[quote]Assalaamu Alaikum All,

(I have completed the Norms of Gender Interaction course.)

I made the decision to wear hijab a long time ago. I must say it was the most liberating experience i have felt as a woman. I work for my state government, so there are many questions about why i cover my hair and dress with big dresses (jilbabs and abayas) all the time. I don't get these uestions so much anymore. muslim, i  love seeing women in hijab, although i do not like seeing younger girl wearing scarves covering their hair but they are wearing skin tight jeans and tight tops that outline their entire figure. More isee this problem with young muslimahs here. I love being able to identify another muhajabat and greet her with "Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah." It is a blessing. Wearing hijab comforts me in knowing I am protecting myself from unwanted things, I am covering, protecting and guarding what is for my husband's eyes. I think about how Allah will judge me, so I seek His guidance and it led me to wearing hijab. I found that i have always had strong character, but since covering I gained a new sense of pride and self-respect. I walked straighter. I felt stronger. My attire was another reminder to walk on the sirataal mustaqueem. Ajmal, thanks foy your post, especially section 5. Sometimes here we have problems understnading this aspect of hijab. Even when i go to the masjid qith the other sisters for Jummuah prayer and khutba. We bring a long extra clothing to let some girls borrow when they comes dressed inappropriately (although their hair is covered). I will print out your post and share it with the sisters nshaAllah. Barak Allahu Fik. May Allah bless you and us all.
