This video brought many tears to my eyes. I am 27yo living in Brazil (a definitely non-Muslim country) and I revert to Islam on October 5th. I dont have any Muslim friends in here and it is so weird to feel like the 1 different person in the entire place. It has a been a lonely yet beautiful journey. At the end Allah never leave us really alone... I just wish I felt safe to wear the hijab but still it is such a struggle for me. I decided to wear it for some places just as a "start" like when I go to the gym. And maybe it will get easier with time. Thank you so much for this video. It made me reflect a lot. May Allah make it easier for all of us sisters struggling with it.

So according to your religion if I want to pray to God I have to pray to him through Jesus or another one of your saints ? Why not invoke God directly ? When Jesus (pbuh) was on earth how did he speak to God ? Why does it say in Matthew 26:39 : "Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” ? That means Jesus (pbuh) was praying to God in the way muslims pray, by invoking God directly and bowing his face to the ground- not in the way your own religion is telling christians to pray. And this is just one of fundamental inconsistencies in Christianity.@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus1

Even though I hate seeing sisters wearing hijab that doesn't cover their necks but I have started slowly I'd advise you some below which might include it BUT know that I DO NOT support hijab like that and it's not the right way according to Islam. I'm gonna assume you don't wear modest clothing either (for the sake of more info) so how are you gonna start?? 1. Intention: That it is an obligation of allah and you wanna please him as he loves you so much. You can create one of your own like I did. 2. Start learning about hijab (religious and historically) be aware of misinformation. There's a girl name farrah or something who has a video on that (just some sister talks ☺) 3. Start wearing modest clothing (too awkward? Than be trendy and just try to cover fully except hair) 4. Wearing loose clothes after getting comfortable 5. Start covering hair a little bit cover chest a little bit 6. Cover full neck, chest and hair while wearing loose clothes. You don't have to wear abaya 7. Now is the time to wear abaya or customise long loose garment with hijab fully covering neck and chest. Pls don't take covering chest as extreme as I used to not cover it which is wrong. Make up isn't allowed either but I do it which I know it's wrong and in future I'll leave it in sha Allah. I have also planned to wear niqab after marriage as I wear it at home (when I'm meeting my neighbours or passing by a window) and it's easy for me because I live in a muslim majority country. Just know every journey is different but keep on learning. I hope you won't let your desire win over clear obligations (just be aware of waswasa). More important *BE PATIENT* if you clicked on this video it's a sign from Allah ❤️. I stated wearing it because of FRANCE AND INDIA 😂 jokes on these countries 😏 because I felt like a hypocrite who has the freedom to choose hijab YET muslimah's around the who wants to fulfil an obligation of allah can't and that feeling was awful for me. So yeah everytime I get waswasa I tell myself the core intention of starting it in the first place.

Salam, I’m 25 years old now, I wore the hijab at the age of 18. It is the best decision that I’ve ever made. I always wanted to take that step but I was so hesitant until I made the decision to really think about it just with myself no one else. I did not tell anyone that I was considering it because I wanted it to be purely my own decision and no one else’s influence because at the end of the day it’s me putting it on. I didn’t want anyone to ‘convince’ me or push me into it. So I took my time, really thought about it and its whys and hows. And alhamdulillah years later I’m so thankful and grateful that Allah loved me and chose me to be a hijabi. Now of course shaytan will try to convince you otherwise, before you put it and during putting it and even after you put it. But it is an ongoing journey towards Allah so always have your faith greater than satan’s whisperings. May Allah guide us all🤍

As someone who also wore hijab from very young (aged 11) I thought I'd never take it off. There was point where I would argue with my parents to allow me to wear jilbab or to try wearing niqab. After a lot of different struggles, when I was about 18/19 I took it off. I struggled with the Deen for a bit but Alhamdulillah in the last year I wore it again. And now I always aim to never be arrogant about my relationship with Allah. To believe even quietly to yourself that you're a good Muslim and you may never falter in your obligations can be the very thing to hinder you. Never believe that you are a good enough Muslim or better than some people. Always know that you are a human and humans make mistakes. The only thing that will ever keep you strong in your Deen and your practices are your sincerity and the will if Allah. May Allah make us of those who He allows into jannah. And who He gives strength and hidayah in this life. Ameen 🤍

Hi, sweet Nari. I was in your shoes not too long ago. When I was in high school, university, and well even in law school, I was constantly struggling and finding it really difficult to wear the scarf. When I entered my last year of law school, something just woke me up and made me firm on it. I had this realization that this world is so temporary, and I may die at any moment. I told myself I didn't want my soul to reach the hereafter without observing the hijab in this dunya. That changed my life, and for 10 years, I have worn it every day and am still going strong! I hope it gets easier for you. Your heart is in the right place. I believe in you. *hugs* 🥹🌹🤍

As a revert living in the West (islamophobic France), it ain’t easy. I put it on 1 month after I reverted (1 year ago) and am not planning to take it off regardless of what companies might tell me in the future. If I am not allowed to wear it, I am not allowed to be myself and always have to follow up to their standards. I love to swim but I am unable to swim as no swimming pool allows burkini. It is such a sad reality but giving up something for the sake of Allah makes everything a bit easier as Allah will never let you down. I would rather suffer in this dunya than having to face Allah and say I could not wear hijab because of my surroundings. Not only the West is a challenge, fellow Muslims are questioning reverts whenever they dont speak Arabic as if becoming Muslim comes with the Arabic language which can feel very lonely the more times it happens but in the end, we only have to rely on Allah and no one else. May Allah strengthen all of us sisters to accept and follow His commands to strive to become the best version of ourselves in this dunya in order to face Him when He is pleased with us.

I agree, easing into changes make you more comfortable with them. You can discover a suitable style by gradually easing into wearing the hijab. Setting reverting to Islam as a scarier decision than it is also sets people up for failure. For example I was given the “you could die any day” talk about reversion and it didn’t help me to revert at all. These things should happen on your own and we should help to encourage people to build up their confidence! :)

As a hijabi myself, I respect my sisters in faith who don't wear it, and I don't treat them any differently from the women who do wear the headscarf. I think what the first commenter meant was that in our religion, the headscarf is deemed obligatory - so we don't tolerate others saying that this is not something that is a commandment on women. With that said, all of us do understand that any commandment in faith is observed with love and complete submission only when it comes from the heart. 🌹✨️

Thank You for covering this topic. I completely agree with the idea of easing into it and also for society to not make a big deal if someone wears the hijab or dupatta ( head covering is often referred to as wearing a dupatta on your head, which is pretty much a norm in the subcontinent) or not. I come from Pakistan, and wearing a dupatta on your head on some days, and not on others, nobody really thinks twice and I really appreciate having the freedom to do that as a woman. there have been instances where I wear the dupatta going out, and no one in my friends or family think it odd so if a society has an overall idea of modesty and encourages it, it's often easier to start wearing it permanently as well. Just thought to share it here and appreciate your covering the topic from so many angles and perspectives.

I was a hijabi for many years until I was raped by another member of my Masjid in 2011. I remember trying to cover myself with every inch of fabric at the time of the incident and then took it off a couple years later and left Islam. I tried putting it on again when I came back to Islam in 2020 but I felt like a fraud and was still living a sinful life, and couldn’t continue. Back to Islam, praying, and wanting to commit again but don’t want to do it unless I’m committed. It’s been a process.

@SakinaAZahraa7 ай бұрын
@@alexia964 I have returned to Islam; I’m not sure if you saw my whole reply. As one can imagine there was some religious trauma there. The man who raped me attended the same masjid as me. My daughter and I became homeless after I reported the crime; I had a female Muslim roommate and she said, “You make Islam look bad because you shouldn’t have been alone with him in the first place”. (I gave him a ride home because his car was in the shop) We were later ostracized, no one would talk to me in the community, and we spent 6 months in a homeless shelter. The rape kit took 2 1/2 years to be processed and come back and then another 2 years to go to court. He finally took a guilty plea just before we were going into jury selection. Was forced to register as a sex offender, serve prison time, and then was deported back to his country of origin. Being a prosecuting witness in a rape case was re-traumatizing. Every time I went to court I had to see him and be reminded of it all and the hijab was supposed to be my protection from Allah; but it didn’t prevent him from raping me, from sodomizing me! And then I lost everything, my community, place to worship, my home. I asked myself why Allah abandoned me. It took many years and lots of therapy to learn that abandonment from Muslims does not mean abandonment from Allah. I would rather be a lonely Muslim, and have Allah, than be a pagan with many friends. ALHUMDULLILAH FOR EVERYTHING! I am so grateful to be practicing my faith again and I ask Allah to help me heal further so I can wear it again.

the fact i watched the entire "changing the wardrobe" section thinking that ive been wearing the same abaya since ages (its almost gonna be a year). But ig its about what clothes you find comfort in. i may find comfort in my same old abaya and others may find it in dressing elegantly but modestly. Difference of opinion people, difference of opinion. Many people are unable to grasp the fact that others may wear the hijab 'wrongly' quote on quote but thats just not the case. Its their journey towards the hijab and all we can and should do is to advise them respectfully just like how jasmine did in this video. thanks jasmine for being such a vocal advocate for normalising people's journey of their hijab. ur doing an awesome job keep it up!

I was forced into hijab when i was 10 years old and when my family moved to the USA from the middle east I took it off at age 16. I moved back to the middle east last year (after 22 years in the USA) and I was under a lot of pressure from all my extended family to wear the hijab again. They are not religious but they care so much about “looking religious” for example they won’t care if my face is full of make up and they don’t care if I pray 5 times a day or not but they care so much if I am not wearing the hijab and judge me for it. i did wear it for maybe a month because of all the presume I got from them, and also all the talk behind my back that no one dares to say to my face. I hated it so I took it off again after one month. Now, after 8 months i live far away from my extended family, i am still in the middle east but in a different country. I have been going to the mosque to pray taraweeh and I leave my house wearing the hijab and i do not take it off till i get back from the mosque. So i started feeling guilty that when i go to the doctor or store i am not wearing hijab. So just a few days ago I started wearing the hijab and it’s my own decision with no pressure or judgment from anybody and i like it actually and God willing I will stick with it. My message to anyone wants their daughter to wear hijab is do not pressure them because yes they might wear it but they will hate it. You want your daughter to wear the hijab for God not out of pressure or fear from you. Teach your daughter to love hijab without forcing it on her

And before social media I never realised how super blessed I am to have such supportive circumstances to wear hijab. Now I see girls struggling hard for hijab specifically in the countries where Muslim community is in minority. Hats off for all the girls who made it practical with all the huddles.

Hijaab is NOT only just a scarf/ piece of cloth. It can be a hat/ hoodie. The day I stopped giving a toss about what others think I wear as I please on my head, if I am getting too hot near to fainting then i will take it OFF. My mental health is my responsibility. Especially now that i am having pre- menopausal issues.

Interesting points that you brought up. I’m originally from Afghanistan. I’ve noticed that the vast majority of Afghan girls who arrive in the west as refugees, take off their hijab almost immediately or after a few years. Reason? Well, one could be that they weren’t religious to begin with. But the very main reason, that I truly believe in, is that Afghans have been so traumatised throughout generations of invaders coming to the country and forcing their way of life. We’ve been dictated for so many generations about what to wear and what to not wear, that eventually it gets too painful to handle. For example, during the Soviet era, Afghan women were heavily discouraged to hear the hijab. But only a few years later, when the Mujahiddin took power, Afghan women were pretty much forced to wear the hijab. During this time, there were lots of Saudi men coming to Afghanistan. I think Iranian women suffer from this issue too. It’s extremely unusual to see an Iranian woman wearing the hijab in the west. I think it’s due to the history of Arabs attacking ancient Persia and forcing Islam on the Persians.

Another option if the photos are special is to blur the area around your face where your hair is. Personally I would do that for anything that wasn't a selfie. If it was a selfie I don't care but if it's got friends and family that are no longer with me. FB can be kinda like a digital photo album. And taking down those photos may be really hard.

I want ro wear it more in my daily life. i want to transition into it but everytime i wear it in transitional way i get policed by "real" hijab's. They are so rude. Some even touch me and rip it off and scold me for wearing it wrong or like the girls in iran protesting against the proper way. I try to cover all my hair, sometimes my hair line shows (undercaps are hard). The worst part of the hijab is the neck apart i like it loose because i am autistic its a sensory issue not a political stands. Most of my hair is covered i wear long jackets and shirts but sometimes my neck is exposed.

I would definitely reinforce that you should just ignore people's opinions, it's a journey, Allah knows you have the desire to wear it. There will be the ones that pull you back and the ones that push you, ignore both, it's their rythm, not yours, you must follow your rythm and it will go the distance. Only rely on Allah and remember he knows your heart, make 1 step and Allah will make 10 towards you and make it easy for you. A baby isn't born walking, they sit up, crawl, stand and then start walking, eventually running, but it's a process, strive for it but don't burn your bridges ❤

Thank you for this video, Jasmine. This was a really useful talk! I find that it's not always the case that the older women have more of a difficult time wearing the hijab. In fact, my mom started to observe it full time in her 40s. It was easy for her! Her heart loved it and at this stage of her life it became quite natural and essential to wear it right away. Now she looks like a queen covering her beautiful hair for the sake of Allah no matter where she goes and what she does. Whether it's a grocery store or at a formal gathering. It doesn't matter. She wears is proudly. Alhamdulillah. I dont think age matters. It's just the minset. 🥹❤️

You should always strive to do what the sunnah is, however something is better than nothing (in most cases bc some people just be disrespecting it). Also hijab is more the a headscarf, its also abaya, and how you carry your self❤ Here are some other tips: No belts or tight clothing or anything that shows your shape. Abaya or jilbab is also mandatory Dont let the shaytan discourage you Stray away from bright colors or shiny things as the whole point of hijab is to conceal yourself and your beauty and to not draw attention to yourself. And Insha Allah, everyday that you wake up, you do btter than you did before and may Allah help us to all be better, Ameen😊

The reason I don’t wear hijab is because I’m not a Muslim and it would be really rude to wear it if I don’t believe in Allah because I respect cultures and the beliefs people have for wearing it, and it’d feel wrong to just wear it for fun without any deeper meaning behind it.

Actually, a lot of cultures and different faiths wear hijabs and headscarves. Sephardic Jewish women wear them. I’m Catholic, and although I do not wear them outside, I wear a headscarf every Sunday when I go to mass. I also wear it when I go to something called Adoration, and I like to wear it when I pray the rosary at home. So really, anybody can wear it as long as you’re respectful!

My friends might not recognize me or maybe they’ll question what I’m wearing. I just can’t get into the hijab right… and don’t know how to avoid their judgement.
@nullity-7 ай бұрын
Heyy. I’m not the best in advice, but let me try. hijab is compulsory in Islam once you hit puberty, But obviously it’s the person’s choice whether she wanna wear it or not. If you genuinely wanna wear the hijab, and if you think the only thing stopping you from wearing it is people’s judgements… just go for it. I’m not saying it will be easy for you but In Sha Allah it will get easier within time. Our aim in this world is to worship Allah alone and obey him. This world is temporary, Our hereafter is not. Remember, When you’re wearing the hijab, you’re basically wearing a verse of the Qur’an. :’) (if that makes sense-). 💕 Anyways, it’s your personal decision but I hope this helps! greetings
