- How do you know you’re ready to start wearing hijab? When should you put hijab on as a Muslim Woman?
Do you feel like you might be ready to start wearing hijab?
"How do you know you're ready?" is a question many Muslim girls ask their mothers before they start wearing hijab and a lot of new Muslims ask this question when they embrace Islam later in life. That's why I created this video to help you figure out if you're ready to wear hijab as a Muslim woman.
In this video, I will take about what hijab is, when we are supposed to start wearing one, how we are supposed to know when we are ready to take that step and of course I am going to share with you my personal experience on when I knew I was ready to start wearing hijab.

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.
Asalamualaykum Cemile. I read this comment and wanted to reply because I want you to know that you are not alone. First off, you are not a failure. Hijab is ONE requirement of Islam, but that doesn't mean you don't fulfill any other requirements. You are probably a better Muslim than you think you are! I am 42, so not much different in age than you, and I JUST started wearing hijab. That doesn't mean that I didn't practice Islam at all before the hijab!! I just means I never wore hijab. So don't beat yourself up and know that it's never too late to start. I myself am struggling because I care a lot about how I look (don't we all?") and don't always get the hijab styled in a convenient and nice looking way that won't fall off through the day. So I get discouraged. But deep down I know this is right, and I will keep trying my best. Also, I JUST started praying 5 times a day this past year. At one point, I never though i could manage that. I would pray maybe once a day for about a year. But then slowly, Allah made it easy to pray more and more and I got up to 5 Alhmadullilah. Allah makes Islam easy for those who are sincere. I know you can do this!! Be brave and remember that Islam is for our protection as women. :)
@@light3940 thank you for your very touching reply. I am wearing hijab for the past 7 days; it feels natural to be honest. You are right… it is never too late, even if it is only one tiny step at the time. Thanking you and wishing you all the best truly from the bottom of my heart.
You should see a doctor too. Depression kills.
I was 27 when I began wearing the full hijab-it was the easiest part at that stage
May Allah make it easy for you and for you to be successful in this life and In the hear after. May Allah also strengthen your iman and allow you to pray your 5 day salahs♥️
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 can definitely relate to your experience! We all get tested like this! May Allah swt make it easy for you ☺️
I am 11 years old, which is not info I would usually share but I want to share my experience.
I'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'm considering Islam. The hijab is the one thing holding me back because I have no idea what my parents will think.
Can I just say, that is very brave of you at such a young age. I’m 24 and still nervous to express my beliefs around my family. I also grew up in an atheist family and grew up hearing my mother make fun of religion as a whole all the time. I didn’t start thinking for myself about it until I was about 20. So you at 11 thinking for yourself, about such a deep topic, is awesome 🙏
Don't let the hijab part hold you back. If you feel certainty that Islam is the truth, then you should take your Shahada. You do not need to practice perfectly at first, especially in your case. As long as you do your best to follow what you can, Inshallah you will be rewarded for your efforts.
i advise you to wait a little longer as you are so young and wearing a hijab for you means opposing your parents. you can still be a good muslim without wearing a hijab. my advise as a fellow muslim sister would be to wait till you are independent.
I am 13 and it wont stop me and just remember Allah is with you and he will look after you and don't be scared JUST EXPRESS YOUR RELIGION! may Allah help you and protect you!
@@itstaylor47I'm also 13 and a revert ❤ nice to see somebody like me
"What is scarier than change is to be stuck in a place that you don't belong". 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't belong in is scary since it can seem so harmless yet it's consequences can last a lifetime. May Allah (SWT) bless you for sharing this.
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 ❤
Girl u are gonna feel so secure trust me it's realllyyyy fun..!!!💙💚💛
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.
Inshaallah I can put it on soon.
In sha Allah
Inshallah! Good luck girly and take your time. It’s taken me 5 years and I am finally starting to try on hijabs at home and while driving. You got this 🤍
Thank you so much for ths video makes me cry i feel you. ....revert 2023 but still now wearing hijab on but in my heart Allah knows whts i feel❤❤❤
I love that you made this video and talked about some of the insecurities surrounding hijab as a revert. I’m exploring Islam seriously with the support of my partner who is a Muslim, and I’ve taken a big interest with hijab and think it’s such a lovely practice, but I struggle with feeling nervous that people will judge me as a white woman or think I’m culturally appropriating by wearing it. I have a whole collection of them already and feel comfortable and beautiful when I practice putting them on at home, but I can’t get myself to fully go hijabi in public since I live in the Midwestern US and this area is not the most compassionate towards Muslims. Inshallah I will get my confidence soon and will stop thinking about what others will think or how they will react.
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 "why hijab" 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..."so you really think you are better than me?" However, I got discouraged because I have severe OCD that I actually take medication for, and I couldn't always get the hijab to "look right." I feel so much frustration over not remembering how to put it on a certain way, not being able to replicate styles that I'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't get it to look nice, I get discouraged about wearing it. Do you have any suggestions?
How would you feel about khimar? It just hangs a certain way, so it's not something that requires a lot of styling which might help you
Although I'm not a professional myself but have you tried keeping one style at all times. When you change styles often it is quite overwhelming and you often don't get it right. So I would suggest to pick one style which is the easiest and works for every event.
I wear a hijab and I haven't even converted yet. I love❤ it and makes me feel closer to Allah. Inshallah. Would you please give me some advice and tips to bring the best convert to Muslim I can be🎉
Thank you for your comment I’m in a similar position I haven’t reverted yet but I want to wear the hijab Today might be the day
Hello sister! It sounds like you’re already a Muslim by the way you act and write and behave as a person! You sound ready for shahada and you should take it as soon as you can because it will definitely make you even closer to Allah and help you in your journey in figuring things out. SubhanAllah May Allah always guide you 💖✨
Sister always take the shahada first. You don‘t need a witness, you don’t need to go to a mosque, you can do it by yourself and it counts inshallah.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm new to Islam, I have no Muslim relatives or friends and I live in Germany so it's not easy for me to start wearing the hijab. But I know for sure that I want to and your video confirmed it to me even more. Thank you so much again. May Allah bless you.
Same here! What city? I live in Berlin ❤
@@SlavicRusa Unfortunately I live far away from Berlin. Near Cologne. But it's nice to know someone's out there knowing how I feel ❤️
@@ld1280 I used to live in Sauerland (Wickede an der Ruhr), 20 min by train/car to Dortmund! Been to Cologne many many times ❤️🙌🏻 Some call it Artsy Berlin of the west!
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😊
That awful! telling you that you will burn is ABUSE, that not a loving family not only they are gaslighting you, but they go against the bible .it literally written that it not people place to condemn only the creator!
why do still bother to go that far to be told that you are destined to be below and torture, every time you visit them!? Wha they are doing goes again every holy book of the Abrahamic religion even pagan religion don't do this. Put some boundaries and stand up for yourself that you won't accepted to be talk down that way (really gross that they think so low of you that they threaten you with hell) or cut them off completely.
Has anyone reading this felt “called” to wear hijab even before reverting?
Yes me! and everyone around me laughed. I’ve always felt like I was muslim but in a catholic family. It’s tough to start but I feel it’s my calling
I am excited to start my hijab journey. InshaAllah I am as good at it as you. Thank you ❤
I’m having trouble dressing myself let alone the hijab…. I used to wear a tshirt and pants like every day… now I don’t know what to wear…. How baggy are the clothes supposed to be? What exactly is ok and what is not…. Like it can be overwhelming.
I know your comment is a little old but I just wanted to say that It's ok to have such a dilemma . Even I often have it despite living in a Muslim country surrounded by Muslim people. One thing I'd recommend is to research the requirements on your own and see what exactly are the requirements given by Allah Almighty instead of what people think is right. But basically u should choose clothes which don't highlight your figure. I have loose sweatshirts and pants(which aren't tight) for that. I also wear shalwar kameez and dresses
Oh and even after all this time hijab is something I haven't been keeping up regularly. I'm planning on wearing it properly now which is why i was watching the vid. May Allah make it easier for me
Salam sister that’s one exactly I’m doing watching videos in TH-cam about hijab. I want to dissolve my doubts and finding comforts to Muslim women like who. Thank you for this video I’m motivated to stay true to our religion and please Allah SWT
I’d love to know more about the Qur’an says about hijab and what the benefits are more specifically. Also, what is it that Allah wants women to achieve through hijab?
I’m fascinated by Islam.
Hijab is a symbol of modesty in islam. The requirements are different for both men and women . Aside from the clothing , men are told to lower their gaze whenever talking to a woman and women are instructed to water a head covering. Both is done to ensure respect and modesty between the two genders
very, VERY simply, hijab is worn for modesty. however, there are other benefits to why hijabis wear hijab:
•to protect her awrah. which basically means that she will be seen for her intellect, personality, and self before her outward appearance.
•to become closer to god. a hijabi is connected to god through her practices, and this is just one of many religious practices that help her to connect. think of how catholics pray the rosary, or how christians take communion. its the same idea.
•the idea of veiling is common in many religions! christianity and judaism being two very common examples. for me, im more “spiritual”, maybe what you might consider witchcraft, and i occasionally veil to cover my crown chakra to retain my spiritual energy and feel spiritually stronger and more resilient. i heave heard from my hijabi friends that they feel similarly by wearing hijab.
any hijabis please feel free to correct me! but this is what i have heard from my hijabi friends and also through reading the qur’an. ❤
Thank you so much I really needed this ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Veronica.
Thank you so much for this video.
You are such a happy vibe...Subhan Allah..Thank u soo muchhhh...May Allah unite us in jannah..ameen
Nice video.. Very motivating... ❤❤❤
Thank you ❤ May Allah bless you ❤
Thnk u so much ❤
Thank you sister. Your advise is very good about the hijab.a hijabi womene more beuetiful then non hijabi .so I think , all muslimah need to try wearing hijab.I am from Bangladesh.
thank you for this video, i have been very interested in islam and the hijab lately. im 14 and want to convert to islam but i just dont know if i can commit just yet. i think i understand and know alot about islam but preforming salah is something i need to know. even though i am an athiest, i love the hijab and would like to wear it because it not only makes me feel beautiful but protected also😄. sometimes i practice hijab styles in the mirror with a scarf and i feel so complete. i love you and your content Veronica and your smile is pretty Masha'Allah (forgive idk if im allowed to say that)
If you believe in god you're not an athiest. You can take your shahada in private and still learn. An athiest goes straight to hell. Do if you're not. Please say your shahada❤
Hello,
Head covering is part of my faith. I'm currently job hunting and considering the hijab for work.
I've been looking at different styles.
Have you ever tried the ready to wear/ instant hijabs that have the inner cap and scarf attached? Since I'm new to the hijab, should I start with these?
Thanks.
I have tried them when I was younger. One of their biggest advantages is that it doesn't take long to wear it. Usually people go for styling a hijab and if some day you're running late, u don't put it on it breaks the habit. So even if u want to style your hijab on your own I would recommend to have a ready to wear one too for busy days.
I started wearing hijab
But my husband is not happy about it. He is from proper muslim family all of his sisters and nieces wear hijab and even niqab. He explained it that they live in UAE and its islam country. He says me practice your religion, don't show to people your identity, and don't irritate them
We live in the uk. And our second home is Czech. And he says it's ok wear in uk but when we visit Czech Republic you should take it off
It is so upseting
Your god's order or your husband's? The creator or the creation?
Your hijab is an act of worship, your husband is the wrong for trying to pull you away from Islam. As a wife you don't have to listen to him if his requests go against Islam and make you compromise your values. Stay firm in your beliefs because at the end of the day all of us will only be answering to Allah swt.
Try explaining him, clear his doubts about Islam, start thinking logically, you wearing hijab can be motivation and promotion to other muslims and non-mulims
My family is the only thing that scares me about it, my friends accept me though
I'm not Muslim, but live in a Muslim majority country. Around me, many girls start to wear it the January 01 of the year they will turn 16. It seems helpful to do it all together and have less attention on themselves for that 'decision day'.
I'm proud of you
Do you have to wait to take your shahada? Because I want to be Muslim I’m learning a lot and I want to start wearing it now but I don’t know if that’s what I’m supposed to do?
No you don't have to. You can even do it by yourself, if you want to be a Muslim go for it because tomorrow is not promised
I know this struggle 😢 I practice off n on - but also I feel that imposter syndrome thing since I don’t know a lot. I also fear I’ll find things out that prove me wrong just like with Judaism and Christianity and I an so afraid of it breaking my heart again. Ive been searching for years and I am tired. I pray please Allah it is not disrespectful to wear hijab when I have these fears.
Is it hard to be visibly Muslim and living in western country?
Hello I have been going back & forth about converting to islam for years, However recently starting learning more about the religion. Even starting to learn the prayers and schedules, however I have really long hair down by my behind, will there be a way to cover my hair ?
I also have long hair and I usually braid it or sometimes tie it in a bun.
i am currently 12 years old, and i just started wearing the hijab for about 35 days now. everyday i am hesitated to continue because my eniviroment is all non-hijabis, i always feel like im the odd one out and the weird one many people told me im too young and that i should wait,but i love the idea of the hijab and i want to make allah proud of me ive already hit the age of puberty but i dont know weather to take it off or continue can someone please help me?
I think if you feel like you’re doing the right thing, let go of what everyone else thinks. I wish I had the courage to put it on earlier on like you. Do what you think is right and what makes Allah SWT happy. Ask him to guide you and help strengthen your Iman. It’ll help you tune out people’s opinions which ultimately don’t matter. Good luck!
Thank you so much may Allah grant you happiness for helping me🥰🩷
what are you wearing at 0:39?
7:40 you totally busted me😅
Hi, so I’m 13 years old and my family is Muslim but we don’t practice or pray 5 times a day well I have gone to the praying place when it was “Bajram” I’m sorry if I didn’t say it right but I hope u understand it okay so I wanna wear the Hijab but I’m not sure cuz I’m only 13 and I live in Italy so I really don’t know if I should wear the Hijab or not, can u please tell me what to do
Hi 😄 I'm twelve and just started wearing the hijab on the 15th of December. I live in the USA in Virginia so there aren't many hijabis here but I like wearing it and it's great so I say go for it!!
Hi! I want to wear the hijab but I’m scared of what my friends will think. and I feel like the hijab is the thing that’s always missing in my outfits. And I would be the only person wearing the hijab in my school… I want to wear it but I’m a bit skeptical. Any advice? thank you!
I kind of feel the same about it but it's more about people near where I live cuz there's almost no Muslim but we have to remember that the most important thing is pleasing Allah, he is our creator and told us to do it.. Imagine if on the day of jugement Allah asks us why we didn't wear it and our answer is " I was scared of people's opinion "? Does that mean that Allah's opinion is less valuable? It's not okay... I don't know about how it is going for you but try to hide your hair and dress modestly as much a possible. InshaAllah we'll wear it as soon as possible!!
@@awassyk1673 thank you! :D
I just wanted to ask....i have been watching videos about hijab many scholars say u have to wear a coat as well and dont wear makeup over it...becaz it attracts people....does covering head and chest and wearing loose clothes not enough?can anyone guide over it?
Soooo i have a question, I'm a muslimah, anddd I know im mentaly/emotionaly ready to wear the hijab, I know its an obligation but there are some factors lets say things I do that I assume I should stop before wearing the hijab. So stuff like cursing or playing videogames, listening to music, hanging out with people who arent muslim or were born muslim but dont pray and drink and eat pork and stuff but none of that affects me technicaly, so, now, i spoke to a friend of mine and he said its not said nowhere that women HAVE to wear it and will end up in hell if they dont, but theres so many things to be fixed before you start wearing it, as well as my parents, but then some people that have learnt the Quran already have told me that its fine and its better to just start wearing it and then slowly work ur way to fixing everything cuz no one is perfect and you cant stop everything at the same time right away bcz thatll just bring u to the overworking urself mentaly and youd want to just take it off cuz its hard to do so much and all of a sudden none of it. Whats ur opinion on this, is it possible to know?
hi
😍😍😍
The niqab is the key to the door of heaven and the honor of the Muslim woman.

Do you have to pray when you wear a Hijab?
You have to wear hijab while praying. It's the other way around
Omggg first❤❤
Thank you!!!
I can't ask my mother. We are a muslim family but my mother hates being muslim
beautiful
You're very kind!
This is not hate. I am not trying to spread hate but as a fellow Muslim I just want to point out that every small step is good, but we should acknowledge that if we are expressing our beauty even after "hijab" and we think that the headscarf is enough, then we're wrong. The hijab is about not letting people see your beauty unless they're allowed to see it, that's my way of paraphrasing but something similar is written in the Qur'an. We can't be doing anything that will catch people's attention in public in that kind of way where they are attracted to us because of our appearance, if we wear hijab in public and that happens, it defeats the purpose of hijab.
I hear you but I think you're focusing on the wrong things. With all due respect you have no authority to dictate when someone's hijab is invalidated. I show up to inspire young women to embrace hijab, successfully so, and I lost count of messages I receive from women being thankful for such relatable and easy to understand content that helped them put their hijab on. This is positive influence that brings women closer to Islam. You can do what's right for you and I will continue to create a positive impact for Muslim women with the help of Allah swt.
@@VeronikaEdali I really really appreciate what you're doing and I pray that Allah blesses you with the highest level of Jannah, and I believe that I have no authority to say when someone's hijab is invalidated, only Allah knows that, but unless I'm interpreting the Qur'an wrong, if we do anything that is able to attract the opposite gender in public in a way that can be hidden but we choose not to hide it, it's wrong. When I say that, I am not thinking of one specific person, that's just what I've learned in general and from personal experiences. Like I said, every small step is good, but seeing so many Muslim women behaving in an attractive manner online, even if their intentions are good, it's not good for the people watching, especially if the viewers are of the opposite gender. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. If I make any mistakes I appreciate being told that I'm wrong and I hope I can do better, but I really think that if Muhammad SAW was here today he wouldn't want women doing things on the internet that expose their beauty in a certain way.
@@princepscretaceus1046 I know this is a very old comment, but I'd like to point out a different perspective to anyone else reading this that what another person finds attractive is very subjective and dependent on the person. Take this with a grain of salt or leave it, but it is my understanding that not dressing to attract attention from the opposite sex is a matter of the person's intent when he or she is getting dressed. For example, if there is a man and a woman knows that he likes a certain color, and she wears that color on purpose to get his attention versus a woman wearing the same color simply because she thinks it's a pleasant color regardless of what anyone else thinks. It's not that there's anything wrong with that color in and of itself, it's her intent when putting it on. As the hadith says, "deeds are only by intentions." And in the Quran, we are told to dress well. (7:31) Or say smiling. Smiling to be pleasant is a form of charity. Smiling to flirt with someone you aren't married to- not so much. So, all things being equal as far as following guidelines for looseness of clothing and coverage, it's not whether or not something can attract, it's whether or not your intention is to attract.
I'm not ready to wear a hijab. I will never wear a hijab. because I'm a man.
i am hindu but i like how hijabs make me feel, but it scares my family :((
I've always wondered why Muslims believe in the killing of apostates...Can anyone explain this?
