assalamu alaikum

I hope its okay to post about what for me is a big step.

Some of you will know I have been having trouble wearing proper hijab. I started off wearing a loose scarf and felt suffocated if I tried hijab, also I was finding it really hard to cover my fringe (no idea why, it just felt really strange) so over the months I have just worn scarf and tried and tried to wear proper hijab. After a while I found myself pulling my scarf tighter and tighter around my face but still my fringe poked out. This has been a really big issue for me..... I just couldn't wear it properly. I have been in tears or verging on tears many times over it, mainly frustration as I wanted to wear it but couldn't.

So, yesterday I went to town and as I was putting on my scarf I decided it looked 'funny' no matter what I did or which scarf I tried, none of them looked right. After ages I realised.... it was my fringe!! It looked silly lol .... so I put on my under bonnet then my scarf. That looked right :) ( I cover my hair properly when I do salat, just not outside) I didnt have time to let my lack of confidence take over as I had faffed about so much I was running late. I was halfway to the bus stop about 3 minutes away when I had this fantastic feeling :) I felt sooooooo confident, soooo happy and sooooo protected. Within a few minutes I didnt even feel it on my head, it was like I had worn it all my life. .....Alhamdulillah

I got home and actually laughed at myself..... I couldn't believe I had spent all those months worrying about not wearing it because of not being able to wear it (if that makes sense lol) I have just been to the local shop and didn't even think to just put a loose scarf on..... I tied hijab (okay so it was maybe one of the messiest hijabs I have ever seen) but yayyyy .... I did it :)
 
Alhamdulillah

Jazakallah for sharing this with us, it is another source of inspiration and motivation for me especially, not that I intend on wearing hijab lol but to fulfill obligations as a muslim regardless of consequences/awkwardness/comfort etc.

and congrats on your beautiful day!
 
thanks brother naidamar..... one of the best things is I know that I will never just go out with just scarf on again.... it will always be proper hijab from now on :)
 
Walaikum assalam sister elina,

Gongratulations, I guess your mind got a lesson from your heart.

Masalam
 
Wa Alaykum Assalaam sister,

Masha'Allaah, that is really good to hear. Remember that the harder it is to do a good deed, the greater is the reward.

May Allaah (swt) give us all the strength to fulfil His commands and keep us steadfast, Aameen.
 
i am very happy for you! wearing hijab really gives us a great feeling and protects us from a lot of things, i think one of them is feeling lonely. i think those walking around nearly naked must feel awful. they always seem upset, longing for attention that they may not always get.
 
Wa Alaaykum As'salaam uktee..


I am really happy for you, your story reminds me of my days when i was struggling to wear my Hijaab for a sort of long-ish time also but Alhamdulilaah i made it one day..

Remember for the good intention of wearing the Hijaab, only Allaah is aware of that and he is pleased with you so he will reward you dear uktee! so only Allaah is to judge especially for your doing it for his sake.

I pray that Allaah SWT makes all your hardships easy for you and reward you greatly with his blessings and grant you happiness in both this life and the hereafter Aameen..

oops sorry, I thought you were joking; Bro, it is so hard to tell when you are being serious or joking.

We don't have male hijab but traditionally indonesian muslim men wear "kopiah/kopyah" which is like topi.

same here...sorry

thanks sis ghazalah and yanoorah and mun :) sorry for quick reply im running late for work :(
 
That's great news sister, i'm happy for you, i think hijab gives women privacy and builds her confidence. At first it may be hard especially if you're living in the west, but i used to live in Canada and i think people there have higher religous awareness and they respected that , but i think it's very hard to wear it in europe , May God help and protect all our sisters in islam and humanity as well :)
 
Masha'Allaah Sister! I hope that one day I will have the strength to embrace hijab just as you did... your story is an inspiration to women who are still struggling with making the decision to wear hijab.
 
thanks sisters may and amanda........ ah its nice there's respect in canada..... i had 2 women push past me muttering under their breath at me (wont repeat what they said as if i took out the swearing i would be left with ...stupid....english.....muslim <rollseyes> amanda may Allah (swt) make it easy for you :)
