My Mom :(

Well I told my mom that she needs to know that i am muslim now and that when she comes today that i will be wearing the Hijab...OH MY....she said "You aren't going with me anywhere if you are wearing that sh*t on your head!!!" I was shocked that her reaction was so strong...I cried....but then I told her that I am sorry Mom that you will be embarrassed to be with me but i love you and respect you and i wish that you will love and respect my choice...she said, "You dont have to wear that thing on your head around me!!" I told her mom this thing is called a Hijab and I am not wearing it for you or for the neighbor or anyone else I dont care what people think I am muslim and I am wearing it because Allah says to wear it that it is good and the correct way for a woman to be respected for who she is not what she looks like. So when she comes i am wearing the Hijab and she can decide to stay or go....Insha Allah she stays!!!

  4. I'm not Muslim, but I started covering my head in August (I had been covering everything else but that for years already). My family are not necessarily thrilled about it, especially not the one Jewish family member.

    I explained to them why I'm wearing it, that it's voluntary, no one is making me do it, and told them that if they are embarrassed to be seen with me in front of their friends, I'll understand. They assured me there wouldn't be any problem with that.

    And you know, a few days after I donned the head covering, I discovered my passport had expired! So I had the opportunity to do up my new passport with the head covering on. I live abroad, so I trotted over to the consulate, everyone was very polite and helpful.

    I am glad you are being firm about doing what you believe in. Some things just have to be more important...
