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 - Exploring Muslim Common Attire

By Regina Cheung


As more and more Muslim female are beginning to understand the importance of putting on hijabs, they are coming up with ways of making their selves look distinguished and graceful with their headgear.

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

In the Qur'an the hijab is not referred to as an article of islamic attire for lady or men, rather as a spiritual curtain delivering it's wearer with privacy. The Qur'an instructs male Muslims to talk 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.

Female are expected to wear jilbabs (cloaks) in public to prevent them from harm. Muslim women are required to wear the hijab in front of any man whom they could theoretically marry. Thereby it does not have to be worn in front of fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles or young children. It's as well not compulsory to wear the clothes in front of another Muslim women.

Islamic modesty is interpreted uniquely by each practicing individual depending on their specific beliefs. Some women wear full form outfit departing only their eyes visible; while others only feel it necessary to cover their hair and cleavage.

The rules of concealment are often relaxed for elderly women. It's commonly viewed that they are past the prospect of marriage and so may lay aside their outer dress. However, they still must not make a wanton display of their attractiveness.
