1 MHMC- Commercial Template Doc Size 11.25” X 14” Image Area 10.375 x 11.75 CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK Religious garbs strengthen spirituality Freshman Rowanne Ali began wearing the hijab, a veil worn by Mus-lim women, her sophomore year of high school. Raised Muslim by Egyptian par-ents, she made the decision to wear the hijab when she was 13, after growing up seeing her mother wear it. “My parents always told me what it was about, and that when I was ready, that I could start wearing it,” she said. “They always told me, ‘Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s about the clothes you wear, but once you start wearing it, you also have to portray your religion in the right light.’” In the Miami weather, wearing a head covering around the University of Miami campus can get warm, but Ali said it doesn’t cause too much discom-fort. “It definitely gets hot, but I don’t think it’s substantially hotter for me than it would be if I didn’t have it on,” Ali said about her hijab. “It’s something I get used to. … If anything, it protects me from the sun. … It’s not something that bothers me, it never gets too hot.” Warm weather aside, three UM students from separate religious back-grounds say their religious head cover-ings not only serve a spiritual purpose for them, but also give them the opportunity to help others around them become more religiously aware. A study found that most college stu-dents identify themselves as religious or spiritual. According to the 2013 National College Student Survey, 31.8 percent of students identified their worldview as religious, 32.4 percent identified them-selves as spiritual and 28.2 percent as secular. The survey included a sample of more than 1,800 students from 38 four-year colleges and universities in the Unit-ed States. Moreover, religious knowledge is most closely linked with years of school-ing, according to a U.S. Religious Knowl-edge Survey by the Pew Research Center. Amanullah De Sondy, assistant pro-fessor of Islamic Studies at UM, consid-ers cultural and religious awareness a key factor in the college experience. He says it provides an opportunity for stu-dents to learn about those around them who have different beliefs and practices. “It is important in order to interro-gate critical questions in the academic study, which then leads to a better un-derstanding in building bridges between faith communities and understanding those who are different from you,” he said.
