Walked in with her face covered, checked her surroundings to actually look out for any religious police (do you have any in Kuwait?? I don't know!) and off came the cover... we were amused and stunned at this lady's beauty... Read some comments on this blog and I agree that it could be parental or society pressure... whatever it is... this lass sure knew that her looks could make a few hearts skip a beat!

Mark, this can be new for you, but for me, MAN!!! dont ask, I have seen this 100 times on road, girls without hijab and sudenly next moment you see them with hijab .... well i dont blame them too, they need to come out of 60's and 70's life living in Kuwait .... Indeed Islam tells them to cover their hair, but dear freinds, at the same time there are 20 other orders come along with Hijab, which very few obey .... As per my experience in living in Kuwait, the best person to ask or related above blog is poor poor taxi drivers ... they know much more then us ... becuase they go through it every day ... Cheers Guys ..... Well, this is not new to most of the oldies living in Kuwait.

In would walk the young lady in very fashionable clothes, makeup and hair; a quick flick of the hands and head and out would drive the hijab and abaya.

But to my disappointment, I've seen so many negative things that i thought this could only happen in the West. I'm a convert and I wear the hijab.But for me and most converts, hijab is not just covering your head but also your body. My biggest disappointment in here: women wearing hijab with their tight jeans and tight shirt or wearing skirt that have slits on the sides,omg, but of course they never that hijab on their head.Hmmm is it bcoz they don't hair lol, or their hair must be so ugly that wearing hijab will hide it. Even before i became a muslim, i was always conscious about showing parts of my body. Maybe bcoz my family are very conservative. But i really don't understand these women. Is it lack of islamic education? I am not perfect and i have so much to learn about islam but I try to practice my islam the best to my ability... Looking back when i lived in the West, how it was a struggle to wear hijab and the only way to buy decent clothes is when there's an islamic conference.How people look down on us,women, coz they all think we are oppressed bcoz of the way we are dressed.Alhamdulellah.I remember thinking back then too how it would be so easy living in an Islamic country, but now i really dont know what to think anymore.
