Take my salam… i dont wear a hijab but i want too however i fear that shaitan might capture my soul and i might take it off i dont want too make that mistake because i believe in islam too much too do such thing … i have friends that dont wear a hijab but they are highly attached to allah…they pray and recite the quran every day mashallah…i just dont know if i can live up too the expectations and if i will do it well…. its hard we all make mistakes the worse part is u learn that you made a mistake and you have too over come that exprience…

You are right. I think we both can agree on that.

I see, but I don’t know where you got the impression that I said by not wearing hijab you are being singled out and picked on?

Anyway, my bottom line remains that if you choose to wear hijab, wear it properly!:)

[...] 1) that I’m not the only Iman in this beautiful world … and seeing how I’ve been writing and commenting here and there using my name ‘Iman,’ it would be so wonderful and would help alleviate so much confusion if anyone with the same beautiful name of ‘Iman’ who happens to stumble upon my website and who happens to feel the inspiration to leave me a note to leave it under 1) their full name or 2) their first name and first letter of their last name! or 3) anything else that distinguishes Iman of iman-a.com from all the other lovely Imans. Thanks! [...]

oh..dont get me wrong…i totally understand what you mean I just have come across so many people who do not wear hijab out of fear of what others will think. It was more of a generalized statement. I didnt mean to attack your views..

Iman, welcome to my site…

Based on your comment above and particularly this one

Also you say that by not wearing the hijab you are being singled out and picked on

, I want to say that you didn’t even take the time out to read my entire post or comments. It would’ve helped if you actually read it! :)

“it’s important to keep in mind that a woman who wears hijab is more likely to be singled out as a Muslim than one who doesn’t and is more likely to be scrutinized!”
In response to that comment, sure we may be “scrutinized” by arrogant people who do not want to take the time to figure out why we wear it, but when you do not wear it you are being singled out and scrutinized by Allah, which is far more important than some ignorant person. Why should we be so cautious as to what other people think about us? As long as we are doing things that Allah has told us to do, we should not even question the side effects. To do so suggests that you lack faith. Also you say that by not wearing the hijab you are being singled out and picked on, however before I wore hijab I was picked on for negative reason ( rude men honking horns, ignorant comments on my “beauty”). When I wore the hijab people developed a whole new respect for me. A muslim women not wearing the hijab out of fear for what people think is not only haram, but it will eventually lead to the woman being ashamed of other things regarding the religion. Allah gave us the gift of being born as muslims, we should value this gift in every way possible and realize that some things are more important than what some people may think. Do you agree with everything in their religion or culture? Probably not, so why should you worry what they think about yours?

In light of the points you agreed with, no; it is not important to keep that in mind. But if you insist, I’ll suggest an observation that should logically be more important than that: there are probably more good muslim girls out there who do things that would improve the image of Islam without being recognized as muslims, because they don’t wear hijab, than there are bad muslim girls who do things that could tarnish the image of Islam.
