Why I wear the hijab

”Do you ever get hot?” ”How long is your hair?” ”Isn’t it awkward?” These are some of the questions I’m asked when people meet me for the first time. No, actually, it’s quite comfortable. I never have to worry about bad hair days and my hair getting wet in the rain. This is the life of a Muslim woman who wears the hijab. She is liberated in her covering.
