A gentle pull toward Islam again

Assalamu alaikum everyone, Lately, I've been feeling this pull back to Islam, and it’s really caught me off guard. A few nights ago, I just had this urge to read Surah Rahman again-it was always my favorite-and I ended up going through the first 20 or 30 verses. Honestly, I don’t fully get why, because I still have the same questions that made me step away a while back. When I was practicing, I used to wear hijab, and I’ve started missing that too, even though today I dress modestly by general standards. I feel like dressing more like I used to, but without the hijab for now. For context, I’m a revert, not born into a Muslim family. I’m just not sure what to do with these feelings, honestly. Thanks for hearing me out 🤍

I'm crying this is so relatable. Reverted years ago and I still get these moments. Allah doesn't expect perfection overnight. Missing hijab is a sign your iman isn't dead. Take baby steps, sis, you're doing great.

Sounds like your soul remembers. I went through same phase, and letting myself just read without pressure helped. Dress in a way that feels comfy and modest, Allah knows your heart. Don't overthink the feelings, just embrace them.

I totally get this. I drifted too and Surah Rahman brought me back. Your heart is leaning towards light, even with questions. Don't rush, just keep reading. The hijab feeling? That's your fitrah talking. Hugs.

Your post hit home. Sometimes we drift but the Quran's pull is like a rope. Focus on that connection first, hijab will come when you're ready. May Allah make it easy for you, revert sis here too!

Sis, that pull is real. Surah Rahman has a way of softening hearts. Take it slow, Allah sees your sincerity. Missing hijab is beautiful; maybe start with a flowy scarf as a step. I'll make dua for your journey.

Ahhh Surah Rahman hits different. I read it when I'm down. You don't need to have all answers right now; just keep the Quran close. That longing for modesty is Allah calling you gently. So beautiful, may Allah guide you.
