So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

History of the Hijab - Discovering Muslim Common Attire

By Abraham Kone


According to Islamic scholarship it has a bigger explanation of modesty, privacy and morality. It means curtain in Arabic and a meta-physical description of 'al-hijab' is a veil which separates man or the world from God. Jilbabs have been a prominent a part of Islamic tradition since the 1970s. Opinions as to how the apparel have to be worn vary from person to person within the Muslim faith.

The significance of jilbabs in Islam is very important to understand for the Muslims as well as non Muslims. This Arabic origin word can be literally translated into the word veil or cover. As Arabic is the language, in which all revelations regarding the religion Islam were imparted to the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H), it's thus used quite frequently throughout the Quran in lieu of modest and decent clothing that should be worn by all Muslims.

In the Qur'an the hijab is not referred to as an article of islamic attire for woman or men, rather as a spiritual curtain delivering it's wearer with privacy. The Qur'an instructs male Muslims to speak to the wives of Muhammed only behind a hijab. The issue of modesty within the Qur'an applies to men and women's gazes, gaits, apparel and genitalia.

Girl are expected to wear jilbabs (cloaks) in public to prevent them from harm. Muslim woman are required to wear the hijab in front of any man whom they could theoretically marry. Thus it does not have to be worn in front of fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children. It's too not compulsory to wear the apparel in front of one other Muslim female.

Islamic modesty is interpreted uniquely by every practicing individual depending on their specific beliefs. Certain girl wear full form dress leaving only their eyes visible; whilst others just might seem it necessary to cover their hair and cleavage.

The rules of concealment are often relaxed for elderly woman. It's usually viewed that they are past the prospect of marriage and therefore can lay aside their outer garments. Though, they still must not make a wanton display of their wonder.
