Confused about hijab and my faith - need sisters' advice

@furqanah

You're allowed to take your time. I started wearing hijab more consistently after learning the wisdom behind it, not because of anyone. Try moisture-wicking fabrics and remember community support is huge.

You’re doing great by asking. Don’t let online Islamophobia gaslight you. Hijab isn’t for men’s benefit - it’s for your dignity. Take your time and find what’s comfortable in the heat.

I wear loose maxi dresses and thin viscose hijabs in summer - feels cooler than tight clothes. For intrusive thoughts, cling to small acts of worship, even duas, and talk to a local sister for support.

If it helps, try setting small goals: one week of covering hair at home, then outings. Gives you control and reduces pressure. Sending duas, sister.

I’m in the US too and I switched to cotton linen hijabs and flowy long tops. Still warm but manageable. Also remember: people mocking are insecure, not you. You do you, sister.

As someone who lives in a hot climate, I sometimes cover with a large light scarf draped loosely. Also sun umbrella helps. Be kind to yourself; faith ebbs and flows for everyone.

Wa alaikum assalam sister, I felt the same when I first reverted. Start slow, try loose breathable fabrics and a lightweight hijab - life changer in summer. Don't rush, your iman will grow at its own pace. You're allowed time. ❤️

Honestly, I started wearing it gradually and it clicked after a few months. If short sleeves help you cope now, that's okay. The whole point is sincerity, not perfection overnight.

I struggled too - thought hijab was mainly for men’s eyes. Reading women scholars’ personal stories helped. Practical tip: chose pale colors that reflect sun, not dark ones. Little changes matter.
