Hello, how are you all? I hope everyone is doing well. Today, I will discuss how I started wearing the hijab and the challenges I faced. Did I ever feel like I made a mistake by starting the hijab or thought about taking it off? I’ve been wearing the hijab since childhood. My mother used to make me wear a dupatta (scarf) from a young age, and I wouldn’t leave the house without wearing a hijab. However, when there was a family function, I would leave my hair open, thinking there were no non-mahrams (those I could marry) around, so there wouldn’t be any issue. At that time, I didn’t know that not everyone in the family was Mahram.

When I went to school, I always wore a scarf. Even when I went to tuition, I would wear a hijab. Everywhere except with my family, I would be in hijab. But even when I realized that there were non-mahrams in the family, like my cousins or uncles, I still used to keep my hair open at family gatherings. Maybe I hadn’t been guided fully at that time. And then something happened, which made me start the hijab completely on my own.

When I started university, my face became two-toned because I always wore a hijab outside but not at family events. But for about four years, there hadn’t been any family functions, so for those four years, I had consistently worn the hijab. Anyway, when my face became two-toned, a family event came up, and I thought about how I would go with my hair open. Then, a voice in my heart told me that I should wear the hijab here as well, not just in front of others. Even at university, I never left the hijab.

So, for the first time, I wore a hijab at a family function. My father was the happiest because he had always liked the hijab and wanted me to wear it, but he never forced me. When I went to the function with the hijab, no one had any negative reactions. Everyone was happy because the rest of the family also wore the hijab. Since that day, I haven’t stopped wearing it. Even at university, I sometimes felt tempted when I saw others with their hair open. But then I thought, who am I trying to impress?

Anyway, I never had any problems wearing the hijab, and I never felt like I had made a mistake. Instead, now I feel grateful that I started wearing it in time and that I received the guidance. I’m very happy that I wear the hijab now, and I don’t have any thoughts about taking it off. I thank Allah for giving me the ability to wear the hijab.
