unique hijab

[sereia 0]

my fiance would like me to wear a hijab with jeans too. i think he's really torn between his religion and modernization. he's young, hip, and loves girls in sexy tight jeans but yet when i tried on a hijab for him for fun he almost fainted. i never saw a bigger smile on his face.

this was his mama's...her friend bought it on her hajj and she passed it onto me.

Anyhooo....the styles that he likes are just like that shukr site that Rahma loves so much.

rahma is in love with shukr

ok now i know it's been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long 'cause I just went to the male section of shukr looking for things for the hubster and got MAJORLY turned on.

Show your husband the styles you like on the website and have him buy stuff in egypt that look similar. I showed DH some stuff I would like for him to wear, and he's always like, uh, it's much cheaper in egypt, i'll just buy it next time I'm there.

Just cuz one wears hijab doesn't mean they can't have fun and look sexy at home My little lingere and mini skirt collection grows quite often

It's taken almost 4 years of me wearing hijab for my parents to not freak out. In fact, I wore my hijabi swimgear this weekend to do water aerobics with my mom, and she didn't complain too much

maybe you just tie it wicked tight or something.

I had a bad migraine the other day and Usama said to tie my hijab as tight as I could stand it to put my 'brain bones" back together.

When I go out, and know I will not be around any mirrors I tie mine up super tight. My brian cells start to hurt

But my husband on the other hand has this weird habit to want to fixmy hijeb (he will literally come running if he knows I am tying it up) He *trys* bless his heart to fix it all fashionable, but LOL it is no good. Usually one side is longer then the other, he pooks me accidently with the pin and it is way too loose, I just move an inch and it comes right off...but LOL he assumes me

But i want to know wtfunuckles is this?

Those are indonesian style underscarves. I have some They're really spiffy, and make the top of your scarf rounded.

PS: Anyone know of any site that has long skirts(preferrbaly A line) of any type reasonably priced.... I would prefer non-islamic site...since the Muslim sites want too much $...Thanx[/font]

Shukr is an islamic site, but I get skirts there on clearance for $25. They're very very high quality and last a looooooooooooong time. My oldest ones are 3 years old and have probably been washed 100+ times, and they still look pretty decent. Sign up for their email list and pounce when they announce clearance.

Also, you have the added benefit of baraka, bc they run an islamically based business - all the workers are paid fair wages, the factory stops for prayer, etc.

I locve shukr too... their prices are abit high $80 or so...but I never checked the clearance...will do!

Higabs always make faces look chubby. My face isn't normally "chubby" but when I put on a higab it appears that I've gained 20lbs. You're not the only one.

If you put it under your chin, makes you look fatter, but if you put right at the chin line actually slims. Also colours are big factor too!

There will always be a wide range of opinoins on what is hijab and what is not. I am on a message board where the moderators have decided that this is proper hijab. I tried to start a thread about scarf fashion and was shot down. I don't talk about hijab there.

I belong to a forum like that too... Algerien women group. I met a bunch of them when I was in DZ... I was of course outcasted since I did not doon the niqaab or the chadour. ufffffffff

I personally think you can be modest and modern at the same time.

My husband says: It is modest if it covers the goodies. I tend to agree. You have your bum and bossum covered it's all good!

Oh by the way, I won't be a hypocrite.. I do wear just a small amount of makeup..but you can barely tell..just around my eyes sometimes, cause I get these glasses marks when I don't wear my contacts..uffies ..and a little bit or mascara.

I donnot think you are a hypcrite. I use makeup too... but I look natural. No blue eye shadow and kohl for me!

I also have a closet full of abayas and galabiyas that rarely get worn (and a BIG box of scarves). I do wear the galabiyas around the house occasionally. They were just too cute not to have.

Am I the only one whose husband dislikes jilbab and abaya and prefers for me to wear jeans?

My husband prefers skirts. He likes me in abayas but doesn't push it. In fact, he discourages me from wearing abayas to work. I have a closet full of abayas that are crying for some wear time

Tell me about it...more caftans and abayas then I will ever wear out, so I just play dress up at home:lol:

I love bright scarves, too. I have a multi colored scarf with gold thread mixed in that I got in Khan el Khalili that I LOVE!

Here's a pic of me wearing it. It was sunny so forgive the squinty eyes.

Bridget...notice the fat face?

The fat face can be remedied by adjusting the positioning of the hijeb. Moving it slightly closer in on the cheek bones and having it cover your jowl area.

So how does the thing with the strait pin go? When a pin is used at the side of the head on level with the forehead or therabouts....do you put it in Downward or upward...Pointing toward the front or back of the head...?

It has something to do with preventing slippage or something. I keep forgetting.

I am hesitating to start wearing my scarves until I know the reason I am doing it is not only because my fiance would like me to. It is not the worst reason, but not the right one, either. I think general modesty in dress and behavior follows the spirit behind the idea of hijab. I also hesitate because, hey, I'm a coward and I live with my devout Christian mother who doesn't know I converted. I decided on 06/22/06 at 0622 and I remember I had just finished reading about 622CE (year many consider as 'the birth of Islam') does anyone notice a pattern with those numbers? I thought it was interesting. Beginnings.

Balmytigress: Religion has no compulsion. My family too, devout (esp since I converted) Catholics absouletly hate me being a Muslim and even more so hate wearing hijeb. I am in fact outcast cos of it.

It is rather difficult and sticky dilemna. I say take it easy. Veiling is the label of a Muslim woman, buuuuuuut no where does it say how pious you are. God knows I am sure what is in our hearts.

Wear your inner hijeb first... then work outward. Modesty is from within... And if you are covering all the goodies, I see no prob. Think and pray...and ask for guidance. DOnnot listen to anyone, including your mum or your SO. Of course they mean well, but this is a personal issue. ESP donnot veil for your man...This is a bad formula! If you start to feel experimentive one day... put a shawl around your neck or back...see how you feel...then maybe few weeks later try it on at home in private..then maybe weeks later have a hijeb wearing day...wear the hijb while outside of your neighbour. See how it feels...no pressure. It is up to you you wear it or not. You know who you are and most important id to please God...and God knows what is in your heart... That is all that counts.

May God guide you on your path.

And o ye, the pin goes up not down...so not to pook yourself.

Okie dokie, here's rahma's hijabi office fashion formula:

Shirt from target + skirt from shukr + scarf = office fabulous
