Hosai Mojaddidi – Advice for Women Contemplating Wearing Hijab

We may have people here who are in those crossroads and kind of not

sure. It's part of life that we're going to be faced with choices and

every situation right? We're always at the crossroads of

something. But when it comes to what will propel you or draw you

closer to Allah subhanaw taala, the answer of that choice should

be pretty simple, right? And hijab is one definite way that we draw

near to all US paths. But as I said, it might be a matter of time

for you of when to do that. So you want to, you know, pace yourself,

but just make a lot of the arc if you're really really confused

about something, where's the istikhara? Where's the tahajjud?

Get up and cry to Allah subhanaw taala and watch what happens

because when you do that sincerely, Allah Subhan Allah will

start to make things very easy for you. Don't look at a hijab as

something you either have to wear permanently or never wear at all.

Please don't do that. Because for some people like prayer, it comes

incrementally. Some people start praying like Fajr and Isha and

then they add on some people do all five at once. And I think that

is a very detrimental message that women get it because you would

never tell someone who's struggling with their prayer. You

can't pray any of the prayers until you pray all five, same with

the jab. So wear it to the messages, where it to gatherings

where you feel supported, just become infused with the hijab so

that one day you wear it and you don't ever take it off, inshallah
