I reverted to Islam three years ago. I’ve wanted to wear hijab since then but was always scared of my parents not allowing it since my dad has such a hatred toward Islam. I asked their permission in September 2013 because I didn’t want them to be offended if I just started wearing it. I was so happy when they said I could. I felt so safe and good about myself since I was following what Allah (swt) commanded us to wear. Being covered and modest is such an amazing feeling. I had began to get so attached to my scarves. I wore it until December when they told me I wasn’t allowed anymore. My dad said since I live in a “Christian household”, I can’t be all covered. He said he didn’t like it because it was bad for his reputation and if I wore it again he would rip it off my head. So I stopped wearing hijab. In June 2014, I decided I care and fear Allah (swt) way too much to not to wear hijab. My dad is scared to be mistaken for Muslim because MY hair is covered. God is and always will be most important. I put my hijab on at the bus station when my parents drop me off and when I’m done with doing things I return to the bus station and take it off. It sucks wearing it in secret but its worth it; knowing I’m pleasing our Creator.
