Everyday I'm HIjab-ing

This Blog is a way for me to document my life after deciding to wear a Hijab Alhumdulillah. **If you take one step towards Allah, He will come running towards you.**

The Quran clearly mentions that Noah was a prophet of God. All Prophets faced rejection by the disbelievers.

Everyday I'm struggling...

Update

Long time no post! To begin with, I am doing great Alhumdulillah! My journey to becoming a better Muslim woman is still progressing. I feel like I am always facing challenges in my new lifestyle but I will get through it with the help of Allah. Most challenges are to do with my social life. My friends all want to hang out and drink and party but I can't do that anymore so I always feel left out. I also have the constant reminder of my old life because I am around alot of the people that knew me back then, so when people talk about the past it makes me feel ashamed. I feel like I have control over myself and have not been tempted by alcohol or such. I feel really lucky to be able to come out of that old life and not feel the urge to go back. It also helps that I have an amazing guy in my life to keep me on the straight path. In my profession I do have contact with males and sometimes some people get too friendly and I have to try to keep my distance. I am having issues with hand shaking and hugging. I don't want to shake hands but if I dont it seems rude and I just don't have the heart to reject a hand shake. One time this guy touched my shoulder and I felt so disgusted I wanted to run away. But he didn't mean anything by it so it's just hard for me to tell people not to touch me. I should start wearing a shirt that says DO NOT TOUCH ME! But anyways, I hope God protects me from pervy men. I also hate when old men tell me I look pretty! I wear Hijab! I am trying to cover myself from you!!! Stop looking at me!!! I know they mean nothing by it, they are just being nice but I still don't like it. Anyways, May Allah continue to give me the strength to stay on the right path.

The struggle when your friends always make drinking plans and you feel bad for flopping.

I hate being around alcohol!

So what made me decide I wanted to marry him? I think the ultimate cause what the fact that after meeting him I was able to start wearing Hijab and begin praying to Allah again. I used to think that Hijab would never be for someone like me. I was such a sinner and horrible Muslim woman. I was afraid of what people would say. I was afraid of being an outcast. I was afraid it would hinder me in obtaining my goals academically. I was the party girl, no way could I have worn hijab and have fun at the same time. I guess my priorities were different at that time. I'm so glad I met him now that I was grown and had a better head on my shoulders. But he definitely made me realize I didn't need to live that old lifestyle where I had no respect for myself. In the beginning I had no intentions of getting into a relationship with him. He was just a good friend at the time. I'm still wowed at the affect he had on me. My family and friends and coworkers were all shocked at my decision to adopt the hijab and be modest. My family was not so supportive in the beginning which made me want to give up. But alhumdulillah he always gave me reason to continue on this path. We were talking alot and eventually I just knew I would be so lucky to spend my life with this man. He never judges me for my past mistakes but instead helps me make my present and future better. He makes me want to be a better Muslim woman. I don't need a highly educated and tall and handsome guy. My man is better in character than any other man I have ever met. Plus he's super cute <3 All in all I am so blessed to have found him. It all happened at the right time and all fell into place like it was meant to be. Alhumdulillah! Thank you God for giving me this chance to be closer to you and experience real love at the same time.

A French Muslim woman who continued to wear the full-face veil in defiance of a new law banning it in France have been issued fines by a court.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to France.

This is really sad. ):

the men who cross the boundaries of a self-respecting woman make my blood boil. 

[trueguidance-deactivated2013030]

I wish a nigga would touch me like that.

[visualizefreedom-deactivated201]

How dare they to treat a person, a woman, like THAT. This angers me so much.

[hijabiadventures]

Ughhhh I hate France!!

Alot of people don’t understand when I say “I’m happier now” after wearing a hijab. Mostly because I always smile regardless of how I feel. I don’t let people in to know how I really feel. In the past I was not happy with myself. My actions were not representative of a Muslim woman’s action. Partying…hanging with guy friends without any haya…having to lie to my parents about my where abouts. All these little things finally caught up to me and I hated the person I had become. I had no respect for myself and I was disrespecting the morals my parents gave me. But alhumdulillah Allah guided me towards him and by His grace I am a better Muslim woman. By wearing the hijab it constantly reminds me to obey the laws of Allah. By keeping Allah in my life I am more aware of my actions and their consequences.

It's weird when people call me beautiful even when I have my Hijab on. I'm not trying to be beautiful anymore! I used to care so much about how I look and now I just care about how I act. I suppose then I can correlate that beauty to my actions so I am doing well I suppose. *sighs* this life is complicated.

Some people just dont get it!

So  this woman at work today asked me why I changed? She assumed I got married and was forced to do it. I explained that I was doing it cause it is my duty as a Muslim woman to protect my modesty. She was like but you were fine before! I told her that the hijab is a constant reminder for me to act according to my religion and it prevents me from doing things that God does not approve of. She also said I have become a different person like my personality is different now and I am quieter and more subdued. I told her I am much happier with myself now. I know she won't understand where I am really coming from but I'm happy when people ask me questions and I get to widen their perspectives.
