I had a good and bad experience all in one day. The first was a tourist who thought I beautiful and took my picture and then I got on the subway and some white american men made a comment like they thought I was a terrorist. smh LOL

I had a 2 yr. old start crying and saying ma ma. I felt really bad, there weren't any men around so I put my nikab down for a min. just to show the kid there was nothing to be afraid of and then he thought i was playing pikaboo. lol.

mash'Allah, Sister! just found you & want to say how proud I am of you! I applaud your courage & iman. I'm a revert considering niqab & terrified at the same time. You're an inspiration to me, so jazak Allah khayr!

Depends on where you live sis but I wore it in Seattle once and it was OK. No one spoke to me but my sisters were saying I got a bunch of stares. I dont really notice though. I grew up in a small town where even the Hijab was alien so I carried the same attitude with the niqab. I just didnt notice or care to notice others reaction unless its in your face sort of thing. Niqab is amazing though. I got backlash from everyone(community,family strangers) but its addictive...you cant let it go. :D

I'm an American muslima living in Egypt and I'm so blessed that when I put on the Niqab all I got was "Masha Allah" and all good comments. You are incredibly brave to wear Niqab in the West, I'm asumming you live in the West. I didnt have to go through all the stares and comments, but if I did wear it in Fallon, Nevada where my parents live, I would probably get shot.

Assalam alaikom sis, I had somewhat the same experience as you did lol! I remember walking past this girl about 2-3 years old. She was with her mom at a shop who was busy looking at clothes and I stopped a little further away with my friend. She just stared at me, her mouth slightly agape lol and when her mom called her, she walked straight but her eyes remained on me lol. I had to burst out laughing there and then because it's just so hilarious having kids stare at like that.

asalamu alaikum soster!! I just slid onto your video, nice job!! I do not wear niqabs all the time, just wore them when it was very cold outside but took it off inside. I have had a couple bad reactions to my hijab but I just changed the subject of conversation. I think your choice of orange and blue is neat. :-)
