WHO ARE WE?

I’ve always dreamed of wearing the hijab. It was such a beautiful desire in my heart, but for the longest time, it felt like it was out of reach. I was really scared—scared of what others might think, scared of the changes it would bring, and scared of how the world would see me. Most importantly, I was afraid of standing before Allah without fulfilling this important act of obedience. 

Then one day, something happened that truly shook me. It felt like a divine wake-up call, a moment that made me realize I had to choose where I stood. I knew I couldn’t keep living in limbo. I had to decide whether to follow Allah’s commands or keep turning away. In that moment, I turned to prayer, pouring my heart out in du’aa, asking Allah for strength, guidance, and courage. 

Then, during a peaceful day in Ramadan filled with blessings, something amazing happened. As I sat quietly, a wave of tranquility washed over me. It was like my soul had been waiting for this moment all along. I felt so certain and at peace. I turned to my husband, calm but determined, and said, “I’m putting on the hijab.” Just like that, my heart and my actions came together. 

Now, Alhamdulillah, I’m celebrating a whole year since I made that wonderful decision! It’s been a year of wearing my hijab with pride, strength, and unwavering faith. This choice has been the most liberating step I’ve ever taken—a true symbol of surrender, love, and walking confidently on the path of Allah.
