It’s been 3 great years since I started wearing God’s gracious gift to women that is a headscarf, tudung or hijab etc. as we call it. When I began wearing hijab, I was asked whether it is going to last? I’m proud of it although, in the beginning I had moments of self-conflict like any other normal person and I thought of the consequences of continuing it for life. But I told myself that I am trying my best to stand tall and defend my dignity and pride to represent who and what I am today.

I know people are surprised, both positively and negatively. But as I remind myself everyday that I am so lucky that Allah SWT (All Praise to Him) chose me like the rest of you to be closer to Him so better now than never. I was not born an angel but thank God I experienced everything early through years of curiosity and the learning continues. It’s been overwhelming but oh well, I take it with a pinch of salt. Life is not as sweet all the time. A little bit of bitter and sour moments only make life more complete.

Little would you know that many women cover by CHOICE.
