Salaamu Alaikum.

Today was my first day wearing hijab alhumdulillah. I have been debating about it for quite awhile and I finally decided to just do it for Allah. That thought made the debate be over.

I felt good and peaceful today alhumdulillah.
I also had some thoughts also as far as if I can really keep this up.. (Just being completely honest). Of course I want to. I just don't know a whole lot of Muslim people where I live. Less than 5. imsad

I believe Shaytan has been messing with me, now that I am trying to make an effort to get closer to Allah and better in my deen.
One big concern I have is getting a job. That is something that I MUST do after completing college insha'Allah and I am worried that I may be discriminated against. Honestly that was one thing that was holding me back when I was deciding on whether I should wear hijab or not. I decided that it is better to obey Allah and just do my best in trying to pursue a job. I still have some worries about that though.
Are there any encouraging articles relating to this?

JazakAllahu khayrun.
 
We all are encouraging you. I admit the step you have taken is not easy. May Allah keep you steady in your decision. The more you obey Allah, the more Shaytan will be giving you trouble this way or other and more the reward will be added in your account to be granted in hearafter.

As someone not yet Muslim I applaude your stand for faith. I acknowledge your fear of discrimination. I believe God guides us and protects us. So may he strengthen you in this time of worry.

CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!! It is such a big step to wear hijab. I remember when I first wore it. I wasnt living at home, but when my parents came i was scared what they will say. It took me almost a year to wear it in front of them but alhamdulillah now they support me to wear it. I think the fear of doing something is immense but when you actually get around to doing it its not that bad after all. Alhamdulillah the feeling is good and the reward will be big inshallah :)
 
Salam,
Mashallah, I hope you will keep the hijab on inshallah. But honestly, in my village back home where I have to be in hijab when I visit my parents in the weekends there live no Muslims at all, no black people. There are only racist and nazist gangs. But they don't scare me, I am not ashamed. I don't go out alone because of them and I probably won't either. Here in the city where I live I don't really know any Muslims, there are Muslims but I haven't gotten to know them. Does this stop me? No. I just love the hijab so much and have waited until I could use it since I used it half days in summer sometimes when I was really far away from my home before my parents knew about my conversion.
So don't let anything stop you. But I understand it's harder if you don't like to wear the hijab.
 
Congratulations sister on wearing the hijab!! I also started to wear the hijab in ramadan 2007. At first i felt weird around other people but now i feel weird without it. Keep it up and inshallah allah (swt) will reward you
 
Asalamalikum sister Donia
May Allah bless you for wearing the hijab and may allah make it easy & comfortable for you wearing it outside. (ameen). :D
 
MashaAllah this is really a brave step toward Jannah inshaAllah. May Allah keep you steady in your Iman and always guide you to the right path dear. For sure there might be some minor problems in the future but as you said in your post dear, you do it for the sake of Allah so there is nothing more precious than that. I am really happy for you dear :)
 
Asalamalaikum sister Danah
Ameen for that dua and the same for you, inshallah.

Alhamdulilah it is a brave step towards jannah and you are doing for the sake of Allah, mashallah and inshallah you will continue wearing for the sake of allah
and get loads of rewards from allah (s.w.t)


May Allah bless you in abundance, ameen.
 
Mashallah. Congeraultions.
I started to wear hijab 2 1/2 weeks after I coverted to Islam. There are hardly any muslim in my town and I know 0 of them so the 1st day I wore it out of the house was nerveracking but I was thinking, I don't care what people think. I wore it to college and I told everyone I converted to Islam. I wore it to see parents later on in that week and I told them of my convertion to Islam at the same time. They were not to imprested but now they are alright with it and with me.
Stay stong and stick with it. You are wearing it for Allah.

SubhaanalLah wal-HamdulilLah.

[I am also myself struggling at the moment though not about hijaab but with wearing jilbaab. See I have just one jilbaab and at times Shaitaan tries to affect me. I start to think that it's weird me wearing the same the whole year everyday at school, with same cloth always. So at times I think I should change to tunika etc. Nor is it helping when mother would want me to wear different kinds of clothes. (Also my mind at times debades about praying in front of others at school. Jazakumullahu khairan the other members at the thread for the advices and support they gave me. I do try to pray very strongly nowadays. I seek Allah's help) ]

I tend to make du'aa to Allah and ask His help. And without Him I NEVER could have done anything, I am so so weak really. AlhamdulilLah for the Almighty's guidance

I know that stuff like hijaab, niqaab, clothes isn't easy at all. That's why I try to at times make du'aa to make it easier for the Ummah, all of us around the world.

I was just about to share what happened to me today, but I changed my mind coz' I believe it is between me and Allah. But I can tell you that I realized that if we really put our trust in Allah, , be patient and seek His help sincerily then Insha'lLah He will help us. Today Allah helped me alot, when I thought everything was over, He saved me from the situation my heart hated. Allah is so Merciful, we sin and sin and He provides and provides us :cry:

My mind was also debading alot before wearing hijaab, but Al-hamdulilLah some truthful lectures by Umar Abdelkafy about the Hereafter/before the Hereafter helped me alot. Actually my problem was that my nafs said that I will do it after I finnish school, i will do it later etc etc. Little by little I realized that I could die any moment and that it was not how I wanted to die.

I think we really should appreciate the Truth and Allah's guidance more :cry:

Sister you are on the right path, dont we wanna be among those whom will be with the Prophet (SAAS) in the Hereafter?

May Allah give us and all the Ummah strength and guidance around the world
 
JazakAllahu khayrun for all your responses and encouragement.
I really appreciate it.

I reckon people do discriminate because of Hijjabs but if they discriminate someone with one on, they will when someone isnt wearing one.

There are employers out there that wont really care, they are the ones that you would want work for anyway.

Why would someon want to work for an employer who discriminates for any reason. At least when you stand in front of an emplyer they know what they are getting, which I respect more.

Good lcuk and remember the greatest reward liest with Allah.
 
Masha'Allah :)

I am also soon going to start wearing hijab In sha Allah
Keep wearing it, and be strong in your Iman!
May Allah make it easy for you. Ameen
