The 21st Century Summer Hijab.new style update

Summer hijabs are a perfect way to stay cool this summer. Scarves are light, breathable and come in many gorgeous colours and designs, whilst still maintaining the modest requirements of the clothing - without appearing drab. The summer hijab is developing into the perfect symbol of modern 21st century Muslim clothing.
The secret to the perfect summer hijab is obviously the fabric used. Natural fibres like cotton, linen, rayon, and silk are a must for comfort during a (maybe) sweltering British summer. These lightweight fabrics are cool, offer protection from the sun, and also allowing the skin to breathe, while dark heavyweight polyester fabrics should be keep right at the back of your wardrobes until further notice!
Islam doesn't have any specific dress code for a Muslim woman, rather it has certain levels of guidelines to follow - for example, that a dress should be covering and it should also be loose fitting. Whether people are comfortable in the black robes or they are comfortable in the colour ones, it has just a matter of choice for Muslims in modern Britain.





Although the hijab started out as a simple plain piece of fabric to cover the head and sometimes the face, variations over the past few years have provided an exciting "fashion" touch to hijabs, with young British Muslim designers introducing a youthful modern slant to Islamic clothing. These have proved to be very popular amongst younger Muslims and have also caused a mini-stir within the UK Fashion industry.
Islamic Fashion has picked up enormous heat - not literally - and momentum during the past few years. Islamic Clothing manufacturers and designers have been hard at work to come up with very fascinating hijab Styles and fashions. By mixing light fabrics with elegant summery styles, the market has seen an explosion of hijab fashion never seen in previous years in Britain.
Aminul Hoque is an Islamic affairs specialist and is an expert in young people and cultural identity. He offered an insight into the current popularity of the hihab by saying: "Contrary to popular belief and stereotypes, most girls choose to wear the hijab. It often signifies pressure and that they are forced to wear it, but from my experience women choose to wear it. I met lots of girls who chose to wear the hijab, even when their mothers didn't."
Could this be due to the designs of exciting young Muslim designers? Maybe so. In conclusion, the summer of 2011 may just continue to see the exciting rise of the popularity of the hijab in popular culture.

Choosing a Hijab.new style update

When you go to buy a hijab, chances are that you aren't too sure what you're looking for or you can't find what you really want. However, there are also a few things that you need to keep in mind in order to pick the best hijab for you.
First of all, you can make a hijab, without a lot of trouble. This is something that you need to keep in mind especially if you don't want to spend money on buying something that you can make for probably half of the price. However, if you aren't very sewing-inclined, it is best that you just go ahead and buy one.
Next, you can buy them offline. Even for something made by someone else, hijab are still fairly cheap and if you really don't know what you're doing in the sewing department, they aren't that much of a loss.





Lastly, if you live in a large Muslim community, you may be able to find them at a Muslim specialty shop or something of that nature. If you don't, however, it can be super hard to find these and you may find yourself at a loss if you do not live in an ethnically Muslim state or area.
Then you have the choice between what patterns that you have. If you traditionally wear an abaya, you can choose whatever color that you want, although it is suggested that you have one of every color since you will have a wider and more interesting variety.
Keep in mind that if you normally wear other items that it is probably a good idea to pick colors that go with your outfits and patterns that will go with them as well. It helps you to feel nice and coordinated and let's face it-sometimes when something doesn't match, it looks a tiny bit tacky. You can choose from geometric patterns, animal patterns, and pretty much anywhere in between. It's all a matter of what you prefer.
You can also choose whether or not you would like tassles or not. Tassles are an interesting means of spicing up the way that your outfit looks. You could wear them with pretty much anything, but you can also wear them with dress outfits. It's up to you.
Keep in mind that a hijab is a very personal garment-and that no matter what anyone else says, you should buy one that you feel most comfortable with. Don't worry about trends-just wear what makes you most comfortable!
Also remember that you can buy pins for your head covering, usually at the same place in which you are shopping for your hijab. Take the time to pick a pair of pins that works the best for you. For example, if you are new to wearing a head covering, you may want to pick a pair of pins that has a closed end so that you don't end up stabbing yourself. If you are more experienced, you can stick to stick pins!

The Importance Of Kinship In Islam.new style update





The importance of kinship and maintaining the ties of kinship is evident from the teachings of Quran and Islam. One can easily see that it is very important as the teachings have been repeated numerous times in the Hadith and Quran. According to a Hadith,
"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him maintain the bonds of kinship."(Bukhari)
Allah urges Muslims to be kind and compassionate in all kinds of dealings with friends and family members. In this case, family refers to immediate as well as extended family. This has great importance in Islam because it will result in positive societal affects and will lead to united Muslim families. Additionally, when families are united, they result in a more united nation and Ummah.
Allah knows about everything because He is the All-Knower. Therefore, He knows that severing ties with family members is not right for the Muslim community. Therefore, Muslims should avoid breaking ties based on petty problems such as money, personal grudges, envy and differences in religious beliefs.
Money
It is a sad and depressing fact that most individuals in this world are materialistic. The world revolves around materialistic gain and people often break their ties when those who are not financially as strong as they are. It is very sad to see that often family members break their ties with other family members simply because they do not fall into the same income bracket. Allah says in the Holy Quran,
"And those who break the covenant of Allah, after its ratification, and sever that which Allah has commanded to be joined (i.e. they sever the bond of kinship and are not good to their relatives) and work mischief in the land, on them is the curse, and for them is the unhappy home." (Ar-Rad:25 also Muhammad:22-23)
In this verse, Allah curses those who sever their ties with their family. These people are deprived of the mercy of Allah. Allah urges Muslims to be kind and compassionate to those who are economically and financially not so stable. Providing financial support to family members in the time of their need is a pious act and Allah rewards those people immensely.
Personal Grudges
Being a human being, it is understandable to have misunderstandings and false assumptions. However, those who forgive and accept apologies are among the ones that Allah loves. Allah encourages Muslims to have a clean and pure heart, free of grudges and misunderstandings.
Envy
Even in a family, some family members will be more blessed than others. This is because Allah has not created everyone equal, even if everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah. This means that individual differences exist and based on these individual differences, some people are believed to be more blessed than others. Therefore, even family members can be jealous or envious of others achievements. Allah says in the Quran,
"Allah favored some of you over others with wealth and properties-Do they deny the favors of Allah?" (Surah Nahl:71)
