thought I wore it on and off. When I was 16 I started to wear it full time but still with no meaning. I always felt bad when I would take it off in some place. But Alhumduillah now Iv been wearing it with meaning and cant imagine me going anywhere without it. I will feel incomplete.
 
:sl: i wear jibaab and hijab and when im in the company of men then i wear niqaab it all depends on where im going. when im going shopping or whatever and i feel that there is alot of men around or i am attracting attention i pin my scarf around my face Alhamduliah i have gotton in to that habit now..
 
:sl:

I wear hijab alhamdulillah :D Would love to wear niqaab...I think it's cool mashaAllah. I wear my abaya from time to time. I have to hear it from my mom about it :heated:

It's not fun. If I'm not I replace it wiv long skirts...

Anyways I love it walhamdulillah :)
 
Wa Alikum Assalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh

Yes, the full one (from head to toes) and I look exactly like this:

Alhamdulilah, I am happy with it and i think I first wore niqaab when I was in 4th or 5th grade by my own free will and decision; even my father asked me if I am sure and I said that I am Alhamdulilah.

I love the way I wear my hijab and won't give up any part of it in'shaa Allah till death no matter what.
 
Yep I wear Hijab and I just love it. I love everything about it and the thought of ever having to give it up makes me cry. I have been in situations where I've had to choose between my hijab and my livelihood or my hijab and my family... and I just cannot give up my hijab. end of.

I began wearing it for a year before I took my shahada actually because Mary, mother of Isa (As) wore it. When I was 15 I wanted to be a nun, so at the age of 18 after being intorduced to the Idea of Islam, The hijab was just natural and I was super excited about it. I didn't dawn on me that I could have worn it before, I thought only women like nuns were good enough to wear it lol. After my shahada I wore niqab for a year or so, then transitioned back to hijab and abaya , then I did the long skirts with tunics thing and headscarf, then went back to abaya and scarf, as this is the most comfortable and worry free method for me. What I have found though is that, it isn't the cloth that matters, it's the way one carries themselves. I have known sisters who have to be "under cover muslims" as i like to call them lol who have to hide from family for a time. They wore their hair tied in a bun, no make up and loose clothing to hide their curves, their attitude was always friendly, kind, generous and helpful. That's what hijab is about imo because that is what is suppose to single out Muslims.
Also the focus shouldn't be so much on the scarf, I see too many hijabs (the scarf part) and skinny jeans ^o) now a days. Fleh.

Anyway, for those sisters who are wanting to wear it but for X reason cannot. Don't let anyone make you feel inferior. Life isn't about all or nothings.Baby steps. Hijab is flexible also, for example when I go to the Masjid on fridays and I know alot of men will be around (even though we are segregated, they are in the parking lot after Jumah) I wear my niqab. When I go out with my family, since they have a difficult time with it, I tie my scarf back , spanish style as this makes them more comfortable. Islam is beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and so easy. As you Imaan increases and as you learn more, you will learn to love your hijab and soon enough it will be natural to you, insha Allah.

:embarrass the OP said to share stories no?

I know this thread is old, but since cOsMiCiNtUiTiOn revived it I wanted to ask you ladies a quick question. What do you guys (honestly) think of other women who don't wear hijab, or who don't dress according to your idea of modesty?

Actually sister Amat Allah revived it :)

Honestly? None of us have room to judge. That's how I feel about all of this. I do love to see women being modest and understanding their worth, I like to see them treat themselves with respect. It does make me sad to see women without hijab, but I cannot think bad of them because some of those women are very kind and can be of better character than those who cover from head to toe. We are all in different places of imaan, and imaan fluctuates. Why not help them learn instead of judging them, know what I mean? :) Lead by example, that's what I think.

and what you are thinking is the right thinking my sweetheart...we must never prejudge those whom we don't know cause Allah knows whats in the hearts of others and yes, i do too love them to be modest and covered but whats in ma hand but to make duaa for them to be guided the right way and if i were in their place then I would want others to pray for me instead of cursing me or calling me names... Alhamdulilah for Allah's guidance . may Allah guide us all, forgive us and keep us guided always to Him Ameeeen
 
:sl:

I am a hijab wearer and I love it..except when I have on glasses lol. It was my second step to Islam the first time I wore it I was at peace. "My sister hates it she feels that when I'm all covered up Sloppy and slouchy but i told her you love me and I am still me so you will be okay." I never want to take it off.:muslimah:
 
I wear hijab - I have worn some kind of headscarf since shortly after I reverted but as time has gone on I have been gradually improving it alhamdulilah. Now I wear a large scarf in a similar style to khimar. I'd like to wear the niqab at some point but somehow I don't quite feel ready - maybe I need to talk more with sisters who wear niqab and ask them some questions inshaAllah.

When I see sisters who don't wear hijab I don't understand it but I don't judge them. Allah(swt) knows best the good and bad points of each person. I would like to advise some of my friends who don't wear it but I don't know how to mention it in a way that doesn't come across as criticism, or as if I think I'm better than than them, which I don't. Any advice?

I know you're probably looking for a woman's response, but my 2 cents are to just leave it alone for most cases. Chances are the person knows what they're doing, and you telling them will most likely rub them the wrong way. If you must do something, just lead by example without directly bringing it up. I know I'd personally get annoyed if somebody started bothering me about beards or more traditional clothing, so I'd assume it'd be similar for hijab.
 
^ Yeah! I would really feel offended if someone tells me to do something also at times when it is islamic. If the sister knows what she is doing then I completely think that It's her decision to choose what she want to do. Maybe she thinks there is nothing wrong in it or anything. I don't think I would even try to make her understand that we should wear hijab etc because she can think its her freedom of choice. I would accept that her thinking is different from mine.

The thing is, some sisters have directly asked me questions like: 'I'm sick of people criticising me for not wearing hijab. Do you think it matters that I don't wear it?' It's hard to answer that. On one hand, I don't want to annoy them even more and put them off altogether, since it's obvious whatever the other people told them didn't work. On the other hand, I can't tell them that not fulfilling an obligation is ok, just to make them feel better.
