What i mean is...especially in the Arab Muslim culture, you find many women on T.V. with beautiful colorful headscarved, and lots of makeup. And...you find them accusing the girl who is modest, apart from the little pony tail she pulls at the top. But they don't look at themselves ...... like doesn't Hijab mean, to hide your beauty?

And, some say to wear Hijab it doesn't mean you look ugly, look modest and elegant. Now thats a really good point. And i agree. But you see them wearing colourful headscarves I still think it seeks attention. Like, what is the difference between Beauty and Elegancy?
Nazia ;)) sorry for calling you Nadia by the way x
Ranoush, i don't know...something about coloured Hijabs i don't get the hang of. Like yea, you can look good with dark clothes too can't you?
juvegirl i hope you didn't mean...in Britain lol
juvegirl mmm yea good point. I live in a mostly white-area though :(
 
yeah they might aswell not wear it
their faces are caked with makeup and they look like dolls
if you're gonna wear hijab, then you might as well wear it properly or just take it off

edit: lool no problem =)
 
I think the bigger problem is pointing a finger. These girls are not wearing proper hijab and they condemn their sister who has a similar or lesser transgression.

I would agree with anyone who says a hijab, even improperly worn, is better than no hijab; however, the asker isn't wrong to say it impacts the way people see it. Of course the girls wearing trashy clothes and caked on makeup with a flashy hijab look ridiculous, but mocking them, etc., won't improve matters.

I like coloured and colourful hijabs myself, and I don't think they look immodest, but with the heavy heavy makeup, it does make you wonder why they bother.

Gentle encouragement and proper observance of hijab by others might do wonders for those going astray. Maybe posters could be put up at local mosques, Islamic stores, etc., encouraging proper hijab. Is that allowed?

EDIT: why not in Britian? (honestly, I don't understand) I don't mean on the streetcorners, I mean in Islamic shops. We have them here in Canada... ?? Maybe I'm missing something.
 
what is your problem with colored headscarfs anyway?!!!

lost of makeup,i agree it's not a proper thing but what's the problem with colored headscarfes,doesn't the hijabi have the right to look good aswell??
