im a muslim gurrl! help me..?

1) You are not required to wear the hijab (get me the verse in the Quran proving otherwise and I will revoke my previous claim)

2) If you do decide to wear the hijab out of your own decision, taking it off is a sin. It's like doing something for God and modesty than retracting it.

If you wish to wait until college so be it. Again, it is not wajib (mandatory).

~~

Consult God do the consult prayer (istekhara) and he will inspire u for the best thing to do,and remember that in the same time that hijab is important its more important to cover the rest of your body,make sure u dont wear tight tops and trousers cose this angers God more than not wearing hijab,i say this cos there is alot of girls wear head cover while wearing so tight trouser and tshirt!!!!

Assalamu Alaikum Layla.

I once heard that: "It took GUTS to be Christian." I thought, 'No it takes Guts to be Muslim."

To force yourself to be different may be a desire of some teens with purple hair and piercings galore but for other teens it is tough because its not about just being different its about fitting in.

You have to realize the majority of students haven't figured out life yet much less what career path they will take and yet you have this wonderful plan for you. You live on a high moral course and you know its the right path. You know that you will be rewarded for your prayers, your fasting, your being good to your parents. Complete your deen by being forceful to stand up for what you believe in. (This is your jihad)

Many kids who may have not been born with completely formed limbs or may be wheelchair bound may like oh so bad to fit in. They will never really be accepted because God gave them this challenge. You will think , "how sad for them." Allah makes them stronger and great perseverance.

If you ever looked at the homeless and you see their perseverance to stay alive, yet many of us would collasp in that same circumstances.

We have to be strong Muslims and march forward, maybe when Truly you understanding what its like to be different will make you an strong sensitive human and that characteristic will be great in many professions.

A relative at age 8 had a major surgery to remove his colon and he was concerned of the kids teasing him while in Gym class to see his large scar. I told him just to tell them a shark bit you, they will all love to have a scar to show off and you know that boy is now a 18 year old who still tells that story. After all he went through to fight the horrible disease he had, he is such a warm hearted lovely young man. Now he is considering Medical School.

Being different is what makes us special in Gods eyes.

Salaam Layla :)

I have one question for you to think about. How do you know you will be living until your college years, or even to see tomorrow? My point of asking this is that we cant expect that death will come to us at an old age. People die at any age, and we see many examples of that happening around us.

Once you remember that, then you can also remember that as Muslims we are living our lives to please Allah and not base our actions on what others will think of us. I know it may not be easy starting, but thats just the beginning and the struggle is nothing compared to the struggles Prophet Muhammad (saws) went through when the Pagan Arabs rejected him. They threw rocks at him, spat at him, threatened to kill him, but he still remained faithful to Allah. Take that as inspiration, and try to be friends with other girls who wear hijab as I found that also inspirational :)

We should not be embarrassed to let people know we are Muslims, we are so lucky elhamdulillah. Allah says in the Holy Qur'an, "You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) mankind; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah." [3:110]

I'm not saying to start wearing it now, because I dont think its right for women to wear the hijab when they're not ready and then keep taking it off and on like a game. But since you are not ready, do the things that will make you ready and take this time to prepare. Dont just tell yourself you will do it one day in the future because only Allah knows how long of a future you have. I just started wearing it recently, and trust me if you take the time to prepare yourself mentally and physically, once you start wearing it you will love it and not have that feeling of it being weird. Remember when you do something for the sake of Allah, Allah will make it easier on you inshallah!

Also dont forget to make dua, pray for Allah to guide you and make it easier for you to start wearing the hijab for His sake. Allah does not burden a soul more than it can bear. Make Allah make this easy for you and guide you~

@above users saying hijab is oppression - when it is the decision of the girl to wear it, the only true oppression is when people like you do not accept her decision and claim that she is oppressed. I and millions of my sisters are happy in our hijab, thank you very much :)

The earlier you wear it...the better.

And really, it doesn't matter what people think.

What matters is what Allah thinks.

And no Muslim can tell you if you're going to Hell or not.

Only Allah (swt) can.

Wa'Salaam.

To pick and choose what YOU want to believe is called RELATIVISM.

This is WHY living in faith is sooooooo hard.

You either CONFORM or GET OUT of it! If you're not going to abide in the law, then what's the point?

Wear it whenever you want, and if people don't like it they can sod off.

But I beg of you, stop using the word "gurl."

If people stare, ask if they also stare at Pentecostals who wear only dresses.

hi layla im mandi.. im a whole diffrent relgion then you but i understand how you feel.. i think you should be yourself... if wearing that is not you. DONT wear it.. but if you feel rele strongly about your religion wear it.. religion is important and other peoples oppinions shudnt matter ;]

You are free to decide if you want to wear it or not.

Don't wear it if it makes you uncomfortable, but also, don't NOT wear it because others make fun of you wearing it.

Be YOU....

u think that every girl who wears it likes wearing it?
