Around me a lot of my friends who have not hijab. The reasons are many, either because they are not ready, and because they wanted to edify first. Therefore, today I want to share a little bit about my experience in a hijab. Should not it?
I am not a user of a small hijab. I seem pretty much the same as most children in Indonesia, my school, my play. Incidentally, I entered junior high and high school featured in Jakarta, but that does not mean there are all schools provide a positive influence. Honestly, I think even with a school there I've got a greater chance of falling into bad association. Long story short, my school passable 'free'.
I probably still protected by God, thank God I still fairly clean association. But that does not mean I truly Islamic. Honestly, had never crossed my mind that I would be veiled. Until finally my friend bench in class X workout wear hijab every Friday and told me, "If I can get in IPS, I'm going to wear the veil forever."
At that time I thought, wow, pretty cool huh vow like that. It's nothing, but for me to wear hijab is like a marriage, done once for a lifetime. It's not messing around. Then I thought, what should I vow also. So I vowed to myself, "If the incoming IPA servant, the servant want to wear the veil."

The result was predictable yes.
But no one ever guessed I would vow like that. My mother was an incredible shock when returning from making a report at school and I said I want the hijab. I still remember when I went to school for the first time to wear the hijab; Rohis friends congratulate me and encourage me to keep istiqamah. Their reaction to me almost as if seeing the converts, but I Muslims from birth, and it makes me feel a little funny but still moved.
I asked if the original was like before and after the hijab, may I say I have not changed much. People still recognize me, instead of my face but on the carriage myself. I can not say that I've been Islamic, since I was still a lot to be practiced.
But I feel with my hijab, I became more restrained. For example, my friend who took the path then offered me a cigarette. I certainly reject because besides I was not strong, I think it would not patutnya woman hijab but smoke. Likewise when I invite friends to drink beer, by reason of 'trial and error', but I refused because it would be very foolish if I look drunk to wear hijab. I'm afraid the image of Islam polluted because of me. To issue a statement when debating or discussing any of my more carefully because it may be, others to judge what I say as a statement of Islam.
In the end I realized that I, unknowingly, has been trying to become a better person because of my hijab.
So when I was asked why I hurriedly put on hijab when I have to clean up alive beforehand, I might be able to argue like that. Wearing the hijab is an obligation, as well as live a life based on the instructions of the Quran. Whichever is done first, it does not matter. The important thing has no intention to become a better Muslim.
