wouldn't know.

:twisted:

Hijab is a compulsory item of clothing for muslim women. How they wear it is their choice as long as it meets a minimum criteria. It does NOT mean people wearing it will act in a certain way. All it means is they are meeting one of the obligation on them.

A bad beard day? that would be almost every day! Seriously To get it right I need to allow it to 'mess up' for a couple of weeks or so, then I can get it shaped (almost) properly. (I hate things to look too good. Not me. so if I comb my hair too well, I need to mess it up slightly. Same with clothing, beard etc.)

Having a bad day becasue of it is all about being conscious of others perceptions. I rarely am, so I do not get the bad beard days! (unless I totally mess it up. But even then I don't really bother with the caring bit...)

Well, you did ask!

my only point was that the booming hijaab buisness has led to more and more ppl adopting the hijaab and reducing it as a fashion asscessory

It reduces the stigma for those who wear it for the right reasons, but have a vanity streak. It lowers the barrier to change.

p.s how can u mess up a beard?

Surprisingly easy.

salamz

hijab is like hair, ur always gonna have a bad hijab day. i found it easiest to wear to the al-amira style hijabs, no mess, no fuss and u dont even need 2 iron it. (and it's the only thing that actually suits lazy me)

some ppl wear hijab for the sake of wearing it. gals get up 2 no good with it, same as some bearded guys that get up2 no good. ppl need to realise that hijab has different meanings to different ppl n not all hijabis r in the same boat. like when i went to the carribean n ppl thought i was a rasta coz i had my hijab tied back.

as for the booming hijab business, in a way it's good, y cant young muslim gals b trandy? but 50 quid for a pin is way over the top.

Though they may not act in that certain way...that too is part of hijab and is obligatory. Modesty. Not only in dress but in ACTION too.

And when hijab starts attracting the opposite gender and brothers start eyeing sisters who try to over beautify themselves through wearing a tight hijab and masses of make up, then no, you aint fulfilling nothing coz your basicly contradticting the point of hijab. Nice hijabs are good, colours her and there are a change, hijab pins look gangsta [ btw Crescent Collections has some gangsta hijab pins ..contact me for more info ] ..but what i mean is, if in the end the sister tries so hard to do her hijab up to make herself look just as good with it on ... then whats the point? Hijab is mento hide ones beauty, not make one find other ways of getting folk to stare at you ... you know what i mean?

[ sorry if the tone is harsh...im mainly speaking to myself as a reminder ]

Erm....is that near zamzam....or is it at the other end?

my sister stood in front of at least 4 mirrors today-trying to fix her hijaab up

I think that's a good thing, as long as she doesn't spend too much time doing it. I think fixing your hijab properly is important before you go out because I see some girls and women who don't wear their headscarf properly so it 'comes off' and then they spend some time fixing it and a few minutes later, it comes off again....it's almost like they're doing it on purpose.

almost ALL of the Muslim "pretty fashionable" girls from my year 11 cover their hair now which they didnt when we were in school :shock:

It's completely the opposite for the girls who went to my school, and for some reason the girls in my college take their headscarf off in summer.....may be the weather :?

You know boys stuff....I like nice-smelling atthars (perfumes). The shops around here sell a small bottle quite 'expensively'.

I'll buy in bulk if you can get it 'cheaply'.

I literaly take 2-3 mins to do my hijab if its one of those square type ones however if its a shawl or stole then it takes about 10mins to get it to sit right.

If my hijab aint done right I get so annoyed and feel rubbish all day!

I rarely wear accessories unless its a special occasion or I feel in the mood of adding accessories.

well............sumtymz it takez me 2 minitz 2 do ma hijab n sumtymz it takes me 30 minitz. if i dnt iron it the nyt b4,it getz 2 creased in the day so i hav 2 iron it b4 i go 2 bed. i wear pashminas all the tym n i love them but wen they dnt go on proper i feel irritable especially at skool. ppl alwayz ask me how i do it n i show them n wen i do it getz mashed up agen. 1nce this lady on the bus asked me 2 show her how i did it,she wasnt evn a muslim! but yeh das my story lol salamz xx

I dont think i've ever had a bad hijaab day. I stick my hijaab on any how regardless if it looks funny. Aslong as my hair is coverd and my hijaab is secure i dont mind how it looks.

.

I wear a pashmina daily and it takes up to 5-10 min to get it right as well...also throughout the day I have to adjust it at least twice in front of a mirror.

I often have bad hijaab days...somtimes its too tight and I cant open my mouth wide enough to eat and it leaves a mark on my neck. :?

oh yeah i remember them days MSloooll. when i was a new hijabi did it too tight left marks on my neck, couldn't breath properly, would take ages putting it on, would need an underscarf coz my hijab wouldn't stay put without one, hence i was often overheated.

That was until i discovered khimars, no pins required, no underscarf, quick and easy to wear, rarely need ironing. Feel much cooler and free, could things get any better?

I sometimes wear square scarves and wrap it into a niqab,on the advice of Lilsis i tried it and use that style occasionally
But most of the time it's khimars for me, on in a minute. But i can still pin scarves in under 5 mins just like angel, us sisters are so versatile and clever

P.S i agree with Cricketgal's comments!

[color=magenta]lolz this is funny, n ur so right POSHAK MAHAL is my favourite hijab shop by miles,some of the scravs there are so exquisite.did you see the new £8 scarvs with loads of sequins n that roundish design,i got one in brown the other day i love that scarf.

OMG, iv had bad hijab days bare times, in secondary school especailly, i used to wear them three cornered scarves n i was trying to fix it without a mirror,n thats when it went all wrong, i coudnt sit still in my maths class i couldnt concerntrate at alll n it was really peeving me off so i excused myself from the lesson went to the toilet n fixed it,n i was all better.

but its wors when im on my free lessons in sixth from if my scarf annoys me i go out of school come home chang my scarf n off to school i go.

nw im all for pashminas there ar so many different sorts mum has wicked style n i could pass some of the scarves she buys as my own,i cant wear three cornered scarves anymor

muslim bro poshak mahal is on the other side way past zamzam there is one in bethnal green but that one is rubbish

i forget whtz the big deal with netted hijab it doesnt cover your hair?[/color]

i get vey happy when i see sisters trying to fix thier hijabs it make me smile when i see them in front of teh mirror as to seeing some sisters combing their hair endlessly trying to get it straight and slim doesn't thier hand ever get tired !!!

Im all for colour, i wear the rainbow

Salam

When I ask people their views, I find that even non-muslims
are now beginning to admit that girls who are covered up
appear so respectful in their beautiful veils.
They are so much better looking than those who are all flesh.

I mean, no one in their right mind would buy a peeled banana would they ?

true, and rather unfortunate. hijaab is losing its true purpose. we need to stop seeing it as a political statement or just a piece of cloth. it's a whole lot more than that.

exactly i think tht by wearing a hijab a few sisters think they done their bit no one can think bad of them and start to indulge into other matters.

I do like the fact that hijab is seen as more common and that more people are open to wearing it but like it has been pointed out its rather unfortunate that ppl are wearing it for the wrong reasons or don't have a true understanding of what hijab entails.

My sis saw a niqaabi wid a boy outside cinemas and they wer kissing and not just a quick peck on da cheek..

Another girl, MashAllah jilbab/hijaab but when it cumz to going out, mini skirt, clubs, drinkin, the lot. and the parents dont no anything.

sum pretend to pray on the pray mat infrnt of ther parents but dnt really pray.

:shock: i know

These dayz girlz only wear the hijaab so guyz think ther "shareef"

Last year this girl i knew never came to skool on the last day cz her dad sed to her u have to wear the hijaab and she didnt want to, so she stayed at home.

Its so sad, to see sisters using and abusing the hijaab to get away wid things.

We need to make duA for these sisters.
