</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Satan was created to tempt and mislead the Ummah of Muhammad (s.a.w.). It began the moment he (Satan) was expelled from Paradise. His unfinished duty is to mislead mankind right up to the Day of Judgement. In tempting mankind, Satan makes use of all kinds of approaches which he uses. By making use of human desire, which no doubt is inclined towards bad and evil conduct. Satan seems to know our inclinations and does his very best to make sure that mankind leaves the boundary that has been established by Allah, which includes the “hijab” or Muslim woman´s attire.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Allah has stated that women can attain entry easily into both heaven and hell. As a result of this, Satan enjoys tempting women. This is because women possess nine parts of desire and one part of intelligence. Beginning with the smallest of things to the biggest of sins, Satan undertakes to tempt them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It begins with the abandoning of the “hijab”. At this level, Satan whispers to women that whatever clothing, including the “hijab”, it has no relationship with religion, as it is only a matter of clothing or ornament to women. As such, there is no clothing according to Shari´ah in whatever forms except that it is clothing. Just how does Satan go about organizing his strategy to cause Muslim women to abandon their “hijab”?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first step is to expose their hands. As we all know that palms of the hands are already exposed, so Satan whispers to women that there is some form of improvement, meaning to open up the arm right to the elbow. “Ah, there is nothing wrong with that, after all you are still wearing the “jilbab” (garment covering the base of the neck) as well as wearing a gown?” Thus whispers Satan, and it is true that in the end women will end up wearing something new which exposes the arms. And it is also a fact that men look upon it as something normal. Thus Satan whispers, “I told you nothing would happen?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The second phase is to get the chest and neck exposed a little but how? It begins by wearing something fashionable and new, where a little of the neck and chest is exposed through the “V” neckline. The argument is that it provides some air circulation and does not cause one to feel hot. Satan says, “Try it! No one is going to bother, because only a small section does it.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What is even more interesting is the term “wearing clothes but still naked”. In an attempt to follow current trends the argument is to always look “cool”. Satan will provide ideas so that one will purchase cloth that is flimsy, and to make a tight fitting dress following the contours of the body, so that one looks more attractive and beautiful to the eyes. Thus do women become tempted to seek tight fitting flimsy clothing which is also transparent. “Most probably there will be no problem with it because the dress is still lengthy, the difference is only the fashion, and at least one looks feminine,” so goes the justification. In the end it becomes a trend amongst Muslim women, and with each passing day, the tighter and transparent the dress becomes, thus fulfilling the Prophet´s statement where he said, “Women with clothing are naked”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After that Satan tempts women to open up a part of their clothing, which is tight so more can be seen and to look even more “cool” and “vogue”. This is easily done by whispering in their hearts, “Wear such clothes makes it difficult to walk or sit, its too tight, however, if a slit is made from the foot to the knee, or near towards the thigh, it must surely be easy and nice.” The idea is made practical, and no doubt, through such an act it has made the garment more comfortable and spacious, especially when sitting or getting into a car. As if to say that there is nothing wrong in seeing a little, what is important is our happiness!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is how Satan desires to bring about nakedness in Muslim women. However, he is not content with that and prepares new strategies. The theory that is used is to “make every approach lawful”. If just now it was temptation to slit one´s clothing, now it is more advanced, to expose one´s self right up to the thigh. Satan is indeed pleased at the sight of such, when Muslim women follow him. This is further strengthened by the statement that such clothing is far more easily available in comparison to clothing that covers the whole body. As such, it becomes common to see part of a woman´s calf wherever you go.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One wonders whether a women reflects upon this? Does not such clothing lead to slander amongst the descendents of Adam? The response of Satan is, “Ah…that was ages ago, today, men like looking at women more exposed in their apparel.” Men in turn will only goggle at the sight and say, “ooh” or “wow”. Is this not the fashion of the night market or established shopping mall that promotes such clothing to women in accordance with the time.” Thus does such clothing become normal so much so that there is no one to question it anymore.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The final step before Satan celebrates his glorious success is to make the clothing of a Muslim woman into a mini. What this means is that everything become short, tight and in simple terms “cool, vogue, trendy, modern etc”. Once that form of clothing becomes a daily event and is considered normal, Satan will then whisper something else. “Apparel needs to possess variations, don´t only wear the same thing. Now it´s the mini-skirt, which also requires that the hair is exposed, so that it looks beautiful.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this way the mini skirt, where the thigh downwards can be seen, is worn with a variety of blouses, some of which expose the arms, expose the chest and the whole buttocks. Apparel collections come in all kind of trends, some are for festive occasions, social events, for work, official events etc, not overlooking very short trousers, colourful fashionable hairdos, they all have been tried. Such is the situation where something begins as being rather odd to be performed, but becomes acknowledged if it has been beautified by Satan, and which then becomes accepted by mankind.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the past there was this idea to swim in a swimming pool or at the seaside, where all women only cover two parts of their body, namely their busts and their private part. Everyone knows what a “bikini” is, thus fulfilling the goal mentioned earlier of witnessing “women in the state of nakedness”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Such is the fineness of approach applied by Satan, thus causing mankind to fall into his trap without them being conscious of it. Therefore it becomes the responsibility of all Muslims to develop firmness of Iman so as to be free from such temptations. Do not allow indefinitely such because if you do so and allow it to become normal, that which is serious will become difficult to overcome. To permit them to expose themselves in such a manner means to willingly allow them to incur the wrath of Allah. Pity them, save these Muslim women, do not ensnare them towards destruction which is full of torment, be it in this world or in the hereafter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My schedule for today is a bit tight so I want to re-publish an article which I found in YADIM's website. It's very good to broaden our view and understanding regarding the meaning of fashion in Islam. Let's have take a look.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Recently The STAR (Magazine section) published an article titled: <i>"Fashionable" dated 12 April, 2009. The contents of this article highlight several aspects of ignorance involving the Islamic perception of “fashion”.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Islam is a "Way of Life" and it is governed by Qur´anic injunctions which forms the framework and basis upon which life is established. Take for example the way women should dress. In Surah Nur verse 31 several aspects have been instituted by Allah. These include having an outer garment over an existing one, indicating loose clothing; clothing that does not reveal the contours of the body.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Though there are various interpretations to this verse, the Shafi´e School of Islamic Thought (Madhab) permits the face to be exposed, it being the highest state observed while performing prayer.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Other aspects of the verse refer to the lowering of one´s gaze and who one can mingle with. What is most significant here is that "they should not stamp their feet so as to reveal what is in their inner garments", a clear indication of loose clothing.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>On the basis of this verse we can say that that it establishes the framework on how Muslim women should dress. This basic outline establishes “Islamic Fashion”. As for women dressing in black or any specific colour, well, that is a matter of choice. There is no such thing that you must dress in black, a perception often projected and believed to be Islamic. However, the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) has said that a woman should not dress in a manner so as to attract attention to herself, which in brief could make her look like a whore.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<div style="color: red;"><i>Many Muslim women think that they are dressing in accordance with Islam when they wear the headscarf (or ‘tudung’) and cover themselves, but in truth they fail the test when they sport tight fitting clothing which details the outline of their bodies, a clear prohibition in Islam.</i></div><i><br />
</i><br />
<i>How the Pakees, Afghans or Malays dress culturally is something else. It may not necessarily comply with Islamic requirements completely. Often we also find a lot of cultural practices undertaken in the name of Islam to be downright unIslamic.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>As for the statement made by Marina Mahathir that “Dressing in Islamic fashion does not make you a better Muslim than the one who does not,” she is both right and wrong. She is right in one aspect because we do come across many Muslim women who do dress in accordance with Islamic rules but are not necessarily righteous Muslims. However, she is wrong because a woman needs to cover herself in accordance with Qur´anic requirements regardless of whether she is a righteous Muslim or not. There are Muslims who do not observe any other aspect of Islam but they still perform their prayers, so are we going to say that they are not good Muslims? Are we going to say that prayer is obligatory while dressing up in accordance with Islamic requirements is not? This is a distortion of Islam. <span style="color: red;">Many make the mistake of referring to Islam as a matter of the heart (internal) when in fact it is a combination of externalities and internalities.</span></i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Marina is also wrong when she questions the Qur’an when she says, “Whether the Qur’an gives us fashion guidelines? No, it just tells us to behave modestly. God is beyond fashion.”</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>If the verse quoted by me above is not related to fashion or the way a Muslim woman should dress then what is? Such remarks usually come from those who do not comply with the rules of covering their heads or dressing in accordance with Islam. These are “self justifications” and which can be quite misleading and a form of corruption against divine injunction.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">As Muslims, we should try to understand the wisdom behind every command from Allah and if we are unable to abide by it, then we should at least turn to Him for forgiveness and seek strength in Him so that we may be able to become better Muslims.</span> This is what Islam is all about – the surrendering of one’s self to Allah.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<div style="color: red;"><i>Muslims should also be weary of the media because it is their goal to breed dissent amongst Muslims; to distort things and they succeed in doing so by making use of Muslims themselves. So one has to be weary of the press.</i></div></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've highlighted a few important points in the article which I think we should give more attention and thought. Whenever we read or heard something that might distort our believe in the Islamic teaching, please read carefully, try to make more research about it, ponder upon the matter, make conclusion and reflect than make improvement.</div>chikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12008539906346405367noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962072822678963823.post-84253533513392035442011-03-06T11:14:00.000+08:002011-03-06T11:14:22.496+08:00Thinking of Migrating<div style="text-align: justify;">Assalamualaikum.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It has been quite a long time since my last fashion style creation in Polyvore. I think my skill is getting rusty after the long hibernation so tonight I've re-login and try to make a set for my Monday Style.<br />

It's not for Sunday because tomorrow I'll have to wear my uniform. As usual.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">KOTA BAHARU, 27 Feb (Bernama) -- PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said today that he did not ask to be born a Malay. (He's also the Chief Minister of Kelantan, my homestate).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Kelantan Mentri Besar added that it was only by coincidence that he was born in this country.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nik Aziz said that<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> it did not matter what community he was born into <u>as long as he was a Muslim</u></span></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He was responding to a statement by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that he should be grateful for being born a Malay because this meant that he would be Muslim.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nik Aziz said that <b>all races were the same, and <u>what made a person special was that he was a Muslim</u></b><u>.</u></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He said that he was striving for Islam as a religion of moderation and was opposed to extremism which contradicted Islam.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks a lot to everyone who keeps coming to this blog even though the owner is currently quite occupied with looking after a sick mother. My dear mom was hospitalized since early this morning because of food poisoning. Alhamdulillah, she is gaining her good health back after a thorough treatment at a local private hospital. My family decided to take her there for a better environment because she's a bit scared to stay in public hospitals. Thank you to all friends who have send their du'as and well wishers. Insyaallah my mom shall be okay soon. My sisters and I will take good care of her.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm glad that my eldest sister is one of the resident doctor of that hospital and she's the one who brought my sick mom there and the rest of the family visited her in the afternoon. We want to let our mom to have a peaceful rest without her daughters and nieces pestering her. Alhamdulillah, my sister said that she managed to have a few hours sleep compared to none last night. Everyone was very happy with the progress and when we visited her at the hospital, she looks more livelier that before. Alhamdulillah wa shukurillah.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My mom is one person who's hates staying overnight at hospitals. She came home just before sunset provided that she no longer suffering from diarrhea and my sister-doctors will pay more attention to her well-being. As for me and the rest of the family, we will be her amateur massager. I know she's still not fully recovered yet and being stubborn as she is, she'll be showing us that she's okay. But do not worry, all of us already used to the tactic and we will just pretend that we are not worried. A mom is always a mom who will try her best to not let her children know how much she is suffering.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love her. All of us love her. And we will always do our best to take care of our mom.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074090594242081372noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962072822678963823.post-31385503818823809832011-02-22T14:05:00.000+08:002011-02-22T14:05:56.344+08:00A Four Days Fashion DiaryAssalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">It looks like I've been away so much lately. Since I haven't been blogging much, today I'd like to share with you 4 photos of my dresses which I've worn starting from last week's Sunday until Wednesday. My intention was to share a one week fashion diary, however I have work to do so the list will only be for 4 days. I hope you'll enjoy the sharing. </div><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of you might know that I'm working on Sunday. Our local weekend days are Friday and Saturday but my workdays are Sunday until Wednesday and Saturday. Confusing for others but for me and my colleagues, it's normal because we've been used to the schedule since 7 years ago. That's how it work for us working at this personally owned public library in Kelantan. Anyway, on Sunday I have to wear my uniform. There are 3 different outfits; a jilbab coloured dark green (patterned), plain light purple jilbab (the one above) and an orange-brown batik baju kurung. Last Sunday, I wore the purple one matched with a black soft shayla from Qatar, a coach handbag and a simple black Ruccini shoes.</div><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Usually I only wear something a bit colourful on Sunday and apart from that day, I am back to my black abayaat. As I was a bit busy on Monday I don't have much time to pose hence this photo of only my abaya. This is the bestseller abaya in my abaya shop, <a href="http://abayaelegan.blogspot.com/"><b>ABAYA ELEGAN</b></a>. It comes in 3 different colours of embroidery and 2 different type of sleeves. You can have a look at <b><a href="http://abayaelegan.blogspot.com/">ABAYA ELEGAN</a></b>. I love wearing Layla Abaya because it suits any occasions be it to work, to dinner, to formal events, visiting friends or family, you name it. And the material will not make you sweat more than usual. It also falls down nicely over your body.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Ever since I discovered that a small petite person like me look ok wearing a butterfly abaya, I've bought 3 pieces custom made according to my size. Well, actually I can easily fit the size XS/50 which is the smallest size of Dubai abaya. Anyway, I love wearing this abaya especially the ones made by saharayusuf enterprise. They are very comfortable and make me feel really elegant and lady-like wearing them. In the photo above, I wear Haniza Butterfly Abaya matched with a simple silver lining shayla from Dubai, another Coach (imitation) handbag and I forgot which shoe that I have on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">This is my first abaya ordered from Indonesia. I don't really fancy Indonesian jilbab or abaya simply because I've seen so many of them in the local market which have a very shapely cuttings and straight cut. I do not like wearing a jilbab or an abaya that will show my body shape. For me it will loose the purpose of covering the aurah. However, for the first time, I saw this abaya from Laniz Collections in facebook. After several consultations, I ordered this. Alhamdulillah, the result is good.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think that all for now. I have some work to do. See you again soon. Wassalam.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This dress look very much like a jilbab or a shoulder abaya. I think it can be worn to work and also to any other places or events. The material used to make this dress is Korean crepe which is quite cool to the touch, smooth and silky. If you do not like wearing a full abaya like me, I'll recommend this type of dress. It is modest, elegant and stylish. Just my two cents.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hoot... hoot... this one is also very nice. I wish they sew flower deco near the hemline too because when I put on my hijab, all those pretty flowers would be covered.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I believe all of us have a pile of photos taken and kept somewhere safe for us to have a look again and again. Same goes with me. I love going through my photo albums be it in a real life photo album or online. Those photos have captured many important moments in my life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I call them my life history in pictures. Well, not really every part of my life history till now but ever since I have a digicam I've photographed lots of things and most of them involved my family. Looking at each photo always reminds me of the story of that day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And among all them, I like this photo the best,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know mu husband also love this photo very much. It was taken 2 years ago when Amni was only one and half years old. I took lots of photos during their chat and this one came out the best because of the feeling and the bond between this two person that I love.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, this makes me cry. I know my husband really misses Amni this days. He's working full time and Amni is already in kindergarten. Just now I saw him looking at this photo and he said, "I miss her". Yes, me too. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL<br />
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad (Peace be with him) the honest and trustworthy. <br />
<br />
Be truthful in everything, don’t lie.<br />
Be sincere and straightforward, don’t be hypocritical.<br />
Be honest, don’t be corrupt.<br />
Be humble, don’t be boastful.<br />
Be moderate, don’t be excessive.<br />
Be reserved, don’t be garrulous.<br />
Be soft-spoken, don’t be loud.<br />
Be refined and gentle in speech, don’t curse and use foul language.<br />
Be loving and solicitous to others, don’t be unmindful of them.<br />
Be considerate and compassionate, don’t be harsh.<br />
Be polite and respectful to people, don’t be insulting or disrespectful.<br />
Be generous and charitable, don’t be selfish and miserly.<br />
Be good natured and forgiving, don’t be bitter and resentful.<br />
Share and be content with what Allah has given you, don’t be greedy.<br />
Be cheerful and pleasant, don’t be irritable and morose.<br />
Be chaste and pure, don’t be lustful.<br />
Be alert and aware of the world around you, don’t be absent-minded.<br />
Be dignified and decent, don’t be graceless.<br />
Be optimistic and hopeful, don’t be cynical or pessimistic.<br />
Be confident and have deep faith, don’t be doubtful and wavering.<br />
Be spiritually oriented and not materialistic.<br />
Be confident of the mercy of Allah, don’t be despairing and lose heart.<br />
Be diligent and vigilant of your duties, don’t be negligent.<br />
Be thankful to Allah and constantly pray to Him, don’t be forgetful of His innumerable blessings. <br />
<br />
Finally as the righteous say, "The love of Allah is the axis around which all good revolves." If you fall in love with Allah, and then strive to be true in your love--in accordance with the way of the Beloved of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), then you'll find nothing but increasing light and contentment in your life. <br />
<br />
And Allah alone gives success.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

THE WAY TO PEACE ...<br />
<br />
WITH FRIENDS.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for all of you who drop by to read or just blogwalking to this blog. I really appreciate that and I'm also very glad that I have this blog to link myself to you. Some of you might be wondering what has happened to me lately. Well, I'm having a bit of a downturn mood recently hence the lack of writing or sharing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm trying to find myself and my main purpose in life. I might be a bit slow in updating this blog because my focus would be more at my main blog, Keluargaku Sayang which also is suffering from my lack of attention. Insyaallah when I slowly gain my momentum back, more and more updates will be published and I hope they'll be beneficial to all of us.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please forgive me and pray that I'll be writing daily again soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It has been quite several days already after my last post. I was having quite a busy schedule for two projects concerning my businesses. So many things have happened during these few days and I seem to have not enough time to write anything here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, I'm enjoying my Chinese New Year's holiday right now. Oh, Gong Xi Ni to all my Chinese friends especially Kak Aliya and Adawiah. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So.... I've been pampering myself with doing nothing important since yesterday. Staying at home and lazing around watching Korean Dramas online. I have not done this for such a long time and yesterday to amuse myself alone since Hubby was working, I watched 2 dramas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Really drama crazy for a day. People would say I'm wasting my time but no... I'm not. I do house chores while doing that. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Enough with the dramas and I need to do constructive things after this. What would you suggest I do for the next 2 days? Apart from shopping.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074090594242081372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962072822678963823.post-49545526091188806102011-01-31T11:11:00.000+08:002011-01-31T11:11:21.777+08:00An Interesting Interview with Lauren Booth<div style="text-align: justify;">Q&A with Lauren Booth</div><div style="text-align: justify;">NST Online, 2011/01/30</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Broadcaster, journalist and human rights activist Lauren Booth, courted controversy in her native United Kingdom and elsewhere for her views on Middle East politics and her highly-publicised conversion to Islam in September last year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZtzWkX4Oq6w/TUYnSiZy0RI/AAAAAAAAARs/OxtsGU7oPag/s1600/lauren+booth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZtzWkX4Oq6w/TUYnSiZy0RI/AAAAAAAAARs/OxtsGU7oPag/s1600/lauren+booth.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: NST Online</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In a 30-minute interview, Booth, also the sister-in-law of former UK prime minister Tony Blair, spoke with the New Straits Times on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and her role in Viva Palestina Malaysia, a local offshoot of the UK-based Viva Palestina, an international non-governmental organisation working for the speedy creation of a free Palestinian state.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: You’ve been an advocate for Palestine long before you were a Muslim. When did your opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict change - was it during your first visit in 2005? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: Yes, I had to see the conditions in Palestine for myself to realise what was happening. It’s not easy for people to understand the Israeli occupation from our (Western) media because (much of) it is hidden or confused. But when you’re there, the situation is clearly apartheid. In fact, as (South African leader) Desmond Tutu says, the Palestinian situation is worse than apartheid, and he should know.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: You’re here for the launch of Viva Palestina Malaysia where you met our former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. What do you think of him? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: I very much liked Tun Dr Mahathir and his wife, Tun Siti Hasmah. It’s refreshing to see a former world leader who is dedicated not to making millions from oil, banks or occupations but to setting up foundations for righteous behaviour. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: He’s been labeled an anti-Semitic in the Western press due to his views on Israel. Do you agree? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: If you speak to Dr. Mahathir, it is clear he has neither the personality nor the inclination to be an anti-Semite. He is a thoughtful, pious and philosophical man. I want to tell the people of Malaysia not to be scared of being labeled anti-Semitic when criticising the unjust, disgraceful behaviour of the Israel regime. The label ‘anti-Semite’ is applied deliberately to quash debate on the Israeli government and its army and we must not be afraid to speak out (on it).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: What more can NGOs like Viva Palestina do, apart from speaking out and sending aid, to help the situation in Gaza?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: It’s becoming clear that what is needed now is a unified Palestinian government. Although NGOs aren’t allowed to be political, I would encourage them to invite (representatives from) Hamas, who may be ministers, and Fatah to come together, at least on foreign land, to see how they can work with both groups to help the Palestinian people and the cause of freedom. It can also serve as a movement which combines the Palestinian voices with the foreign solidarity cause, in a stronger, more productive manner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: What part does Malaysia have to play in this process? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: Malaysia’s absolutely pivotal in leading the way in the international arena towards the non-acceptance of the state of Israel. This is important because Israel has demanded its recognition and rights as a state, and yet in 63 years, it has given no assurances that they will in turn behave like one. Until it learns to do so - by accepting other people’s rights, acting within international law, ending the siege, stopping the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem - every other state should copy Malaysia in not recognising Israel. And to add a proviso, that is not the same as saying every Jew should be pushed into the sea. I’m saying that (Israel) must behave like a state in order for it to receive the recognition it craves for its economic ties abroad. The international community invites Israel to do so so that we can welcome it and salute its people in a way that surely, some of them deserve.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: You’ve said before that you don’t like the term “moderate Muslim”. Can you explain why you find that term problematic and in what context?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: I have a problem with the term “moderate Muslim” or “moderate Islam” because Islam is already a moderate religion. There are a billion (Muslims) in the world already practicing moderation in their lives, their jobs, their families. I have a problem with how the term is used in the West to divide Muslims into acceptable and unacceptable groups. You can’t be a moderate as well as a Muslim in the West if you feel strongly about politics or if you criticise the United States or Israel. You lose the label ‘moderate’ as soon as you speak up, which has the effect of stopping Muslims from having a political voice or a political position. We must all be moderate in our behaviour, but I do not accept the label ‘moderate’ if it means I can’t be political as well as a Muslim. I’d rather be labeled a radical right now, if it means I can air my views in solidarity with others.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: What are your immediate hopes for Palestine at the moment? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: I hope that Israel not only eases the blockade but ends it now. The siege of Gaza has lasted longer than the siege of Leningrad, which was a crime of the second world war. My other hope right now is that President Hosin Mubarak is replaced and toppled, so that the people of Egypt have a greater voice in their government, and therefore, insyaallah, greater cooperation with Palestine in a way that will allow for freedom of movement as defined under Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Q: Where do you find keep finding the hope that a resolution to the conflict can be reached in the future? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A: I always have hope. Every time I go to the West Bank, or Gaza or Jerusalem, I see some of the most academically-inclined, clever, determined young people I’ve ever met. Two years ago in Jenin, out of the rubble of bomb attacks, I found talented young people learning photography, singing and the arts at the Jenin theatre. At the Jenin cinema, there are even talks of hosting a film festival. The young Palestinians amaze me. I’ve cycled around the West Bank with the only cycling team there, made up of wonderful young men who just wished to practice their sport. I’m confident, when there is peace, Palestine will blossom and flower as a state like no other.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Thank you very much for visiting KakChik's Wardrobe and if I'm lucky, I'll get a comment or a message from you. I was a bit busy since yesterday because I have a meeting with my books supplier which basically means, have to make a list of books to return, make a new list to order, prepare a cheque and have a meeting.<br />
<br />
Apart from that, one of my colleague at work lost her mother in law yesterday's morning, innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raaji'un. And my other co-workers spent two hours visiting her family. We just want to give them moral support for their loss. Insyaallah the arwah may rest in peace.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My old working shoe got me limping when it suddenly ripped while I was walking to my bookshop. Oh my! Its time has come and I know one day this will happen. I'm lucky that near my bookshop there are a few shoe stores.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, I lost RM48 that day. It would be more if not for the Chinese New Year discount sale. Yey!

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Akhawat - Abaya Couture is one of the many companies that sells abayas online and this company has chosen to use facebook as their medium. My first impression seeing its collection was, WOW! Yes, mashaallah, the abaya collection is really gorgeous.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some are very simply designed but when you look at it, you see elegant, you see beauty and you see quality. All the characters that make me like the abayas. Just take a look at this one:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs262.snc4/39453_149748671742284_139540996096385_264242_1345839_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs262.snc4/39453_149748671742284_139540996096385_264242_1345839_n.jpg" width="266" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: Akhawat - Abaya Couture</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The design is very simple but upon looking at it I personally think this is a good quality abaya and very much my type. And look at this one too:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs793.ash1/168339_154234917960326_139540996096385_296275_349206_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="277" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs793.ash1/168339_154234917960326_139540996096385_296275_349206_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: Akhawat - Abaya Couture</td></tr>
</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The contrasting colour between the main body of the abaya and the sleeves and also the shayla makes the abaya look so glamour but in a modest way. I like this type of design very much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Frankly speaking, I love most of the collections BUT there is only one problem, they are very pricey. Yeah, what do you expect from designers abayas right? They have been designing and making those abayas from A to Z and how can they sell them below MYR300?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the price tag for the abaya with the blue sleeves:</div><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">1480 EGP (Shipping 160EGP)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Assalamualaikum.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hi, we meet again. Alhamdulillah. It means that Allah has given us another day, another opportunity to use this life as best as we can to gain more reward for our afterlife. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One way to do that is by working for the sake of Allah. In order to make our job as ibadah, our intention must be because of Him. That's why we are encouraged to say Bismillah before we start anything.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And the work must be halal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another thing which is related to making our job as an ibadah, I think we need to dress properly as a Muslim should. When I said proper, it means always remind our selves to choose suitable clothes so that when others see us, the first impression is, "She's a Muslim."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Better yet, "She's a pious Muslim."</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04074090594242081372noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962072822678963823.post-300899014866581142011-01-19T21:18:00.000+08:002011-01-19T21:18:04.453+08:00Shopping for hijabsAssalamualaikum.<br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once in a while I need to drop by a hijab store nearby my workplace to place a bulk order. I love browsing through the many hijabs hanging on the wall and also on the rounding hangers that you can see standing beside me. Every time I visit this shop I wish I can spare more than half an hour to just look around. But my lunch hour is only one hour and driving to the shop and back to the office usually use 10 - 20 min. So, rush, rush.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is a hijab heaven. The shop offers a variety of hijabs such as the common instant hijabs that are loved by many Malaysian women, all kind of shawls, pashminas, square hijabs big and small, and many different selection of inners/bonnets/underscarves. I went there to buy pashminas or big square hijabs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This shop sells wholesale and it is my supplier for hijabs. I choose to sell only big size hijabs which I'm sure will give a wider coverage of our upper body. At least below the breasts. With the hope that my customers would wear the hijab bigger and longer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Selling Islamic clothing is good and it will be great if the clothing can help Muslim women to practice covering their body properly (according to the Islamic dress code for women). I always remind myself to only sell clothing which can make women look modest, feel modest. Modest in an Islamic way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After choosing the hijabs that I want to order in bulk, I went home with this multicolored pashmina.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
