First Summer
as a Muslim
An American Convert Tells Her
Story
I remember my first summer as a
Muslim. It wasn't that long after I
converted, and I was barely into the
transition phase. I knew that hijab
is obligatory, but I was definitely
not ready to tell my family and the
world what I had just recently
discovered myself..

Niqabi,
interrupted
Wearing my niqab is a
choice freely made, for spiritual
reasons
Naima B.Robert
I put on my niqab, my face veil,

without a second thought. I drape it
over my face, tie the ribbons at the
back and adjust the opening over my
eyes to make sure my peripheral

Looking Beyond
the Hijab
Aseel Najib
When I was first asked to write a
piece on the hijab, I was unsure of
where to start. Perhaps I should
begin with a definition of what the
hijab is. Or a historical lesson on
the hijab throughout the centuries.
But maybe a personal narrative would
be more interesting?
