I need advice ...

Assalaamu Alaikum Mata,

1st and Foremost Ramadan Kareem & Eid Mubarak‎

No one is perfect, it is not for us to judge. Allah is the Judge and he is the one who is Merciful. If you have truly repented then you must also forgive yourself.

I think you need to stop worrying about what other people think. I know it sounds easier said than done.

If you want to wear hijab then do it for the sake of Allah and he will make it easy for you. Allah will never give us something more then we can bear.

As far as being a hypocrite, those who judge you are the ones who need to worry. I understand that it can be challenging to follow the tenements of our faith. But look at what Allah gives us,isn�t it the least we could do?

Assalaamu Alaikum Mata,

I understand the guilt you feel, but again if you have truly repented then you must also forgive yourself.

You are not giving an �impression� or deceiving anyone by wearing Hijab period!!! It�s a private choice and has nothing to do with being �pure and everything �.

I am sure you have seen a sister or 2 who do wear Hijab and even the next step of niqab. They are committing the sin of backbiting and Gossiping. I use these as an example since women are easy pulled into this thru conversation and socializing. These are by no means small sins, they are also something that needs to be repented and atoned for.

I am by no means �pure and everything �, I have faults just like you. But, if I wear hijab I do it only for the sake of Allah and for Allah alone. I am so grateful for everything he has blessed me and my family with. That I try to reflect my gratitude with this small token.

I don�t want to sound like I am preaching, but we are so hard on ourselves and think we can�t be �better�. We can thru small steps and practice, daily remembrance and by choosing to do things for the sake of Allah and Allah alone are what we can do to become �better�.

Take care and live for Allah and he will take care of you.

As salamou aleikoum sister,

I just wanted to say that alhamdoulilah i have been wearing hijab for a little bit more than 3 months now. I couldn't have made that decision without you, honestly so i wanted to take this time and say thank you. May Allah reward you infinitely.

Take care

Wa aleikoum salam sister,
