My Hijab Story
As salaam u Alaikum, I would gladly tell ya my story..it's not that unique tho...but i'll tell yaz anyways hehe
Once upon a time, there lived a beautif....nevermind that.. heeh WEll i guess it all started last summer when my best friend nadia was over. This wasn't too long ago, summer of 2001 and I was one of those westernized desi fobs ya know? sheesh..glad those days are over..I was all about Jay Z and booty tight jeans Astaghfirullah! now, that i think of it....I have changed drastically in a short period of time. My friend had come over my house and she brought this book about Islam with her cuz she told the night before it had all these stories about jinn and im in all that kinda stuff. Well she had left the book at my house and i was just skimmin through and didnt nkow that much botu Islam..i was shocked to read about ..well pretty much everything! That night I decided to pray Isha'a for the first time since Eid...sheesh. I felt so peaceful when i was reading tho a little aggravated cuz i didnt even know what i was saying...as the summer lingered I kept reading more of the Quran and Hadith and I was so involved..my mom was just shocked to see me pray and read the Quran. A week before school came and I realized how important itw as to change my wardrobe. I went shoppin to get modest clothing and then it clicked..i'd start hijab in college! the next day i thought maybe i'd start later next year. Two nights before school, I made my final decision..withought tellin anyone but my parents i would start hijab the first day of school. Boy, imagine that! And alhamdulillah, since Sep 5, i am an official HIJABI hehe. It seems ilke i have changed more spiritually than the way i act. I'm still that loud energetic person but i have my limits. I wrote this big essay on my whole story bout hijab if ya wanna read it...I might post it later on, InshaAllah.
