Also to all the sisters who commented. I feel a lot more inspired, I keep reminding myself of the advice and insh'Allah I will become a hijabi really soon, I will keep praying. Thank you so much, and one last thing, thank you for not being judgemental, it meant a lot to me.... <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-58486745148852431652012-01-16T20:50:08.493-08:002012-01-16T20:50:08.493-08:00One more thing!

And subhanAllah, even if you can't see their face, their beauty and persona can't be compared with anyone else's. It leaves you speechless...truly.Apple Blossomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846994955139501696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-70255620708672036332012-01-15T19:48:05.502-08:002012-01-15T19:48:05.502-08:00P.S : Salam to the sister who smiles and all the l...P.S : Salam to the sister who smiles and all the little aunties :)Q.S.Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046127358934602392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-73834791870297047152012-01-15T19:37:30.468-08:002012-01-15T19:37:30.468-08:00Salam dear sis,
The Sisterwhosmiles pointed out th...Salam dear sis,<br />The Sisterwhosmiles pointed out the bottom line for every decision: is your heart in the dunya or in the akhira? Remember: Allah Himself is VEILED from us in this dunya. He is only going to unveil Himself in front of His lovers in Heaven. So when you cover yourself, you are following a Divine Principle: unveil yourself for the sake of love! Let's not even consider the guys here, let's look at the girls: when you cover, only those girls see you without the cover who are with you in a "non-mahram"-free environment. Only the girls who make a place for this principle of covering in their hearts, see the covered girl without her cover. <br /><br />You have to remember,<br /><br />You are not a body. You are a soul. You have a body. (C.S. Lewis)<br /><br />We find it difficult to loosen the binds between our heart and this world and tie them to the hereafter because we have this basic perception that I=my body. We think that this face, this hair, these hands, are our identity. They are not. You=your soul. Your soul is so beautiful that it can't be seen in this dunya, just like Allah Himself does not appear in a physical form to be seen by humans in this dunya. Because Allah and the human souls He Created just do not translate into any physical view-able form in this world. They are beyond this world. Soul is veiled by the body in this world, because it has a direct connection with the Unseen. Only when death will remove the physical cover of your body from your soul, will your soul shine to be seen by all. We want our real beauty to be seen by all, right? It's a basic human desire. Well, real beauty is the beauty of the soul that you will wear in the afterlife when all of Creation appears in front of Allah. What would you like to wear on judgement day? You decide that now. The humbler your appearance and manner now, the nobler you appear on that day. And what can be more humbling than suppressing the desire to appear pretty "just like all the other girls" for the sake of the High Power? <br /><br />I like how Shaykh Kamaluddin puts it,<br />"Your heart is the hardware for the akhira. If you try to run the software of the dunya on it, it won't work."Black Abaya Girlhttps://twitter.com/#!/blackabayagirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-40963873661009849292012-01-15T17:23:36.905-08:002012-01-15T17:23:36.905-08:00Assalamu Alaikum Little Aunty and Beutiful Inside ...Assalamu Alaikum Little Aunty and Beutiful Inside Out,<br /> <br />Mash'Allah this blog is amazing. I wish I found it two years back when I was struggling with my decisions to wear the Hijab. I didn't really get any support from anybody, didn't have the courage to go speak to anyone about it. Because none of my family members or friends wore it, or even prayed salah. Although I'm from a Muslim family and a country of 90 % Muslims you won't imagine how hard it is here to face people when you start practicing Islam. But one night I decided that I'll wear it from the next morning no matter what happens. And alhamdulillah, with Allah's help I did. My mom called me mad, and with the passage of time my friends were not my friends anymore. I faced humiliation for months and months. But I felt good thinking about the rewards I'll get from Allah inshÁllah. Now I wear the abaya and the niqab as well alhamdulillah. I'm struggling still. But I'm ready to struggle till I die inshÁllah. Because, prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said,<br /><br />“Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings to the strangers.” [Sahih Muslim]<br /><br />You have to accept the hardship beautiful sister. After all we all Muslims are strangers. You see I don't have the same people around me anymore and I believe they weren't for me anyways. Later I met beautiful sisters in Islam on the internet. I attended Islamic courses, classes and my well wishers multiplied. I'm not alone anymore, Allah is with me, my sisters are with me.Once you take the big step with courage, Allah will help you take the other steps with ease inshÁllah. May Allah make you able to.

I want to thank this sister for asking one of the questions that many of us (read: Me) struggle with. Alas, it's been forever later, and I still don't cover. It's still something I want to do, but haven't. Part of me not doing so is rooted right here in this sister's question. I've been reading a few blog posts lately that I feel are pointed directly at me. This is one of them.Iriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668673392345877820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-1868447359096520062012-01-15T10:00:38.630-08:002012-01-15T10:00:38.630-08:00Salaams.
I felt very emotional reading your post ...Salaams. <br />I felt very emotional reading your post because I felt like it is something that I could have written a few months ago. <br />I just want to say that is possible. Just keep asking Allah (SWT) for help and Insha Allah you will get the courage to become a hijabi.<br />It is still a struggle for me some days but it gets easier. :)Mynamemeansvictorioushttp://mynamemeansvictorious.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458157138768641619.post-66438184720787662632012-01-15T09:01:53.802-08:002012-01-15T09:01:53.802-08:00Dearest Sis!

I thought I would share this hadith that I heard a speaker say and that inspired me (and I found it in Arabic but in only one English site). I hope inshaAllah it is authentic, but for the sake of being honest and true with you, I can't find any information on it. <br /><br />But it is said the Prophet sallah Allahoo alyhee wa salam said:<br /><br />"No day passes in which the sea does not complain to its Lord, saying, "O my Lord! Allow me to drown the children of Adam since they eat what you provide them and worship other than You.” Likewise, the mountains say, "O our Lord! Allow us to collapse over the children of Adam since they eat what you provide them and worship other than You. The earth also says, "O my Lord! Allow me to swallow the children of Adam since they eat what you provide them and worship other than You.” Yet, Allah replies, "Be patient with them. If you had created them, you would have had mercy over them."<br /><br />Allah subhanoo Wa' Tala is so Merciful and patient with us......Don't you want to thank Him for being so Merciful to us? <br /><br />If you want to speak of beauty, then He is Al Jameel....and HE alone has the right to "Pride". He is your Creator and the One who sustains you day in and day out...<br />Do you ever think to yourself that you want to see His beautiful face? <br />And that....more importantly than being beautiful on this earth, is being beautiful on the Day of Judgment (those who are beautiful and whose faces will be shining will be those who are going to eternal bliss).<br /><br />It's not every day that you will want to wear hijab...But when you FEEL that moment, that you want to wear it, don't wait for that moment to come tomorrow. Shaytaan will try to make that feeling go away. Instead, seize that ONE moment and take that leap :)Little Auntiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279010843700950235noreply@blogger.com
