I'm still thoroughly enjoying your posts!

Very, very strengthening.. Thank you.

Hijab update My mother (who is also my best friend) (and is not following any religion) knowing that I want to wear hijab thinks that I not start wearing it until I am prepared to wear it everyday, its not a fashion statement, its a commitment. If she had not of said this I may have put it...

LOVE reading this information. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

From what I know, putting others' needs before our own is a behaviour Allah wants from us. I believe it extends to all others around us - not just our husbands. And a God-fearing husbands treat women the same! So I feel it should balance out. I have experienced that in my life - but still...

THANKS + INCREDIBLE STORY + QUESTION I have really enjoyed reading these posts thanks immensely!! Allahumdelila! Thanks everyone. (haven't yet replied to my inbox and will do so to those who wrote kind encouraging words) One thing that strikes a great deal of dislike in me are those...

Frank! When I first started posting I had just converted and you had not yet (if my memory sevres me correctly) Looks like you have That's great! :SMILY126::SMILY149::SMILY149:

That's a really good answer Allahumdilia. Very balanced and encouraging. I don't believe I will be in any physical harm. I really believe your post will help other women too. I believe my biggest problem is that of merely being looked at. I dont like it!! I also worry about people...

Thanks, I get your point and it is true indeed. Don't forget Allah blessed women with emotions which made us just right for child-rearing and keeping a good household. So women and men, I feel, in my opinion, need to care for women in regards to this. I believe Muhammed was very gentle...

"However if you feel that you may get a lot pressure that can effect you in a bad way, then you may have to rethink your decision" I would love for you to elaborate on that sentence if you can - for example - are you saying if I get too many stares, or aggression against me that it is better...

Is it bad that I made my husband upgrade from calling me 'Princess' to 'Queen' when I became Muslim?:shymuslima1:

Thanks for the link - I've just emailed it myself so I can keep a record. Would be great to see him!! I might try a little trip there soon Inshallah. Wow...he is autograph worthy??? Sounds great!

HAHAHAHAHA But Allah sees :SMILY206::hearts::SMILY252::SMILY252::SMILY252::::wavyarms::SMILY252::SMILY252:

Thanks RightPath. Great you said that because absolutely a stare because of awe or because of ignorance is far better than a stare due to big dangly sparkly earrings. That will help me a lot and I will remember it:eek::eek::eek::blackhijab::eek::eek:

I live where there are no Hijabbis. I converted 3 days ago. Absolutely I will have MUCH attention drawn to me when I start wearing Hijab. I am uncomfortable with this because it's the opposite of what Hijab is supposed to do for a women. However I believe I should wear one. In turn I...

Thanks for the lecture recommendation. Can you provide me with any links about this? Would be MUCH appreciate. Maybe I can visiti Melbourne to listen to h im live INSHALLAH. :SMILY139:

Dear InterestedInIslam, I hope youpost some thoughts on here soon... I'd sincerely like to know 'where you are at' GOD BLESS YOU

really looking forward to your conversion story:muslim_child:

I had written in earlier posts that I want to be 'number two' in my husband's life and God to be' number 1'. I pray that God is number 1 in my life and my husband is number 2 in my life and check my heart quite regularly in an earnest attempt to make that so. Humility is the one aspect I...

From studies of the origin of words in holy texts when I was a Christian I am pretty sure I remember learning from an advanced theologian that the English word 'fear' is closer to meaning 'awe' when found in Hebrew or Arabic. 99% sure.
