Assalamu'laikum sisters!
I remember the day I first started wearing the hijab. Matter of fact, it was around May 17, 2013. I didn't really want to wear the hijab until quite a while. I would always just tell myself that I would wear it after marriage. But then I realized, why not now?
I wanted to go to an Alimah Course with my friend. She was a hijabi while I was not. I remember that she told her mother that we both wanted to enter an Alimah course to become better muslims. Her brother said something like, "She doesn't even wear a scarf. She has to start with the basics." It made me think more.
He had a point. So I finally made my mind up and was like, "I'm going to start wearing a hijab." I had announced my decision to my friend. She was happy for me!
The next day, I looked into the mirror and told myself, "You can do it." I wrapped the beautiful hijab around my head and was ready to go to school. I remember the first instant walking into class. I felt like all eyes were on me. I was absolutely terrified!
Yes, people did look at me. But then again, why wouldn't they? I had just announced my status as "Muslim Girl." Some people had asked my why I was wearing it and I was like, "Because I'm supposed to and it's part of my religion." I even had some people ask me if my mom forced me to wear it. I was like NOO! I thought that was very offensive. It was my decision. Why would someone force me? That day, I went home with a smile on my face.
And that sisters, is how my first day went. It was wonderful and Insha'Allah I will continue to wear it all my life.
Keep reading for more posts! I have fun stuff planned! Thanks for reading! Feedback is appreciated.
Love, Samiha :) xx
