About Me:
I am an ethnical norwegian woman who live in Denmark and I reverted from lutheran chistian to Islam some 5 years ago. It took me a lot of reading (on the internet!!), curriage and considerations to take this step, and finally I took my Shahada in a London Masjid (Green Lane) without any of my friends knowing it, Masha'Allah!! Then I went on reading and discussing in Yahoo-groups etc. about veiling before I started to cover, and Allah - the most merciful - gave me strength and I have now been covering for about 4 years!! It feels so liberating to avoid all the stares and unwanted attention - and I am so happy that I finally took this step!! And it is more comfortable and relaxing when others (especially men) cannot see the contours of my body nor my hair or face. I came in contact with this very nice and helpful sister in UK - Umm Kareema - and she made my first full hijab set - somali style with jilbab, knee length khimar and niqaab, so this became my favourite style. Although here in Denmark there is no really dominating style. I also use iranian chador (closed in front) often. The most important thing is that it covers completely and provide modesty. I also decided to take a muslim name, in fact two names!! I call myself Nieema Imtithal, the meaning of these names together describes me very well. (Nieema or Ni'mah - Blessing, loan Imtithal - polite obedience). I try to inform all my sister muslimahs who use hijab, that niqab is mustahabb (strongly recommended), and that Allah will reward all niqabi women!! We should all strive to show submissiveness to Allah by proper covering (niqab and fullkhimar/jilab/chador etc), Salaam for now, sis Nieema Imtithal
