| OOPS wrong board :O 443 to 135 oops I mean 136 (hehe) Just trying to help you bros out Since I'm here tell me. What do bros think of hijabs? Is there a color prefer? If your wife wore a brightly colored one would that bother you? What about if your wife wore hijab to match your suit? (color coordinate? (hehe) Cross stitch pattern anyone??? :D |

| sisters who have reached that stage of spirituality to wear it. And us brothers often don’t see how much it has been demanding for the sisters, nor are appreciative of that. Here is a test for us bro's, starting tomorrow whenever you see a hijabi the first thing which should come ones mind is " Mash'Allah " and make a dua for her, try it for sometimes lets say a week or 2 or 3, and one day sit down and analyze your self and see the changes within you , I mean before and after. I know for a fact that seing a hijab in North America had a positive impact and in many cases a very deep one that the sisters are not aware off. Just to illustrate this, I recall the words of a bro with whom we were walking with one summer afternoon in Montreal (& Montreal in the summer is a very very difficult place to be for one’s iman ,trust me on that ), the brother was complaining how diffficult it was for his iman to come down on campus but he had a class and a 2 hour session of group work. He was really angry and afraid, for he was feeling his inner being was changing and he was no longer in that quiet and calm state. He was even pondering to drop the class and go somewhere else just for the summer , that’s how bad it was. Suddenly out of nowhere in that sea of half clothed women a sister come by, simple, noble, with assurance, in her hijab, and simply put it was as if it was a beacon flashing, an island of safety for the lost sailors in the middle of the Pacific, or the sight of palm trees for the lost desert traveller. The brother composure changed and he suddenly become another human being, for just the fact to see that sister who ever she was ( May Allah bless her and increase her in Goodness and Iman), gave him hope and the extra little something to get going, the little sparkle to push on, and above all something to ponder upon, help him keep his inner sanity. Two minutes later she was followed by a Noble sister in Niqab who passed beside a women who was tattooed with just a top half and a skimpy mini skirt, I mean side by side their were walking, a perfect picture , one from "hell" and another from "paradise". I do remember one of us saying MASh'Allah and another saying " May my cheek be the dust upon which she walks " and the brother gave him a funny look. He was told that was said because that sister was going to college like that, in her niqab, that noble sister was studying in 2 halaqas and was teaching in others halaqas to the younger people, that sister was working hard trying to get things going for her ummah, she was among those who have dedicated their life teaching and helping others. That's why he said that. But later when I went to Europe well it was getting watered down I mean the feeling of seeing a hijabi was not the same strong one , I wondered why and I come to the conclusion that it was because of the numbers . I noticed in the French speaking part of Europe, the population of Maghribi' and Turkish is higher so the probability of seeing a sister in hijab is higher . Abit further down in particular in East Africa ( Kenya) ,the noble institution of hijab has been relegated down to the customs and tradition, where few wear it out of religious conviction but more like a traditions coated with Din. Where instead of Iman being the driving impetus behind where it, it has turn to be fears of the family and the community . But the most hard one to swallow was in regards to the Niqab ,for it is frown upon because people have abused it , concealing behind it to lead a life style contrary to our noble teachings. To the point of people saying watch out and be carefull of the “Ninja”(Niqabi’s). I guess even sis Mystic can testify to that ( ie: Kenya - Mombasa, the old town areas). And that' applies to many of our countries where the majority are muslims including the middle east where i'm now. It all comes down to knowledge and that is the big difference between the Ummah in North America where people wear it out of knowledge and iman, a deep conviction which changes a human being, and the ummah in the southern parts of the world. I’ve noticed that among the best Muslimah’ I have seen around are the sisters in North America and May HE(Jala thana’u) increase them in yearning of beneficial knowledge and the implementation of that knowledge, and bless them in ways only He(swt) knows best for them. I recall a lecture by Sh A. Adhami in Toronto 2-3 summers ago about Gender Relations, it was jam packed by young and old who came there to learn something and improve their inner state and din, and I remember Sh Hamza’s lecture in Ottawa last sprint, and how the place was so full that some brothers had to seat down on the carpet against the wall in the back, Mash’Allah wa thuma Mash’Allah. How books and tapes on din are "hot cakes" as soon as they are out and some people complain about it, that how come not enought of them were available out there. People who are eager and dedicated , Mash’Allah o’ people of North America, May He (Swt) bless you and increase it for you and make it easy for you. Yet in East Africa for example people don’t read no more, the masajid are there only for salats, the halaqas are very limited, books…. Well they are on the shelves collecting dust, and people are busy locked up in their homes watching “ Friends” on the Dish antenna and the latest of Oprah. As Sh Hamza’ said once quoting another Sheykh, the minaret on the masajid are pointing towards the Heavens and the satellite dishes are pointing up north, and people are dreaming on what the virtual world has to delude them with. In the old days the most precious belonging in a household were books passed down from one generation to another. Today one walk in a house back in Africa and people show them their big Sony TV, with a loaded Sound system. Well what’s going to come out of that bayt … that’s another discussion by it self. May HE (swt) have mercy on us all . Amin Ps: don't burn me for this pzz Sisters, Hijab wore out of conviction is as beautiful as a garden of Andalucia and if that is coupled with real haya then it’s like that garden with a symphony of humming birds, and a ballet of butterflies. |

| This thread was actually started as a joke? I thought I better mention that in case some of you did not read the thread in the Sister's Cafe titled... Can I start a little trouble here? Some of the brothers said the reason they had only something like 135 threads and the sister's had over 400 is cause sister's talk about the same thing over and over again, like out of 400 threads that 200 were about marriage and 100 about hijabs and the other 100 I think they said cross stitch and other stuff. This was just a joke. Get it ... hijabs thread in the bro's board??? |

| caraj I think the more that is covered the better it is. I do find it irratating when people wear see through ones, or hijabs that leave most of the hair visible. But what i find most strange is when people wear hijab at home in front of relatives that they are allowed to uncover infront of but take it off out side in front of people they most cover from. Kind of defeats the purpose? When a Women wears it, For some reason, she seems very respectful and decent, even thought i know nothing about her. And many of my kaffar friends tell me this. They tell me how they will like to get married to Muslim women. And get upset when I tell them there is no marriage between a Muslim lady and a disbeleiver. |

| I think that the more a woman covers, i.e. Burqa, the stronger she is in iman(faith) and taqwa(fear of Allah SWT), insha'Allah. Ultimately, I do not care what color my wife's hijab is really. However, I do not like her to wear very colorful ones though, or ones' with pictures or designs, neither does she. I only have two sets of Qamis(?), a kind of goldish one that is nice, and a plain white one, so I do not think that any of her hijabs match mine. I too, have always been annoyed by couples who wore like matching outfits or jogging suits. I think it is tacky, but to each their own. Regards, QAK |

| Assalamu'alaikum :-) [quote]I too, have always been annoyed by couples who wore like matching outfits or jogging suits. I think it is tacky, but to each their own.[/quote] *L* U should come to Singapore during Eid. Families dress up all colour co-ordinated. Those newly weds, would dress with matching hijabs, mathing baju kurungs, matching kufis, and those with with children would have the same too. They'd plan, what colour their family would be for Eid.. yellow this year? or green? or blue? If one of the family members got lost, you'll know which one they're from! Heck, it happened to me, once... looong time ago ;-D OK, I deviated... sorry! :) |

[/quote] Mashaallah so beautifully said:) Jazaka Allahu Khayran for the boost akhy. The only thing i wanted to point out is that the relegation of din to a set of meaningless traditions and Reputation honoring is a symptom that has gone beyond the boundaries of geography. The same stories of illicit niqab wearers are going on in the middle east, north africa, etc...The despicable effects of western media seem to have made their way into most Muslim households *world wide*...despite the environment you will have your share of hypocrites and true strugglers in the way of Allah. May He guide us and protect us all (Amin). A whole family of color coordinators Barr??? that's a lot of work for the mom huh...Sounds cute though ;-D :-) Maliha [wlm] |

| Salaam The best Hijabs are those which have flashlights, and hands on them which clap. But seriosly, the colour of the hijab probably depends on the women wearing it. To me Black women look best in Red, Maroon Scarves. Asian/indian women look best in Black, Dark Blue Hijabs Chinese/far est women look best in flowery Hijabs. White women also look best in flowery white Hijabs! Bro's look best with NO hijab. |

Asalamu Alykum, I think mashaAllah sisters look pretty in all hijabs, i personally use to color coordinate and than i guess you grow up and you get into solids but alhamdullilah i love colors as long as they are not flashy or defeat the purpose of modesty :) sorry i just realized this question is triggered for bro's only :) JazakumAllahu Khair |
