noreply@blogger.com (Umm Hasan) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

As Salaamu Alaykum & Hello!

I think you lovely peeps already know that we stock gloves, but I really wanted to share with you the lovely variety we offer. So with out much of a ta-do.. lets be honest there is not much to say, except they are a hijab basic these are all very easy to wear without going saggy around the fingers and do not role down the arm easily.

Hajj Basics

noreply@blogger.com (Umm Hasan) — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:38:00 +0000

The ritual of Hajj is performed in the month of ZulHijjah, the twelfth and last month in the Islamic lunar calendar. In Arabic, the word hajj literally means going to a place for the sake of visiting; and according to the terminology of the Islamic Sharee'ah, it implies to the act of going to the Baitullah in Mecca to observe the necessary devotions related to pilgrimage. The hajj is mandatory upon all able Muslims, men and women, at least once in a lifetime.

Apart from worship of Allah (SWT), the command for hajj offers Muslims the opportunity to interact with their brethren from around the globe. The command concerning the hajj is found in several Qur'anic verses, among them:

"And when We assigned to Ibraheem the site of the Sacred House (Ka'bah), saying 'Do not associate with Me anything, and purify My House for those who circumambulate the Ka'bah, and those who stand up and prostrate and bow in prayer. And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men, and they will come to you on foot and mounted on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways." [Surah Al-Hajj: Verse 26-27].

The verse above confirms that Prophet Ibraheem (a.s.) worshipped at the Sacred House of Allah SWT (Baitullah - another name of Ka'bah) long before the advent of Judaism or Christianity.

For that matter, some Bibilical historians say that he lived in the first half of the second millennium B.C, that is prior to the establishment of the Indus civilizations of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro; hence, prior to the birth of Hinduism. By virtue of it being the fifth pillar of Islam, the hajj literally makes Islam the oldest religion on earth.The hajj today is the largest gathering of human beings on earth.

Besides this annual ritual, there is a lesser hajj known as Umrah that can be performed at any time during the year except on the days of the greater hajj, specifically from 9th till 13th of ZulHijjah.

On the benefit of hajj, Abu Hurairah (r.a.) narrates that he heard the Prophet SAW say:

"Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit any Rafath (obscenity) or Fusooq (transgression), he returns (free from sin) as the day his mother bore him." [Bukhari]

There are three categories of hajj: Tamattu', Qiraan and Ifraad. In brief,

Tamattu' refers to the act of performing umrah in the month of hajj.
Qiraan, on the other hand, refers to a pilgrim who performs hajj and umrah jointly;
Ifraad means that a pilgrim wears the ihraam for hajj only and he/she performs his umrah only after completing the greater hajj.

The most beautiful aspect of hajj is the uniformity. All the pilgrims have to do exactly the same acts at the same sites around Mecca on four days consecutively. All wear the ihraam garb, a great majority of which is white in color.

Once the ihraam is donned and the intention for hajj uttered, male pilgrims are prohibited from wearing stitched clothes, shoes that cover the anklebone, a hat or turban or anything that covers the head. Women are prohibited from wearing the veil that covers their faces (burqaa) and also gloves.

Both men and women are prohibited from wearing any kind of perfume or hair oil, cropping or shaving hair on any part of the body, cut the nails, have sexual intercourse, hunt and kill animals, or to be involved in any form of marriage proposal.

Niqab Suitable For Hajj?

noreply@blogger.com (Umm Hasan) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 22:39:00 +0000

As Salaamu Alaykum & Hello!

We have had this Niqab in the Store for a little while, and I wondering whether to share this or not; as there is allot of debate over whether you should wear Niqab to Hajj at all.

From what i gather after reading Fatwa by Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen a Niqab in traditional form is not allowed, but rather to cover the face with some sort of cover/curtain....

hence this type of Niqab has come about which is more like a curtain effect and does not touch the face. It consists of two veils sewn onto a black cap with a visor, so the veils hang away from the face, while still giving privacy. For extra security head ties are also included.

Hajj Niqab

Half Niqabs

noreply@blogger.com (Umm Hasan) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 22:06:00 +0000

As Salaamu Alaykum & Hello!

I know we tend to talk mostly about our 3 Layer Niqabs on this blog. So I thought it would be nice to showcase some of our Half Niqabs. When i first started wearing Niqab i found them to be invaluable, as they were easy to wear and very breathable, which is something that i was concerned about when starting to wear Niqab. We have listed a few types of Half Niqab as every Sister has her own needs and preferences.

1 Layer Niqabs

noreply@blogger.com (Umm Hasan) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 21:46:00 +0000

As Salaamu Alaykum & Hello!

We added some very nice 1 Layer Niqabs, they are tie back so fit any size head, have a nose string so don't gape around the eyes, for extra coverage the have eye mesh which very easy to remove if it is not suitable. I found when i had young children these were a fantastic length, they covered enough but did not interfere with the likes of carrying a child or pushing a pram etc.

You can find these Niqabs Here

Bismillaah, wal-hamdulilaah, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'alaa rasoolillaah,As Salaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuh

"Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official decision and announcement of the High Judiciary Council (HJC) of Saudi Arabia that since the moon of Ramadhaan was not sighted this evening, here in Saudi Arabia, we shall be completing thirty (30) days of Sha'baan (1432 A.H.), in accordance with the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam):

((Fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you, then complete thirty days of Sha'baan. And break your fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days)), [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim].

Therefore, many of us will be starting our taraawee prayers Sunday evening, July 31st, in preparation for the first fast of Ramadhaan on Monday, August 1st, Insha Allaah.

Alhamdulillah, that we Muslims have lived to see another Ramadhaan!
