How to Dress Modestly As a Muslim Girl

Steps about how to dress modestly as a Muslim girl: 

Dressing modestly without being made fun of is a big challenge for girls of the modern era, especially if you're a Muslim girl. This article will prove this previous sentence wrong!

  

1-  Wear proper hijab/khimar. This means that you must obey Allah's command to cover everything apart from your face and hands (on which opinion is divided). The clothing must be loose and not revealing the shape of your body, it must not be see through, it must not be too eye catching and it must not resemble the clothing of a man or the non-Muslims. Wearing it is a command by Allah swt, we have to obey this rule or face punishment.

 

2-  Avoid fancy hijabs in bright colours, with patterns or tassels or sequins. Hijab should be plain and simple in design, with maximum coverage. Not a single hair can be shown and the neck must be covered. Plain colours such as black, brown, dark blue and white are best. 

 

3- Do not wear make-up in front of any non-mahram males, that includes in laws. Do not leave the house wearing make-up. During Eid, using sparkly lip gloss, eyeshadow, and lipstick is perfectly fine. However, using a little makeup is okay as long as you don't abuse your right to wear it. However, there are still debates about whether or not you're allowed to wear it. Since there's no obvious answer, follow the tips above. If you're not sure about wearing it outside, that's okay, but you can wear it in front of a mahram. 

  

4- Consider that hijab is not just the headscarf. This is a common misconception. Skinny jeans, see-through clothes, and tight t-shirts messes up the whole modesty concept. It is preferable to wear an outer garment outside, such as an abaya or jilbab, because even loose clothing is sometimes not Islamic enough. 

some tips : 

- Remember the wisdom behind the command of Allah to wear the hijab if you ever feel tempted to remove it.

- Creativity is key to a modest but smart image.

- A long sleeved chiffon-type cloth for the shirt always looks modest. It won't form fit, so there's no 'chest shape.'

- You may apply make up as long as you keep the look natural. If you don't keep your intentions good, then it will be a sin.

- Make sure to cover your ankles " Wear a loose abaya over a shirt that's too tight. " 

- Make sure to stay clean as well. Cleanliness is a virtue!

- Wear your scarf in such a way that it doesn't come open to expose your neck and chest. You can wear a scarf any style/way you want as long as you keep it simple and sweet.

- Make sure that no non mahram sees you violating the dress code. Even though your dad and brothers are mahram, you should dress modestly in front of them too, for respect.

- Wear surma instead of eyeliner. It freshens up your eyes.

How to Score Good Marks in School

Steps about how to score good marks in school : 

 School is a complicated thing. You want to socialize and have fun, but also do well and give yourself the best change for a future. It's important to buckle down and earn good marks, but it can be easy to push your work to the background. Anyone can learn to do well and improve their scores to start doing their best. Scroll past the jump to learn to get better grades.

  

1- Create a positive attitude. You may ask "how does creating a good attitude supposed to boost up my mark?" Well, if you create a good attitude in studying and think positive things about studying, it's likely that you will start liking a subject that you were really not fond of before. You may also get marks for having a good attitude and for not disrupting a class. 

  

2- Attend your classes regularly. If you attend classes daily instead of skipping them, you will be there to listen to all the lessons the teachers are teaching and won't miss important days. It's likely that you will remember or learn more if you are in class when the teacher is teaching than if you skipped class and then take notes later on. 

  

3- Set goals for yourself. Set goals like 'get good marks in math, science etc' for yourself and then try your hardest to achieve those goals. If you fail once, don't give up, keep trying. 

 

4-  Do your homework daily. When you get homework, do it, don't leave it. If you're tempted to watch your favorite TV show instead of do homework, think about it this way: Is your favorite TV show going to help you get to a good university and possibly help you achieve the job of your dreams? If the answer is yes, then by all means watch the show. Homework is important because it gives you practice on the subject that you are learning. Always do your homework. 

  

5- Ask for help when you need it. If you have a question on something, ask for help, don't just leave it behind. You can ask anybody who has knowledge on the subject that you need help with like your parents, teacher, brother or sister. It will most definitely help you in tests and quizzes. 

  

6- Manage your time effectively. It will help you reduce anxiety and focus on studying. If you have a test next week, start studying now. Try not to study at the last minute and cram the night before. Try studying 1 or 2 hours daily and leave a half hour for homework. If you study before you do homework, it will help you do your homework faster and help you understand the subject better.

  

7- Always review. After school, review what you learned that day. 

  

8- Develop test smarts. This will really help and increase your confidence when taking exams if you're familiar with the typical exam format, common errors to avoid, and know how the concepts in a subject area usually tested. 

 

9-  Know your personal learning style. It will help you maximize your learning by using effective study techniques, developing meaningful notes, and making the most efficient use of your study time.

How to treat your parents

Steps about how to treat your parents : 

Parents. They help us, love us, and care for us, so why do we treat them horrifyingly? We may be mad at them, but deep down, they will always love us and care for us, so we might as well do the same. These steps show you how to treat your parents right.

   

1- Think about it. You can't compare anybody to them. Yes, on days you may feel like saying "I wish my mum had Angelina Jolie's lips," but you don't really mean it, even if you think you do. Parents are the people you should love a lot in your life. 

  

2- Be communicative. A nice, simple greeting like "Hello," "Hi," or "Good morning," will brighten their day. You don't have to say "Salutations, paternal and maternal units," and even though this may make them laugh, deep down they just yearn for an "I love you" from you. 

  

3- Remember that if you sacrifice one thing for them, they will sacrifice another million for you. Keep that in mind and you'll love them even more. 

  

4- Take care of them, mentally and physically. If they are feeling sick, make them some chicken soup and give them a box of tissues, and if they're feeling stressed, give them a massage and chat to them about the good things in their life. 

  

5- Write/text/email things to them every day, about how much you love them. Call them up at work to say hello and check how they're doing. Parents love nothing more than talking to you. 

  

6- At your school, show them off and think how lucky you are to have two great parents. Invite them to plays, talk to them about parent/teacher conferences, you can even help mum join the PA in your school. 

  

7- Finally, just love them a little bit more every day! Keep a love meter to tell them how much you love them. On their bedroom table, have a piece of paper and a meter, and color it in a little more each day, until it's full. Then write "I love you so much, it can't fit on this paper. 

Other tips :  

- To make them happy, have them go on a picnic with you and prepare their favorite food.

-  Give them gifts from the heart. Your parents will appreciate it if you give them that iPod you've been saving for, but rather seeing a card you made yourself will warm their heart even more. They love gifts from you.

- If they make you a bit embarrassed, just smile and shrug and laugh. They'll join in with you, and you won't feel so bad anymore.

-  In order to show your love for them, help them in any way you can, even if it's a small matter like finding the hair brush.

-  Have Post-It notes with encouraging writing and love notes from you on them hung around their workspace or bedroom.

-  Always give them advice about their health, and remind them. "Dad, aren't you supposed to get a vaccination today at 5?"

-  Show them some memorable pictures of your family, like on holidays or at birthday parties, and look at the happiness in their eyes.

-  If you do all these things, your parents will be very, very happy.

-  Treat your Parents the way you want your kids to treat you!

How to Become a Good Muslim Girl

Steps how to become a good Muslim girl :

In Islam, women are advised to follow rules that at times may appear to clash with western standards of fairness and equality. However, one will come to notice that everything Muslim women are told to do ultimately benefits women. If you are a Muslim female who feels that she has been lacking in her religious duties, it is not too late to turn that around, regardless of your age or what you have done.

 

 1- Understand that all shall be well with Allah's will. Allah is inclined to forgive minor sins for He is All-Understanding and All-Forgiving. Even if you feel that you are already too deep to become the good Muslim that you truly can be.

 
  

2- Dress modestly. This means that you have to cover your whole body. You have to wear lose clothes. Hijab is not supposed to be fashionable. Rather, it is a command from Allah (SWT). Avoid clothes that are too tight. Remember that it is obligatory to cover the whole body except the face and hands, which are highly recommended, although some scholars held the view that it is obligatory especially in the Hanbali school of thought. If you truly believe according to the evidence it is obligatory, then go ahead and make an effort to cover your face with the niqaab and your hands with gloves as no harm can come from it. This also helps you to change your whole outlook on what is acceptable and what is not. 

  

3- Repent and ask Allah (swt) for forgiveness for any sins you commit. You need to let go of past mistakes and work on improving the future. Whatever has happened is done. It is in the past and there is nothing you can do to change it or better it. The only thing you can do is sincerely repent to Allah (swt) and ask Him for forgiveness and leniency in punishment. Use those negative experiences as motivation to get better and do good. 

  

4- Pray five times a day. Before you get on the prayer rug, learn what the prayer words mean to enhance your contemplation within prayer. If you do not speak Arabic, try to find some translated versions of the prayer words and take some time to read and understand what the words mean. Start making prayer a normal part of your day, the way eating is a need of ours, our spiritual food is prayers. 

  

5- Read the Quran. Read the Quran and also try to read the translation of the Quran and truly try to understand its meaning. You can read the translation in English as well. Reading the Quran will help establish a useful relationship with Allah and will also allow you to understand how beautiful the religion is. Listening to it (you can find videos online) also makes you feel closer to Allah. 

  

6- Hang out with good friends. Going with the theme you may want to make friends who share your mission of being a good Muslim. If you are lucky enough, you might spot a Muslim girl your age. Be sure to make friends with a Muslim girl if you find one. You can tell her how you are trying to be a better Muslim, and she might be able to help! Never forget that mixed gender friendships are fraught with danger and therefore strictly forbidden in Islam outside marriage. 

  

7- Marry a good man who will be a good model to your children. Raising children with an evil man can traumatize them or they could take a bad example from him. Such a bad marriage will spread evil in the world. If you are already married with a bad person, divorce him and fight the hypocrite in the cause of Allah (swt).

How to be loved and liked by everyone

Steps how to be loved and liked by everyone: 

 

1- Be nice. Your behavior is the main base of you. When someone asks you something respond to 

them politely with respect.

2-  Give respect. When you treat others with all respects they too do the same. So give respect to everyone you meet in your journey of life. Talk politely with elders so that this behavior of you will be praised by elders. 

 

3- Be nice to kids. Kids love people who make them happy. To win kids' heart is too easy but you've got to know how to control children. Play with them as children, mingle up with them. Cook for them, read or tell stories which are interesting for children. Take them out and keep them happy. Very soon, they'll cling to you. 

  

4- Be friendly. You get friends based on your state of being friendly. Smile and be approachable. Be happy and not stressed out or worried looking. Talk freely with others. 

  

5- Take special interest in others' problems. When a person is in need don't hesitate to give them a hand. First understand the problem, advice about it, discuss about it but do it with interest. Sometimes, people don't like to get advice from others, in that situations you better be on your own way. If you tried to help such people, they may think you're meddling. So, only help people who are down to earth and need help.    

-  Console others. When someone is crying, you just hug them, and say some inspirational sentences. If their talents are dead , fill up the lives into them and encourage them. You have to console them and say that you're with that person. 

- Encourage others. If you find talents hiding in someone, you help them to let out those talents. Encourage them in their duties and help them. This would make them to be your friend.

  

6- Smile. A smile is the only one language which links between different people. Smile always, while talking to someone. When your eyes get locked with someone else smile at them. Maybe you can win the whole universe with your smile. 

 

 7-  Spend time with others. Make some time to spend with others. Take them out, buy things for them. Talk and behave nicely. Enjoy with them.

How to become strong?

Everyone wants to be strong. But most people don't know how to become strong. Life is so much difficult that without being strong one can't even enjoy ones life. First of all, let's define the word "strong". Does it mean overcoming life's difficulties quickly? Does it mean ignoring obstacle ?

steps:

1. 
   1
   Think about it.This is the first step. You may need to forget your sensitiveness. Think about any difficult moment of the past where it was very difficult to remain happy,to maintain your calm. How was your state of mind? How is life now? Have you changed in any way? Have you changed your perspective? I bet you have. Don't just feel stronger now? Prior to that you couldn't imagine a life so difficult.But now you have come out so strong. And hence you are a Strong person. Take pride .
2. 
   2
   Care only about the ones who care about you. Love the ones who love you. A strong person will never feel hurt if a person less important does or says something hurtful. Imagine a shield between the less important person and you. And just move on. You must be able to differentiate between what is important and what is not? Lets put it this way, those who are not going to be there for you in your troubled times then why worry what they say.
3. 
   3
   Enjoy every minute of your life. There is not a second one. It is often said life is precious and yes it indeed is. Don't concentrate on the negatives. Enjoy those little pleasures of life.
4. 
   4
   Find a Solution. Strong people try to find solution to their problems without losing their calm. At times it is better to be practical than emotional. As rationality and practicality will get you out of a problem and not those tears.
