be kind to thy neighbour..

Ok got the idea from some facebook friends and then my husband found this super cool website about how this Eid you can extend a gift to your neighbor and help them understand that your not some weirdo who wears a towel on her head and lives across the street/hall whatever.

Farah from themuslimhousewife.com has shared what she wrote on her card. 

Thanks for being a great neighbor!

Here is a small sweet treat for being a great neighbor. Our religion of Islam holds the neighbor in a special status. The following is a saying of the Prophet Muhammad regarding neighbors…

“The finest in the sight of God is the person who is best to his friends. And the finest in the sight of God is the person who is best to his neighbor.”

Enjoy the baklava!

Your neighbors,

Farah, Ahmed, & Isra

I think this is such a great idea to help promote some peace out there, especially where there are tons of people giving Muslims a bad name and also spreading hate. Some guidelines that seem to be popular:

-give something packaged and sealed than baked.
-add a card or explanation.
-go in the morning/afternoon than evening.

This is sure to promote some great dialogue and act as an icebreaker especially if you haven't interacted with your neighbor before .

so what do u guys think ? what other ideas do we have for gifts?

New hijab Styles

Hey guys so i recently discovered two new hijab styles  one from Shea and the other from Suchi and i must say i have tried one of them and im loving it! 

I hate pinning under the chin because it leaves marks ( i pin tightly ) and It makes my chin look fat ( yes i'm superficial  :-D ) So when I came across "The Shea Scarf" i had to try it. 

Shea from My Amethyst put up her hijab tutorial and I wore it with a long pashmina and OMG, it was light, flowy stayed in place, no mishaps and I loved how I felt in it. It just gives you flare. Here she is with her style. Go check out her how to Shea Scarf  video. 

The other one is the Turban scarf, this is more trendy/ for special occasions weddings formal events etc. I haven't tried this one but ill update u guys when i do. Its a bold statement kinda scarf. Plus i gotta figure out the neck coverage. So here's Suchi's tutorial and the link to her website.

DIY jersey necklace

STYLE FRIZZ

I had some left over jersey material from a dress I had bought. Being a petite size I have to snip off the bottoms of most dresses and re-hem them :) yea i know.. So I decided to make a jersey necklace with the leftovers. Here are some ideas I found on Google.

I heart Jeeny's art

I really like the idea of using it as a head piece like the turquoise jersey (top). I also really liked the braid and rosettes in the other pic. Using those inspirations here's what i made. 

Tadaaa!!

Ramadan Mubarak!!

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.
