  • Misconceptions About Muslim Women and Fashion

    Islam is on a roll. I guess a positive thing coming out of all this media hype that Islam is getting is that it heightens people's awareness of it. People have this misconception that all Muslim women look like ninjas, wear niqabs to not show their faces, and dark coloured abayas. That is sooo entirely wrong.

    There are even Catholics that wear a headscarf.

     

    Ruqaya Al Ghasara is from Bahrain and ran in the Beijing Olympics. She ran the 200 m.

    Everytime I go to Egypt, I'm amazed. It seems there are more and more muhajjabat (ladies that cover their hair). If they took it off, they'd look just like every other North American and European girl... except without tight clothes and cleavage. (Although I -have- seen a TON of girls wearing skinny jeans. But, most of them wear a short dress or a tunic top over it. That butt has to hide. ;])

    So with people wanting to be stylish and modest at the same time (which seems to be hard in the states), there's a rise in Islamic fashions designers. Samaher Mohammed of Dearborn, MI, Nzinga Knight of New York, NY, Mejsa Chaaroui, Iman Aldebebe and Karolina Brock. All three from Sweden.  There's more, but I've forgotten their names. Maybe soon, instead of hair salons, we'll see hijab salons?

    There are so many styles for headscarves. Some people claim that some of the Egyptian ways aren't modest enough, and that they're too flashy.

    So far, these are all mostly Egyptian styles. The kind that doesnt actually cover the neck itself, and is covered by a turtleneck or something else is what they call "the Spanish style", though.

    These are alternatives to the 'spanish style' and the kinds that don't cover neck and chest, etc.

    There's lots of ways to wear the scarf. Which is what sets their style apart from everyone else because, otherwise, they dress just the same, as I see it.
     

    (These are in Egypt).

    And what girl doesn't imagine a princess wedding dress, yeah? Wedding dresses!! I only started looking these up because I adored my cousin-in-law's wedding dress. It was perfect. Even for a non-veiled woman. Maybe even just someone who wanted to be modest. It would have been perfect.

    Hers was white,  but here are some coloured ones. I have yet to see a bride wearing a colored dress, but that might be a good idea? The bride wears a color, and everyone else wears black or white or something.

    There's even a "Pink Hijab Day" for Breast Cancer Awareness.

    I don't know. Do these girls look like a threat to you? Threateningly stylish maybe. (That's the best joke I've made all day.)

    What do you think of these styles and the wish to dress more modestly?

    I decided to share this article from lovelyish.com . It is very interesting article for ladies out there .
    Good jobs to lovelyish.com =D

    I think girl wearing hijab look hot and cool. Ow yah one more thing about it , they earned great respect for wearing hijab .

    Just how the way you dress up might effect the way people look at you. Cheap whore ? expensive whore ? or just elegant secret beauty. You decide babeh

    Till then , cheerio mate !

  • Welcome 2009 !

    It is 2009 marks the beginning of a brand new year. Unlike other new year celebrations elsewhere, there is no concept of "party till you drop dead" in the life of a true muslim. Instead, we are supposed to do a comprehensive self audit because one more year has decreased from our life. The question we should ask ourselves is whether we are leading our lives the way our Creator & His Messenger wanted? If not, then this is the right time to initiate changes in ourselves to help us become better human beings & better muslims.

    Well i just celebrate my new year eve with my beloved family at kuching. A small dinner will do the job , it was preety good because i was really exhausted when i got here.

  • Alhamdulillah news

    Year end TT with pgx'ian

    morette and me , checking out some dslr camera's =D

    syam , configuring his sony dlsr secretly haha.

    this is what u called real shooter . Haha

    Lan and his baby. =D Kasih Sayang Daripada Seorang Ayah ~


    I just check out my result , and it turn out i pass all of my subjects. I thank god for the good news =D
    I love you , God =D muahx !


    Where is everybody going?i dont see anybody start calling me to go out ? or everyone is waiting me to call them out ? it is a question that i cannot answer . =S ... hmmm i think most of my friends busy with their own work or got something to do. meanwhile i just seat back and relax at home chill'in watching tv only ! Oh gosh , i need start to start working hard instead of start spending hard :P haha.

    DRIFT ! yeah , it is being a while i set myself to cool down from motor sport industry after have a big talk with my buddies about it. What so interesting about drifting ? Why i like it so much ?
    Let me explain briefly , for example girl loves to go shopping and buy this and that for their accessories. and if i ask "WHY" . They would reply me the same answer . Most people loves to invest their extra money on branded materials , yeah why not ? if you really love it right =D. Right now , if you loves your car , then you would get extra add-on on you cars. Lets get back to the drift part , drift is not all about big engine with large horse power and fancy car but it is all about the person who manage to control the uncontrolled car . It just like an art , when u manage to control the car going sideways with perfect touch from the driver .


    Ricky Bobby from Talledega Nights

    This one heck awesome comedy movie. Haha.
    Ricky bobby with his dad quote "If you ain't first your last" .
    #1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby (Ferrell) stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. (Reilly). But when a French Formula One driver (Cohen), makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bobby's talent and devotion are put to the test.

    I rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars. =D



     

    Oh yeah , this weekend im going back to Kampong Padang with my foster family. Gonna stay there for few days . If you can't contact me that mean im at kampong already lo ~~ =D Since i got nothing to do at miri hmm and no one ask me out also haha. It is getting bored and etc.
    Till then cheerio. Miss you all peeps~ haha



    i would like to wish happy birthday to Ivan How , dragon wee and to everyone celebrate their birthday this december =D . May all your wishes come true ! =D
