TAG: If you know you`re a hijaabsta

I love doing tags! I saw this on thehijaabista's blog and thought I`d do it.

1. What is your Hijab story?  (When you started wearing Hijab, why, how you felt & anything you would like to add, also for non-hijabi’s how do you generally feel about Hijab etc)
My hijab story is VERY recent. A few days before Ramadhan 2011. I hadn`t always wanted to wear it. But, recently in the last few years, I started to see the beauty of Islam. I, then became a closet hijabi, wearing the hijab around my room to get used to it, leaving it on accidentally after doing my namaz, saying my hair was greasy, you name it, I`ve used it as an excuse to wear the hijab. I felt mentally ready for a long time, but there were personal issues that, I don`t think I`d want to share just yet, that made me resist wearing it. Then end of July 2011, I took the plunge and wore it. A few struggles, but I make dua to Allah (swt) to give me strength and courage to continue wearing it. 
How I generally feel? Hmm. I love it. I forget I`m wearing it. I feel so protected in it. Obviously everyone has their own struggles as to why they don`t wear the hijab, but honestly, take the plunge soon...Islam is beautiful and the hijab is part of that, alhamdulilah. 

2. Post a picture of you wearing your favourite Hijab.
This is my current favourite hijab:

3. What does Hijab mean to you personally, other than it being part of your Deen (Islam etc)? 
Well, thats what it is to me...its my way of expressing that I understand the beauty of Islam. And, its not an oppressive religion in the slightest. Its beautifullll, subhanallah!
