On a final note, positive note is what do you say to someone who is
on the fence? They want to do it, they feel it in their heart. But
they're nervous. They're afraid. How are my friends dinner tower,
my family going to react? What advice do you have for those
people beautiful Michelle, just like you're looking at. And, you
know, as I mentioned, we may have people here who are in those
crossroads and kind of not sure. It's part of, you know, life that
we're going to be faced with choices and every situation,
right, we're always at a crossroads of something. But when
it comes to what will propel you or draw you closer to Allah
subhana, WA, tada, you have to kind of, you know, start thinking
that that should the answer of that choice should be pretty
simple, right? And hijab is one definite way that we draw near to
Allah subhana that because any action where we obey, Allah draws
us closer to him, right? 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 dA. I'm always telling people,
like, if you're really, really confused about something, where's
the istikhara? Where's the tahajjud? Get up and cry to Allah
subhanaw taala really show the sincerity of the crisis you're in
or the confusion you're in. And watch what happens. Because when
you do that sincerely, like you're confused, ALLAH SubhanA will start
to make things very easy for you. He'll make it very obvious for
you. And all of a sudden, you'll realize you know what, this is,
this just feels right. And also, this is a follow up to that. Don't
look at 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. So some people start praying like
Fajr, and Asia, and then they add on the HUD offset, and some people
do all five at once, with the hijab, the best thing to do, and I
actually learned this from one of my closest friends who for years,
everybody thought she was a hijab, but she wasn't. What she did is
she wore it most of the time, in places where she felt very
supported to wear hijab. And she became a hijab, you get it,
because as she wore it more and more like to the grocery store to
Trader Joe's to, you know, the gym, to the doctor's office, the
identity of becoming a hijab, he became one with her identity, but
she didn't have this rule that said, Oh, I have to wear it, or I
don't. And I think that is a very detrimental message that women
get, 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 would you do that? Of course not. You would say pray make, you
know make the best effort possible. And in sha Allah in your
prayer and then the action of doing your prayer consistently.
Allah subhana will then begin to facilitate for you and next thing
you know you'll be praying all your prayers Same with the jab. So
where it like to the masjid where it to gatherings of, you know,
where you feel supported, where to places where you feel safe, wear
it in the car, if you can just become infused with the hijab so
that one day you wear it and you don't ever take it off inshallah I
mean eventually but you know what I mean?
