I am a born Muslim who never practiced Islam before even though I still loved Allah more than anything! I always had an urge to wear the hijab but was never strong enough to go with it. Alhamdulillah, I started reading the Quran and started to question my life style 24/7. It came to a point where I was listening to a lecture and this Sheikh (scholar of Islam) said if you were to die today and face Allah, what you got to present in front of Him saying here I did this for you? I took a moment to think what I had to offer and honestly, I couldn’t think of one thing.
Yes, I’m a loving, caring, helpful person with a huge heart but I felt like this question had a deeper meaning. So I said if I didn’t have anything ’till today to offer Allah, I’ll start by this, and I wore my hijab on January 26, 2015. And I have never been happier in my life. My life makes sense now. I don’t feel lost anymore. I have a purpose now. I see how different I get treated by the brothers -with so much more respect, even from strangers. If someone offered me 50 million dollars to remove my hijab, I would never in a million years take it off. My hijab, my pride! Salam (peace) to every sister who is on the right path! May Allah be pleased with us. Ameen.
