I am 13 years old , my dad insists that I wear my hijab to school and
commit to it but I don't feel ready yet. I feel when you start wearing
it you never take it off to attend anywhere etc only around immediate
family members and I am not quite ready for that commitment. What
should I do?
Answer:
There may be a spiritual readiness you feel is missing from the
picture of yourself wearing hijab at this point but you are physically
ready enough by virtue of being a Muslima of age.
This is what your father's insistence reflects, not the hidden aspects
of your personality. What matters right now is to continue to meet the
basic requirements of the Shari`a that apply to your situation, age,
sex etc. just like having to pray Salat even when one does not feel
like it.
One has a lifetime, in sha' Allah, to work on strengthening readiness
and commitment.
