HIJAB DOESN'T STOP ME FROM ANYTHING

HIJAB DOESN'T STOP ME FROM ANYTHING

Hijab doesn't stop me from anything. You do. You people who judge or hate based on how much fabric I am wearing on MY OWN body---or how little.

HIJAB 

HIJAB 

The more I wear (or the less---you dunno because I don't flash it all at you under my robes) gives rise to the guise "extremist". As if you could tailor me into the slim suit of your narrow understanding. Violence for the sake of making one's self heard is extreme. I can be heard without violence. I can speak without words.

When I wear hijab I get that I am wearing a brand that reads "Muslim". One who practices Islam. That's why you stop me in airports. Why you ban me from schools. Hope you will not have to hire me. You who created or were born of the consumer generation, seed of this capitalistic market, the "Muslim" is a brandname that threatens your own innovations. You lack the creativity to compete with Islam. You designs do not have the same quality---they just don't hold up. Atheism, Christianity, Judaism, Budhism, capitalism, communism, liberalism... Whatever brand you apire to...Islam is tailored. Individual, universal truth, beautiful and inspired, between the Creator and the Created, Haute Couture. You're just speaking off-the-rack. I'm not buying.

HIJAB 

And you can't sell it---if you don't own it. Sure, you can buy one or two of "us" off... at the price of this world. But you know you don't have enough assets in all your corporations and banks that exist and have existed and will exist, to buy Islam out. Because every "Muslim" owns a share in Islam. Those who have lived and now do not. Those born, those being born, and those yet to be be born. Don't hire us. Ban us from school. And then go on and talk of "freedom" all you like.

If "Muslim" is my brand to you, know that I wear it prouder, prouder than the flag of any nation, and God-willing will carry it longer...than a Chanel bag.

HIJAB style

No interlocked CCs, no fancy Gs, no LVs, no Nike check, or a crown or a halo or a martyr's wreath are a better logo, give me better status and recognition as a Muslim, than my hijab. It expresses the fact that I believe in One God, la illaha il Allah, and am trying to a better person, humble, always examining myself. It says: "I want to be recognized for that, and not the vogue of my physical appeal or the devices of my worldly station".

If you strip me naked, and prevent me from all clothes or the means to them, I will still be wearing hijab in my heart, but if I have the clothes, and I do not wear them for the fear of being recognized as a Muslim or the wish to please and obey others over what is pleasing and commanded by my Creator, I do not have the hijab in my heart.

HIJAB 1

Hijab is the thread of truth that is wove by our heart's understanding, to the cloth that covers our minds, our ears, our tongues, and our hands, from committing evil actions, out of sincere love for what is good and beautiful beyond us. The cloth that we cover our bodies with is called hijab but it is only the expression of that. The expression I make is the garment that covers the evil actions of others'.

That isn't to say I don't believe the clothing that expresses my beliefs and intentions prevents the evils of others, nor do I believe men are incontrollable beasts who will hump any woman they happen to see uncovered. I mean after all, rapists usually take off some form of clothing in order to be able to rape, so an uncovered woman isn't any superior to a covered woman in my own mind. The expression I make is the garment that covers the evil actions of others isn't meant for prevention, it is deeply personal but at the same time, an example. I deeply believe in street fashion so to speak. I believe simply by living my own life as a good example and striving individually for success in this life and in the next, others will want to do the same: cover themselves from evil. One's sense of style in Islam to continue on this long-winderd metaphor, is indivdual and thought-provoking. I am lowering my gaze from things that might hurt me. Hopefully I am reminding you that you should too, not that I think that you are a rapist, or a hoochie mama if you aren't Muslim or don't cover.

HIJAB 2

HIJAB car style

I can wear a maxi dress over my breasts and my hips and my legs. I can wear a cardigan on my shoulders and over my arms. I can wear a scarf around my neck. And you will call it beautiful. But cover my arms and shoulders, my breasts, and my back, and my legs, and lift that scarf up so it is on my head and covers my hair (or my face) and suddenly I am "forcing my religion on you" or am being an "extremeist". I don't know if you've ever worn a niqab (soft Gulf fabric) but it is more comfy than high heels and skinny jeans (which you sweat in in the heat just the same). You express your feminity in a different way than I do. Does that mean my way is wrong? Or maybe we just cut from a different cloth?

You wear straw hats to protect yourself from the sun--- I in my shayla do the same, and you ask me, if my scarf traps the heat on my head?! My clothing was made of fabric suitable for the desert heat and you in jeans and a t-shirt is gonna ask me if I am hot?! You say you prefer me in colour when I choose to wear black (because I like it not because its Islamic) but I bet you would never have the nerve to go up to Catherine Zeta-Jones or Angelina Jolie in their black evening Oscar dresses and say the same). Who are YOU to tell me what colours to wear? The muttawa?

I can wear yards and yards of fabric in an eveing dress but I wear less fabric than that in my abaya and you think that suddenly, I can't walk? I am suddenly "a safety hazard" and "suppressed" and you even dare to call me an "extremist" when I just say what the Qu'ran says and that is, that an overgarment is fard.

You have no sense of fashion or the sunah, obviously, when you, a brother or sister, begin to label me, your own very sister. I feel the needle prick the skin. Because it is not the kafirun who sew the labels into "Muslimah". They are only misusing the labels YOU are already using, because you do not know or are not practicing your deen. "Extremist" "Niqabi" "Salafi" "Wahabi" "Hojabi" each as innacurate as the next to describe something as beautiful as the Islam that is expressed by a Muslim woman obeying her Creator by wearing hijab. You label those who WEAR labels.

My hijab doesn't stop me from anything. I have seen firefighter and doctor niqabis, karate champ, gold medalist, and politician hijabis. I ski, rock climb, swim, work in the public, horse back ride, skate, and got married all in jilbab and khimar. The only thing that stops me is Muslims who mislabel and the kafirun that don't want to know who really is suppressed.

Cold, cold, cold and simply tired inside out...

One of those days... weeks... or even months.. :)))

Yes, this month has been too cold in Melbourne. I just also feel very tired inside and out. I simply want to sleep and do nothing, which actually makes me feel worse. On top of all this, it's now that time of the month! I feel cranky, tired, sluggish and just crave everything!

I had to go out to stock up for 'that time of the month' LOL, so when getting dressed, I let my mood take over my style...

Hijab

We Love Hijab Loves : Workwear by Setrms UK (P.S. Win a FREE Silk Hijab.

WE LOVE HIJAB LOVES : WORKWEAR BY SETRMS UK

Every woman has an I’ve-got-nothing-to-wear-to-work day now and then. But, I think that Muslim women have it the hardest. Why? Because we have to find clothes that are clean, professional and modest enough to wear to work – and then we’ve got to find a hijab to match. I’m sure that many of you working women know what it’s like to find something halfway modest in your closet – for example a sleeveless tunic – only to realize that the long-sleeved t-shirt that you normally layer it with is in the dirty clothes bin…

This brings me to one of the reasons why I love the new fashion franchise called Setrms UK. While most designers sell suits that feature jackets and skirts that are too short to be hijab-friendly, Setrms UK offers long jackets and long skirt-suits that make it easy for a Muslimah to get dressed without having to worry about layering, mixing, and matching.

Some of my favorite items of Setrms UK’s first collection are their long jackets. The one pictured above is called Tulin and I can imagine wearing it in several different ways. You could wear it to work by pairing it with wide-legged pants (as shown above). You could dress it down by pairing it with jeans and a t-shirt. Or you could wear it with a simple maxi dress.

Governmental enforcement and bans in Hijab

 governments encourage and even oblige women to wear the hijab, while others have banned it in at least some public settings.

Some Muslims believe hijab covering for women should be compulsory as part of shari, i.e. Muslim law. Wearing of the hijab was enforced by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, and is enforced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Emirate required women to cover not only their head but their face as well, because "the face of a woman is a source of corruption" for men not related to them. While some women wholeheartedly embrace the rules, others protest by observing the rules in an inconsistent fashion, or flouting them whenever possible. Sudan's criminal code allows the flogging or fining of anyone who “violates public morality or wears indecent clothing”, albeit without defining "indecent clothing",

Turkey, Tunisia, and Tajikistan are Muslim-majority countries where the law prohibits the wearing of hijab in government buildings, schools, and universities. In Tunisia, women were banned from wearing hijab in state offices in 1981 and in the 1980s and 1990s more restrictions were put in place. In 2008 the Turkish government attempted to lift a ban on Muslim headscarves at universities, but were overturned by the country's Constitutional Court.

On March 15, 2004, France passed a law banning "symbols or clothes through which students conspicuously display their religious affiliation" in public primary schools, middle schools, and secondary schools. In the Belgian city of Maaseik, Niqāb has been banned.^[ (2006)

On July 13, 2010, France's lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved a bill that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil in public. There were 335 votes for the bill and one against in the 557-seat National Assembly.

Product Review: Capsters

"When I started my research, I did not know I eventually would end up designing sportshijabs. I just wanted to do something with the heavy loaded subject of veiling in the West. As a designer I was curious if I could change something that was actually a cultural, political and social problem.

During my research I discovered that the image of headscarves or hijabs in the west is not representative for a lot of Muslim women. The image of a veiled woman in the Netherlands is mostly that of a not very well-educated, oppressed and timid woman. During my research I spoke to a lot of young Muslim women who are actually the opposite: very bright, independent and outspoken!

I realised that the image of the hijab hadn't evolved since the arrival of the Muslim community in the late 60's and early 70's. The migrants wear the headscarf often as a sign of culture and tradition. Their daughters are born and raised in the Netherlands. Growing up in two different cultures makes them curious about their roots. Some start reading the Quaran, something their often illiterate mothers have never done. They interpreted the hijab as a symbol of their descent and wear it with pride.

I realised that the appearance of the traditional shawl worn by Muslim girls didn't quite cover this message. Besides this aesthetic problem, I discovered a practical problem related to sports in school. In a court case it was decided that for safety reasons a teacher could expel a girl wearing a hijab from his gym class. The solution offered by the Comity of Equal Treatment was to wear a turtleneck and swimming cap instead. This did not solve the problem: the girls skipped gym class because they didn't want to feel humiliated.

It was at this time when I realised the whole issue was not about covering but about the way the girls cover themselves. And that problem could be solved by a designer! So I started to talk with girls and (Islamic) women’s organisations to research the requirements for a new sportshijab. After I made the sketches and the styling I went back to the girls to ask feedback. This really was an interesting part of the design process: I didn't have the 'wearer knowledge' they do. In order to meet their wishes, I needed feedback. Together we adjusted some designs: replaced a zipper by Velcro or changed the material into a more flexible one, to prevent disturbing noises. I also had my designs approved by an Imam, since he is the person the girls go to, to ask for advise on certain matters.

Besides all the functional requirements I wanted to add a solution for the social problem as well. I realised that if the hijabs did not look traditional but 'hip & trendy' they possibly could change prejudice into some sort of admiration. One of the confirmations that I got on that idea was from a 70 year old man, visiting the graduation show: 'I don't like hijabs at all, but I do like your designs'. This made me realise even more that the social problem with the acceptance of hijabs was not about the girls being covered, but the way they are covered.

Last but not least, to make the integration more visible I asked myself not only 'what does a hijab mean for Muslims' but also 'what can the hijab be for non-Muslims'. The answer to that is simple: it could be just a functional or aesthetic head-accessory. The only thing I had to do was to design something that met both worlds, and thát is exactly what I consider integration. These days Capsters are not only worn by Muslim women and girls, but also by non-Muslims, even males practicing winter sports..."

is what Cindy van den Bremen, founder of Capsters says in her introduction to Capsters. I wanted to share this, because I believe it will help better appreciate the concept.

I chose to review the Capsters Basic model in black. I wanted the basic because I felt it would be more versatile enabling me to wear it for occasions other than sports... including sports...

When I received my package, I was very impressed.

Excellent quality envelope with company logo containing the product neatly packed in a protective zip-lock pocket again with company logo. All this meant that a high quality product was awaiting me in the packaging.

At first sight, the product is made of excellent quality jersey fabric. The stitching is precise. I even pulled at the stitches, and no breaking whatsoever. It is very rare for stitches not to break on jersey fabric when they are pulled and tugged. :)

So, I tied up my hair, popped on the Capster like a hood, and fastened it with the velcro tape on the front. I can comfortably say that this is one high-quality product that will last for quite a long time. However, I found that this particular style has a very wide opening for the face. Having a large round face myself, it made my face look even larger and rounder. It was also a little loose around the neckline. Again, I must note that I believe this is true for this particular style (Basic) as I have noted in most other styles on their website the face opening is not as wide and is tighter. So what I did was, I got a stick pin and made the opening tighter just under my chin. :) I am happy with this result...

I wanted to give a few examples of how the Capsters may be utilised. I know there are many hijabis who despise this look, but I beg to differ. For a hijabi who likes outdoor sports, such as hiking, horseriding, baseball, etc. this look is perfect. You will not have any hijab parts strangling you in the wind, getting in your way, etc. etc. It is practical.

Then we have the bandana look. Pop on a Capster and wrap a hijab around your head and tie at the nape of the neck like a bandana. This way you have a different look and perfect coverage. No neck, ear or anything else showing!

I may not use any of the above looks, but this one is one I really like and find very elegant, Persian princess-like. :) I was never able to wear my hijab loose this way, because I would have my neck or sideburns etc showing. You know what I mean! With the Capster I am able to achieve the look I want without compromising my hijab/coverage.

All in all, I am very delighted to have been given the opportunity to try out this product. I understand that some of you may not be happy with the prices. In all honesty, the price is not so over the top when you consider the quality, long-life, and versatility of the product... I'm not even gonna mention the amount of money we splurge on things that are no good for us... So compared to all that, the amount you are asked to pay is really not much at all.

You are welcome and encouraged to follow/like Capsters on Facebook, and alternatively check out their range of products via the Capsters Website. Oh and guess what? They ship worldwide! Woohoo! :))

Lastly, I would like to thank Cindy for the opportunity and her efforts to make our life easier and more comfortable. :)

So, which look do you like best? Can you suggest any other way I can utilise my Capster? :)

A Sunny Day Deserves an Outfit Post :)

Didn't do much today. T'was my day off... Mum was making borek (Turkish pastry with cheese n spinach and also with mince... yummo). She called me over...

It was either trackies or wearing something decent. I saw the sun gleam through so decent won over trackies. :))

I purchased this top from Sussan not too long ago, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I shouldn't miss out. It has full length sleeves, it has a great length, and is very thin, making it perfect for summer. I also really like the colours. I have nothing whatsoever in this colour. If the print did not have any brown tones in it, I have no idea what hijab I would choose to wear with it... As I said, I have nothing whatsoever in this colour, so brown was my best hijab option. I have to say though, this tone of brown is my favourite. It's not too dark, not too light, and no reddish tones in it.

Enough about that! Now for the photos... :)

Tunic: Sussan (from their Resort collection - generally to wear over bikinis lol)

Linen Pants: Katies

Bag: Forever New (gorgeous bag but crap quality!)

Shoes: Forever New (again, gorgeous, but crap quality!)

Hijab: edb Collection

If anybody is interested, I have one more left in this colour at the moment. Priced at $9 AUD... advertisement brought to you by edb Collection. LOL Sorry :))))

We are happy after eating my mummy's delicious borek. I swear, I only had a little bit. :))) But seriously, it was worth over doing it! :) How cute is my mummy dearest? The cam quality aint as good in this photo because it was taken on my iPhone.

"So, how was the fashion show?" you ask... and some Style Inspiration

Other than the fact that I froze my tooshie off, it was nice... Well done to the ladies who put in all the effort to organise such a special night... A night so special that it dedicated all the proceeds to feed the poor during the month of Ramadhaan... to help them fast... to make it easy on them... Mashaallah!

I have no photos of the show as I didn't have a decent camera, and the iphone camera totally sux! Also, because we are usually warned during such events not to take any photos. :) I have some really bad quality photos of us (thanks!!! to the iphone --- you would think such an amazing device would have a super dooper camera, wouldn't you?).

The clothing range was made up of abayas (abayat) (if you don't know what this is, just Google it as "define: abaya" or just as "what is abaya"). There were some that I liked very much, and some that weren't for my liking. It's a matter of taste, you know what I mean... They were far from the traditional black Saudi abayas, and looked trendy yet modest. 

And as for the attendees... All I can say is mashaallah! Everybody looked so beautiful and elegant... Such events are a great opportunity/excuse for us women to get all dolled up and feeling great about ourselves.

A big thank you to the amazing ladies who made this night happen. May Allah reward them for all their efforts.

And now for the photos...

As you can see, I didn't go for the 'too red' scarf... I wish I had... I would have looked more 'vibrant'. LOL

And this lady here is my 'yummy mummy to be' friend. She is one of the most trendiest Muslim preggos I have seen. I haven't seen her wear any maternity clothes throughout her pregnancy, and she only has like 5-6 weeks left for labour. How hot does she look? Say mashaallah :)

And this little hottie didn't like the way her face came out, so I 'disguised' her. LOL

I always love the way she looks, and she always puts effort into her outfits. Oh and I've been seeing her wear some gorgeous stuff lately.. such as her cardi/top here, and she had a stunning necklace the other time I saw her.. Apparently she shops at TEMPT. I have to go, I have to see, I have to touch... and maybe even buy. :)) Oh and her scarf (you can see) and her skirt are proudly brought to you from me, edb Collection. ;)

Hijab of the Week

This week, our hijab of the week is a gorgeous beauty from the beautiful Turkish city Bursa. Remember I had mentioned it in one of my posts a few weeks back? Well, I forgot to add that Bursa is world reknowned for its beautiful A class silk. So much so that a couple years back the Queen of England had paid a visit to Bursa to purchase some...

Anyhow, to the point... This weeks hijab is from a beautiful brand in Bursa, and they are famous for their traditional Turkish porcelain prints. The said porcelain designs (motifs) are inspired by those from the Ottoman era, which make them just that much more special.

This hijab is a typical square Turkish hijab, but I wrapped it around like a long rectangular one. I am actually really fond of this and I wear it with my peacock blue overcoat. I believe they go quite well. I can't wait until the sun shines in Australia so I can team this hijab with my said overcoat, and swap the indigo jeans for white wide leg pants (black ones will do just fine but I like white pants in summer). I have a short black sleeveless dress which I wear over my pants... so all I need now is a thin red belt!!! Now that is going to be a tough one 'cos it's just dang difficult to find plus sized belts in anything other than black! Ooohhh, can't wait for summer!!!! :))

Whoopsie, forgot the photo. Here you go...

Now, I know this is a very traditional pattern, but I'm going to ask you the million dollar question anyway. Anybody likey? I'm asking, because my mum says it looks like something somebody would wear to bed (i.e. nightgown). I beg to differ! So what do you think???

Style Inspiration & More: Hijab Art - Christine Sisk

I know I have posted various "hijab art" styles in the past, but they were all generally for special occasions. Today I have some styles that can inspire you to try something different with your day to day hijab.

However, before going on to the styles I would like to introduce to you all Christine Sisk.

I first discovered her on Facebook... Well, it was more like she discovered me. :)) Just the other day I noticed one of her albums entitled "My Work" and just fell in love with the styles she posted. I thought it would benefit and inspire all you hijabis out there.

I know many new hijabis who really want to practice Islam, but struggle when it comes to dressing up and wearing the hijab. This is usually because the new hijabi loves to dress and accessorise, but when it comes to adapting to their new way of life, they sometimes don't know what they can and cannot do. I am talking about reverts/converts in general... Those courageous ladies who decide to change their entire way of life for the love of Allah, but are generally left all alone once they become Muslims... Just like Christine...

Christine took this path roughly on the 22nd of December 2007. She was raised as a Protestant, but she took a turn to discovering her own spiritual path during her college years. She read a lot and asked many questions. Ali, who is now her fiance encouraged her in many ways during her spiritual search.

After saying the shahadah (testimony of faith)*, she did not wear the hijab full-time even though she really wanted to due to fear of her parents' reaction and fear of losing her job. She had witnessed an incident where the customer complained to her boss about hiring terrorist (referring to one of her colleagues), and the Muslim employee was fired.

There is one thing that Christine mentions which really makes me feel, because I know the importance of having others like ourselves around us especially during the time of Ramadhan. She notes that she always prayed to Allah that she would have a female Muslim friend so that she wouldn't have to experience Ramadhan all alone. Her wonderful fiance who used to reside very far from her sent a Muslim lady to befriend Christine. As Christine explains, she is now like the adopted daughter to that young lady's family.

I would like to finish off Christine's story in her own words:

"I look forward to every day now with a fervor I've never had before. I am growing in this religion and loving every second of it. We all have our difficulties and I know I still have my share with which to live. But alhamdulillah, I thank Allah (SWT) for every day."

I love both these styles. So different, so renaissance inspired... Also, note that she has used the same scarf for both styles, but I believe she has made use of the opposite side of the fabric for the other style. Very creative mashaallah.

Again, similar items used, but slightly different styles achieved. I absolutely love them! I love how all of the styles provide full coverage.

Give me attitude baby! That's right! Perfect! :) My favourite has to be the one on the left. Love the colours, love the sunnies, love the pose. :) How mad is the colour combo on the right?

Purple has to be my favourite colour! How elegant is the special occasion look on the left? Stunning! Oh and I love everything about the general day-to-day look on the right. Wonderful use of colours Christine.

I would like to thank Christine for sharing a little bit about her personal story and her style.

---

* The shahdad, (testimony of faith) which is the first pillar of Islam consists of saying the following with belief:

"Ash-hadu al-laa ilaaha il-lal-lah wa ash-hadu an-na Muhammad ar-rasul Allah"

meaning, "I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." Simply by saying this in belief, a person will become a Muslim and enter Islam.

Hijab of the Week

"Week" I say, but it's been over a month since my first and last (LOL) "Hijab of the Week" post. Sowwy beautifuls, but I am back on the ball again inshaallah! :)

Here is this weeks hijab...

This is a long/rectangle shawl scarf by one of Turkey's well-known brands. It is 100% pure silk and feels just amazing. I don't normally wear these shawl scarves except on rare occasions where I just cannot resist the beauty of 'that' certain scarf. I don't think it really suits me, but what I love about this scarf is the cinnamon border that frames it.

What do you think? Love it or hate it?

I'm another year older today

Well... More like yesterday (the 12th) since it is now past midnight in Australia. :)

I am now 32 years old! THIRTYTWO! Wow!

Age 30 had no effect on me. By age 31 I was used to the idea of being "in the 30's", so I didn't even notice it. It clicked to me at 32. Now, I don't feel old. I don't even know if one is meant to feel old at age 32? If I am, then I don't feel my age. Does that make sense? LOL

Well, I think that age should not be all about the numbers, but still, it is so. As those numbers get higher, something changes in us subtly, without noticing. Sometimes we need a little time to notice and at times we don't notice the changes at all. Aaaaanyhoooow... :))

I am going to say that I am going down hill in terms of age, but it's still too early. :)) Alhamdulillah, my business is thriving, developing, and I believe that it will start to grow inshaallah. My dreams and goals are larger than life.

Someone had once said, "if your goal is as great as the cosmos, then you will achieve the world; if your goal is the size of a chicken you will achieve an egg." Therefore, we need to keep our goals high. :) Well, I'll have a go, what's there to lose? :)

Also, someone else just recently told me, "In Jannah (Paradise) -if we can get in inshaallah- us women will be at age 33". Hmm, there is a reason for everything, isn't there? Therefore, age 33 must have some significance for women. I'm guessing the wisdom here may be that women reach "perfection" or "their peak" at age 33? I'm not sure, if I'm still around next year this time, I will see first hand and share with you. :))

Anyhow, a friend told me, "you are getting younger as you age". Okay, she may be just too kind, because she is, but my hubby is too honest when it comes to how I look etc, and he has said the same to me many times. So, I guess I may not look too old. :) At least I feel that way. If age 32 is old, then I don't feel my age. :))) I will put an end to this post with a photo of me that was taken only 2 days ago. AGE: 32! OMG OMG!!! :))

Oh and the gorgeous scarf I'm wearing is from Armine's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I love it! It's one of the many new scarves that arrived only 2 days ago.

If you are interested in purchasing the Armine scarf in the photo above or any of the others that I have available, all you need to do is Click Here to visit my Facebook group. Go through the photos of hundreds of different hijabs that are available for all kinds of budgets. :) It's a feast just to look at them! :))
