Hijab – Taking It Step By Step

It's not just for reverse. It's not just

for people who are new to Islam. It's

even for people who are born Muslims, who

are struggling with hijab.

I want to tell you what I found

very very interesting

you see you get people saying listen it's

haram listen what you're doing is totally forbid

we know the ruling we want to get

there

you if you start off moving in a

direction where you're improving in your dress code

inshallah you're doing the right thing The way

I answer this question, perhaps very few others

would.

It's interesting to know. I have a habit

of putting myself in the shoes of the

person asking

or the people and then give them something

realistic. Let me give you an example.

We had a sister who accepted Islam and

she used to wear miniskirts.

And Literally, she said what did we say

to her? We said my sister, do you

know what if you find it inshallah?

Easier to put on the jeans and a

top it's better is it not better?

There's little the little boy is saying it

is it is my sha Allah

It's better put on it you know so

how could you condone a jeans on the

top my brother if you knew where she

came from and where she is today you

would say alhamdulillah

Do you agree? So people don't know your

journey. It's your own journey. You know the

movement you've made. Wallahi, it's sufficient between you

and Allah. And you also know what's ideal.

You know that I one day I'm gonna

get there. I know people who've been in

full hijab and abandoned it due to whatever

reason it's probably shaitan, maybe the curse because

they were laughing at others who were struggling

in the path.

So don't worry about what others say. You

have to move your own pay then from

that you can wear slightly

looser clothing

you can have a bottoms that's maybe a

little bit

not tight fitting. That's another stage. And you

can get to another stage. And slowly but

surely, the stages that you move upon,

you know them, Allah knows them and maybe

a few people around you might be able

to acknowledge we know where you've got. When

I see someone

wallahi, I will never judge them because I

don't know where they were. All I know

is today, they're in a better place. That's

all I know.

And for me, that's good enough. I mean,

we've got family members, children. We've got people

around us. Everyone has their own struggles. I

have my own struggles, but I know where

I am today. And I know that between

me and Allah, I keep telling him, You

Allah, I wanna do better. I wanna do

better. And I'm going to do better. And

I try to do better. And I do

do better. And then I thank Allah.

But nobody's gonna be upon the ideal.

I know of sisters in niqab. In niqab,

meaning they they actually cover their their entire

face and they wear a you know, a

veil that shows only their eyes. And then

you get a guy come in and say,

stop for Allah. You're supposed to cover those

eyes. Where do you stop? I'm not doing

it for you, brother.

You're supposed to damn lower those eyes.

What are you looking at my eyes for?

There's nothing you can see besides my eyes,

and you've got a problem with even that.

So hang on. It's you, your movement, your

pace. For as long as you know what's

right and wrong, inshallah,

keep going. And by the will of Allah,

He will grant you that opening. But I

want to say,

keep asking Allah to facilitate for you that

which is pleasing to Him.

Oh Allah,

make it easy for me to do that

which is pleasing to you.

Oh Allah,

make it facilitate

for me halal. Oh Allah, make it difficult

for me to do that which is displeasing

to you These are duas. You keep making

them. You ask Allah genuinely He will open

shukran for that question. Lovely and amazing.

shukran for that question. Lovely and amazing.
