hello, hijabi ummah!

i’ve got big dreams for us!

it all started with my husband.

after our travels in jordan, malaysia, turkey and egypt

he remarked that you could often tell where a muslim woman was from

by the style of her hijab.

“what do you think about creating a calendar of hijab around the world,” he said.

“mmm…sounds cool”, i said unenthusiastically.

i was probably thinking about the dishes, or laundry, or homework, or sleep, or…

well, here i am, back to that basic idea: hijab around the world.

it’s become such an big deal in the west

– france, the UK, the US –

that i thought it would be better to embrace it

as a community, or ummah, but

from an islamic point of view.

so, here i am requesting your assistance,

my fellow hijabi sisters.

submit your opinions, photos and places to get those fabulous hijabs.

by the way:

the calendar will come in 2009, inshaAllah.

the submission guidelines will be posted soon, inshaAllah.
