Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by
Randa Abdel-Fattah
Because it's pretty hard to walk around with people staring
at your "towel-head" and not feel kind of pleased with
yourself if you manage to get through the stares and
comments with your head held high. That's when this warm
feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself,
knowing God's watching you, knowing that He knows
you're trying to be strong and please Him. Like you're both
in on a private joke and something special and warm and
extraordinary is happening and nobody else in the world
knows about it because it's your own experience, your own
personal friendship with your Creator. I guess when I'm not
wearing the hijab I feel like I'm missing out I feel cheated
out of that special bond.
