Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, and they mock at those who believe. But those who obey Allâh's Orders and keep away from what He has forbidden, will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allâh gives (of His Bounty, Blessings, Favours, Honours, etc. on the Day of Resurrection) to whom He wills without limit. (Al-Baqarah 2:212)
We need many more hijabi young ladies with this kind of attitude to prove to the world the islamic way of life does notcome as a hinderance of any good endeavor. May Allah reward you for your perseverance !!!
As w.r.t to a comment by one of the members:
".....job as a television reporter, in a predominantely non-muslim area, and at the interview said she'd be willing to adjust her dress accordingly: wearing shayla instead of hijab, if that was what was needed, or taking it off entirely to pursue her professional dreams....."
For muslims the realization of dreams of afterlife which is everlasting is much more important than the realization of professional dreams in this world (which is temporary).
Also, there is no guarantee of achieving professional success in this world even if someone compromises his religion for the sake of duniya; whereas the success in afterlife is guaranteed by Allah if we follow his commands.
Hence for a true muslim this is a no brainer - we can’t compromise our religion for career. Allah commanded muslim women to wear hijab (not to work as a news reporters )
