About this Blog

Every since I started wearing hijab over 9 years ago, I’ve become very interested in the subject of Islamic fashion. (And by ‘Islamic fashion’ I mean clothing that is specifically designed with the Muslim woman in mind and other clothing that can be ‘Islamicized’). While I am no fashion expert, alhamdulillah, I frequently receive compliments on my clothing style from both Muslims and non-Muslims. (A co-worker told me I make her want to convert based on clothing alone, mashallah)!

Lately, this blog has consisted of me posting sets I’ve designed using Polyvore. (I am not sure what direction I will move toward in the future but I’d really like to do more vlogs- video blogs- for this site. What do you think?)

I am not an Islamic scholar and would never proclaim to be one. I’m not issuing any fatwas about whether a Muslim woman should cover her face or if she is required to wear hijab. I’m also not issuing fatwas about appropriate colors, whether a woman can wear pants or entering into debates about what qualifies as modesty.

Since I’m a very straight-forward person I will tell you where I personally stand so don’t have to wonder. I wear hijab everyday because I believe it is a commandment from Allah. I consider “hijab” to be modest clothing along with the head scarf. (I also think hijab is in behavior too but that’s another subject). While I do wear abayas and jilbabs, I don’t believe they’re the only acceptable form of dress for the Muslim woman. I also wear long skirts with long-sleeved shirts. Sometimes I wear pants with a shirt that hits mid-thigh or comes to my knees. I wear many different colors so won’t see me posting only black or earth-toned clothing. As you can see from the picture posted above, I don’t wear niqab (the veil over the face).

The aforementioned views may change or may stay the same, truly Allah knows best
