Salam dear brothers and sisters,
I want to start this topic by being straightforward and honest with you all.
I never really used to wear hijab when I went out, but I never felt good about that. I wished I could have the courage to do that. Living in a Western country can be quite challenging for fear of being attacked.
Well, today I proudly walkede into work with my hijab and I felt so good! Nobody said anything to me and colleagues were actually supportive! I am doing this for Allah's pleasure and I know He will protect me.
I plan on wearing my hijab permanently from now on inshallah.
Also, to be honest, a friend of mine passed away last week and I have constantly been thinking about it. It's made me think of death, what happens to us and the hereafter. I was thinking of the questioning in the grave and what will happen to our souls. It's still a bit of a raw topic so I don;t want to get into it too deeply, but it scares me when I think of how many sins we have committed in our lives and what the punishment will be.
What can we do to cleanse our souls and become good Muslims? I ask Allah for forgiveness all the time. Apart from wearing hijab and praying salah 5 times a day what can we do to try and reach paradise and suffer no punishments from Allah swt?
I think about all this and it terrifies me. I don't want to suffer any punishments in the grave or be sent to hell. so what can we do to please Allah swt so that He won't punish us and be pleased with us?
Salam
