Re: The "stylish" hijab
i've seen sooooo many examples where girls have hijabs bigger than the size of an elephant's bum plonked on their head
Isn't that..their hair?
Re: The "stylish" hijab
i was just discussing this issue with a friend the other day....there are two sisters who are in my social circle of aquaintaces, sweet as can be, and fun to be around, who do a very weird version of hijab...it's not even hijab...they both are 24/7 completely blinged out with Kardashian-esque jewelry, makeup and accessories..sometimes low necklines, skin tight clothes...YET, they both wear thin, black chiffon dupatta like scarves on their heads (by thin, I mean the width, barely half their heads are covered!) i don't get it...it's very odd. at a recent Girls Night Out, we were talking about religion, and one thing led to another and the topic of hijab and pardah came up. one of these sisters started talking about the importance of hijab, and someone pointed out that they are not exactly the poster children for modesty, and the reply back was "at least hum dono kam se kam itna tho kartehain" (i guess implying that at least they make an attempt with the thin black dupatta thing). Very odd, but I guess to each his own....
Re: The “stylish” hijab
Nah.. This is how they do it:

Re: The "stylish" hijab
I dont think there is anything wrong with it as long as the clothes are modest..they can bling out as much as they want.
Modesty and hijab start on the inside. Your intentions need to be right regardless of the hijab/no hijab/ghetto hijab on the outside.
Re: The "stylish" hijab
Exactly. Hijab starts in the heart.
Re: The "stylish" hijab
Hijabis or non Hijabis, trendwhores are never pleasing to the eye. They're annoying.
Being 'stylish' is a good thing, but being disgustingly trendy is ugly.
Hijabis, nowadays in particular are horribly trendy, and they all look the same. lol
Re: The “stylish” hijab
I would rather say that our intentions need to be right IN ADDITION to our outer hijab we wear. By calling the clothing/hijab ‘regardless’ we cannot deny what Islam has told us to do and tailor it accordingly if WE are not convinced about its importance for some reason ! iss tarah tau veena malik bhi keh sakti hai keh woh hijab karti hai 
(We are NO ONE to judge who’s right or wrong,neither are we answerable for others but we can atleast have sound concepts and ideas of our own about what we are told to do according to hadith,quran and sunnah.)
That's my point, their dressing style is not modest! Low necklines, sleeveless clothes at times, skin tight dresses...it doesn't add up with the ever-present-dupatta-on-the-head-thing
Re: The "stylish" hijab
@prototype - don't you sell clothes that are sleeveless, brightly coloured, blingy and that have low necklines? if you believe what you believe, then why sell stuff like that?
there are better things that us muslimah should be worried about than about how other muslimah wear their hijab and dress. Having good adab, ikhlas, and manners towards others also weighs very heavily as well.
Ok fine, you have an opinion. It's your right. But by bashing how they wear certain things, saying that it's out of Quran and Sunnah, and just judging them - what, do you think you're any better? probably not. No one is perfect.
Honestly, I didnt even want to commment on this thread because I knew it would get into girls judging other girls. This topic is old now and people will choose either way. bus. khallas. case closed.

Afshi, You dont need to get personal by mentioning what I make for others. I never said anything about you or anyone else here. We were talking about blingy hijabs,etc not the attire that is regular wear/worn beneath the abaya,etc anyway. I know this is a sensitive topic and I tried to make it pretty clear in all my posts in this thread how this is what "I" interpret from quran/hadith and I gave references why "I" think this way . I never bashed anyone for how they wear certain things or what they think about it and neither I think my posts sound like I think that I am better than others? I said "I agree with the old school thought" and my next post was answering muniya's 'kyun' to the above. I cannot help if you took it the other way and felt like I am judging people here when I clearly mentioned we are no one to judge others at all. To each their own !
With this, I am out of this thread. Thanks.
Re: The "stylish" hijab
proto - u never said about anything about anyone here. instead you talk about women that aren't here. do you think that's right? :P
i think we can agree to disagree. but don't bring the Quran, Sunnah and level of Iman into this.
I apologize if your feelings got hurt, and I pray Allah SWT leads us all into success. Ameen.
The hijab is a personal thing. It's a personal choice and a decision that one makes themselves in order to please Allah. And honestly, even the opinions of the girls here effect me. I wouldn't say hurt me, but disappoint me. It's a tough decision to wear the hijab and then have another fellow muslim saying what so and so is doing isn't right, well it's disappointing. they should be applauding that another woman is proud and showing to the world that she is a muslim woman.
Re: The "stylish" hijab
Proto and Afshi - you guys are both a wealth of knowledge.
I appreciate you sharing and supporting you're views....
Agreed that Hijab is a personal decision and should be to please Allah. Lets just leave it at giving each other space enough to discover for ourselves what hijab is. To always strive to get to the next level of closeness with out Maker. Ameen.
Re: The "stylish" hijab
again, @prototype, I aplogize. My comments were not directly entirely to you.
Re: The “stylish” hijab
no afshi .. I just clarified myself 
I know it is a hard decision and even hard to maintain hijab at times because being women we want to be admired and appreciated by our friends at times 
but yes, I did judge veena malik in my post 
Re: The "stylish" hijab
ahhhh much better.
:)
Veena malik - yah Allah madad

well hijab is not a personal thing or even a choice just like salah is not a personal thing. its clearly been ordered in quran. if islam was a "personal issue" there would have been no order for "amr bil maruf wa nihi anil munkir". we all need to correct ourselves as well as other muslims. it is our duty as muslims to practice and to preach. most ppl will point out to your mistakes while being in masjid. its just a part of learning and trying to be better muslims. its a western concept where everything becomes a personal matter. However those who feel superior to others or have pride in their hearts just coz they r practicing little better are not liked by Allah either.
i agree being a hijabi in this modern and glamorous world is not easy but its always good to self criticize ourselves and if someone is giving us a good tip then y not take it?

Re: The "stylish" hijab
What would you wear if you were in the presence of Prophet Mohammed or just ask yourself if he'd approve of what you wear. The answer would be simple and not debatable.
