Answer

It is our greatest hope that you receive this reply in the best of health and Imaan. Ameen. SubhanAllah. It is with great respect and happiness that we read your question and inshaAllah it is our sincerest dua that Allah Ta'ala makes wearing a niqaab an act of worship that is easy for you to fulfill. For any action that a Muslim intends to do, it is always important to start with the name of Allah and to intend to do this action in order to please Him. We also recommend that 2 rakaat Salaatul Hajaat be read and to recite the dua for this salaat after completing the 2 nafl rakaat. This dua can be found at: http://islameasy.org/Dua_Hajat.php This nafl salaat and dua are recommended to do in order to seek Allah Ta'ala help in the fulfillment of needs and desires and for success in any act. Another dua that you can also recite is, "Rabbi yassir walaa tu'assir watammim bil khair. Wabika nasta'een. Ya Fattah, Ya Fattah, Ya Fattah" which roughly translates to "Oh My Lord, make things easier for me, do not make things difficult for me. Oh my Lord, let my affairs end with goodness and form you do we seek help (Oh Revealer)". InshaAllah we pray that Allah Ta'ala give you the best of rewards for protecting your beauty and fulfilling His command for the believers to be among those who guard their modesty. Ameen.
