Our Superhero Cape: Holding on to the Hijab in a Modern World

It’s a norm today: compromising on our Hijab—a religious and mandatory ritual—in a quest to fit into this modern world. In my opinion, this compromise does not necessarily stem from a lack of faith, but rather from a lack of understanding of the importance of the Hijab and the constant pressure to belong. In this modern world, where modesty is often misunderstood and even looked down upon, holding on to our Hijabs can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.
