Why don't she like hijab?

Question

I'm 16 and a reverted Muslim from Christianity and my MOM IS NOT supportive of my changing of religions. My father and brother is though.. My dad gave me a hard time at first, but after we went to the Mosque and talked he knew I was serious. Whenever I wear my hijab my mom looks at me and shakes her head and says its BULLCRAP.

She told me to take it off, but I said "no" because Allah wants me to wear it and God is Supreme and comes before everyone and he is THE ONLY one that can send me to HEAVEN!! She said I am being disobedient according to the Bible and I told her that Bible says that Women should cover their heads (nuns). What to DO? She went off on me today for wearing it AGAIN!!!

* I love Hijab....The Qur'an says it mandatory!!!

Answer 1

All will be well once your parents have disowned you!

Answer 2

What a weird, crazy mixed-up world we live in.

The Qur'an does not say you should wear a hijab.

Lots of women who say they are muslim do not cover their hair.

Sweetie who said it will be all happy when you thread on the right path....? It is not you will be faced with calamities but it is the way you take them into consideration and deal with them, I was born into a Muslim Family and at times it is so evident and clear that many do not like the Attire that I adopt, however I let this go, I did not wear it to make them Happy! So remain steadfast and let it brush by Insha'Allah your rewards is with Allah, and who knows this may be your TEST.

Answer 5

Obviously your mom will have some trouble at first accepting your decision so don't worry about it. It's no use to get into arguments with her about it...just kind of ignore it but in a nice way. Try getting on her nice side and maybe you can teach her a little about Islam...then she might understand you better.  

Answer 6

what a strong person you are! its so inspiring for me to read how strong you are with your faith and makes me sad that many muslims do not strive as hard as you. consider the fact that you are wearing the hijab your personal jihad. that is how I see it. what you are doing will be greatly rewarded because of the fight you have to put up for it.

Unfortunately, i do not think there is a quick fix to your dilemma. As much as i would love to wave a magic wand and make everything hunky dory, your family is upset that you have left their religion and I can see where they are coming from. I think that with time and a little bit of knowledge on their side, they will learn to accept you. Be kind with them, buy them books about Islam and discuss your change with them. Assure them of the reasons why you cover your body and how imprtant it is to you and maybe things will get better. Ask them why it bothers them so much, considering it causes no pain or trouble to them.

You are in my prayers.

Answer 12

the head cover is not hijab..hijab means more to it..

covering just head is not comand of Allah Allmighty,nor it is mandatory

Answer 13

your mother only fears for you, all mothers want what's best for their children

some muslim mothers oppose their daughters' decision to wear hijab so i'm not exactly surprised about your christian mother freaking out

you still have to respect and honor her but you shouldn't obey any one other than your creator Allah

Answer 14

Your mother is very disappointed  with you.

your rejecting  your parents religion for Islam.

you should consider yourself lucky,

if a Muslim teenager was  behaving like you are

there  would be serious  consequences.

If your mother tells you to remove your hijab in your parents

home, then do it.

Answer 15

Mashallah..I really admire your courage i really do..however i dnt know what to say to you cos both my parents are muslims nd i never been in this situation.Inshallah Allah(swt) will help your mother nd your family overcome this and maybe theyll revert to Islam inshallah.
