7 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WEAR THAT OUTFIT
1. Am I following my understanding of hijab as best as I can?
There are so many different opinions about what hijab is and what it is not. Some Muslim women only wear black, some Muslim women cover their faces, some Muslim women wear specific regional styles of clothing, and some Muslim women mix it all together. Whatever you choose to wear, as a Muslimah, you are responsible for finding out what Allah expects of you. My beliefs of how we have to dress are clearly presented on this website, but you have to do your own research. Ask Allah for guidance and then follow what you understand hijab to be to the best of your ability. As long as your intentions and actions are good, Allah will be pleased with you, inshallah. And that’s all that really matters, isn’t it?
2. Am I trying to make someone jealous or envious of me by wearing this?
We’ve all heard of the phrase “dress to impress”, but some women take this concept too far. It’s one thing to make sure that you look good for, perhaps, a job interview. (You don’t want to show up in tattered, old jeans do you?) But, it’s another thing to be completely arrogant in what you wear.
If you’re the type of girl who dresses up just to go to the grocery store (I’m guilty of this and actually, I recommend it!), you probably don’t dress that way out of arrogance. For me, it’s about how I feel about myself. When I dress up, I feel confident, presentable, and pretty – Allah loves beauty and there’s nothing wrong with feeling it!
On the other hand, you have women who dress up only when they’re going to be around certain other women. Many of us are guilty of doing this at one time or another. Only you know what your intentions are, so be mindful of them. Dress to make yourself feel good and be careful not to be a Show-Off.
3. Is my clothing tight?
Some people would have you believe that wearing a big, black abaya will completely conceal your curves at all times. Well, what happens when the wind blows your abaya to the right while you’re walking to the left? Sometimes, your shape will accidentally be revealed and no matter how many layers of clothes you pile on, you simply cannot disguise a healthy booty or a big chest! That said, you still need to be mindful of how tight your clothing is so that in ordinary situations (when the wind is not blowing your clothing all over the place), you’re covered properly.
A few things to think about: If you had to stretch your shirt over your chest just to button it up, your shirt is too tight. If you can clearly define the shape of your body when standing still in front of the mirror, your clothes are too tight. If you broke a sweat trying to put those pants on, they’re way too tight! There are a few other things to look for when trying to figure out whether or not your clothes are tight, but they’re all pretty obvious… When in doubt, check yourself out in the mirror again!
4. Is my clothing see-through?
What girl doesn’t love a frilly, lacy bra that’s worthy of a Victoria’s Secret runway show? I know that I love them, but I also know that I need to keep them to myself (and my hubby of course!). Transparency is a big fashion trend for Spring 2008. You’ll be seeing sheer tops, jackets, and pants all over the place, but those things are definitely not fit for Muslimahs. We all know that layering comes with the territory when you’re a Muslim woman, so if you find that whatever you’re wearing is a bit see-through, just throw on something opaque (like a t-shirt) underneath of it and you’ll be good to go!
5. Is what I’m wearing extravagant?
We already spoke about the fact that Muslim women shouldn’t dress up just to impress other people, but that rule is based on your intentions. Extravagance is a bit more difficult to define because what’s extravagant to me might not be extravagant to another Muslimah.
What does the word “extravagant” mean? One of the definitions of the word “extravagant” is that it is something that is excessive and unreasonable. For example, wearing a wedding gown on your wedding day is great! But, wearing your wedding gown outside on any other day is extravagant. You get the idea, right?
A few tips: If your entire outfit is shimmery, glittery, sparkly, and beaded, it might be a little extravagant. If you have jewelry on every single part of your body (rings on all 10 fingers, bangles up to your elbows, and a huge nose ring), it might be a little extravagant. If you’re abaya is trailing behind you like the train of a wedding gown, it might be a little extravagant. Ok, now I’ll admit that those 3 examples may have been a little extravagant themselves, but you get the idea! If you just can’t figure out whether or not your attire is a bit too much, take off some of your jewelry, or take off one of your decorative items and replace it with something that’s more simple in style.
6. Is my hair completely covered?
We’re all friends here right? So, let’s be real with each other. If you’re going to cover your hair, you probably should cover all of it. No bangs are allowed. No deliberate baby hairs plastered to your forehead with hair gel. And please, none of that half-scarf-on half-scarf-off stuff. With all of the lovely hijab pins out there, it’s unfathomable that a Muslimah can’t keep her scarf on properly. If you don’t believe that we have to cover our hair in the first place, well then I guess you’re excused. But, if you’re going to wear hijab, you should try your best to wear it correctly.
7. Is my chest covered?
Cleavage and headscarves just do not go together. It just doesn’t look right, you know? I’m not trying to give you an Islamic history lesson here, but… To my understanding, back in Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.) time, women (both Muslims and non-Muslims) wore headscarves that hung down behind their backs (click here for an idea of what that scarf style looks like). They also wore garments that looked similar to a man’s ihram (click here for an example). These garments left the women’s cleavages and upper skin exposed. Allah revealed verse 24:31 in the Qur’an to address this issue, stating that Muslim women should “…draw their veils over their bosoms…” So, this is pretty clear. If your top doesn’t cover your entire chest area, or if your shirt is really tight on your chest, just be sure that your hijab hangs down low enough to give you the proper coverage.
So that concludes my little list. I hope that I haven’t offended you and I hope that you enjoyed reading it. If you did, please invite other Muslimahs to come and read it as well. As always, I look forward to reading your comments on this article and if you have anything to add to the list, please post it up in the comments!

wow! this was really great. i hope you do more articles like this. jazak allah khair dear sister
barakAllahu fik sister, your list seems complete wAllahu a3llem
personally I find it more difficult to dress properly on summer as the weather is very hot in my town and my clothes are perhaps a little bit tight…but elhamdoulAllah I found ideas on your site for this summer inshAllah
I like this little checklist, very halpfull. Im new to hijab (well the head scarf part of it) and was wondering if you could maybe do a feature on diffrent styles of wearing it. I do find it difficult to keep my scarf on my head. I use pins etc but it always seems to slip. I currently have a safety pin tangled in my hair :S Im off to try get that out lol :)
this was a good read! love your writing style and don’t worry kima, there’s nothing offensive about it. ~ Riya
Funny how you said “no baby hairs plastered…” ……great post!
Alhamdulillah
I LOVE THIS SITE, i think i’m becoming addicted.
very good reminder. i think i’ll just print it out and tap to my closet :)
Salam dolls!
Muslimah – Thanks, I’m glad you like it and yes, I intend to continue the HIJAB 101 series, inshallah. :-)
Intisar – Many sisters have emailed me about the heat where they live and how it’s difficult for them sometimes. I intend to feature that issue in an article here inshallah but in the mean time, I can offer you a couple of tips. You will always feel hotter in tight clothing, so if possible, you should try to find things that are loose. Wide leg pants, breezy tunics, and long skirts are great for you. You also need to be careful about the fabric that you wear. Polyester will be a bit stifling in the heat because it doesn’t “breathe”. Cotton, linen, and silk are better fabric options for you. Email me if you’d like and let me know where you like to shop online or what stores you have available to you and I’ll try to give you some advice on what to buy. :-) Hope that helps!
Sadiyah – Oh, I hope I didn’t offend you with the “half-scarf-off half-scarf-on” thing. Allah knows your intentions sweety! So, if you’re trying to keep your scarf on and it just keeps slipping off, well than that is Allah’s will you know? I wonder though, is it slipping because of your hair or is it slipping because the fabric is too slippery? If it’s about your hair, you could try wearing a cotton underscarf and then put on your regular hijab. If the fabric is too slippery, you might just have to give up wearing that particular scarf. Or, maybe you could literally tie the scarf to secure it, rather than using pins. Let me know how it works out for you! :-)
Riya, Lily – Thanks! :-)
Medinah – I love that you love WE LOVE HIJAB! :-) Please share it with other Muslimahs.
Daphy – Alhamdulillah! I’m glad that this article has inspired you. :-)
LOL @ No deliberate baby hairs plastered to your forehead with hair gel.
People still do this?! I have natural baby hairs that like peak out so underscarves are my friends.
Thanks for this post sis. It came across as real non-judgemental naseeha. May Allah reward you for your efforts.
ma’a salaamah,
ha
great reminder on being modest and obedient to Allah swt…i’m loving this site…thanks and may Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala reward you and guide us all in the right direction.
Great post!! I never knew some girls actually put gel on their foreheads to have baby hairs stick out. lol Honestly, I don’t think thats a good look, it just looks sloppy.
Whenever i complained about how hot it was outside, my maternal Aunt would comment “Hell is even hotter” i always keep her quote as a reminder, because Allah knows the struggles we go through and in the end inshallah it’ll be all worth it salam
Takbir! Couldn’t have said it better!
Thank you for the posts. It is encouraging and a great reminder. I am a convert. And I must say, before I converted I always saw Muslimahs so beautiful, graceful, and ladylike. That is what drew me to this wonderful religion. Subhanallah! Just remember the best modesty is with your actions. Believe me, people notice. I did, Alhamduallah.
wow.. great article..very helpful. Keep up the great work!
ps. i think that if other muslimahs will be getting mad at this article then they should be really worried about how they dress, overall i am satisfied with the questions i have to address and the answers i get:D
Jazakullah Khair!
do you have any suggestions for hijabis with big chests? i hope this doesnt sound too blunt but i like fashion and clothes and im not a large person, but my chest is super huge and even if i buy my clothes 2 sizes too big the shape can still be seen any advice?
Wow! This was really really good, mashallah. I don’t think anybody would be offended at this.
To Amirah: I think that’s why she said in #3 that you can’t hide your butt or your breasts if they are big. All you can do is make sure your clothes are loose but you can’t control the way the clothes lay on your body. Maybe she’ll have more tips though. ****HUGS****
Let me just mention that for everybody who thinks we can’t dress up, you can’t make something haram that Allah didn’t make haram. I am carrying this over from another article that someone commented on here, but it’s important to know that. People can’t say women can only wear abiye or women can only wear this color or that color when Allah and Prophet Mohamed (s.a.w.) didn’t say that. Be careful!!!!
These are just the thoughts I think of when I am purchasing clothing, trying it on, walking out of the door with the purchase, and then when I finally put it on.
“Ok, now I’ll admit that those 3 examples may have been a little extravagant themselves, but you get the idea!”
Haha. You should visit us in Dubai, sweets. Those extravagances are a norm, here. Hehe.
Great list, Jizaak Allah.
Oh.. I’ve a question to the sisters… how do you guys feel about designer labels?
very complete list. you should make a page on different ways of wrapping and pinning scarves when I started wearing hijab I didn’t really have anyone one to show me so I had to figure it out myself. Recently a sister showed me a few tricks and I was like wow I wish I would have known that a long time ago that would have save me a lot of fighting with scarves. A lot of other sisters new at hijab might really appreciate tips as well, its really personal so a variety of types would be good. Its just an idea anyway. Also pictures would be helpful, just and idea :-)
salam alekuim sisters
as salaam alaikum. this is a good post..I reverted to Islam a year and a half ago and it took me a year to wear hijab and I’m so happy that I do. I feel very proud of myself and of the other sisters that wear hijab. my christian mother always makes comments that she would be “thrown” out of islam, because she couldn’t wear her hair covered and I reply..”Well Mommy, hell is hotter..LOL “(Just like the other sisters aunt) this website has helped alot, because I’m very much into fashion and was afraid that I wasn’t going to have alot of options when I started to cover and this site has helped me sooooo much and inshallah Kima, you will continue to help sisters like me who didn’t have a clue..
Shukron Sister.
Salaam.
Erica
LOVE this artical. I posted it on my facebook page :D. Keep up the great work xx.
very nice, mashallah =)
i go through this type of list before i walk out the house in the morning, lol
=)
keep up the good work!
i agree with some other sisters, i’d like to see some different styles of hijab and how to do them…ive figured out a basic few that i wear, but i know there are lots more =)
what a great things to share..kima
i’m gonna spread those tips to hijabis in Malaysia..
May Allah swt bless you..kima
Kima- No course you didnt offend me, dont be silly! I ordered a couple of cotten underscarf things last week and just recieved them this morning. Apart from the stray hair peaking out here and there, my scarf stayed :) So think that problems sorted, woo!
x
Masha’Allah sister Kima thanks for shairing this with us. I enjoyed reading this, plus this check list is a great reminder to us all … may we all benefit from it :D
<3
Assalamu Alaikum…..such a great guideline for all muslimahs.
Salam .. i love this site, i cant get enough of it honestly ! its great .. about the hijabs, well i would also love to see some new styles. i know a few but i would love to learn more to make things different =)
salam sisters. I am a converter as other sisters here. I cannot wear hijab everytime because of my mother. She feels so sad when I wear it…
she suffers a lot.
Good article. Yes, we can wear almost anything, with some conditions: not transparent, or if transparent, then with something else to cover up; not too tight, but not necessarily very wide; not to impress, but to feel good and comfortable – and to cover entire body except for the face and hands. This is enough hijab. It’s known among the Muslims. However, unfortunately, my husband’s culture – Pakistani culture – is all about impressing people; especially with clothing, and as much extravagant it is, that’s better… They don’t understand the meaning of hijab. Women wear sometimes even nikab, but they show their hair, they wear headscarves but they reveal the arms – but mostly, they have no coverage at all, as salwar kameez is often completly transparent and with short sleeves, sometimes really tight… They put make-up, dress up to impress others, make themselves beautiful for other than their husbands and close relatives; they don’t even care about who is their mahram and who is not as to the coverage – if they wear hijab, they take it off easily in front of non-mahram cousins or even foreign men, and they have no barrier in their behaviour towards men, so do the men… Pity for them; to your article you should add necessarily, that hijab is an obligation in Islam if we are Muslims, and – that HIJAB IS NOT ONLY A CLOTHING – IT INCLUDES THE MANNERS AND BEHAVIOUR (I do not mean to be excessively strict not to talk to anyone, not to learn Islam from male teachers accordingly to sharia’h rules in presence of other people, without khulwa – which means being alone with opposite sex person – as some misguided people believe; yes, we can participate in social life openly, IF WE LOOK AFTER OUR MODESTY AND WE HAVE A MODERATION AND SOME LIMITS IN CONTACT WITH THE PEOPLE.) That’s the meaning of Hijab. Thanks. (Aisha, UK)
Salam alakum again sisters,
Hi Gloria,
I went through the same obstacle when I converted. Just remember you are wearing to please Allah, and inshallah Allah will give you strength.It is often hard when you are close to family members and they disapprove but it is for Allah’s sake. I started wearing hijab a week after 9/11 and of course all my non-Muslim loved ones went nuts. And even if you feel like you simply cannot, Allah knows best. Inshallah. I will make dua for you. Masalama.
one tip for a hijab style that will stay longer….’tigh ur hair up’ instead of down, looks better too.
let me try and write another one, i hope you guyz will actually understand….
take ur hijab and make one side longer then the other, fold the front only so much that u can actually see its folded, the two ends don’t actually have to meet only fold it a little, know, take ur hijab with one side shorter then the other and tigh it at the back of your hair, once you have done that you will end up with one longer side. take that longer side and put it across ur head (from the right ear to the left)when u get to the chin keep wraping it till u return to the right side of ur ear put a pin on it and the look should look like u wearing a matiching cap with a hijab….hope it helped, i’m not really good at this but inshallah it’ll help u!!!
Salam, great article! May Allah gives you sawab for posting this, I wanna share it to others also. Thanks :)
Thank you sister Valerie. A great piece of advice. Meshallah. Allah bless you. Kisses from a Spanish sister.
Dear sister Aisha. I understand you. I am in the same situation as you. I am also a pakistani’s wife. I agree with you. Pakistani girls don’t follow islamic codes too much!!!!!!!!
I usually wear pakistani clothes but I always be careful about the things you have said before. No transparences, no short sleeves, no tight kameezes and the dupata embrances all my body, hair and neck!!!!
Such a huge piece of cloth…it is a pity it always falls down!! isn’t it?
WHY DO SOME COMMENTS HAVE TO OFFEND A NATIONALITY? NOT ALL PAKISTANIS DON’T WEAR HIJAB THE RIGHT WAY.
jazakallah khair..a vr gud article ..
Of course not ALL PAKISTANIS WEAR HIJAB IN A WRONG WAY. Generally it is.
I think that if we make comments about a reality, it doesn’t offend anybody. I am Spanish woman and I never learned to dance ‘flamenco’ and I don’t know to play the guitar. Jeje!! I work all day!! and I have no time to sleep…Jeje!!
Just talking in general sisters!!
i just want to say this article is very beautiful. though i am only studying islam and have yet to take my shahada, this article has helped me with my questions regarding hijab. thank you
If your gonna wear hijab for the sake of the “look’ or ‘fashion’ then your going straight to hell!!
Hijab is an act of tying the tounge,heart,purifying your personal intentions and to prevent to do the haraam (forbidden), and being concious of your actions and that is why its a personal choice.
This article is right on point! I have seen a lot of Muslim fashion faux pas and I think every sister needs to read this one. For Sis Julia, I’m not really sure what your problem is because this site is just helping us to enjoy what wear. Hijab is a required GARMENT, what’s wrong with being fashionable with it? Nothing! :-D Should the writers here talk about tying your tongue all day? No, the site is about Islamic fashion so you should expect to see them talking about the clothes and they do a great job of it too!
I really love this site. I hope you keep on making this. Actually, i am starting to wear hijab….i just started few days though….i am still on the process of experimenting…this article helped me a lot though. sis, can you make about some tips and styles about wearing hijab in HOT CLIMATE specially here in my country philippines…sometimes, i find it uncomfortable….thanks in advence…may Allah bless you…
Sis Julia: Why would we be wearing it for the sake of fashion or the look? that makes no kinds of sense. If we were only concerned about fashion then we wouldnt wear hijab at all. But we are following the command to wear hijab and this site shows us how to be fashionable while still following the command from Allah (swt). Astagfirllah, Inshallah Allah will forgive you for offending people and inshallah Allah will bless people to think before they say negative things especially to your muslim sisters. I dont know what is wrong with people. It seems like on every post that kima makes there has to be at least one person making negative comments. If you dont like what this site is about then why are you on it? People need to stop causing fitna and either love it or leave it. Kima I think that you are doing a great job at all that you do and inshallah Allah will continue to bless us with you and your wonderful site. salams
This is a WONDERFUL list Sister Kima, and it is not offensive at all! Sisters we all have be concious what we say by not speaking ill of any race or group of people. Allah is our judge and we must follow his commands to the best of our abilities! Wearing hijab for the sake if fashion?!? In what country is it fashionable to wear hijab? Wow, i don’t know sisters we need to be more concious of what we say… i need i mention it is TOTALLY HARAM to tell someone they are going to hell for any reason! I am a muslimah who was born and raised in America so i have had the opportunity to practice Islam in its purest state without any cultural influences, I believe many of us have taken our Cultural beliefs and made attampted to make them Islamic. Again sisters try your best to follow the commands of Allah and not those of society.
I loved this. alhamdulillah, i’m glad I can say I am abiding by the above rules.
I’ve worn abaya on & off, but as you said, we need to decide what’s modest. I feel wearing a pretty dress, knee-length or longer, with jeans always looks good & is modest. I enjoy wearing skirts too.
Thank you for this site-it rocks!
Salaam sisters – I know this is like super late. I stopped by today to see what was new on this site because there are a few things that I like (the maxi dress is one!!!!). I am one of the sisters that, according to another sisters words, comes by and makes negative comments about what sister Kima is posting.
Firstly I would like to say that me and sis Julia are not the same person! I would never say that anyone is going to the hellfire for wearing hijab fashionably because that is for Allah to decide.
Also, in response to further comments here after I talked about hijab being about modesty instead of making a fashion statement, I noticed sisters saying stuff that implied that anyone who opposed over-doing hijab “fashion” is negative, or is saying it is haraam, or needs to worry about their personality or iman. I would like to say that it is not fair to assume that someone such as myself who thinks hijab is about modesty in ALL respects does not necessarily have problems with iman or personality.
The last thing I wanted to say too is that I mentioned back in April that if someone is wearing an Abaya and niqab, it does not command the attention of people thinking she is pretty and in style. I think a couple of sisters thought I was saying that niqab and Abaya is fardh, and that color and skirts are haraam, and that is not the case. I wear some color, and I do wear niqab, but only because I want to, not because I think it is necessary for Muslimahs.
With that, I would like to say that my intent was never to cause any uproar, and that advice on my part is over and done with – the only reason I came back and said this is because some of the comments seemed to be misread or misinterpreted, and I wanted to make it clear that I am your sister in Islam, not an opposer, and the purpose was to remind just as a sister reminded me about this issue, and Allah knows best what is in our hearts and knows best which of us are striving, and I have not judged any of the sisters using this site because that in itself is a bad deed, to judge someone else’s intentions when I do not know.
Salamz.
I was just wondering if it is right or not to wear colored hijabs? well for example turquoise color, blue, orange. Because i have this afghani friend of mine and she’s been telling me to only wear dark colors, like black, navy blue or burgundy. I’m not sure because the heat outside and a dark colored hijab just makes me go crazy. And somebody actually once came up to me and asked “umm is black like the color of islam?”. lol im confused!!! please someone help me clear this out.
Thank- you. =)
These were wonderfully and comically stated. I love it!
Salams folks! I just thought I’d pipe in with my two cents on the subject. Once again, Kima, wonderful post with great advice, may Allah Ta’ala reward you. Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim. About the subject of intentions, I must say that I have to agree with a lot of the sisters here, especially Sister Aisha (though I don’t necessarily want to single out any particular nationality, but Allahu 3lem). Last year I attended Eid prayer in San Diego, and I was appalled at the number of sisters with various forms of incorrect hijab (or no hijab at all combined with tight, short, revealing clothing, but that’s another story). I saw ALL of the faux pas you mentioned here, and one that you forgot to mention. I’m not trying to offend or pass judgment here, but, as Kima said, let’s be real ladies. Before we go to the masjid, or out in public for that matter, we should probably forego the perfume bath. It’s highly inappropriate for a Muslim woman, and moreover, it’s just annoying for other people to have to deal with. How many of us have been trapped on the train or bus, or in an elevator with someone who overdid it with the fragrance? It’s sickening.
Assalamualaikum ,
iam from indonesia , i just found ur site , and ur subject it’s cooolll , it’s can help me 4 use the right hijab specially 4 me , c iam architect use hijab and always working in outside.
Allah SWT always bless u all my sister
Thank you Kima for this wonderful and helpful article. I am an American convert and just started wearing hijab 2 weeks ago. Al Humdullah, everything is going great. I am so happy i started covering, I feel a “peace” in my heart, Insha’allah Allah is pleased with me. Your website is so helpful and interesting. I love the fact that I can communicate with muslimah sisters from all over the owrld. Keep up the good work. Also, can you post more ideas for women with big butts….Thanks .
SALAM LOVELIES!
I HAVE A HUGE PASSION FOR FASHION AND WILL SOON INSHA’ALLAH BECOME A FASHION DESIGNER! MY GOAL IS TO INCORPORATE THE WESTERN WORLD INTO THE MUSLIM LIFESTYLE!
IM EXCITED!
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR SHOWCASING WHAT MOST MUSLIM GIRLS DO: SHOWING OFF THEIR PERSONALITIES WHILE MAKING MODESTY LOOK FASHIONABLE.
SO COOL!
ASALAYMOU ALAYKOUM SISTERS!!
FRAH/FARAH
thank u for this page its really great but i like also some pictures or videos on some modern styles of veils thank u
Shukrun for this site! I am a Christian who is seriously looking into Islam. I don’t want to jump into anything before I am sure of my beliefs, but this site has helped me to understand what modifications I would need to make in my dress. I like that you don’t show all abayas and jilbabs…although beautiful, I think they would alienate my Christian family and make it hard for me to get a job here in America.
I like to read all of the comments from Muslimah’s on this site and how they genuinely strive to please God in the way they dress. Christians are also instructed to be modest but have somehow lost sight of this (me included). Whether or not I come to Islam, I am working to modify my dress in order to please God and respect myself.
AsSalaamu Alaiykum Uhktis,
MashaAllah, that was wonderful!!! I truly thought my personal style was lost when i got married …this site has helped me make adjustments to my dress without going outside islam; and Hubby and I can actually agree on clothing these days instead of the basic (Blue,Black ,Brown,Burgundy and maybe Navy or Green) Come on any married sisters outthere must know what I’m talking about…LOL
This site helped so much!
Shurkrun,MaSalaams Umm Yasir fi Philly
Thanks for this article! This is so true yet hilarious at the same time. Asalamu Alaikum :0)
Salam Ruqiyah,
Why is your husband poking his nose into your wardrobe? Not to sound nosey, but you were like “any married sisters out there must know what I’m talking about,” and I don’t. My husband (yes, he is a Muslim. He converted when he was 19) knows that we have different tastes and never tries to tell me what to wear and what not to wear. Heck, my own MOTHER hasn’t done that since I was 16!! Lol. Seriously though, what do you mean by that?
Asalamualikum Sister,
I just love the whole article, It’s soo good MASHALLAH! May ALLAH Almighty bless you & your family with Health, Peace & Happiness, You are doing a great job sister! Keep Up the good work (Y)
With lots of love,
Sahar (Sa7ar)
Assalm Alaikum ,
I am so happy you said something about the is my hair covered , I am new to Islam , and I did not understand while in Masjid or out in other places seeing other muslimahs and they had part hair showing or scarf so lose that you can see hair . I was like ok what is point of even ware the hijab ? Thanks for this , but also I was told that it was allowed to show just certain part of the hair .
