The Hijab for Muslimahs Part 2 with the Intoduction of Mahram

The Hijab for Muslimahs part 2

With the introduction of Mahrams

Salam guys and girls. So I realized after rereading my first Hijab post that I didn’t mention everything I wanted to about the Hijab. See even though I know how many views I’m getting I sadly don’t know how many of the viewers are Muslim or not. So I’m just gonna clear things up for non-Muslims still confused about the Hijab for muslimahs (there are other types of hijab too but we’ll get into that with later blog posts).

Who wears hijabs? This should be pretty obvious but in case you need reminding Muslim women, though nuns and priestess seem to have their own form of hijab…

What is the hijab? See ‘The Hijab for Muslimahs’

Why do some women wear the hijab? Eh it differs for many people and some don’t have only one reason but mostly to show modesty

When do we have to wear the Hijab? In front of non-Mahrams

And just what is that? It’s basically a person of the opposite sex you have to cover (cover usually means wearing a Hijab but it can also refer to just dressing more modestly than usual) yourself around and that your allowed to marry that person. Whereas a Mahram is someone you can’t marry and therefore don’t have to cover (in this sense I mean covering yourself fully please do still wear clothes) yourself in front of (I.e. father, brother, uncle, etc.). For a complete list of Mahrams and more details on this subject I’ve included a link below or you can just google for info

How do you wear a hijab? Well there are many ways but I’ve put a link of the way I wear it down below. There are many and I mean many Hijab videos on YouTube but be warned I’ve tried a few and they never quite turn out the way the girl’s scarf in the video does.

The Hijab for Muslimahs

First Post! So excited! *Asalamualaikum  and hello to all!  Next month will be my one year anniversary of wearing the *Hijab (yes i'm a newborn *hijabi). I've got to say I love wearing the Hijab but there have been more than a few moments I have been absolutely annoyed by it, mainly cause I didn't pin it properly and it kept slipping off. But in my case the pros outweighed the cons and nowadays I will come homes from school and forget I'm wearing it sometimes. So a lot of people ask me "why do you  wear that..thing" obviously referring to the Hijab. Depending on the mood I'm in my answers range from a very sarcastic "because my father threatened me at gun point to wear the Hijab and if I refuse he'd kill me" (emphasis on sarcasm here) to a simple "because *Mary/Maryam is my role model" (yes I stole that from facebook). But the real reason I wear the hijab is because Islam places a great emphasis on modesty and I want to please Allah by wearing the hijab and preserving my modesty.
When someone meets me the first thing they notice is that i'm a muslim, and I personally like that being my first impression, because even though there is more to me than just Islam, Islam is the center of my life. "Well why don't all Muslims wear the scarf then?" Guys have their own form of Hijab which i'm not going to really go into right now. But for a *Muslimah  a Hijab is a really personal choice and some just don't want to wear it for whatever reason they have. AND THAT'S PERFECTLY ALRIGHT. I can not tell you the amount of time someone has assumed i'm more religious than a certain person just because I wear the Hijab and they don't. You can't measure someone's religiousness by a piece of scarf. Only *Allah knows what's in someone's heart. Though there are certain perks of wearing a Hijab.
If you want proof for the hijab open a translated quran to Chapter 24 verse 31 or use google.

The meme is made by yours truly.
