Young Muslim girls when they start thinking about hijab, a headscarf comes as the first piece of accessory they resort to. Though there are other forms of hijab in terms of attires practiced by women all over the world emoting various cultural expressions, the headscarf popularly also known as ‘hijab’ forms the basics of modest dressing. Let’s try and understand the term hijab which is rooted in Arabic. Though there is no direct translation which could affix meaning to the term ‘hijab’, in a nutshell it could be understood to mean ‘a separation’ or ‘barrier’. As per Islamic philosophy Hjiab does not merely includes the practice of modesty in clothes but extends to modesty of character, physical well-being and conduct. It might be an eye-opener to many but Hijab also extends to men i.e. it’s mandated for both the sexes to cover their hair. The popular verse from the Qur’an asks the believing men ‘to lower their gaze and guard their modesty’ even before it asks for women to do the same.

Young women who are increasingly taking to headscarf are also found to have amped their expression of faith by assimilating the elements of contemporary fashion and comfort. So on one hand you might have a covered girl in a Hijab and on the other hand she covers it up with a modest twist to the folds and frills giving herself a modest appeal to be more presentable. Women scarf also come customized for adequate length to give modest coverage on both front and back. They come in different fabrics and in vivid colors much to the liking of the young girls. With many sequined motifs and embroidery to eclectic prints, patches and designs, these scarves are sure to charm her with ‘inspiring ctreativity’.

Talk to a hijabi about her Hijab and she’ll be quick to tell you about her style of doing the hijab, of whether it’s ruffled hijab or a pinup hijab, or a hijab in the form of a hoodie, aka hoojab, dual toned or dual textured, there seem to be endless possibilities with different mix-matches. And these Hijabis aren’t complaining.
