My Hijab Story
Asalamaualkaum warahmatuAllah wabarkhatuhu sisters in al-islam 
I just thought I would share my hijab story with everone insh'Allah 
When i think about who I was 2 years ago and compare to the person I am today, all I can say is Allah hu Akbaar!!!!!!!!! This isnt to say that I was a bad person before or that i wore un islamic clothing, I just didnt wear hijab back then and my vision about what kind of person I wanted to be and life I wanted to live was completely different back then. I guess I started wearing hijab a year ago, mostly because when i came back from asaudia I had been wearing hijab for one month and I felt bad suddently taking it off. Besides, when I came back I was swimming in taqwah alhamdullilah but since Ive been wearing hijab I totally love it !! no one In my family wears hijab so It was a bit difficult, but subhanAllah since Ive been wearing it, my sisters have been wearing more often then they did before. I wear hijab on the weekdays and I wear abaya and hijab on the weekends and I love it! alhamduliah since ive been wearing hijab no one has given me a hard time, occasionally people will talk really really slowly as if I cant understand what theyre saying! most of the time I find it amusing lol, but I do remember this one time I was sitting in class and we had some faculty come in and talk about a foreign exchange program and at one point one of the ladies looked right at me and says, "And if youre not a resident......" um okay......most of the time I just shrug it off and laugh But what I really love about hijab is that people respect you more, like they will open doors for you, and you dont feel uncomfortable because you are wearing tight clothes. But most of all, I love my hijab because I know that I am doing it for the sake of Allah azzaa wa jal. We shouldnt worry about what people will say if we wear hijab, we should be concerned with what Allah azza wa jal will think if we do not. Insh'Allah now I am currently studying to become a hafiza of the Quran and I want to become an ob/gyn and teach in a madrassah insh'Allah. Also, now I have come to the conclusion to wear niqaab in the future because i think niqaabies are so graceful and beautifull! so insh'Allah I will submit my niqaaabi story soon jazkAllah khairan, walaikum asalaam rahamtuAllah wabarkhatuhu, ur ukhti in al Islam
