Hijab

The hijab is a much discussed topic in today's times in all parts of the world. Most discuss whether hijab is 'freedom or suppression.' Hijab basically means a partition. It is commonly used to refer to the head scarf but it actually means paritition that is complete covering of a person so as to form a partition.
Hijab in the fashion world has gone a long way from what it was. People want more flexible and easy to wear hijabs that they can use at work, at home and at special occasions of functions. There are many different types of hijabs.
The most common type of hijab is the oblong, rectangular or long hijab. This hijab basically is a long scarf. Long hijabs come in various designs and colours depending mainly on the geographical are and the taste in colour and material in that geographical area as well as the weather in that particular geographical area. A good example would be long hijabs in East Africa are made mainly of cotton or starched cotton due to the hot weather whereas long hijabs in Eastern Europe are made of wool or thick polyester.
Another common type of hijab is the square or triangular hijab. This is probably the most common type of hijab available. Countries like Turkey and South Africa are filled with square hijabs. These hijabs are made mainly of poly cotton or georgette. Square hijabs are also called triangular hijabs as these hijabs are normally folded across to form a triangle before they are worn. square hijabs are very common in printed format where there is some sort of block printing or machine printing done on the hijab.
The Kuwaiti hijab is another upcoming hijab. The Kuwaiti hijab is also called the wrap around hijab, the mona hijab or the Kuwaiti wrap. The Kuwaiti hijab is basically a one piece hijab which is made in the form of a tube linked to a rectangular hijab from the neck. This way the first portion of the Kuwaiti hijab is pulled over the head after which the second portion (long hijab) is wrapped round the head for a tight fit or to create an innovative style with the hijab.
The one piece hijab is also exceptionally popular. The one piece hijab is also known as Al amira hijab or amira hijab, a name it received after one of its first manufacturers. The Amira hijab is basically a cloth stitched all the way round to form a tube like structure. The Amira hijab is basically pulled over the head and the hair tucked in. The Amira hijab has the front stretched so as to cover the upper face properly as well as to cover all the hair.
Another upcoming hijab is the two piece hijab. The two piece hijab is also known as the two piece Al amira two piece hijab or Amira two piece. The two piece hijab is basically a one piece hijab with a pull over bonnet cap. The only difference is that the front potion of the main portion does not stretch out to the front as the second piece covers that with a pull over bonnet cap which is like a small tube or a wide head band. The advantage of a two piece hijab over its one piece counterpart is that it has a tighter fit and does not move out of place due to a lot of physical movement which is common in some types of hijab depending on the way its worn.
Another hijab type which is worth mentioning is the Igal hijab. The igal hijab is basically a long hijab with a pair of strands which is attached two thirds of the length down. The igal hijab is a very stylish hijab, the strands are tied at the back of the head and the longer end is wrapped around the head which can be done in various styles as the strands are holding the hijab down.
There are many other hijab styles and types of hijabs but this should give you a fair idea of what the hijab is about. This article has been written for the general knowledge of the public on the hijab.

Hajj Products

Allah (SWT) has made Hajj (pilgrimage) to His Sacred House obligatory on His slaves as a prompt obligation on whoever can afford it and is preferable to perform it often. Allah (S.W.T) has prescribed Hajj as one of the articles of Faith in Islam. One should expedite the performance of Hajj when due and he has not yet performed it. The pilgrim should seek pardon for one’s sins and wrong doings. The earning for Hajj must be lawful. The objective Hajj is to seek the divine pleasure.Hajj products are an integral part of doing Hajj. All Muslims shop around for Hajj products before embarking on this sacred journey of Hajj. Most Hajj products have to be bought from the country of departure and some can be purchased in Makkah during or just before Hajj.There are several Hajj products available in today’s world. Some are essential and some are optional. The Ihram for example is an essential. It Ehram cloth is basically two pieces of white cloth that the men have to wear to cover themselves. The Ihram has to be unstitched. For women modest dressing is required but there is no specific kind of clothing that they must wear although there are women’s Ihrams available. The Ihram is of two types for the men. The first one is made into plain cotton cloth and second is made of towel cotton cloth. Both Ihrams are unstitched and both Ehrams are white in colour. There is a ladies ‘Ehram’ available which is basically a large ready made hijab that is worn over the head and upper body and stretches down below the waist. It is quite useful and covers a woman properly.Another Hajj product that is not essential but useful is the Hajj belt or Hajj bag. The Hajj belt is basically a wide enough belt that goes round the waist and has pockets on the front or sides. The Hajj bag is like a travel pouch and has pockets on the front. There is also a special Hajj bag for women which is hung round the neck and tied around the back. This is very useful especially for keeping money and important documents during travel.Day by day there are more and more Hajj products being designed and manufactured for the convenience of the Hajj pilgrims and we hope this trend continues.
