The most sought after attire by Muslim women is the women's Hijab. Most Islamic scholars agree that the wearing of hijabs (hijabs mean protection in Arabic and means a curtain) is one of the obligations for a Muslim woman. It is also considered to be an important religious duty to a Muslim woman. However, some women prefer to wear their hijabs over the head scarf or turban and would thus choose a more elegant style or design of the hijabs. In fact, there is a wide variety of hijabs available in the market and choosing them could be confusing for an ordinary consumer.
A number of styles are the most popular when it comes to hijabs. However, there are still other styles and designs that women find fascinating. Some of the most popular styles are explained below. These include:
The first is the traditional black hijabs. Wearing a traditional black hijabs has been a tradition for many generations. It has a long history and is considered to be very auspicious in the eyes of Islam. The traditional black color of the hijabs is a depiction of God's intelligence as well as the veil concealing the face of the "woman." It is a very traditional form of Muslim clothing which enjoys great popularity among women. It can be worn for various occasions such as weddings, funerals, Eidul Fitr, New Year's Eve, and many more.
The second is the silk or satin Kimono Modelleri. Although considered outdated by some, this type of women's garment remains popular with many women. Silk or satin hijabs have always exuded sophistication and are considered to be a great choice for those who want to be stylish yet conservative at the same time.
Third is the wool or jute hijabs. These types of garments are also popular especially during the Hajj and the period leading up to the Eid. Although considered outdated now, they were a very important component of traditional Muslim clothing during the times of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). They could not be worn during ordinary daily activities and were more used during special events such as the Hajj and Eid. They were also said to keep the wearer safe from the heat of the sun.
Fourth is the abaya or traditional long dress. The bay was traditionally only worn by Muslim women during the early days of Islam. But today this outfit is worn by women of all cultures and has evolved into various styles including the Mexican camisole, Mexican top, Japanese kimono, and the Thai silk blouse.
Fifth is the jemma. The jemma is a long, loose tunic commonly worn by Muslim women. It is known by different names such as the sleeveless kameez, the long jemma, or simply the tunic. It is sleeveless and usually has a triangular flap on its shoulder. The lemma is quite stylish and comes in various styles.
Lastly is the hajjab. The hijab is an abaya or robe traditionally worn by Muslim women before their weddings. It can come in several different styles; the plain one is the most traditional and goes with any color or length. The longer version is called a niqab, which literally means "a covering for the face." However, there are many differences between the hijab styles and it is up to the wearer to decide which is suitable for her.
The fifth style is what is most commonly referred to as a burka. The burka is actually a loose fitting dress or outfit. Burka's don't cover the whole face like the kameez or niqab, but they do have triangle style locks that are secured with a head scarf.
While all five of these women's hijabs are important to Muslim women's routine, some may prefer one over another. The choice is really a matter of personal preference. Each has positives and negatives, depending on what is most comfortable to you. Just make sure to choose the one that you are most comfortable with before purchasing it.
As was mentioned earlier, being able to wear your traditional Islamic clothing freely is a great benefit of wearing the women's hijab. Even though the main purpose of the hijab is to cover your head, it also allows you to wear items of clothing that you would not normally be able to wear. The benefits of the women's hijab are numerous and varied. If you have been forced to wear a scarf, now is a good time to change your mind and put on your own Islamic head scarf.
