POST OF THE NIGHT: BE STRONG IN HIJAB

Assalamu Alaikum,

I noticed some new faces on this blogging site of mine, and that is something I welcome...masha'ALLAH.

Alright, I know many sisters are having a serious problem with keeping on hijab, or niqab and trying to please the people around them.

This is a topic that I believe is pretty personal and very personal to others also.

There are sisters I know that do not wear hijab because they are scared, don't feel like they are ready, mother don't wear it, or because they don't know about it.

This gives no reason for why a sister doesn't put hijab on. Hijab is an obligation, so put it on.

Insha'ALLAh, I wish the best for these sisters, but moving on.

The sisters who have decided to put on hijab should understand that its not going to be easy, nor simple.

We have to face this jihad that ALLAHSWT have put upon us. There was a sheikh that sent out a fatwa to sisters a way back with the September 11th tragedy, and he said that it was okay if sisters took off their hijabs out of security. Subhan'ALLAH.

I know a sister personally who do not wear hijab anymore, but did. She wants to soon, insha'ALLAh.

I wake up everyday around Non-Muslims or even Muslims who do not like the wearing of hijab, but its alright because its something I wear for the Lord. Alhumdulilah!!

You have to. You can't put people first. You can't.

You wear your islamic clothing: Your skirts, baggy jeans, jilbabs, abayas, dishdashes, or etc and you wear it everyday.

Its no one elses business why you wear it. You can tell them, but they don't tell you why they wear that they wear.

It should be an obligation upon us Muslimas to tell people why we wear what we wear. If they ask it then insha'ALLAH, its our choice to answer.

Insha'ALLAh, we wish everyone well.

Sometimes I get crazy comments from people such as:

1 "Why do you wear crazy clothing(abayas)?"
2 "Why don't you wear jeans" I do, but not often...i'm always wrapped up
3 "Why do you wear that on your head"
4 " Do you get hot"
5 "Are you forced to wear that"
6 " What happen if you take it off"

Its something we hijaabis and niqaabis may get. Its alright because we feel good in what we wear. We're covered and alhumdulilah, there is nothing wrong with that.

Wa alaikum!!

  6. We have to remember to give new sisters time. Its not an easy thing to do. We should help them, advise them and be there for them with questions... but we can only make dua for them that they will come to a point where they feel ready to cover.

  7. wonderful post sister. i started wearing hijab a couple of months ago and although i do get frustrated cos ive had trouble finding decent scarves and appropriate clothing, i dont feel right unless i wear it. and alhamdulillah im happy i dont feel complete without it. my favourite point was that they dont tell you why they wear what they wear so theres no need to have to explain yourself.
