Wear any colour that you want as long as it is not thin or see through and as long as it wont be so bright to catch the attention of males when you go out.

Yes you can have a ponytail ans wear your scarf over. The problem is with the huge buns that cause a hump on the top of the head.

As muslim women we need to to follow the examples of the wives of the prophet pbuh. It will not be insulting to copy them but rather rewarding. The rules are clear cut. We need to cover up our beauty when standing before any non mahram males because we are not on display for them. So it means loose-fitting clothes that do not show figure, head scarf that covers the bosom and face veil because the face is obviously the part that first attracts any unwanted look. I hope i have cleared this up for you.

Re: Before Hijab, I Was Scared

I really needed this. I'm 24 and just started, I can already feel some of my friends distancing themselves from me and it's made me feel depressed and miss just being religious with my hair out. I'm still the same person and I hope they will see that and that I can meet more people too IA I really need to overcome this inner struggle as it is just day 3.

Salam alaykum and welcome to Islam. I'm also a convert and I used to feel exactly as you do. Once you start wearing the scarf it seems like enough because it's already a huge change from the way you used to dress. In time I felt differently, but not because of what others told me. You have to feel it for yourself. Now if I put on a nice outfit (with scarf) and I feel "cute", then I know I need to change something before I go outside because otherwise I'd be defeating the purpose of wearing hijab. Obviously you should feel clean and good about yourself in whatever you're wearing, but you should trust your gut feeling. Maybe this will change for you or maybe it never will, but wearing the scarf is the first step and you're definitely doing something right. And yes, as you said this is really a small issue compared to the problems that our religion and the world is facing. Think about how many times modesty is mentioned in the Quran, and how many more times praying, fasting, and doing good deeds is mentioned. I'm not belittling the idea of hijab but I'm just telling you that I feel for you and that it will take time for all the pieces to come together.

Thank you for this article. It's still very relevant. I see so many hijabis who are dressed in skinny jeans and tight shirts, and their hijab doesn't even cover their chest. There's no purpose in that. One might as well just put their hair up and wear a knit hat. If you think your hijab makes you immune from the sexual gazing, you're wrong. Modesty is so uncommon in society. Covering yourself and leaving your parts to the imagination (except your husband) is truly beautiful and it shows confidence in yourself as a woman. You can be fashionable and still be modest.

I have been very interested in niqab even before I converted to Islam. InshaAllah, make dua for me. Every time, I try on niqab in the mirror, I feel so happy, subhanAllah! It is just a few months ago that my parents even found out that I wear hijab! It took them over a year to get over the fact that I only wear dresses! LOL. I have always had more conservative tendencies but I feel as if my non-Muslim family (and the obsession with "colorful hijabi fashion" are obstacles. I think all black abayas are classy. i love them. I lvoe buying roomy, flowing abays---i always biy bigger sizes than necessary. I also love niqab. But I am always afraid "your family is not ready for that. They already think you have been brainwashed by Muslims" :they will call you an extremist" Allahuallah. Make dua for me and my family please sisters.

Salam Aleikum Wa Rahmatoulah ! Your story moved me sister, how you went from that litlle girl to the Hijabi you are right now is beautiful. I'm also struggling, admittedly not for the same reasons, but still in the path of Hijab. I hope one day, very soon i will be able to make a post like this to show people that i succeded in it. May Allah Azzawajal Protect you and Preserve you.

Now a days hejab are in fashion and costly one are always in demand and even eye catchy as well...with all gold and silver artistic work.....Hejab means to cover one's self with a big open pcs of cloth which cover body in such a way that it does not show the cuts or curves or show that who is going .......now a days hejab are so elaborated and decorated that females becomes the pcs of art and jewel of an eye ......so it must be avoided to do hejab this way
