A day before my surgery, a brother and I were sharing a few Islamic videos with each other. One of the many videos that he passed me was a video, I myself had seen before. It was about the dilemma that supposedly every Muslimah goes through before she chooses to wear her Hijab permanently.
As I was browsing through several blogs earlier, I got reminded of a story or a dilemma that I, myself went through before I made my "Hijab Decision".
Before I wore my Hijab, I got into many little conversations with a number of sisters - half of which were Hijabees and the other half, otherwise.
I remember getting answers like "I'll wear my Hijab when I get married" or "I'll wear the Hijab if my husband asks me to" and of course there is the "I'll wear it when I"m ready" answers.
I am totally fine with the latter because I understand how the Hijab is not just a piece of cloth that covers your head but a responsibility that you're carrying out because of your love for God and His religion.
What I don't understand is the stereotypical thoughts that some Muslimahs have about wearing the Hijab only after marriage. It makes you question their intentions of wearing the Hijab - to please their Husbands or to please their Lord? - Of course, this is not a very nice thing to do because only Allah knows of their intentions. (I'm Human, I'm sorry)
It's just... what if you pass away before you get married? What if you pass away before you decide to put your Hijab on?
What is it that you're afraid of that you choose to not wear the Hijab?
Verily, Allah said in His Qur'an - “Truly Allah is with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him), and those who are good-doers.” [An-Nahl, 16:128]
Then again if the Hijab is your choice then let it be a choice for the sake of Allah.
A'qilah Saiere.

Alhamdulilah I chose to start wearing when the time was right - which was one year ago. I've never been more happier, I'm so glad I made that decision to wear it even though it did come with some consequences. But I guess Islam is a religion of sacrifice...for Allah.
I chose to wear my hijab 7 days after my conversion because I found that I felt like something was wrong, but that is my faith in Allah, and now I wear hiajb, I cover my face and I wear abaya all by choice
alhamdulillah di indonesia tidak ada pelarangan menggunakan hijab, tapi banyak muslimah tidak bisa bekerja karena menggunakan hijab huf :(
