Hijab and standing strong

I read this article from a great new website I recently found and I was so moved, mashallah. It answered a question about taking off hijab and make such amazing points - on how it's not meant to be pleasing to any one but God, is part of the belief that “Islam is not a state of being but it is a process of becoming,”and that the 'rush' of being a hijabi may diminish but that the act is not small but one that helps our spiritual enlightenment. The sin of not wearing itor not being as modest is not to be focused on but rather the act of sinning period. Additionally, a commenter noted that wanting to be attractive for others may feel good at the moment but it fades and then what was the point?  


That is so powerful to me because I have lived my youth doing that- rushing to look good, be sexy, to please others and it was a high that never satisfied, it was never gratifying. Islam saved me from demeaning myself and beyond that, from looking for peace from people and finding it in God. Hijab for me is the daily part of my commitment to God and my faith, its neither a small act or the 'end all be all' (I wont explode if a hair is showing but I would feel exposed, and did when I wore an outfit that turned out to be a little revealing) but part of wanting to be the best Muslim I can be, in addition to prayers and other acts of worship


I worry with the upcoming round of job interviews about hijab and if I should take it off to get hired. But this message reminded me that the worries of this life will never be as important as my faith and standing by what is right. Hijab is what's right in my life and I pray God blesses me for it and helps me stand by it and adhere to it.


May God forgive me for the times I struggle with hijab and staying modest and bless me with wisdom and courage
