Default Re: ex hijabi

lol, I'm the same as you Shadha. I liked it when I first put it on at 16, then soon hated it and almost took it off but alhamdulillah my uncle (who is not religious so it makes it even weirder) convinced me to keep it on. He was like, "how can you take it off if it's in the Qur'an?" I really really hated it and my family gave me crap in the beginning but now everyone's okay with it alhamdulillah and it helped that my sister and I began to wear it at the same time (she did it 3 months earlier mA). I never did mind the questions though. I am afraid my sister will take it off though, she's 18 (same age I went through that no-more-hijab phase) and away at college with nobody to "talk her back into it."

Serendipity it just sounds like you were young and had no support system when you were going through the doubting phase.. that must have sucked and I'm sorry . Now it seems you're older though and inshallah you're more mature and can support yourself through the decision...do you have friends or family that could help you? Also, there is no denying that if you are really serious about this you are going to HAVE TO fight your doubts, it's not usually easy in the beginning. Good luck
