Two of these girls have been wearing hijab probably since they were 12 or 13, wore it all through high school and college, which is probably the most diffcult time, and then suddenly they get engaged, and they take it off. Not to mention these girls are incredibly gorgeous and came from families where the hijab wasn't a foreign concept or anything (their mothers wear it). My other friend from college, who came from a semi-practicing family (no one wore hijab in her family, incredibly fashionable mom and sisters), started wearing it during freshman year after reading the Quran. Slowly, her hijab became more conservative, and then it became very stylish (showing ears and neck etc.) and then on her wedding day, she took it off, and she never put it back on. I'm not sure exactly why these girls took their hijab off, as I am sure they had some conviction to why it was important to be wearing for so long, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with their husbands. I pray that Allah (swt) guides us all and strengthens our Iman while forgiving all of our shortcomings (yes no not one of us is perfect).

You know what, these problems about girls (especially my age) wearing hijaab where they can be seen in a Muslim Community and taking it off where they are with nonmuslims and/or posting pictures on the internet without hijaab (initating non-muslims) is totally inevitable. I have the same issue that I talk about with my friends, but end up to be hated for doing so. I mean, it's also their way in interacting with boys, and trying to show off how they look like without it, which I thibk is pathetic, and very bad in the eyes of Allah. But InshaAllah, Allah will help us in this. Assalamu alaykum Jannah!

InshaAllah you'll find a job soon. Yes everything is competitive and it will be hard but there are many sisters in the US wearing hijab and working fine in all different fields as minorities. Just keep trying and ask Allah for help inshaAllah. For me I think of it like equivalent to selling beer or working in some other type of haram job. Yes I can do it with the excuse to support my family but why do something Allah clearly does not like and not bless. I'd rather do anything than harm my relationship with Allah. Just keep trying sis. Even your going out to interviews and talking to people is a form of dawah so just look at it like that and keep going until you find something. Salam Hiba,
