Assalamu'Alaikum,
Insha'Allah this reaches everyone in the best of Imaan.
I'm pretty new here and never came over to this section so I thought I would just to say "Assalamu'Alaikum" and nice to meet you all!
I'm a wife and mother a convert/revert whatever you choose to call it. In the Quran it says that we are all born muslim so I guess even though I took Shahadah as an adult that would make me a revert.
We live in the USA...I'm a niqaabi and very happy being one. Very much at peace with it. I always wore long Khimars the slip over kind so easy with kids on the go. Than I wanted to wear niqab and honestly, I get the same looks and responses I did with the long khimar as I do with niqab so there's no big surprises there. The only thing and I'm sure sr's can relate is with the niqab I feel more protected and also have branched out to some different colors for niqab/khimar and it's nice I don't know why but before I wore niqab I only ever would wear black or navy blue...I love beige and browns and offwhites and whites, grays, etc....Alhamdulillah!
I love to garden and in my free time I clear large parcels of yard and just plant wildflowers in the spring...SubhonAllah they are a daily reminder of Allahs(swt) greatness no two flowers are ever the same and yet all grow together and thrive in peace and tranquility....that and they look really pretty...too!
I also have a large vegetable patch seeing that my husband grew up on a farm we always grow loads of veggies and I can or freeze them for the long cold winters....
Alhamdulillah I have 4 kids and Insha'Allah next year if we can save enough money we will send them to full time Hifz + Academic studies at our masjid... and Insha'Allah we are saving for Hajj too so that will be the best of all if we can afford the whole family to go...I have to get all or our passports current this spring to meet Saudia's rules on that for Hajj....
Well it's nice meeting you all and I hope Insha'Allah to get to know everyone better in the future.
