AFAIK Hijab is the only wajib thing for which qadha can not be done. :shaitan:

[ummleyla]

Since I am a convert I started step by step with it when I was 23,but permanently when I was 24.I  wish I found islam earlier though.That I became muslim when I was teenager.My oldest daughter started when she was about 8,5 permanently,but used it sometimes before that to get used to it.F.ex in ramadan and stuff.She goes to a school where around 90%of the kids are muslims and so many wear it so nobody teases her for it.In her class only 2 girls are ethnic Norwegian.My daughter is Norwegian/Iranian.Probably the only Norwegian/Iranian girl in Norway with hijab hehe.Cause most of the Iranians who get kids with Norwegian women, they don't practice islam and the kids get Norwegian names(Fredrik,Henrik,Anders,Christine,Lisa,Marlen,Mia etc etc) and have christenings...

[bonjer_gal]

me and family are born moslem, but part of this type of the ignorant one. when i was 14, my mom juz started wearing heejab. and of course she was expecting me to do the same thing. she even pushed me pretty hard. i wasnt the type of person who can be pushed to do sumthing i dont understand (infact, i'm still this type till now ). so i ran off my house for about hmm...2 days. then i came back to our house again, since my mom promised me that she will never push me again. but finaly, after struggling with myself... i wore heejab voluntarily when i was 15.

I was 23... But I converted to Islam when I was 20...

[Eurybia]

i started wearing it  when i was  almost 16  1/2 yrs old .... wore it is my 11th grade,  and i m 20 now. but its really awesome to see that some sisters started doing it at a very young age.

[Amena]

Asalyam Aleikum sisters!

I am wearing hijab about 3 weeks. I start it when i revert to Shia. When i came to Islam about 3 years ago, i become Sunni automatically  (Hanafi), cz all Central Asian countries and Turkey are Sunni.

I wish i started hijab since i am muslim.

No one knows from my family i  start wearing hijab, because i am abroad now. When i told them i am willing to , they try to stop me.. ( my mom and aunt are muslims , not wearing hijab ) ..
I knew i wont have any support from them.. I was even so upset,cz i am doing right thing and  no one supports me.
So i decide not to tell them for some time.. Once i wear hijab,i feel soo confident, now i feel like i did it all my life.

So grateful to Allah!

When Did U Start Wearing The Hijab

How do we WEAR a DISTANCE?

Everywhere I see hijab, or the concept of DISTANCE from na mehrams, being compared to measly objects made of fabric.  When will people learn to use proper expressions as it's much emphasized upon in Islam?


One doesn't WEAR A HIJAB - one OBSERVES hijab.

i didnt started at 9 i was lil late ... i used to wear it b4 9 but tht wasnt actually for the purpose ... my uncle told me later to wear it but i didnt took it seriously ... i was ashamed of it .. then since every moharram i used to go to majalis with scarf on my head i decided i shud continue this and even when majalis and moharram was over i continued putting scarf ... so tht no one can make a difference:P (lol, thats what i thought then) but my school didnt allow to wear me scarf so it wasnt prope,r and i didnt had words to as permis,sion until i finished my high school .. now alhamd in college if anyone tells anything i have enuf knwledge to fight them

[sabz]

wore it wen i was 9, but i kept forgetting it, like once mum told me to get the mail, i went without scarf.. and came bak running

[LastChance]

I think i was almost 14, on the Wilidat of Bibi Fatima . I didn't receive an amazing amount of support with it, except from my mother and her mother. I'm so happy that i put it on that day, because i never stopped observing hijab after it

Ramadan of 2007 I started wearing it. I'm 27.  A bit late in the game and with some familial struggle, but one of the best decisions I've made.
