My Hijab Story | The Truth

[@kaitlynn2368]

I’m not Muslim but I find myself staring at Hijabis just out of respect and awe. I find it so beautiful and I always have to remind myself to stop looking so that they don’t think I’m judging them! 😂♥️

Even though I'm not muslim, I've always admire muslim women as they are brave enough to put out there their religion and being more prone to judgement. I'm a catholic woman and occasionally I wear a mantle/headscarf but it can be hard as people my age think I'm too orthodox or too old fashion. Despite the criticism, I continue in my journey into being more modest and channels like yours are really helpful and keep me motivated 💖💖💖

[@zeenathf811]

way to go! Don’t care what people think. Keep up your modesty.

[@meandyou3336]

Keep up your modesty ...this is what freedom is.....poeple are free to go out almost naked ...so don't be afraid to get your freedom to be modest!!!!.💪💪💪...god bless.

Sikh boys wear Turbans in school, they face million x more discrimination than Muslim girls as no one picks on girls anyway. So I would say they are the brave ones, the Media helps women not men who face more discrimination. I doubt this muslim girl would ever help them, as world is about the Media.

[@victoriapiace3479]

I am Christian and modesty in clothing is one of the many things I respect in your religion. When I see a woman in hijab honestly I will stare but because I love the look and I love to see the woman’s modesty and her respect for God and her religion. Your hijab and the way you dress is so pleasing for the eye and makes me want to dress more modestly ☺️ Love you ❤️

Are you saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ? John 3:16-18 KJB 1 Corinthians 11 11 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

It's interesting because I was searching for "modest Christian swimwear" last night, and nothing that came up was modest at all but when I looked up Muslim swimwear, I found a lot. It makes me sad that so many Christian women don't even consider modesty anymore. Hopefully we can help set example for other Christian women.

@@jesussaves6625 I think modesty is nice however it doesn't define what a woman is we are more than just our clothes and the Muslim religion I know pretty well my best friend is Muslim and they see women a lot as sex symbols and we are more than that That's why you will never find Christian clothes because we work on our hearts not our Image

I’m actually thinking of wearing hijab inshallah this summer in a month,I absolutely love hijab it looks so beautiful. I’m in high school,next year I’m going into my senior year. I’ve always wanted to wear hijab but I always felt like no one would like me anymore and people would treat me differently. Honestly I have changed my mind set and try to ignore what people think of me and only want Allah to approve of me.Inshallah I am a good person to Allah.I don’t care what people think anymore Alhamdulilah.This has really helped me and inspired me to wear the hijab:)❤️

[@ItsMeDudie]

Dania Alzouhbi Salam sister! There is an hadith which says: “If you do something to gain Allahs love (like in this case the hijab), but the people doesnt like it, Allah will make people like it and accept it”. This happend to me, when I started with the hijab, I was afraid if people around me will accept me etc, subhanallah not did they only accept me but they liked me more when I started wearing the hijab. So the hadith its true! If you do something for the sake of Allah, but people does not like it, remember Allah is the turner of all hearts, He will make them accept your choice! So start with hijab dear sister, you have nothing to loose, you will only gain so much more!!! 💚

[@daniaalzouhbi6850]

Dudi Salam sister! You have a great point.Doing anything for the sake of Allah can really make you gain a lot more than expected. Allah swt is the our helper and protecter. I never stop thanking Allah.Allah always have a plan for you,might not be you’re plan but it’s Allah plan so I will have patience and imaan in myself. May Allah be pleased with you sister and bless you and keep you safe❤️ I love when sisters guide and help sisters and you my sister have opened my mind a little more to do what’s right and to do what’s right for Allah swt.When I wear the hijab inshallah I will keep this Hadith in mind🤲🏻❤️

Their daughters as well were not hijab supporters and they didn't wear modest clothes at all .. I just wanna tell you how much happy , proud and comfortable I was when I wore it ... And I really don't care about their opinion anymore I haven't seen them with my hijab yet But whatever they are gonna say I am proud with what I did and inshallah I will not take it off no matter what .. Cause I really love it from the bottom of my heart and it really made me closer to God 🙏 Soooo If you are worried to wear hijab or really not sure about what will be people and society's reaction I wanna tell you that it is all about you You are the one who is wearing it No matter what anyone's reaction will be It is your relationship with God Do not let anyone decide how you are gonna look and how you are gonna spend your life And thank you Leena for sharing your story it surely helped a lot of girls including me ♥️ Edit : It has been a month since I wore hijab and literally I feel wayssss better .. my mental health seems really better and relieved ..💕 Edit 2 : It almost a year and half now !!

I have been a hijabi for solid 7 years and it has definitely become a part of me. One time i was with my girls and a lecturer (a woman) saw me without the hijab, she told me i look so much prettier without it in front of my classmates. I was seriously upset to hear such remarks because hijab is not about fashion nor is it about covering imperfections -- it is beyond that. I cant imagine anyone who just started wearing hijab and what they might feel about it. At times i do want to dress in a certain way that doesn't require hijab but i know i will never feel good about it. Im so glad that i have become one with my hijab and it has grow me into a woman that is not only strong but empowered. It is not a piece of cloth, it is my skin. I hope to whoever is reading this, life is a journey on its own. When it comes to faith, we should never question. Hijab is not about beautifying oneself but its a symbol of empowerment❤️

[@CaitlinRoseBradley215]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm a Syrian Orthodox Christian and I also kept having thoughts of the hijab. The tradition in my church of wearing head coverings stopped before I was born, but a few years ago when we started getting more visitors from Russian churches or from the Middle East who were wearing a hijab I felt like it was definitely time. It was summer and we tend to have lower attendance during the summer, so I had time to get used to wearing it before everyone was back in September. I just found your videos and am really excited to try the styles you show on your channel! Thanks again!

[@languagelover161]

I think dressing modestly, both for women and men, gives us more dignity and allows others to take us more seriously. You can tell a lot about a person by how they dress. Modesty means we are not trying to draw sexual attention to ourselves and men will love us for who we are, rather than just for the sexual gratification that we can provide. I always find I respect people more and am in awe of those who dress modestly and smartly. I love your style so much!

awwwh. I have been pushing the feeling of wearing hijab for a few months too. I have been struggling with "how", "what if" and all that. seeing your video gives me the motivation to try. so happy for you :)

[@pleascstop9695]

Wearing a hijab is such a big step, especially when you take the decision alone, without the convincing or forcing of anyone. I started wearing it this year and let me tell you, I’m in love with it- funny how a year ago I never wanted it but now? It’s definitely the best choice I’ve ever made

[@taniafarghali5639]

I remember the first time I "test-drove" wearing my hijab:) I went to Vancouver for the day with a friend and I was on the sky-train talking and laughing with them. An older man was getting off the train w/ his bike and as he passed me he said "thank you for letting me see your smile", lol:) It was so sweet - like a nice sign that I was doing the right thing. When I got back home, for a few hours, I didn't want to take it off:) A week or so later, I started wearing it again and have been wearing it ever since - that was over 12 years ago, Alhamdollilah:)

I totally understand how you feel. I also had enough of guys staring at me in a sexual way as if I am an object or a piece of meat. I could not stand it any longer. Things got a lot better for me when I started dressing modestly. I do not cover my hair because I am a Christian but i do not wear provocative clothing anymore. I still get such stares sometimes but it is much less now. God wants us to dress modestly because this is best for us and it made a big difference in my life. Kudos Leena:)

You’re so beautiful! I’m Catholic, but I started wearing a head covering during mass and I can totally relate to the feeling like everyone is staring. I’m still in the self-conscious phase.

Dear Leena, Your video made my day in 2020, I was badly depressed, that was not good period of my life ... I was born as Muslim, Alhamdulillah, but I was not in hijab. Suddenly I found your videos, began discovering how beautiful is to be covered, how piecefull are you with yourself in hijab. Your hijab styles inspired me to be also hijabi lady! Thank you for sharing such good energy! I will be very happy if you visit Uzbekistan, Tashkent city, it is honour to me to invite you and your family to our home!

Ever since I watched your videos I want to dress more respectfully and modest, such an encouragement

[@shywifreeky]

You see the stares that people give as if they're judging us? Dad told me that on the day of judgement, they will be there to give their shahada/witness that you indeed were there defying every hardship in order to please Allah. They'll say that Leena, during dunya, wore the hijab and was the only one there and I saw her! The first day of my freshman was the day I wore hijab and went to class. I never EVER felt so self-conscious in my life. The school was full of students; seniors...and some of them were my old classmates. Believe me, I had this big pain on my chest and felt almost like fainting. I couldn't gather my courage to face my class while even being late on the first day, yet I couldn't imagine myself taking it off either. It indeed gets better with time as I gain confidence day by day. Mum would always tell me, whenever she sees me being weak and unconfident "Resist, verily God's award will be worth it"

[@ami_not_okay]

Hey Leena, My name is Amina and I'm 12 years old. Your story and your videos inspire me so much as a person, a girl and a Muslim. I have always had this desire to wear a hijab like other girls look up to their quinceanera I look up to the day I start wearing the hijab. Even though I know that people aren't gonna treat me any different (in a bad way) if I wear a hijab I just feel so insecure. growing up I was always looking for the acceptance and love of others and my parents which has led me to being this insecure now. I live in Qatar and I go to an international school full of people all over the world and adapting to their cultures and traditions have made me drift away from my own country and religion and who I am as a person. As an Indian too, in our culture hair and skin is really cherished for women and some say it's their best features and trying to live up to the expectations of my Indian relatives and my own religion has made me feel so confused. I've just realized how much I've just said but to summarize a bit; thank you. Thank you for speaking your mind and helping your and the next generation. thank you for being a role model to all of us, Leena. With Love Amina

[@rahimakhatoon5010]

Hey Leena, I just wanted to let you know that you’ve inspired me to dress more modestly. Although I’ve been wearing a hijab since a young age it wasn’t a choice. However, even though wearing a hijab I wouldn’t dress modestly all the time. But since discovering you, not only am I inspired I find it more easier to style outfits in a modest way. Although you’ve caused a massive dent in bank balance.

I appreciate the boldness in your commitment to dress modestly. I am also required as a bible believing Christian to cover my head when I pray but I feel strange doing it as most women don’t. Love your videos leena and you as well ♥️

I think modesty is the way however dressing modest Is not Define the kind of woman you are For example there could be women that covers up from head to toe and there just evil and being promiscuous And their women that dress more revealing and are super kind Married one man woman And I also don't believe women are just sex objects and I kinda get that from the Muslim religion we are more than just what we wear That's why I don't judge a book by its cover

[@blessedwbeauty03]

@@karinagarcia3702 i know im super late replying, but i like your comment. I’m a hijabi and wanted to say I understand your point of view as far as modesty. Modesty is a state of mind as well as non revealing clothing of choice . I know covering muslim women who act “immodest” (and thats in quotations because who am i to judge their behavior) and I’ve seen non muslim women act with such modesty and female grace that i find myself mentally taking lessons lol.

Hey Leena, I loved the part where you were talking about wanting to please God, I have found much comfort in him and desire to please him as well. But I found that I was not able to please him even though I try the best that I can. I have found great joy in the words of the prophet Isa in the Injil, if you ever struggle or feel dishearten with not being able to live up the life that God requires of us, study and listen to what Isa has said.

[@mahtava5964]

My (compulsory) hijab story: Growing up in Iran I had to wear hijab since age of 6 when wanted to go to the school 😞 in my teenage years I never felt safe and comfortable on the streets because I developed the phobia of being arrested by the police for my half hijab (eventhough I was never arrested). day by day it took me more away from my religion for example since I didn't want to cover my head while praying I just simply didn't pray. Hijab was one of the reasons I decided to leave my country just for living a free and calm life! I am glad I had my mother's support because my dad didn't want me to leave ( I was his only child) but my mother did all the job for me so I had to leave my home, family, friends and eveything which was valuable for me. It's really interesting how hijab feels different on different people. What feels freeing for you was one of the most horrible things of my life! I'm glad your country allows you to be who you want and dress the way you like and I hope one day every woman dresses the way they want.

I'm so happy for you. I'm glad you did what you felt like and didn't let religion rule over your life. I think hijab should be a choice rather than something that you wear to please allah. Proud of you girl.

Unfortunate one.

[@yeshablogs4046]

@Mahta V A It is definitely a choice,💛 I too wore it at a really really young age (mostly due to ALOT of pressure) but when I became a teenager I would take it off outside since i felt self-conscious and just, in general, wanted to fit in with everyone else. Some days I would wear it to please my parents then other days I would take it off when going out with friends.🤦‍♀️(I know I was a dumb teenager) But now I'm older and truly understand the value and responsibility of it so when I did decide to put it back on permanently, (as my own choice) I felt A LOT more confident. I can really relate being forced to wear it at a young age and If i have kids I would never put them in that position. Anyway, clearly I'm in no position to judge you and do respect your decision to not to wear it but I was wondering if you would ever give it a second chance and put the hijab back on, I mean I really wouldn't blame you since your experience really does sound traumatizing Xx 💖
