How I Began Wearing Hijaab
by Shezena T. Mohammed
Everyone wants to go to heaven. It’s just something that every God-fearing person wants. Some people realize what they need to do to get there, and do it, but most of us, in my opinion, don’t. Maybe they think they’ll do it later in life or how they are leading their life isn’t really that bad, even though God has explicitly told them to lead it a different way. I was in seventh grade when my mother decided that she was going start wearing a hijaab.
