Not at all. Hijab does not contradict the rationale for women to wear it.. The harassment is when bad men look at the women who is without full hijab with bad intentions, that’s why hijab saves the women from such harassment. The objection against hijab comes from people who don’t submit to the will of Allah and think that they know what is good for the women more than the Creator Allah who Created everyone and everything and Has the full Knowledge about everything.
May I suggest, this is nothing to do with a revert. When anyone is having a medical emergency, the medical emergency comes first, and hijab comes second. If he is jealous of ER personnel who are treating you, he is the one having a problem.
Situations where women died due to prioritizing hijab over life - for instance, when girls fleeing a burning school in Saudi were sent back inside to get their hijabs, and burned to death - are not noble; they are sad.
It could be worthwhile considering Islam and the marriage, as separate issues. Being a Muslim is not the same thing as being married to this person. It could be worthwhile to consider how the marriage is going, and whether it is a healthy marriage and offering what you need (especially since you are not living together). Even if you are a revert, the job of a husband is not to be the religious police; it sounds like he may want a situation where he can be in control, but this may become tiring over the years. On your side, there are many resources about Islam available online these days, and it would be good to focus more on learning on your own, rather than being dependent on him to teach you, which can set up an unhealthy psychological dynamic. Conversely, it could also be worth considering whether or not you would remain a Muslim if the marriage broke up.
Unfortunately, your husband is not being accommodating enough for your situation and circumstance. He should know better that our beautiful religion is tolerant, forbearing and forgiving. You barely being cognitive and extremely sick means your circumstances change, and nobody has right to say anything. Please refer to verse 61 of Surah al-Nur, which expicitly says this.
Marrying a revert means he must accommodate to your needs of gradual learning and understanding, and if he didnt mind you staying christian, then he has no right to object. He should be extra grateful that you have come this father, and whichever path you choose, that is for you.
My advice to you, my sister, is learn more about the religion, study and research, to understand Islam and you will definitely appreciate what it has to offer to you.
Many born Muslims really have no idea what Islam represents, and they definitely do not represent Islam.
Your husband should have more patience, and as Muslims, we are taught to be humble and apologise when we are wrong.
