By Stephany Goodwin (Mormon, USA)
I’m a Mormon who participated in World Hijab Day 2/1/2014. Upon putting the hijab on, I felt secure, protected & worth something more than being an object to a man. The Mormon & Muslim faith have similar standards in modesty & morality. So when I donned the hijab, it didn’t bother me at all. In fact, I am now a “Mormon, Non-Muslim Hijabi”! I wear this head covering whenever I am out in public without my husband to keep strange men from looking at me. When I take pictures, I choose to veil myself! It’s been a month since WHD but I’m still wearing the hijab. Hijab isn’t just for Muslims but for all women of different faiths! Jews, Catholics, Amish, etc…Thank You for this awareness! I’ve received much support from family & friends. Please feel free to follow me on Instagram to see what my daily life is like! God Bless & best of health to all! http://instagram.com/
MashaAllah this is awesome! People of all beliefs and places should be encouraged to don the garments of modesty! May Allah (swt) bless you and your efforts with good!
