Weather you're planning on wearing the Hijab in the future, or already wear one but need a little motivation to continue to do so, I hope that this post helps you with your Hijab journey. If you currently wear a Hijab and are as comfortable and motivated as can be, Mash’Allah, you’re very blessed to be at that level!

With the negativity in the world regarding Muslims, it can be a little overwhelming to continue to feel as motivated to wear the Hijab. Don’t feel bad. It takes a lot of strength to continue with as much confidence when the world is constantly throwing negative views your way. But, you must not forget to open your eyes to those who embrace Hijab and find it beautiful.

I hope that the following tips can help you gain back your confidence or give you the confidence to embrace it one day, Insha’Allah.

1. Rethink Your Intentions
Why did you start wearing the Hijab? Why do you want to start wearing the Hijab? Is it to please your parents? To please another person? If you're wearing the Hijab to please anyone other than Allah, it will become a lot more difficult for you to continue wearing it. On the other hand, if you're wearing it for Allah and only Allah, you can remind yourself of this. Remind yourself that your purpose for wearing the Hijab is solely to please your Creator. With this in mind, it will become a lot easier for you to keep it on, since you know full well that as a Muslim, your goal in life is to please your Creator. However, if you try to wear it for someone else, you will be more inclined to take it off when your views regarding that person change. So the first step is to rethink your reasoning behind wearing the Hijab, and Insha'Allah it's only to please Allah.

2. Pray for Guidance
It can be overwhelming living in a country, going to a school, or working in a place where your peers don't embrace Hijab with open arms. Remember, whatever strength we have to overcome any obstacle in our lives, is only through prayer. So pray to Allah to give you the strength to continue wearing the Hijab. Pray for courage to face those who are against Hijab with confidence. Insha'Allah your prayers will bring you peace of mind and all the strength you need to wear the Hijab.


Wearing the Hijab doesn't have to be boring. Experiment with different patterns and colours to find what you like best. Having a few favourite Hijabs, that you know you can count on when you're having a 'Bad Hijab Day' is a total life saver! So experiment until you find something you love! Trust me, sometimes wearing a certain Hijab can make you feel 10x more confident.


Look in the media, there's so many amazing women who have accomplished so much while wearing the Hijab. Look to them for inspiration. Ibtihaj Muhammad, a Muslim-American fencer in the Rio 2016 Olympics, has recently become an inspiration, along with many others.


Remind yourself, that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, and a Hijab won't put a limit on it.
