"To all the girls who complain about Hijabs: Please, please,
realise how lucky you are to be able to have the right to cover
yourself.
message form girl who wears hijab
Appreciate the fact that you do not have to hide your faith
from the world. Some of us do. Some of us live in families that are not
Muslim. I live in a family that I regret saying is very closed-minded
towards Islam. I converted because it was my choice, but I have to hide
it from everyone.
I am not free to read the Quran, wear a hijab or niqab
or pray to Allah, I have to do this in private. I ask you to look and
be thankful you have these freedoms. I was not raised Muslim and I was
never taught Arabic, all of this I had to teach myself. Be happy that
you can express your beliefs, I cannot and it pains me every day. Be
happy. In sha' Allah"
