im 13 years old .i sarted wearing hijab 8 months ago, but just put it on in ramdan and didnt think much of it. In the hols i went to saudi arabia to perfom umrah. out there i realised how much comitiment it really takes. now that iv'e come back i dnt think i have that comittment and i dont think i have that strength or the mental ability. i feel a bit bad coz like i wear it to skool and it would look stupid if i took it off after 8 months, but feel so stronly about it. what should i do? is it a great sin if i take it off. (no one forced me to wear it it was my own choice, my mum doesnt wear it)

I'm not a Muslim, but, I have studied the Koran. If that's OK with you, I'd like to say that if you really believe that Allah is the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent; then your wearing or discarding the hijab shouldn't make you worried.
Unfortunately, many Muslims forget that the Koran says, explicitly, that it is Allah who shall judge and dispense.
My advise is do what you feel is right, aziza.
Trust in Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent and don't worry about the so called "scholars" who tell you otherwise.
Think about it seriously for a while. You don't want to stop wearing it for a few weeks, and then start again. Decide for real.
It's your choice. A lot of Muslim women in the USA don't wear their hijabs, except to the masjid. Where I live, though, a lot of girls and women DO wear the hijab, all the time.
It's up to you to follow Allah's orders or not =) Allah gave us his religion and his orders clearly. It's our choice to follow or reject them. Yet when we reject his orders we are the losers!
It may not be easy for you. I understand how hard it is(especially that your mother doesn't put it). but remember it's a struggle (jihad) between you and your desires. The harder it is the more ajr you get. Pray for Allah and ask for help. Tell him with honesty that you don't want to disobey him. Tell him to strengthen you and help you.
Hang out with girls who wear it, to get support and advice.
i already knew tat was coming, u should never decide to take a hijab on ur own becuz u will end up taking off like my two cousins so ya i would suggest u take it off if u cant handle the importance of it otherwise just keep it on.
