Mad Babbles

nai1a:

Final decision made.

So, I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time. The Hijab. I’ve wore it, but never permanently, it was always an on and off issue, mostly due to cultural and parental influences. I’ve been thinking and thinking, and I’ve realized that if I want to wear it for good, only I have the power to decide on that. No force. No pressure. No culture. No parents. Just my faith, heart, and myself.

The main reason to justify why I never stuck with it before was due to my confidence level, the need to impress, and express. I know that sounds pretty materialistic and vain, but hey; I’m a teenage girl who mostly grew up in Canada. (And yes. I know that’s just an excuse). Also, my behaviour. I knew if I wore hijab, I have to watch myself and be twice as aware of what I say, who I’m with, and what I do; because to the rest of the world is going to be watching me. I feared doing wrong, and ruining the name of “Hijabis”.

The reason I began giving some serious thought to being a full-time hijabi was a couple of months ago; I realized how beautiful and modest women who covered looked in my eyes, and the level of respect I have for them is beyond anything else. I wanted myself to portray myself like that as well; and feel respected, not infected with the need to attract. I realized there is nothing which is negative about it (allow the false judgement of people). Hijab for me is protection. Protection from false eyes, false words, false thoughts, false behaviour.

Pray for me to follow through with this please.

You are in my duas. May Allah make you amongst the righteous sisters, and help you be a positive example and inspiration to other women, young and old, around the world. May Allah make your journey towards success in this life and the Next easy, and filled with happiness and bliss. Ameen!

Brothers and sisters, keep this sister in your prayers, and when I ask that, I ask sincerely that you ACTUALLY remember her when you are in sujood, to pray that Allah gives her strength and everything that is good in this life and the Hereafter. Ameen. Jazakallahu khairun :D
