Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
They're pretty.. but just a suggestion-- perhaps you should go with something a little more modest for EID? I'm no stickler for dress.. but it's an Islamic holiday and I think we all need to reflect that first and foremost.
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
why are you going with sleeveless?
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
why not?
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
cuz your body is not for others viewing pleasure.
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
oh come on lady, no one dresses in sleeveless to give others pleasure... its done cos you like the way it looks. if she's comfortable and confident enough to wear sleeveless, so be it. personally, i find sleeveless suits me better than short sleeves, so thats what i wear :)

once in my painting class, fellow female artist painted a girl, trapped in some red box/room. when my teacher asked a guy to critique the painting he said all i see is red light area theme, which was not even near to the actual theme.
moral of the story...if u really wana know the real picture, ask ur opposite sex.
ALHUMDULLAH i am straight so i wont gonna gain any pleasure....but it is always a good idea to provide comfort to others vision as well.

For EID? Islam states that we should not make ourselves beautiful for men who are not related to us. I don't understand this thread. If you're going to celebrate an ISLAMIC holiday, let's stick to Islam please.

is ur deen n dunia seperate from each other?
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
EID is a blessing, it is a gift from our Creator, and we should cherish it as such. Its our reward for the month of us sacrificing that which is generally halal... eating is natural, but we give it up for a part of day ONlY and ONLY because our creator says so, and because it pleases Him... no one would know if we ate in private but we abstain from it ONLY to please our Lord.
Ramadan is also a month to improve ourselves as Muslims (those who have "fast" tongues control it, those who are slack about Salat offer it, etc)
Having said that it does seem a bit strange that we'd spent an entire month trying to please out Lord, only to disobey Him on the day that He prescibed as our celebration, our gift, our reward.
The clothing posted above is fine (i.e. halal) for us Muslimas to wear as long as we only wear it infront of our Mahrams, or in segregated parties. We should beautify ourselves particularly on this day, and preparing for it to please Allah will have it's rewards too, as Allah has said that "He likes beauty" (paraphrasing). But there is no allowance for beautifying ourselves infront of those God Himself has forbidden.
May Allah guide us all, accept our fasts, and make us steadfast on our deen, Ameen.
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
pinks where have you been girly??
Seen you after ages :( Hows stuff and the wedding prep coming along??
hey i really like the 2nd its so simple i like how the neck designs but not to keen on the slit throgh the middle.
id match the peachy kameez with a dark royal elegant blue as it will stand i like matching as it is my own unique design and most of all no one has the same as me..
but also remember to theme the colours with the weather it also helps..
Re: ideas for Eid....help wanted!
oh c'mon guyz iz that a religion forum,..itz a fashion forum for god sake..n shes juz takin suggestions..besides itz her choice..she can wear wht she wants..personally i dun think therez somethin wrong wid wearin sleeveless az long az it suits u..nywayz salz i like da last one..maroon dress
Thanks Panthr3ss…& aish89
I personally like the last one (in maroon) too, but not sure if it would look too formalish… but since there will be quite a lot of people that either we will be visiting or them coming over…dunno!
But now after reading Zobia and MatineeSirens comments I am thinking that this one would be better…
It is a no pun intended statement and change of my mind …and I really respect what everybody has to offer as advice…
If you’re celebrating an Islamic holiday, you FOLLOW what Islam says and dressing in a specific manner is an Islamic OBLIGATION. It’s called integrity. If you’re going to call yourself a Muslim, freakin act like one.
And don’t be rude about your inability to see the difference between fawning over one’s pride and someone simply asking another to act like a Muslim when celebrating an Islamic holiday.
Don’t like Islam says about how to dress? Don’t celebrate EID, because you’re not a Muslim.
Simple.
AND if you’re THAT ignorant of what hijab means, then you have no right telling anyone what they should wear. You don’t need to wear a damn burka to follow Islam. Just don’t wear a plunging neckline , tight and short pants, and sleeveless gowns (like the pictures in this thread).
Come on, be an adult.
