celebrate (and wear) your roots
when it comes to abaya, it can be a little daunting at first because it may seem so foreign and perhaps it isn't even in your culture to wear it or even anything like it. one way to get over that hurdle and have some fun with it, is to tie it into your culture. maybe for you, you could add some african inspired prints to the sleeves, chinese patterned silk or in my case i would whip out the tartan and wear my heritage on my literal sleeves.
tartan in various red colouring...
pleated red tartan over black laced sleeves...
burberry style tartan abayas...
brown tartan sleeved abaya / black & white tartan tunic...
red tartan lined abaya...
black & white lined tartan abaya...
here are some ways to incorporate it into your look
a brown burberry styled hijabi....
red and gray tartan styled look over a black abaya...
or for a brighter - less traditional tartan - how about pink & blue...

RIP Dr. Marwa El Sherbiny - our hijab martyr - شهيدة الحجاب
i havent seen the story at all on aussie news, i caught it on the egyptian tv shows. Dr. Marwa was taking a man in germany to court after he attacked her and called her names, terrorist and so on - trying to take her hijab off in the streets in front of her son in a playground.
Marwa won the court proceedings and the man was so enraged that he pulled out a knife in the court and stabbed her 18 times. she died in front of her husband and small son. she was also pregnant. her husband tried to stop the guy, but the stupid security guards shot him by accident. he now lays in hospital. they have a small son who has now lost his mother.
the footage you see in the clip - the pic of the guy holding a knife up to a screaming woman is actually footage of him killing her. you dont see blood or the knife entering her body, but you can see the look of sheer terror on her face, her hijab and top ripped off as she tries to push him away and the look of rage on his as he holds the knife above her head, ready to swoop down and stab her.
i think you should all take 2 mins to watch the video and read the subtitled story and afterwards make dua to Allah for her, her murdered unborn child, her husband, her small son and the rest of her family that was left behind.
thousands of people attended her funeral in egypt...
you can read more about her and her egyptian funeral here.
EDIT : a few of you have asked some questions relating to the incident. i dont know all the story but i did watch some footage that was played on egyptian tv. i didnt understand of course due to it being in arabic but my hubby translated bits for me and i did see the security footage. they have no metal detectors at the court so the guy walked in, unchecked, with a knife. thats fail number one.
fail number two - was the security guards. besides shooting the husband who was only trying to rescue his wife, footage captured there shows when a security guard was called in to the attack, he jogged around the corner and then slowed down to a slow pace and WALKED the rest of the way down the hallway to the scene as the attack was happening.
if any of you guys have further information, please add it in the comment section.
