This is not my saying, it has been copied from one of those chain e-mails lolzzzz tru say i aint lying
It has been my personal observation that some Muslim girls and women do not realise the significance of hijab. Hijab is Arabic for protection and cover. Some people put a lot of effort into their hijab, yet it serves no purpose. I am referring to the pointless hijab that some girls wear.
The first pointless hijab is referred to as the headband hijab. It is a band of fabric approximately 4 inches wide. It covers the back of the head and allows all the hair to be exposed. It doesn't serve much in terms of modesty, but at least it comes in handy in case of an unexpected tennis match!
The second pointless hijab is the dupatta, also known as the Saran wrap hijab. It covers all the hair, but it is totally transparent. Again it doesn't serve much in terms of modesty, but it keeps the hair nice and fresh!
The third type of hijab is known as the Micky Mouse Hijab. It is when a girl wears a black scarf and tucks it behind her ear, so that her ears stick out!
We now move on to my favourites - the yo-yo hijabs:
The first yo-yo hijab is the scarf that keeps falling down and needs to be constantly pulled back up.... up, down, up, down, just like a yo-yo!
The second yo-yo hijab is also referred to as the convertibe hijab. This type of hijab is predominant at any type of social event, i.e. an Aqeeqah, Bismillah party, Ameen party, wedding, etc. This is when an Imam or Qari comes up to the microphone and starts to recite Qur'an. At this point, all the convertible hijabs come up... until he says "SadaqAllahu Atheem." I'm not sure, but apparently in some cultures that translates to "OK sisters, you may take off your scarves."
I'm sure this may seem odd, but what's even funnier is when people do not anticipate the recitation of Qur'an at a social event, and are forced to be creative and use accessories such as a purse to cover one's hair. I was surprized to see a woman hold her purse over her head as "hijab"... as if the multitudes of men surrounding her are not a good enough reason to wear hijab, but some guy reciting du'a compels her to hold a purse over her head. Her friends were more creative... one friend used her dinner napkin. I was also laughing when i saw the communal hijab- two or more girls dropped under one dinner napkin during the recitation of Qur'an. Her other friend was still more creative. She used her coffee saucer on the back of her head. I wasn't sure of it was hijab or Yamaka. I didn't know if she was a Muslim or a Jew. I felt like going up to her and saying "Shalom alaikum, sister."
And, people should remember that hijab is not just a protection from guys, but from a girls' nafs (ego) as well. It should prevent girls from having to spend hours in front of the mirror doing her hair. But, unfortunately, you see girls in front of the mirror for hours doing their hijab as they would do their hair, with all sorts of elaborate braids and the like. I wanted to go up to a sister and say "Is your hijab naturally curly?" I also felt compelled to go up to another girl and say "Pardon me, but is your hijab naturally that colour, or did you dye it"?
Well the point is that some people make an effort to wear hijab, but it is futile, because it is not fulfilling its purpose. It's like using an umbrella with holes in it. Hijab is used for protection from guys as well as from the girl herself, and should not be used as an accessory or for beautifying one's self.
who agrees?
"None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself."
it was very funny mashallah but under the humour it has a serious message!
hijab isnt a partime thing, its like 'just because im going somewhere islamic i better whip out my hijab so that i fit in'......
its totally not like that, its a part of you, its like going out without your shoes!!
i love my hijab! Threads like this open up the ture nature of the hijab. ''A MODEST COVERING'' , but this thread is true, and it IS, unfortunatly what happens. Somebody posted a thread 'hijab and handbags'? and subhanallah its ture but so sad because some hijabeez have lost the true meaning of hijab.
it lies somewhere under the make-up, the bags, and the fashion accessories.....
it makes me feel so sad becuase they are two things in the whole world that dont fit hand in glove......
allah knows best

gotta be the best one lol
"None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself."
Totally agree with you - it is humerous yet seriously true - something has to be done about this as it all stems from a severe lack of ilm.
This list of 'hijabs' was given to us by our teacher during our tafseer class and we all laughed at it and then made serious dua for their guidance and for increase in our ability to increase awareness of importance of hijab.
It has been my personal observation that some Muslim girls
and women do not realize the significance of hijab. :confused:
Hijab is arabic for protection and cover. Some people put a lot effort into their
hijab, yet it serves no purpose. I am referring to the pointless hijab that some girls wear:

hijab. It is a band of fabric approximately 4 inches wide. It covers the
back of the head and allows all the hair to be exposed. It doesn't serve

It is when a girl wears a black scarf and tucks it behind her ear, so

We now move to my favorites:
The yo-yo hijabs. The first yo-yo hijab, also known as the Benazir Bhutto hijab, is the scarf that keeps falling down and needs to be
constantly pulled back up....up, down, up, down, just like a yo-yo.
The second yo-yo hijab is also referred to as the convertible hijab. This type of hijab is predominant at any type of social event, i.e. an Aqeeqah, Bismillah party, Ameen party, wedding, etc.
This is when an Imam or Qari comes up to the microphone and starts to recite Qur'an.
At this point, all the convertible hijabs come up...until he says
"Sadaqallahul atheem". I'm not sure, but apparently in some cultures that
translates to "ok sisters, you may now take off your scarves".
I'm sure this may seem odd, but what's even funnier is when
people do not anticipate the recitation of Qur'an at a social event, and are
forced to be creative and use accessories such as a purse to cover one's
hair. I was surprised to see a women hold her purse over her head as
"hijab"..as if the multitudes of men surrounding her are not a good
enough
reason to wear hijab, but some guy reciting du'a compels her to hold a
purse over her head. Her friends were more creative...one friend used her
dinner napkin. I was also laughing when I saw the communal hijab -- two or
more girls draped under one dinner napkin during the recitation of Qur'ann.
Her other friend was still more creative. She used her coffee saucer on
the back of her head. I wasn't sure if it was hijab or a Yarmulka.
I didn't know if she was a Muslim or a Jew.
And, people should remember that hijab is not just a
protection from guys, but from a girl's nafs (ego) as well. It should

Anyway, that's it. If anyone disagrees with me or is
offended, then you are disagreeing with the teachings of Allah subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
walaikum salaam...assalamu alaikum
funny isnt it.....dunno why some people dont understand these days the value of covering our sater(mandatory parts needed to be covered in Islam)....
i guess the sad thing is that is is so true.. but just to disagree on one point, a sister is allowed to look 'nice' even if she wears hijab? true? please let me know if i am mistaken

I don't have a clue why women are so obsessed about their appearance. Most men couldn't really give a rodent's bottom
