Lol I posted a question similar to his before, but I want to start wearing a Hijab in about a year and a half.. I'm planning on telling my mom soon, but I haven't done so yet because it's harder than it sounds. :( Anyways, upon asking my Muslim friend, she said that I should not wear the Hijab, because it would not fit my style and she likes my hair, and that I'm already good with my religion...What should I do? I know it doesn't matter what people think, but I can't help but to wonder. :S
ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY ARE MUSLIM-BORN. I DID NOT CONVERT!

this may sound corny but its so very true i surprised myself. when i started to wear hijab, i just asked my mum, she said okay, as long as i wear it properly. that doesnt mean the whoel extreme thing, its just that u shouldnt take it off then on as u please. once u wear it then thts it. the surprising bit is tht wen i wore it, my respect among my frends increased so suddenly, it ws like becoming mature overnight, not in a horrible miserable way, but rather a confident and pleasurable way. ur self respect and esteem also rises. tlking about style, its funny, coz ur whole style and fashion fits in with the type of hijab u choose to wear, how u wear it etc. if ur alredy good with ur religion, wht will u lose by bcoming even better.

Whether you were born and raised in a Muslim family or make your own choice to convert to it, the demands of Islam remain the same.
Wearing a hijab is considered an obligation by some sects that follow the teachings of Islam, but it would be both fair and accurate to say it is a custom or tradition within those sects, as the wearing of the hijab or burqa is NO T a mandatory requirement within the religion itself.
Being a Muslim does NOT require you to wear a hijab because Islam does NOT require you to wear a hijab.
The mandatory requirement that so many speak of does not exist in the Qu'ran.
Now, as to your decision to wear it, whenever you choose to wear the hijab, you should never do so with pride, but always with respect.
.Salaam

It is great if you want to but you should know that in the Quran the word Hijab is used as a curtain between, The Prophet Mohamed's Peace and Blessings be upon them, wives and Men who when they went to the window of the prophets house for private advice that no eye contact would be made and to speak a customary and formal speech between the two so they would not lust! As far as the head scarf and the veil and face scarf it was worn by both men and women due to the environment. First The head scarf to protect you from the heat of the Sun then the veil to prevent sand from going into your eyes and then a face scarf to prevent dust from getting into your nose mouth and lungs! This apparel was worn by both Women and Men also for the heat of the Desert or where ever and even the coolness of winter when it hits minus 10 -40 degrees below 0 everyone wears this apparel!
The Jalabia was also worn by both for it to insulated against the harsh climates it is not mandatory that is culture being modest that is ISLAM i Hope this Helps INSHA ALLAH GOD WILLING Peace and GOD BLESS and Happy New Year!

Just explain to them why you do, and tell them that you are allowed to do everything that they want except when it comes to your Religion they can't ask u to disobey you religion and tell them that they shouldn't make you choose between Allah or ur family or how u look.

ok...well every girl is supposed to have some doubts at first...
some even have doubts while they already have it.
i took the same dicision 3 years ago...and i'm very happy and proud...
i actually got more attached to it...
i've had few dreams where i saw myself without hijab....and i never knew what that ment...
i only know that it made me more protective of it...cause it scared me.
it makes you respect yourself even more....it is a great feeling to have the hijab...
and about your hair....believe me...you'll find yourself fixing it all the time and taking care of it....same thing..
some think that girls with hijab don't take care of their hair....well they are totally wrong....
sure the first few days will be tough only cause you're not used to it. But soon it'll be ok ..
Hijab is a dutty for every muslim girl and woman...so it's not about if it fits your style or not...you are the one who can make it fit to your style...and you know you can.
but Keep in mind that it's a lifetime dicision.
once you make the dicision...you can't take it back.

lol I'm going through almost the exact situation as you. I plan on wearing the hijab very soon but some people are holding me back and telling me I should wait. But honestly it really doesn't matter what they think b/c we should be doing this for Allah swt and only Him, not our friends/family.
Peace.

i can understand what do you feel
i can remember when i was 13
it was the first time i read the hadeth said that :if the woman get her first period ,nothing of her body should be appear accept this and this (face and hands)
so i go to my mum and dad and ask them to give me the permission to wear hijab
my father shouted at me and said :do you think that it is the last new fashion , you only want to be looks like your friends
my mother cried and told me that she would be angry with me if i did
the whole of my family mocked at me because i used to wear immodest clothes
but i never depressed ,i tried more and more then at least my mother sweared that she will sell for me a kerchief when i get my secondary school
and she did it
now i `m so happy for that and thank Allah for this great grace (alhijab)

okay your friend is wrong. if you have extremely beautiful hair mashAllah the more reason to cover it. i think you should make your own decision, no one here on yahoo answers will give you the right answer but yourself. you cant be easily persuaded by people who you dont know, look into hijab and make a decision you are proud of, and decision you can live with. there will be people on this site that will say you MUST wear niqab or they may say hi jab is an accessory you dont have to wear it, etc. all in all you have to look in to hadith and quran about hijab and make a good decision.
hope this helped
salaam

I'm going through the exact same as you too.
My advice is to wear it and not listen to what other people say.
It's between us and Allah. Don't wear it for anybody but Allah.
I am sure you look beautiful with the scarf on too.
