I started wearing hijab at sixteen years of age. It was the first day of Ramadan and the best day of my life. It was hard in the beginning but things became wonderful afterwards. First, I lost two jobs and some friends. I also had a hard time with my family. I had no support and I learned Qu’ran and Islam all by myself. With time, I realized that God was protecting me and He had better plans for me. Islam saved me from a lot of things. I felt myself more protected, more respected, simply a better person, and more comfortable with myself. and Alhamdoulilah (God-Graciously) today, I’m more than just happy.
Hijab is necessary, Yes. But the most important thing is one’s relation with Allah and the way one tries to be a better person and a better Muslim. No matter what media says, Islam will shine anyways. I wish blessings, happiness, and love in life for everybody.
ALLAH can read us.,what is good for us and what is bad for us..HE knows better then us..
