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.
