Is it not good to wear hijab before converting to Muslim?

I think it is fine.
The hijab is merely a covering which has become associated with Islam. It is a means of achieving modesty. I don't think it is inherently meant to be a symbol of being Muslim (though this is what is has become). Modesty itself is more important than the style of the covering. I highly doubt you would offend anyone by wanting to dress modestly, whatever your religion. |

The first requirement to enter paradise is faith in one Allah, Allah in ch 103 v 1-4 of Quran says with token of time man is in state of loss except thosewho have faith, good deeds, resorting people to truth, resorting people to ppatience and perseverance.first revert then follow Quran, if you are convinced 100% about islam please don't waste a second in reverting.

Thanks for posting this, Eshal. May I ask if you are a Muslim? I've been arguing for years that the Quran only asks women to dress modestly and does not prescribe a specific attire, but as a non-Muslim my opinions obviously aren't worth much. It's nice to hear it from a Muslim (assume you are one). |

you have my vote, go for it. By the way, have you noticed how women of the church (nuns per say) are pretty much veiled in there dress cod? And how the bride is given away to the groom, veiled in church? Recently, I've seen a sect in Judaism where there women are dressed exactly like Muslim women in black attire\"Abaya". The point is, "Decency" - particularly in female - is in human nature. And God's teachings, logically, are to meet and go with the nature and instincts of his creation. That is why, to a great deal, Islam is THE religion of God, for in pervious messages of his, followers have deviated from the original teachings. Edited by abc 123 - 07 January 2015 at 11:24am |

Another example would be the Amish :-) In my youth, I was growing some dreadlocks and had someone try to tell me that unless I was a practicing Rastafarian, it was disrespectful to their faith/culture. The person saying this was NOT A Rasta. I considered it quite silly. The fact is - it's YOUR head, you could wear a chicken on top of it if you felt so inclined :-) Just don't be surprised when people do mistake you for a Muslim, if you choose to wear a hijab, and greet you as such. Plus, if you are choosing to wear one out of modesty and not fashion, (imo) you're already moving in a good direction :-) |

Few nuns wear a veil and not all wear a habit. Those that do wear a habit do it to demonstrate that they are separate from the rest of society. Is that what you want for muslim women? Few brides in the west wear a veil now. Those that do, do it out of tradition only, in the same way that they tend to wear white even if they aren't virgins.
If by "Decency" you mean wearing clothes that hide the body, there is no evidence it is human nature. Certainly the examples you gave are not evidence in favour of it, as I have demonstrated. But, of course, there is lots of evidence that it is not human nature. For example, aboriginal peoples all over the world tend not to hide their bodies. The urge to hide the human body is clearly a cultural construct. No baby comes out of the womb embarrassed by its nudity.
Some muslims will hear you say "nature is obviously a mirror of Islam and, therefore, Islam is obviously true" and they will eagerly assent. Some muslims and all non-muslims will hear you say "And God's teachings, logically, are to meet and go with the nature and instincts of his creation. That is why, to a great deal, Islam is THE religion of God, for in pervious messages of his, followers have deviated from the original teachings." And their response will be "that is vacuous, circular and essentially meaningless." |

Asalamu alikum sister,
Welcome to Islam my dear. I am so glad you came to ask here. You dont have to immediately wear the hijab, first tell your parents, give them some time. Then when you are really comfortable do it. This is not something you rush, because once you wear its a commitment. You get comfortable by knowing that you are following Allah's commandments and letting other sisters know that you are a fellow muslim ah- which will make your life a whole lot easier. All the best my dear, I know its scary to tell them...I remember telling my parents i wanted to wear the hijab and they freaked out! So i know. But hang in there, and know that Allah will make it easy if you are doing it for him. Make lots of dua and just do it. |
