WHEN a woman decides to be in hijab, she is making a life-changing decision; one that can either be easy or difficult to make. Everyone thought I would wear the hijab right after I performed the umrah in 2012. There is even a World Hijab Day, which is an annual event founded by a New York resident, Nazma Khan, in 2013. Its stated purpose is to encourage women of all religions and backgrounds to wear and experience the hijab. And, we both agreed with British Prime Minister Theresa May who said, “what a woman wears is a woman’s choice” when she acknowledged World Hijab Day in Westminster this year.
