Going to college in a hijab can sometimes get on your nerves. It makes you stand out in the crowd, attracting stares and murmurs. But the reminder that you are doing this for the sake of pleasing ‘The Most Gracious’ is enough to put a smile on my face. The sweetness of faith is the sole driving factor that keeps me going day in day out. The mere remembrance of the fact that I am going to be rewarded for every sacrifice that I make for the betterment of this world and its inhabitants is thrilling. It enforces the strength that I need to face the complications of my temporary life.
