I loved having people take a second look at me because it made me feel beautiful. But after learning and understanding more about Islam, I realized that I was wrong. I then started to wear hijab with the encouragements and motivation from my love ones.
Starting was not easy. I got negative reactions from people around me due to my drastic change. To make matters worse, my soul mate seemed distant and cold towards me. I was confused and upset because with a heavy heart, I had to remove my hijab to save my marriage.
Again with the removal of my hijab, I was shunned by the people who thought I am doing wrong. Alhamdullilah, now Allah has opened his heart to allow me to wear hijab. I feel so much happier. I feel secure and I urge all women to support wearing hijab.
