I started to be dressed in tasattur/hijab but I cannot put up with it. I cannot be happy; I am being alienated from the religion. What should I do?

Dear Brother / Sister,

Hijab is the way of dressing that is appropriate for the nature of women. A woman who is mentally healthy and who can think truly should be happy and tranquil in hijab. If you feel the opposite, it means there are problems with something else.

Firstly, you should be careful about the environmental factors. If there are no conscious women who wear hijab around you, you might be affected from the women who do not wear hijab. You should talk to religious women and chat with them. Religious talks and religious friends will strengthen you spiritually.

Get rid of your ephemeral desires. You should always remember the purpose of your creation and your lofty targets.

Satan will definitely pester a woman who has just started to wear hijab. Ignore the delusions coming from Satan.

Satan approaches man when he is in deathbed, experiencing hard times due to the trouble of death and says to him, "Deny Allah and you will get rid of this trouble." Thus, he wants man to leave this world without belief. As a matter of fact, man will not get rid of his trouble when he denies Allah; on the contrary, he will fall into bigger and eternal trouble; he will go to Hell along with Satan, in whom he takes refuge.

Satan does not do it only in deathbed; he does the same thing in the course of life. You die in the same way as you live. Therefore, Satan paves the way when you are healthy in life in order to apply his sly plan in deathbed.

He addresses you as follows: "Take off your hijab and see how peaceful you will be; your trouble will end." It is just like the statement he utters when you are in deathbed. The end of a person who takes refuge in Satan will not be good.
