They had to find out sometime, and today I did tell them. My sister text me to say hello. Then after ten minutes I finally said I feel alot for islam i want a religion and I want to wear my head scarf. Then they said well dont let anyone ever see you with that on, and you must take it off before i get to my mums house or i wont get in.

So I said i can take it off inside the house, then kept saying things like my baby wont recognise me when he does and things like that. But i just say he does and i'm not ashamed to wear it even though your ashamed to see me wearing. At the last thing she said was all i care about is seeing you (me) and my baby. So i said okay.

Inshallah i will leave them for a bit to cool i might go for an hour a week take off my scarf and leave or just not go at all. I am praying to Allah make it easy. i need your advice sisters and brothers .

Asalaamu'alekum sister,

MashAllah you will be fine. You're family will inshAllah learn to accept it, it is hard sometimes especially when Islam dosn't get good press atall. I still have to tell my family I'm Muslim, inshAllah they will understand.

Wasalaam

I don't think you should be worried about wearing the hijab or with what anyone else thinks of you. Remember that you are doing this for Allah but even so, don't force yourself to change suddenly. A slow transition is best so you may learn more as you go along.

Seek advice and do what you think is right. If Allah wills it, all will work out in the end. :blackhijab:

I guess your right just dont worry, and i am doing what i believe in so nothing is going to stop me. It's going to be simple to just believe what i believe and that is one God muhammad is messenger peace be upon Him. I love islam and nothings gonna stop me! My parents are still important though!

There is no need for obedience to parents when there is disobedience to God's rule. All the best

I think you mean Peace be upon him

Assalamu alaikom dear sister! Masha Allah, I am proud of you. I just started wearing hijab recently myself and I live in Florida and my family in Dublin, Ireland. I have been a muslim for 17 years and just got the guts to wear it, mainly because I was so afraid of what my family would think. Then I decided enough is enough and I have to do this for Allah and for myself and I feel really good wearing it. I have told my older sister on the phone and she was very supportive and can't wait to see me! I told her I am worried, especially about my father and brother's view as they somehow think I am denying my Irish culture by being Muslim and I do not see that at all. I remember when I first became Muslim all those years ago and my mother met an Irish girl who became Muslim in a long grey coat and black hijab.... she told the Iraqi Muslim at the bus-stop, "I hope my Catherine never looks like that!".... I figure I will tell my mother on the phone shortly to prepare the crew for when I next see them, Insha Allah. My family are pretty international, my dad was born in Egypt and lived there til he was 11 but the only one that likes to hear about Islam in a positive manner is my older sister. When I tell my mother stories about our Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, she says "that is just folklore, etc"...... So, the reaction should be interesting but when your family loves you for who you are, and they see you are 100% dedicated in your decision, they will learn to respect it and accept the new look and lifestyle.

MashaAllah sisters, when we're going to do something good for the sake of Allah, then JUST DO IT. No matter what the people say about you, just do it, because you're going to do something that please Allah, the One Who will reward you with Jannah(paradise). And whatever the difficulty you may face in doing this good deeds, be patient sisters, Allah will help you.
