Why did you decide to wear a headscarf? Or not?

Due to a number of reasons.

# I believe it is a command from Allah Subhana Wa 'Tala for us women to not show our beauty to just anyone - husbands, female friends/relatives and mahrams only. Hair is a major part of a woman's beauty.

# When I started coming closer to religion, praying consistantly 5 times everyday - I thought "why not, I already dress modestly, so wearing the khimar (headscarf) isn't a big deal." Shortly after I started to do correct hijab by wearing jilbab/abaya (because full hijab isn't complete with just a headscarf)

# I wanted to be identified as a Muslim woman. Before I started to wear the scarf - during most of my life people I met for the first time almost always thought I was a non-Muslim and I didn't like that.

Head scarf for me was what brought me to where I am now. I hate it but it's a love hate relationship it was seeing those women and the respect I thought they were given that made me want to be Muslim. I was like wow what a good life they must have the men know their duty and role the women know theirs. wow what great religion!

But the truth always makes itself apparent. It wasn't but a few years and many Sunni friends later I learned it's all a show with no truth to it at all. All along I was duped and, made to think they were enjoying life when they were the same women as any other. They weren't more happy then me or better off or even righteous they were just women with scarfs that's it. I had all along suffered "grass is greener on the other side syndrome" and, had a rude awakening of truth.

It was when and, only when I realized and, accepted that the "hijab" was a made up God in the minds of women whom they serve to try and, make better there own feelings. It doesn't stop rape or violence against us it's all an illusion made to look good/right by Satan

I don't wear it because I accept God as my Rabb and, the Qurans directions are sufficient for me. Never does God say cover your heads he instructs modesty and to keep away from lewdness.

I used to be going to invite the identical query. I am now not muslim however my husband is and I have a few that the women in his household have given me and a few that I picked up myself whilst I used to be there. I have no idea why I might feel that dressed in them in Jordan and now not being muslim might be any exceptional than dressed in them right here. I bet due to the fact there it used to be usual to peer virtually all of the women dressed in hijab and I simply used to be one within the crowd. Here I might stand out like a sore thumb. Oh the thrill of a small the city! I normally have what they name Princess Hijab (in Jordan) - the two piece stretchy bathtub like ones. I name them newbie hijab. I have not gotten down the knack for tying the headscarf but and I'm a risk to myself with pins. I simply love how I consider while I put on them. From the first time my sister in regulation confirmed me how you can put on one it simply felt cozy and the one phrase I can feel of is correct. I almost always put on them while I am at dwelling. I even have a few lovely Jibabs that I put on at all times. I get a few humorous appears however so much individuals simply feel I am "just a bit exceptional".

Allah told us to. I hadn't reached puberty yet but I just started wearing without a reason and soon it just became apart of me, Alhamdulilah I now know why I wear it and it's because I love Allah, and this body of mine doesn't belong to me, it's His so I should take care of it according to what He taught me (through the Qur'an).

Assalaamu Alaykum. I became a Muslim right before my freshman year of college started so I figured why not since the hijab for me offered much more protection and I wanted others (Muslims) to know that I was Muslim. I first started off wearing capris, headscarf tied as a bun, to longer sleeves, long pants, headscarf tied in the back, to headscarf covering the ears and neck.

Because God tells me to in Qur'an and God told Muhammed (SAW) who told us in the sahih hadiths that covering the face is for all women, not just the wives of the Prophet (SAW) which is why I wear niqab.

asalaam aleikum, sis...

I choose to wear hijab because I realized I get more respect from men when I cover my body up. and because Allah (swt) asks us to.

i didn't decide not to wear it

i just don't

feel that head scarves would hide who i was. i want people to know the real me not a religion.
