In an age when Muslim women
come under increasing scrutiny for
wearing head-covering scarves, Bahrain's Ruqaya Al
Ghasara has proved that a hijab is no hindrance to
sprinting round a running track.
Ghasara, who won bronze in
the 100m Saturday after a false start, made sure of gold
in Monday's Asian Games 200m, producing a gutsy final 10
meters to clinch the race in 23.19sec. |

One of the most
difficult decisions many Muslim sisters face is the
decision to start wearing hijab
(or any
Muslim Clothing). This is certainly true

families or even whose cultures are not particularly
observant. As a revert myself, I have been through the
whole thing. I would like to offer some advice that I
hope inshallah will be helpful to sisters who are
considering wearing hijab but find that something is
holding them back.

A Muslim women's group has

headscarves for fear of hate attacks.

wearing the
traditional Islamic scarf was a duty and
