    My takeaway from this is the dua to make it easy. Allah o Akbar, how I, as 50 plus adult couldn't figure out this? Maa's best advice for me was to ask Allah in Tahajjud, I remember her saying, Allah se kaho na, tahajjud parho aur mang lo. It's been many years since I started Tahajjud, and even if my prayer isn't answered, my heart is so much at peace. I know Allah has a better plan. Alhamdulillah for you. Alhamduliilah for seeing you as a sadaqah jaria. Alhamdulillah for the ones who supported and the ones who didn't, they too are the reason for consistency and growth. Baraki Allah fi hayatik

Growing up to have you as a role model cousin has always filled me with pride and InshaAllah may you continue to feel completely secure and happy with your relationship with the hijab and Allah SWT, - & may all the girlies who're contemplating it, just take the leap of faith and find utter peace for life with it.

And at the end that one quote hits me hard that don't let your last to the first day of your hijab, this literally scared me and then i started hijab for the sake of Allah. Your story was super inspiring can't wait for pt:2

I was thinking that how similar i went through and the feeling after putting the hijab on! Comforting, protected, confident ahhh best feeling ever may Allah reward you, you are my inspiration to continue this habit encouraging us making us feel that is very important that we cannot leave its obviously an obligatory thing! Beautiful. Waiting for part 2 literally you’re encouraging girls who maybe in this situation how to put it on and how to start! I’m forwarding to my cousins whom I’m encouraging this may Allah help us to make it common in all Muslim women. Ameen

    Loved watching the entire video 🥺 soo thought provoking and inspiring, bless you! I loved listening to your journey and ufff specially that hadith!!! It’s one of my favourites too ‘If he comes to me walking, I go to him running’ It is the most comforting thing in this whole world Another thing that really helps me apart from tahajjud is reciting the last two ayats of Surah baqarah, just elevates my faith and helps me in the darkest of times. I hope and pray it does the same for you when you read it. P.S My late nani would always advice the same thing and i’m soo grateful she did. How do Nani’s know how to fix everything?!!

And yes, reciting the last two ayats of Surah Baqarah is incredibly powerful; it's like a soothing balm for the soul, especially during challenging times. It's amazing how our nanis always seemed to have the perfect advice, right? Their wisdom truly knows no bounds. May Allah grant your nani jannat ul firdous.. 💕 آمین

    This is crazy, the coincidence! I am a 14 year old and I feel exactly the way you did when you started focusing more on your Deen. I have recently started focusing alot more on my Deen, dedicate my time to Allah and learning about Islam. When I started focusing more and started praying 5 times a day, I started having these thoughts about starting the hijab. I have been thinking about the hijab for around 4 months now, I first talked it out with one of my friends and I kept going on and off about whether I wanna put it on so she was like just leave the hijab you won't be able to do it, just put on dupatta on your head. I have now since around month started distancing myself from my friends because I just don't think they will understand or if they are the types of friends I wanna keep (not just about the hijab) so I was shocked to hear about how you went through the same thing when you were 14. I talked about this to my parents and my mother said that nobody in your family does it so you will be discouraged and leave it in the future which is disrespectful and my father said that hijab is not just a head scarf so the "hijab" like covering your head with a scarf is not necessary but it doesn't mean to just go out in public which hair open but rather dress modestly and have your hair tied up. After hearing my parents' thoughts, I got discourage, asked Allah to help me and give me signs about whether I should put it on or not and since then I have been getting signs on signs on social media. I just saw your insta and thought to check out your video and I feel like I couldn't get any bigger sign than this but I don't know what to do. I know that if I do start the hijab then my parents will still support me but I am scared myself if I will be able to hold it on because the people around me don't do hijab. I want to do it for Allah not people but it's hard. I have started covering my head with a dupatta when I go out just like how my mother does. My father told me to do so instead of wearing the hijab. I have also deleted my pictures from insta which contained my hair.

    Wow, it's truly amazing how similar our journeys are at such a young age! 🌟 I can relate to the challenges and uncertainties you're facing, especially when it comes to making decisions about wearing the hijab. It's incredibly brave of you to dedicate yourself to learning more about Islam and focusing on your Deen at such a young age. Remember, the journey to embracing the hijab is deeply personal and unique for each individual. It's natural to feel unsure or scared, especially when considering the opinions of those around you. But always remember that your relationship with Allah is what truly matters, and He will guide you every step of the way. It's heartwarming to hear that you're receiving signs and encouragement, both from social media and within yourself. Trust in Allah's plan for you, and take things one step at a time. Whether you choose to wear the hijab or continue with the dupatta, know that your intentions and sincerity are what count the most. Stay strong, and know that you're never alone on this journey. Sending you lots of love, prayers, and support! 💕 May Allah continue to guide and bless you, Shafaq!

    The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but NOT for Ladies. They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religious. Other religious groups (including men) living there were already wearing it for a long long time. in Quran 24.31. The word is KHIMAR. Khimar just means COVERING (They’ve added head, hair, face to the word “covering”) They give the example of another word “khumr” from the same root - even Khumr (intoxicants/alcohol) does not cover the outer head/hair BUT it COVERS the ability of the mind from inside. Quran 24.31 (part) //… put forth the KHIMARs over the JAYBs …// “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna” [Plurals: khumur, juyoob] Put forth the COVER over the Jayb. Please notice it just gives importance to: “Cover the Jayb” Verify JAYB in //Quran 28.32 (part) “yadaka fee jayb’ika” // “put your hand in your Jayb” (clearly a pocket or opening in the dress) - most translate Jayb as chest/bosoms coz that’s where they understand the Jayb is) Quran 33.59 is another verse BUT see what it says in that verse also: “… alay’ihinna min jalabib’ihinna…“ [Plural: JALABIB] “…JILBABs over themselves…” JILBAB= outer clothing (wearing of decent clothes over the underwears as OUTER CLOTHING) Please NOTICE:- No head, hair, face cover even in this verse. It’s simple as per Quran: • in Q24.31 - COVERING over the Jayb • in Q33.59 - Decent OUTER CLOTHING
