Barakallahu fiki for sharing. That was years ago but I ve just read your post. And cried 🙂
I start wearing hijab 8 months ago. I got some reactions at the beginning but nothing harsh. After 2 months I moved in a new country and thas was the very moment I understood what was to wear hijab. I heard everything…called by awful names, sacarsm, mockery, that I won’t find a hubby and never get promoted. I was the only one muslima in my workplace and … wooah. I went through hell. I was about to take it off..tighting my clothes, and even planned it for after holiday season break. I went in a shop and there was that guy sitting beside the door who congrats me for wearing it. “I know there are temptations and it is not easy” he continued.
Whaaat?! You feel like God sent an angel down to talk to you when you are done and about to quit. That was like a divine warm hug. my heart was in awe for God cause that was exactly what I need to hear. Days later, I came to meet Brother Nouman on youtube and lectures about when we decide to change ourselves and take religion seriously. I understood that it was all in the process, all the hardship during those 5 months was a test and above all… I wasn’t the only one it happened to. During the time, I get closer to God because I need to pray and I came to learn even more His beautiful attributes and perform zikr with most of them. I learnt bautiful duas which I think I would never learned if I wasn’t in the situation. I then found relief, and can now bear what people say to me. I’m not married yet but He taught us to do not despair as He is Merciful.
May He helps and guide us as Al Hadi in remembering that it’s for His sake we are doing all of these and that He will rewards us as As Shakur… so finally we re doing it for ourselves cause He doesnt need it as Al Ghani.

Some years back right when I started practicing Islam, I had to face a sire situation whereby I was met with how powerful du’a is. 6months after I started making du’a a whole jail cell was emptied. As-Samee’u (the All-Hearer) hears our dua!

i enjoyed reading your story, thank you, i really hope it helps many others who are considering wearing modest clothing, i myself was muslim for approx 6 years before i began to wear the hijab a few months ago, it took a lot of courage, it really did, but literally 20 mins after walking begining my first journey wearing a hijab a muslim woman greeted me, it brought tears to my eyes and i have never looked back. it does take courage but it is really worth it!

adding yaqub’s words, it’s also important for everyone of us trying to be that ‘clerk’. saying encouraging and powerful words to everyone around us even a simple one, so they can keep moving and we can be the one whose rasulullah said aw kama qal: if Allah gives hidayah to a man, because of u,it is better than the world and and things inside.

SubhanAllah, when I read what the cashier said to you I was overwhelmed with appreciation for the mercy of Allah(swt). Alhumdulillah, as I encounter customer of all background, I am overwhelmed by the unexpected compliments from the non-muslims. They compliment my hijab or the color of it and I know it is an indirect encouragement from Allah subhana wa Tala. I appreciate you writing down and sharing this beautiful experience.

Beautiful mashAllah! Yes, even though my mother was against me wearing hijab, I received many compliments on it from others outside my family and several people telling me not to take it off 🙂
Alhamduillah and thank for sharing ya okhtee!

I enjoyed reading that; very powerful and moving..thank you for the share.

It also reminds me how important it is to actively strive to the best of our abilities to surround ourselves in the company of people that nurture our souls and those that make our faith stronger.

Masha Allah! This is beautiful. When I accepted Islam I felt weird wearing khimar however, upon meeting other Muslimahs like myself and other non Mulsim women who smiled at me as I walk past them or greeted me out of respect made me feel even more proud. I understand completely the feeling of just wanting to drop down and praise Allah (Swt) for his unbending mercy. JazzakAllah khayrin for sharing your wonderful experience
