Name it wit wat ever name u like but is tis wat Allah asked as "hejab" ?? Ask ur self deep down and u will get te answer.

I´m not a muslim. I grew up in a catholic culture (Brazil - Rio de Janeiro). And I've just found it very very cool!!! I really make confusion between a muslim woman wearing burqa and catholic noon. LOL I cannot make this distinction.It's a quite funny embarassing. Some brazilian women (catholic, protestant, atheist, jew, buddhist etc) use a kind of hijab on their head. I think this is a mediterranean heritage that came from muslim rule in Iberia about 800 years ago.

@tasnimperu The quran never says that you have to wear a black burqa everywhere you go, it just says that you should cover. What this designer is doing is great. She's providing fun and nice looking options yet at the same time adhering to principals. The clothes are beautiful and within boundaries.

i've had this dilemma as a muslim designer for sometime now. will you be punished for making clothes that are 'unIslamic'? ... i.e., fitting, sleeveless, etc. or is the onus on the wearer to determine what and how they should dress?

Actually, this female designer is embodying everything a Muslim female should in that she's helping facilitate women to dress modestly; her stylish islamic clothing only encourages women to follow the ordinates of islam. At the same time being a great treasure for women in general, helping all women to be naturally beautiful. Allah only said that the veil is a means of recognition. it can be as beautiful as Allah's other creations

So yo wear jilbab at home or when amongst other women? It's OK to spend money to dressing yourself up as long as you're covered modestly, according to you we should not even be wearing colourful clothes, ISLAM is not that restrictive.

wow did you see her clothes theyre beautiful! listen tasnim shes allowed to make such clothes and its up the women to wear them amongst women or in mixed environments....its not the designers fault.

[EvelynGB]

you think the wives wore jilbaab as we wear now? You don't think the companions had fashion?

It is not love of the kuffar world. Allah gies us bounty and we should be thankful and show our thanks.

Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.

You think that the arab style jilbaab is the only thing suitable for islamic dress? LOL Most arab clothing is made in CHINA! by chineese designers that are NOT muslim! LOL

Love for THE kuffarWOrld!

Ilove the FASHION DRESS that Allah gave me! It's the JILBAB of the Prophet's wives 'n Companions wives, as well!!

This type of clothes CONTRADICTS the very purpose of hijab!

Kuffar's clothes = 'islamic' fashion clothes....
