Many women are simply not ready for hijab, they have accepted Islam but they are not ready to take the next step. They may take baby steps, wearing a small scarf every now and then, wearing a long blouse over jeans, but are not ready to take the plunge into being a full time muhajabah. This may take time, as everyone is different, it may even take some sisters YEARS to wear hijab full-time.<br /><br />For the rest of the post please see my other blog <a href="http://jamaicanmuslimah.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-diss-trying-muhajabah.html">Jamaican Muslimah</a><br /></span>Jamaican Hijabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17878687998417994899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396230736424116110.post-64246081609098537342009-04-30T13:11:00.003-05:002009-04-30T13:14:25.944-05:00Mad about Caftans !<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lbiJ91bloOQ/Sfnp-mdXT7I/AAAAAAAAAZA/vZp6HpyeKZ0/s1600-h/eshakti_caftans1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 302px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330548895654563762" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lbiJ91bloOQ/Sfnp-mdXT7I/AAAAAAAAAZA/vZp6HpyeKZ0/s400/eshakti_caftans1.JPG" /></a> I love <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eshakti's</a> collection of caftans, of course in my favourite fabric , cotton.Jamaican Hijabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17878687998417994899noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396230736424116110.post-8390269214957497892009-04-20T18:51:00.004-05:002009-04-20T18:57:34.469-05:00A Splash of Orange<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lbiJ91bloOQ/Se0LNjdBcQI/AAAAAAAAAYA/1E0JOy2qnbY/s1600-h/Boldly+Orange.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lbiJ91bloOQ/Se0LNjdBcQI/AAAAAAAAAYA/1E0JOy2qnbY/s400/Boldly+Orange.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326926261732339970" border="0" /></a>Pretty blue and orange dress from al-anwarfashion.com, blue sandals from paylessshoesource.com.
