1) When did you start wearing hijab? Tell us a little about your journey, how you came to wear it, what factors were involved, etc.
2) You are the founder of Whymzical Wijabz - tell us more about your company. Where did the idea come from?
3) How do you hope to change the way in which hijab is introduced to young girls through Whymzical Wijabz?

In the same way we say
La Illaha Illa Allah
and believe in the oneness of Allah and build more of a relationship with Him because of how merciful Allah is with his creation, I hope Whymzical Wijabz will forge a connection between young girls and wearing the hijab. In the same way we water plants and they grow and flourish, I hope our young girls will be introduced to hijab in the most effective way possible - through love.
4) In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge facing the Muslim ummah today?
Understanding the true characteristics of Islam and that it was never about you - rather, it has always been about us as a whole, as one ummah as brothers and sisters in Islam.
 
5) If you could tell your 20 year old self one thing, what would it be?
That everything is part of Allah's divine plan. Once you acknowledge that your journey was written by Al Rahman it will help you understand and make you stronger for what's to come in your life. That this life is a journey Allah (S) prescribed in order for us to continually turn back to the Creator.
 
6) If you could give one piece of advice to someone struggling with hijab, what would it be?
There is never a right time, the time is now, because being a Muslim is about sacrificing and struggling for the sake of Allah and furnishing our akhirah to the best of our ability. Being a Muslim is about constant jihad (struggle) with our nafs, and enduring the trials and tribulations of the dunya. Wearing hijab as an American Muslim in today's world will weigh heavy on the scale with the Almighty, Inshallah.Is there someone you'd like to nominate for Hijabi of the Month?
