today was the first day since i have become a muslim that i have worn a head scarf. i went to school, and alot of people were asking me like "are you cold or something? why are you wearing that?" (some people that i talk to didn't even notice though lol) i put it on when i got to school because if i would have left the house wearing it my mom would have told me to take it off, because any covering worn on the head is against the school dress code, but i explained to my teachers the reason i wore it and they were very understanding:)i am so happy to be a muslimah and i was so happy to wear the hijaab as allah (swt) has commanded me:)

Masha' Allah Sister. It takes great courage to do what you have done. You may not get alot of encouragement from the outside world so stay close to those who are close to Allah (SWT) and you will receive that encouragement. The first day I wore my hijab/jilbab, I was accidentily mistaken for a nun by an elderly lady on the tube in London. :D When I went to the passport office to get my photo taken, the photographer argued with me about wearing my headcover until I pulled out the regulation I copied from the library and he was forced to take my picture with my headcover on. When I arrived at my destination, some of the people of that country tried to convince me that Hijab/Jilbab was not for American muslims. I wore it anyways. Coming back to America and wearing them was an even more daunting task. You probably have already noted that you will get the most bewildering looks. Instead of being fully dressed from head to toe, people look at you as if you must be walking around naked with your hair on fire.

Just remember not to let it discourage you. Instead, let the Koran encourage you.
“O Prophet! Say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw their outergarments (jilbabs) close around themselves; that is better that they will be recognized and not annoyed. And God is ever Forgiving, Gentle.” (Quran Al-Ahzab 59)

In surah 24: Al Nur (or The Light), verses 30-31 it says:

"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity of them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: they should not display their ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty..."

Opening the eyes of the spirit takes a certain courage and a moment of decision...The moment of realization that maybe it is all real is where submission to God begins. It is not the end of the story by any means, but only the beginning. :) Mabruk on your wise and courageous decision. :)
