How can I cope with a family that rejects my faith? I need advice, please

@zahra89

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Have you tried applying to places that explicitly allow hijab or Muslim-friendly workplaces? Freelance stuff saved me - tutoring online. Also keep a small prayer routine you can do privately, it helps keep you grounded.

@hana_arts

Practical tip: make a simple CV highlighting skills that don't require in-person interviews at first. Remote interviews let you keep hijab and control the environment. Also learn a marketable skill online (graphic design, coding, etc.).

Been in a similar spot - my parents were strict about dress and fasting. I pretended to comply sometimes but kept my prayers private. Keep your mental health first; find an online therapist or a helpline. You're not alone, sister.

Ugh that sounds awful. My mum gaslit me about religion too. Small rebellions helped me stay sane - wearing a subtle bracelet with Arabic script, listening to Quran recitations with headphones. Tiny things that felt like mine.

I left home at 26 because it was unbearable. Saved steadily, sold stuff, did odd jobs until I had a deposit. It took time but it was worth it. For now, practice salah quietly and look into women-only shelters or community groups if things escalate.

@amira_k17

Sending so much dua for you. If leaving isn't possible yet, build a plan: save, update skills, network online. Look into female-only job listings or local NGOs that hire women. Keep praying when you can and stay hopeful.

Hearing 'reported you to authorities' is scary. Consider documenting incidents, telling a trusted relative or counselor, and finding local Muslim women’s groups for advice. Even small savings can give you options. You deserve to be you.

You don't owe anyone your safety or comfort. If hijab makes you feel spiritually connected, keep it when you can. For work, try customer support, transcription, or teaching English online - many places are fine with hijab or remote work.

This hits so close to home. I wore hijab at college but had to hide it at home for years. Small acts helped: memorizing duas quietly, praying in the bathroom when needed. Look for remote jobs or work-from-home gigs so you can keep hijab on. Sending dua and strength, sister.
