Assalamualaikum....


Did you know that today is world hijab day? okay lets say congratulations to my sister all over the world who have wear the hijab...keep istikhomah dear :'). And may ALLAH guide others ( who wear hijab yet ) too to follow the path of deen. Aamiin. 
There are many kinds of muslim headscarves here's there are :

 
The word hijab comes from the Arabic for veil and is used to describe the headscarves worn by Muslim women. These scarves come in myriad styles and colours. The type most commonly worn in the West is a square scarf that covers the head and neck but leaves the face clear.
 
The niqab is a veil for the face that leaves the area around the eyes clear. However, it may be worn with a separate eye veil. It is worn with an accompanying headscarf.
 
The burka is the most concealing of all Islamic veils. It covers the entire face and body, leaving just a mesh screen to see through.
 
The al-amira is a two-piece veil. It consists of a close fitting cap, usually made from cotton or polyester, and an accompanying tube-like scarf. 
 
The shayla is a long, rectangular scarf popular in the Gulf region. It is wrapped around the head and tucked or pinned in place at the shoulders. 
 
The khimar is a long, cape-like veil that hangs down to just above the waist. It covers the hair, neck and shoulders completely, but leaves the face clear. 
 
The chador, worn by many Iranian women when outside the house, is a full-body cloak. It is often accompanied by a smaller headscarf underneath. 

To all muslimah be proud of your hijab, because Islam is our faith and hijab is our pride ! And please no more discrimination to woman who wear hijab.
Jazk Khair Khatsiran.
