Girls in hijab on the streets of Baku have become quite commonplace. At the time, as some people protest against this state of affairs, others come to Islam. Often a girl wanting to get covered faces misunderstanding of the relatives. Relatives and acquaintances of the female say to her, "Why do you do that, you're young, you'll look like an elderly woman." Is this true? And can there not be a combination of concepts such as Islam and fashion?
Clothing used by a Muslim should not be tight and transparent. However, is it the only way to achieve a nice appearance ? After all, a Muslim should not scare others and should be pleasant and tidy.
Girls in the former Soviet Union 10-15 years ago complained about the lack of adequate clothing, they sometimes had to buy loose clothing from stores for pregnant women. Contemporary women's clothing industry offers a variety of options to suit every taste and budget. Today in Baku there are special shops for Muslim women's clothing such as Terbir, Hicab, Mesume and others.
There are various brands of clothing, specializing in hijabs - Esharp, Nur, Armine, Ecenur, Zehre and others. The average price for a kerchief varies from 6 to 10 manat. Most interesting hijabs of silk fabric with an original design pattern can cost 40-70 manat and more. In addition, an assortment of these stores also includes ready scarf hijabs, consisting of one or two parts. Girls, who decided to wear the hijab, can find in many network diagrams and videos that clearly explain how and what to do.
Interestingly, even in social networks there are various groups that publish photos of stylish Islamic dress and sets, for example Shopaholic de Hijab, Global Hijab Trends, Hijab Europe and others (to find them is easy enough - you just have to enter the word " hijab " in the search bar). Fashionistas understand for themselves that the establishment of the Muslim clothes obeys the same laws of combinations of colors, shapes and patterns that are used when creating a secular set of clothes. Using the classic color combinations , such as , for example , gray or brown with pink , yellow with purple , you can create an interesting image . They know that if one item of clothing has a bright pattern, others need to be more restrained. For such cases, well suit both plain and printed scarves.
Like any other girl and woman, practicing Muslim women often buy clothes and hijabs online . Some items of clothing can be bought only in this way, for example, covered swimwear for girls, so-called burkini - are fully enclosed and sewn from a special fabric. Such clothing allows you to enjoy relaxing on the beach in the hot summer time, without violating the religious canons .
Abroad , namely in Turkey, Iran , Saudi Arabia, Kyrgyzstan , Chechnya , Tatarstan often there are Muslim fashion shows. Some Muslims consider such fashion shows, even going behind closed doors and only for women, reprehensible. However, designers creating collections for these shows argue that it can encourage Muslim women, especially young ones, to wear the hijab.
Wedding
Probably one of the most beautiful and exciting moments for every girl in her life is her wedding day. Is it possible to make a wedding dress matching canons of Shariah and at the same time retain its solemnity? A young Muslim practitioner Amina complains that it is impossible to find a wedding dress that fully complies with the canons of Islam in Baku. Faced with this problem, some girls buy dress from Turkey or have them sewn on their sketches at dressmakers'. Others resort to certain tricks offered by local vendors of wedding dresses. Under a normal dress they wear a white turtleneck, which can be decorated with beautiful lace or transparent fabric. Properly arranging the details , you can achieve the absolute unity of all components of the wedding dress. It becomes almost imperceptible that the dress consists of two parts.
Covered marrying girls do not make hairdressing. However, this does not mean that they do not attend women's salons. Demand creates supply, so now many salons offer the service so-called "stacking the hijab." Specially trained stylists beautifully pin the shawl of the bride, attaching a veil and various decorations to it. They offer brides ready options presented in albums and can also work on the basis of photographs or drawings proposed by the bride. Such pleasure is from AZN 80 and up, with the jewelry rented separately and the hijab not included in the price . Women involved in the decoration of the hijab can also visit the bride at her home. However, their services are not only for the bride, but also for girls preparing to go to any celebrations. In this case, the price starts from 30 manat.
Celebrities wearing the hijab
The wives of the former and current Presidents of Iran prefer not to appear in public. At the same time, the first lady of Turkey Hayrunnisa Gul, Recep Tayyip Erdogan's wife Emine Erdogan and other senior ladies of Turkey actively participate in the political life of the country. However, probably the most famous lady, which is often styled oriental beauty, is the second of the three wives of the former Emir of Qatar Sheikh Mozah Bint Nasser Al- Missned. Holding various public offices, such as the head of the Qatar Foundation for Education , Science and Community Development , the President of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs , Vice - President of the Supreme Council for Education , UNESCO Special Envoy , this woman is a style icon in the East. Looking at her, it's hard to imagine that this beautiful stylish lady is the mother of seven children! She is regularly ranked in the list of " most stylish celebrities ' in the magazine Vanity Fair.
Nigab
Let us approach the question of hijab on the other side of the most discussed topic. Nigab is female headdress that covers the face and leaves only a narrow slit for the eyes. As a rule, it is made of black cloth. Girls who wear the nigab, say they feel safe, because thanks to this garment no one sees them. However, the Belarusian correspondent for Internet Publishing Onliner.by, who dared to experiment and who put on the nigab for a day, said that she was having trouble breathing and eating. Islam does not oblige women to wear the nigab, nonetheless, this garment is a large number of disputes. Girls in hijab experience difficulties in finding work, and for girls in nigab it is even more difficult in such places as Azerbaijan, if not impossible. Reaction to the nigab from others can also be unpredictable. Therefore, before the girl, who decides to wear the nigab, a large number of difficulties and limitations emerges.
In conclusion, I would like to note that in Islam there is no uniformity in dealing with some issues, there are various opinions that relate to including women's clothing, what is permissible and what is not allowed in this matter. The most important thing for a Muslim woman is to be able to meet the requirements of religion, taking into account the rapidly evolving reality and not find herself left out of public life.
