hijab: don't say you ready if you are not

In a mid year of 2013 before ramadhan came I started to interest about hijab. Moreover recently hijab has many styles to choose and especially in my country it became a trend. I see women with hijab becomes more modest and gorgeous. .like they have secret to reveal....and make men respect to them. Unfortunately many women don't know the true meaning of hijab and they just wear it because they have to but not because they want to. Anyway about the definition itself hijab is a veil that covers the head and chest, which is particularly worn by a Muslim woman beyond the age of puberty in the presence of adult male outside of their immediate family. It can further refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women that conforms to a certain standard of modesty. Hijab can also be used to refer to the seclusion of women from men in the public spheres, or it may embody a metaphysical dimension. The word of Al-hijab refers to the veil which separates man or the world from God (www.wikipedia.com).

So...back to the main topic that we talk about in the beginning,most of women have the same question like what I have now....do I ready to wear hijab? If it's the matter of obligation then im totally ready but now it leads to another question which is how far you get ready  for hijab? To myself I have a note that hijab means we must not just dress modestly but behave modestly. So if you just think that It's just an obligation but your heart is not ready then you will do it as you like without considering how you must behave when you wear it. Basically we must follow the islam syar'i in the way of wearing it so we don't get it wrong. How about me now?did I have behave modestly....well I never smoking,never drinking alcohol,and never go clubbing...so did I behave enough? I better say no.. I want to advance my religious side....I want to pray more....and I want to learn more about islam...the religion that I believe since I was born. Im in progress to advance how I connected with God and inshaallah every good start will lead to good end. Can't wait to officially wear hijab soon and I will let you know on my blog post (note:my mom ask me to wear it soon....:p).
