Assalamualaikum’ friends,
Here I am back with another entry, Girl, today’s topic is about me deciding to accept a new commitment,
WEARING A HIJABi
Yeah, I know right? Me? A hijab? I mean let’s be real it is definitely possible. I can wear it anytime I feel like it. Or to occasions that are needed for me to wear a hijab.
To some who knows my story, girl stop. Stop it right thurr… That is not why I was going to wear a hijab. Haha, moving on.
It has hit me for long, since the time at work. Sidetrack, my people at work are amazing. My brothers’ and sisters’ there, they grabbed my hand and take me to a path that is going to benefit me in the afterlife. I am so glad they dragged me to worship my Creator who gave me this life, although, at times, I was very stubborn.
And as time passes by, Alhamdullilah, It has been in my routine ever since. It was hard at first, especially waking up for Subuh prayers, I am NOT a morning person. Sometimes, I was lazy, sometimes, I didn’t get to do it as I was outside and I got like a shit ton of makeup on my face. I won’t say that I’m able to pray 5 times a day yet, but Insyallah, May He continue to guide me through,
It has made me reflected more in my life, made me have questions I’d never thought I bother to think about (because I am a very curious girl) but it was this one question that had the biggest ‘?’ in my head, When should I wear a hijab?
I had thought of it since months ago but it really didn’t trigger me till this day, It has been in my mind all day. I got this 85% of feeling that I should go for it and give it a try, but as told, It is a big commitment that I must hold close to my heart. Time and time, I’ve searched for Hidayah (Nah I wasn’t searching for me *ba dum tss*) hehe. Alright, moving on, I’ve searched for Hidayah and I am thankful for the advice my friends provided me and also from the Web Source and The Quran, (not in Jawi of course).
Niat, ( intentions )
This, I believe beat out all other advice that I got, ask yourself, why did you want to wear it? Who are you wearing it for? It hit me, I knew there is always an intention to what you are doing. But I didn’t really know the intentions of wearing the hijab. All I knew was that we are most likely advise to do it because we should cover ourselves (especially women) to avoid evil things that could take place. A friend of mine at work, told me that, and I’m going to be honest, I told him that I feel like wearing a hijab. Why? Because almost everyone tells me to do so.
And he stopped me, ”Don’t rush, practice your rukun Islam, pray 5 times a day, find your Hidayah, and when He give you the Hidayah, and you need to make the effort to find the Hidayah, it does not come by itself, Wallahualam.. take that step, grab that commitment”
I admit I’m still lost with what I should do and I’m still skeptical to turn my life around, I don’t know what is making me feel this way, the 15% of me. I know its a huge commitment to take, and I know I’m not ready to take it, But I hope sooner or later in the midst of learning the meaning of life and also Him, I will be able to take that step.
As of now, I’m still going to be me, my friends’ would say, ”be the Dewi Donut you are,” girl bye. Hahaha, I’m just going to throw my old habits away. Pray for me my friends, Amin and Goodnight,
Assalamulaikum’
