Having a Bambi Moment - Angry Bloggers Need Not Apply

Im having a Bambi moment. This Disney movie clip from Bambi puts it perfectly:

"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all."

I started this blog to reach out to my fellow Muslim Sisters and also to embrace my Non-Muslim ones. A few people (both Muslim and Non) seem to have a chip on their shoulder or an axe to grind when their fingers hit the keyboard. Its mean, and uncalled for. The Golden Rule states: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Put another way, "Love for your Brother, that which you love for yourself."

This blog is supposed to open up channels of communication, not close them down with mean spirited comments or close-minded opinions. The Hijab Question and Answer portion has been very successful and well received, Alhamdulilah (Praise be to God). I hope to continue and expand it in the future to a broader range of topics God willing.

Please be kind. This blog is currently open to be viewed and responded to by everyone. I originally didn't moderate comments, but was forced to begin doing so because of a few bad apples. :(

All kind comments, positive attitudes and honest questions are welcome. Mean spirited folks - please find another place to vent. You are in my prayers.

Peace and Love

Proud to wear Hijab - an Egyptian Pop Song Celebrates Women Embracing Hijab

The song's translation means : Congratulations to ladies wearing hijab. Truly this is the right and best thing for you. May God(swt) guide and be with you."

If you've ever wondered what hijab looks like in the eyes of Egyptian women, here is one snapshot. Hijab is a choice. Hijab is not imposed by men. Hijab is a beautiful expression of self esteem and devotion to God. :)

I love the scarves in this one...they are so pretty!

Dubai Fashion Week Begins

Calling all fashionistas!!! Dubai Fashion Week Starts TODAY!!!

This week we will be featuring designers participating in the event. *Please don't misunderstand and think that Im suggesting that these styles are representations of hijab.* This week is just about one word : PRETTY.

Today's designer is Amir Adnan. His choice of fabric and use of embroidery is timeless! Classy, regal and gorgeous. He designs fashions for both men and women. A great addition to Dubai's fashion extravaganza. His looks are great for weddings, wahlimas, henna parties - essentially ladies events. As pretty much all of the designers looks are in the show. But it would be nice to be all dressed up in one of these wouldn't it? :)
