Normally, sans religion, your dressing should depict who you are and how wish to be addressed.
   Dressing moderately is the starting point, but how about dressing the way we ought to as muslims?
   Its not one easy task, wearing an hijab that covers your curves. But a Muslim should always think and remember what wasput down for us to do.
How do we move ahead, how do we follow the sunnah of the prophet, please Allah and also be contented? If theres anybody that is vast with the use of her hijab, kindly post how you were able to transform from the head opening type to the body covering type

Hmmmn, thanks for this thread. I like it so much.

Dressing the right way(with the perfect hijab) should not be compromised because it is a commandment. Allah says in the Qur'an-

. . .draw their headcovers over their necks and bosoms and not reveal their adornment . .(read more suratunnur,24 vs 31)

'O Prophet, Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their outer garments about themselves (when they go out). That is better so that they may be recognised and not molested. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.' [Al-Ahzaab, 33:59]

I av bn wearn hijab from childhood So wearing it is just normal.At that time,My hijab was the one that matched my clothing and the size did not matter. I didnt really understand what the perfect Hijab is like until after my secondary education.

transforming, I understand isnt very easy but I wont be talking of how easy that was for me but generally on what I think are factors to it.

Faith- your eiman goes a long way. Understanding that what u'r doing is for Allah alone and that the reward is from Him is one big step. You dont however wait until the Eiman grows(how does one even measure that). In that case, sow your hijab even if you cant wear it yet and you'd be surprised. .

self esteem- this goes a long way. many pple are not wearing it only because of what their friends might say or because they think they may not fit into some societies or just because they think they'd be less attractive. I bet whoever ca not take you for whom you are is not deserving of your association.

Family/society- the family plays a role. If u av parents and siblings who respect your choice and support your decision, it would be a smooth ride

knowledge- some distractors would come up, like d NL ones. they'll tell you the hikab is arab culture But with your knowledge of Islam and understanding of the description of the hijab, nothing might shake your resolve.

friends- If u are with righteous pple, they'll lift you up when u tend to be falling short of it. these are your sisters in faith, encouraging u further.

Am still hoping to be better though. May Allah help us all

think theres a thread on this already

^^ the posts were deleted.

i thought as much. i was the first to respond and scash agreed with my views.

was just wondering if we have autocratic supermod now cos the new gentleman Jarus wouldnt go deleting posts.

Nice one deols, m just seeing this thread.

like i posited earlier.

its ur inward xter that will take u to heaven and not ur appearance. looks are deceptive. even though i support moderation but then it doesnt mean that u should now be coering ur entire body as if u are enslaved.

dress smart, Behind up moderately. wear jeans if u have to and then llok good.

^^ what is ur own. op asked fellow Muslims to mention their experiences and am sure u'r aware Islam has a guideline to this. So, ur opinion doesnt count

thanks Bhus, so wats gonna be happening now
