I finally did it. Let me introduce...

My hejab site.

http://ilovehejab.multiply.com

After a long procastination period (see blog entry dated April 2007), I decided to launch my site anyways, using a simple website to host it. A modest no frills site where I put up collections of stories and poems by sisters from all over the world (web) about hejab. My initial idea was just to have a place to collect these stories and poems to motivate non-hejabi muslimahs to go ahead and make that step towards Allah. I wanted to do it on my own site, but after years, I did not find anyone to help me put up the site with the designs that I already have, so today, Alhamdulillah, I decided to just put it up on multiply as it is so accessible to everyone, without having to be a member.

The stories (ROLE MODELS : BLOG STORIES) are those I personally find motivating and informative, while at the same time brings out humility and gratefulness to Allah s.w.t. The first story that I have posted is the one written by Yvonne Ridley, the feminist British journalist who was captured by Taleban years ago, and then became muslim and embraced hejab whole heartedly.

I've also uploaded quite a few poems (POEM COLLECTION) that I've collected over the years on hejab and have given the writers their credits unless its found to be anonymous.

Of course, there is also a FACT FILE listings (links) of various other sites that has information on Hejab, hadeeths, quranic verse pertaining to hejab, etc etc.

I'm also eager to receive submissions of Hejabi stories - from those who have been wearing hejab their whole life, or became a hejabi later in life. Hejabi, Niqaabi, all are welcome to send in their stories or poems. Please send your submissions to ilovehejab@gmail.com. To those who have not yet take the big step and has questions, feel free to email too. Inshaallah there will be an FAQ section that I'd add on later.

I look forward to hear from you.
