| It's essential to have open and respectful communication with your parents about your feelings and concerns regarding clothing choices. Express your desire to adhere to Islamic principles of modesty while also considering practicality and personal comfort. Besides, provide information to your parents about Islamic guidelines for modest dress, emphasizing that modesty can be achieved without necessarily adhering to specific cultural dress codes. Also, connect with other muslims in your area who may have similar experiences or can offer guidance and support. Embrace the diversity within Islam and find a balance that aligns with your religious beliefs, personal values, and cultural backgrounds. Strive for a balance that honors both your faith and your free-ness as an individual. |
