^^^^^^^Did any of you girls party when they first start wearing the hijab?

In Iran thats what they do it in schools and thats what happened in my case. As for Suppli (my sis) when she turned nine, we where no longer in Iran, so we did a lil party for her in the mosque with some other girls here in Aussie land.

What did you guys do? How did u celebrate this? Any gifts?

wow mashallah you all started wearing hijab at so young age!! Do you all live in the west...? I have to say i didnt see much girls wearing hijab at such a young age here!!

sounds nice saraab , a party for the first time u wear hijab .. Inshallah i will do that with my own daughters if Allaah blesses me with them... so did you really see it as a "happy thing" ?

^In London the Muslims are very isolated from the wider community, they keep themselves to themselves, so that's why its not as hard as it seems to wear hijab in the West.

I started at age about 8 - was on Eid day and I had just fasted for the whole of Ramadhan for the first time.

I started when I was 7 and a half...before that I used to beg and beg my mum to let me wear it mainly at school..so I was allowed to wear it at mosque and stuff..but when I was 7 and a half I started wearing it fully and LOVED it
Can't even imagine for a second stepping out without my hijaab!!!...SubhanAllah at our beautiful religion

When I was 9. But I wasn't allowed to wear it at school permanently, only if I had a Music lesson (cause the teacher was a guy).

i was 9 i love being a hijabi, it makes you feel part of something i feel so naked without my hijab lol, like part of me is missing.

[Comprehending]

I had a dream that I was outside without hijab and in a dress. The feeling I had just after I woke up from that dream was one of the worst feeling's EVER. I felt so naked, so disgusting. I can't imagine taking off my hijab but then again my hijab now isn't exactly perfect.

I wore it when i was 7 but took it off sometimes

I think when i was 8 i took it more seriously and stayed with it

Just because a girl/woman doesn't wear hijab it doesn't mean she's not pious or immodest and just because a woman wears hijab it doesn't mean she's a better muslimah. At the end of the day, it's only the intention that counts. For example, one sister told me a story that a woman didn't know how to pray. She only knew how to do ruku'. So she went out in the desert and even though she didn't know how to pray she just bowed down in ruku'. But since her intention was SO pure, even the trees in the desert (this was a special desert so it had trees as well) bowed down with her! We need to stop judging people, only Allah (swt) can judge.

I started wearing hijab when I was 5 but I took it more seriously when I was 13...

unfortunately i am still not wearing hijab.. i converted to Islam 1 month and 5 days ago, but i am still not so brave to wear hijab.... very bad situation in my country.... there is around 500 muslims here, but all of them are sunnis i do not contact with them.. at least i do not contact with them in good way....     so i am still searching for power to start do it.....

Salam, I know you wrote your post on the forum a long time ago now, but how are things for you now as a Muslim? Are you wearing hijab now? I wish you all the best dear sister inshallah!

since this is a hijab topic i hope this question isnt offtopic
What do you feel like when u wear the hijab? is it different from before when u didnt wear the hijab?
Does hijba make you more (feel) equal? Does it make you feel secure?


ps: dont be offended by these questions i just need the answer to understand how women feel like when they wear hijab.

when you wear hijab in the West , you feel the difference ,because you're unique
I feel protected and more respected sometimes.
Other times,People judge and don't respect ..not because they hate Islam..but they hate the people who represent it . Ex: Bad Muslims .
So when i wear hijab , i make sure I smile to everybody at the street,help the old people when they cross the street ,to represent Islam properly . Sometimes,Many sisters wear tight clothes,judge others ..and have a bad aklhaq , this is what gives islam a bad representation .May Allah guide them

thank you sister for ur response now i understand how women feel when they wear hijab
i always thought that hijab shows uniqueness of women that show they are different (manner wise) from other people.
