    You are setting an awesome example for your daughter. I appreciate you being open and saying that it is a struggle because being modest in a world that values women taking off more clothing than putting on, it is hard to a a hijabi. But God did tell us this life is a test and we have huge rewards waiting for us. Deen>Dunya. You got this sis! mA you and your daughter are so pretty

    If this video doesn’t relate to y’all like it did to me idk what will 😭 sis you spoke literally everything I felt about putting the hijab back on and how it’s more than a piece of cloth. I’m so inspired by you and with whatever you do I will always support you ❤️ been a supporter of you for two years now and I just love all your content 🤩

    This is very coincidental. I have been thinking about taking it off. I've only started wearing it March and never wore it before. I just feel like I still would wear it but not all the time. It doesn't feel like me but at the same time I should feel free to choose what I feel more comfortable with. Islam says to wear it however you do get I influenced to take it off by my factors. This kind of empowered me to take a decision. And I wanted to say keep doing videos like these. Because a lot of muslim girls/women go though this behind closed doors and struggle. And by sharing your story you definitely gave some clarity to those who will watch it. Like me. Thank you! I appreciate and respect your honesty in this video and I wish you are blessed for all your life no matter what life brings you. You are a good person. Even if you stopped wearing it.♥️💯

    I’m the exact same age as you and I started wearing the hijab by my own choice at 15. My mother wasn’t wearing it at the time. My father doesn’t like it. I am also in the beauty industry and I know how hard it can be to conceal your beauty but believe me it is worth it. I’m not married yet but I always thought when I do get married I would feel different about my hijab (prettier in it) because I would have my husband to show my beauty to. Nowadays when all these influencers are taking it off I’m even stronger in my conviction. Anyone can wear their hair out but it takes a really special person to wear the hijab. It’s good that you’re realizing your desires do not come first and Allah does. I have a close friend who wore it and took it off and then wore it again and promised me the grass wasn’t greener on the other side. I know she is speaking the truth. It is most certainly taking a step back. I’m having problems keeping my prayers but I’m still trying. Wearing the hijab today is a lot easier than it was 10-15 years ago. There are so many new brands and styles we can wear. Stay strong, sister. May Allah reward you immensely, always keep you, and bless you. 💜

      Very similar to me. I started wearing hijab at 15. I dealt with some negative reactions and it's been harder to find a job. I see some pretty interesting reactions and some really weird things happen.

    I started wearing the hijab a couple of months ago and the only reason why I had hesitation around it was because of what people who I don’t even know would think of me. I realized that wearing it goes against societal norms and I actually think that’s one of the reasons why Allah wants us to wear it. Wearing it makes me focus more on my relationship to Allah. Also, I love the way men treat me with the utmost respect when I’m out in Public.. Muslim and non Muslim men.. I also don’t want random man who are not doing anything to add value to my life looking at me in a sexual way.. I notice too as a business woman, men are not distracted by my physical and focus on my intelligence and quality of my work.. no flirting.. etc

    Hey beautiful sister,
    I am sometimes wearing the headscarf and sometimes I don’t. I think god will never force me into something that doesn’t feel good that day. I am convinced that God wants me to wear it when I feel happy in it.
    I am convinced that if you feel today that you are not 100% happy with wearing the hijab and you are still wearing it, it doesn’t mean so much. Because you are not doing it for the right reasons. When you wear it the other day and feel 100% happy with it, then it is really worth it and it is what the hijab is ment to do. (I hope you understand what I mean, because my English is not very good).
    Everyday that you choose to wear it, feels special. Wearing it and really enjoying it, that is in my opinion all that matters. And when you have a day like: ‘I don’t know today but I don’t feel the hijab’ please don’t force yourself into it. There will be another day that you will feel it, and in that day you can show your god how much you loved the choice you made.♥️
    God will always guide you. Not by force but by love and good feelings. Use your heart!
    Whatever your choice will be, I respect that. ♥️

    Been feeling like this lately and I don't know why... I wore it since I was in kindergarten and took it off mid way through high school. Then I decided to wear it a few days into university. I was happy with my decision, because this time it was my choice. Some days are hard wearing it and others you feel very blessed and beautiful. I was sure that I wanted to wear it again, but now im contemplating. I don't want to be that person that puts it on and takes it off when they feel like it, I want to make a decision and stick with it, otherwise I disappoint everyone, myself and more importantly God.

    I get what you’re feeling, and the fact that you feel so much responsibility is amazing. For me, I started wearing it at 13 and I only wore it because all of my friends started wearing it and I didn’t wanna feel left out. And the last 2 years of university I started having doubts and thoughts about wearing it, and I felt like I didn’t wear it for the right reasons and didn’t feel good or like myself while wearing it, and I hated feeling that way. Once I graduated university I told my dad and family that I was thinking of taking it off and he said he wouldn’t stop me because it’s my decision and it’s something between me and Allah but he just wouldn’t like it. I started gradually taking it off when I was with him and he eventually accepted it and even took me to get a new ID picture. I do feel more like myself now and I feel like I’m making up for lost years in a weird way, but again, that is my experience and I agree that I wouldn’t wanna make anyone feel like that is the right decision.
    But I really appreciate your openness about the topic and the struggle and your point of view about it.

    I completely understand. I started wearing the hijab when I was 14 years old. I’m 32 years old now. I’ve been wearing it for so long that it’s become my identity and that’s the main reason I won’t take it off. I don’t feel like I’m a good enough Muslim to be representing Islam, though. That’s the only thing that really bothers me about wearing it, but when I think about taking it off I imagine how depressed and lost I would feel. I’m proud of you for speaking up about this topic. InshAllah you’ll find your peace with wearing the hijab. But if you do decide to take it off, I would still respect you 👍🏼.

    I appreciate your honesty sis. I feel the same struggle within myself. In all honesty my first time wearing hijab was forced. There was no explanation, no talk, or anything of the sort. One day during our summer break from school, my father told me and my sisters if we wanted to play outside we would have to wear the hijab or stay inside. That's it. Mind you this was straight after 9/11 had happened so you can imagine how horrible that experience was. I wore it until my first few years of college then took it off. It is really sad and shameful to admit but I have a deep hatred for hijab. I hate that I have to cover myself up because the world is full of sick men. Hijab is supposed to protect us from doing bad things and from unwanted male attention yet I was still sexually abused. It's a messed up way to think but my experience with it has been very negative. After doing my own research, I NOW know that hijab is more than covering myself up from men but it is for Allah and it is what he loves. After all, His creations such as precious stones and diamonds are hidden deep within earth i.e. pearls in clams, diamonds deep in mines, etc. Allah really does honor us and we should continue to do what he asks because we want to please him. Yet how can I say I am muslim and hate something that Allah loves so much? I honestly sit with these types of thoughts and feel really bad.... I do not know when I will wear it again, IF I will wear it again or most importantly when my hatred for it will end. It is funny (not actually) that I saw this because I have been thinking about the hijab for the past few years. I keep seeing videos that help me understand it from both sides of the spectrum. It is really refreshing to see someone admit their struggle with it and still try to go forward with it in a positive manner. May Allah make it easier for you and may Allah help us all who are struggling. Amen 🤲🏾

    As a revert, I gave up many things and I see the sense in why each thing in Islam is haram and why others are encouraged to do in Islam. Islam makes sense even in the aspects where it goes against our desires/the lifestyle we’re used to. Doing it for Allah is the number one reason to wear hijab but see it this way as well.. not everyone is deserving to have access to your beauty and you being modest forces people to see you beyond your physical features. You’re not some physically attractive women. You are much more than that. Much more valuable than your looks. People are forced to acknowledge your personality and your efforts because they don’t have access to your beautiful physical features. Also less men will cat call you and attempt to make moves on you. It really does serve as protection. Do not be a slave to societies terms and standards. Be a slave to your creator. He is all knowing and the most just

    Thank you so much for being open and honest about your struggles with wanting to take it off despite wearing for years. I am struggling to keep mine on. I’ve only been wearing for 2 months l. I don’t have any hijabi friends yet to turn to. I took it off in the past few days but desire to keep it on. The summer heat is recalling getting to me and the AC in my car broke down. It was easy to wear in the beginning but has slowly started to get harder. Why? I feel bad for taking it off. I don’t know what to do. Any advice?

    Hi I'm a muslim woen , and I know the hijab descends from Amramrite (Jewish) tradition hence why Mary wore a hijab . However I do not feel the hijab is an instruction from God .(I have read the Quran + interpretations) However I feel as If I take off y scarf I will be made vulnerable as society would see me as a "muslim girl who has gone astray" .And boys at my college would try to use me because they do not understand the hijab is not mandatory .I am strengthening my connection with God so when I do take off my hijab , I will be more resistant towards men approaches which I know will happen more .But I am as halal with or without the headscarf .May Allah (swt) guide you and keep your soul at rest .Surah Al Anam , Each soul is responsible for their own actions .You cannot guide anyone hun xx and if you think removng hijab is haram well if the devil causes us to forget we should remember nd turn our backs on someone elses actions / traditions .I don't think hijab is mandatory but dressing modestly and covering jewelllry and no makeup (outside) is mandatory ,, peace and blessings with you .I'd love to talk more with you .xx

    personally mine will come off once I have a husband who is okay with it, I would only wear it when I go out alone or when I mix with strange men and I would wear it for worship or services but it is okay to take it off if you are already married, won't your husband protect you? it won't stop a proper muslim man from seeing you because you are already married and teach that same to your daughter, single women should wear a Hijab until she doesn't have to. Have no guilt, and remember god is reasonable. It is the permission from god that you feel. The Hijab is for multiple reasons, in your case, you do not have to honor those. Just my take.
