  Thanks Veronica. Am Muslim, but lived a haram life def for the past 15 years. I feel empty, rootless… I started making dua, now I am aiming at salah… I don’t manage 5 times a day, I know it is another failure… I am 47, light-years behind your beautiful journey. Thank you for your inspiring posts. Please pray for my family and me.

  When I told my sister and mom I was going to take my shahada and become a muslim. First thing my sister said in shock was “are you then going to start wear a hijab all the time and everything”  It isn’t easy for us reverts at all to start wearing it all the time right away.

  I am a revert too. I have been Muslim for a year and feel about ready to start hijab, even though it’s scary. Thank you I love your videos so much ❤

  I am 11 years old, which is not info I would usually share but I want to share my experience.<br>I&apos;m in an atheist family that is always making fun of religion. Once my dad even said that the no. 1 thing he wanted me NOT to do when I grow up was to join a religion, but now I&apos;m considering Islam. The hijab is the one thing holding me back because I have no idea what my parents will think.

  This was so helpful I’ve currently been struggling as a revert because I’m constantly critiquing the way I look in a hijab and I’m also constantly worried about what my family will say as the only Muslim In the family.<br><br>Inshaallah I can put it on soon.

  Has anyone reading this felt “called” to wear hijab even before reverting?

  &quot;What is scarier than change is to be stuck in a place that you don&apos;t belong&quot;. That is really deep. Why is it scary? Could be because you might not even realize that you need to change, you get stuck in this cycle, inhibiting you from reaching your full potential. In other words, staying in a place that you don&apos;t belong in is scary since it can seem so harmless yet it&apos;s consequences can last a lifetime. May Allah (SWT) bless you for sharing this.

  Thank you for posting this video...I was born into a Muslim family but only recently starting wearing the headscarf at 41 years old. I wore it part-time then stopped wearing it. I actually have done many of the things you suggest...I bought an entire collection of hijabs in my favorite colors, I experimented with styles, and started wearing it to the grocery store. I also watched a ton of &quot;why hijab&quot; and hijab tutorial videos over the course of this past year. I found that people started respecting me more, which was so nice. But my stepmother would mock me and I could sense that she was thinking...&quot;so you really think you are better than me?&quot; However, I got discouraged because I have severe OCD that I actually take medication for, and I couldn&apos;t always get the hijab to &quot;look right.&quot; I feel so much frustration over not remembering how to put it on a certain way, not being able to replicate styles that I&apos;d already tried...that I just gave up. I really need some comfort right now. Islam is very important to me but so is fashion and looking nice, but I have OCD and if I can&apos;t get it to look nice, I get discouraged about wearing it. Do you have any suggestions?

  You are such a beautiful woman and so proud of your journey. I converted 35 years ago but only wear hijab while over seas my family are Christian and constantly remind me I’m going to hell because of my choice but you’ve given me strength to move forward thank you😊
