A salient point, but it’s my understanding that the purpose of wearing hijab (for Muslims, at least) is to show that you have modesty, not that you have the world’s largest collection of sparkly scarves (though I’m sure that’s an achievement in its own right).
Also, it’s my understanding that the Muslim God is less of a “HIM” and more of an “IT”.
An unintelligible, untranslated cartoon?
It all depends on the definition of “a true muslim”, which varies from person to person based on his/her personal beliefs; even something as subjective as the concept of “modesty” could be more easily defined.
Assuming a colourful hijab is merely a fashion choice, and not a moral transgression, I really don’t see where forgiveness enters into the equation.
Again, not being a hijabi or a religious authority, I can no more decide what constitutes “right [or] wrong hijab” than what constitutes “a true muslim” (it’s not my area of expertise and I don’t pretend otherwise). That said, I try maintain and certain degree of respect and tolerance for the religious beliefs of others, so when I’m told not to do something -like wear dramatic make-up, bright colors or (in this case) gaudy, ostentatious accessories if attending a maajlis on the holiest days of the most somber month of the Muslim year, for example- I try to adhere to the rules and not flout them, if only out of consideration for others. I didn’t deem the scarves you depicted as the “right [or] wrong hijab”, merely that they seemed (IMHO) to straddle the line between modesty and ostentation better than some other, more bewildering hijab choices I’d seen (black, and yet sequined, and on the holiest day on the Shiite calender no less).
I thought I was sticking to the topic and commenting “on the hijab pics above”; the topic is the Metallic scarves that you posted, and while I agreed that the scarves themselves might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I noted that they seemed like excellent options for, say, hijabis attending celebrations, and that I especially liked the first and last scarves shown. I apologize if that struck you as being off-topic.
As I don’t wear hijab (metallic or otherwise), I have none, but do a post about wearing hijab with tiaras and I promise I will find you some.
