Arij Fatima recently began wearing the hijab. A few days ago, she posted a reel in hijab with the caption “New Beginnings.” She also opened up about the struggles she faced after announcing her decision to embrace this new journey as a hijabi.

Talking about her struggles as a hijabi, Arij Fatima wrote, “It’s honestly so funny how ever since I shared that I started wearing the hijab, some people suddenly think it’s their job to judge me. My inbox is full of lengthy messages from people either trying to lecture me or simply bashing me. Calm down. I’m going to follow what feels right in my heart and what Allah guides me to—simple as that. Choosing to wear the hijab doesn’t mean I’ve asked for anyone’s opinion or signed up for unsolicited advice. MashaAllah, La Quwwata illa Billah.”
