Assalam Wa3laikum! Welcome to Muslima Moda!

We, Ruqiyyah and Ala, started this site up as an outlet for the interests and concerns of Muslimas everywhere. We are fashion fanatics who feel a deep and meaningful connection with our religion and we want to use this blog to reflect both aspects of our lives. We want to share our love of being muslimas, wearing hijab , and hijabi fashion.

"Hijabi fashion" may seem like a paradox but it is a growing fashion industry serving millions. We really wanted to start our first post here to talk about what hijab is to us.

Hijab is more than covering your head. It is a dress code set out for muslim women after they reach puberty. The dress code involves covering everything except for your hands, feet and face. In fact the permissibility of feet has even been controversial. However, for our purposes we believe it is not part of the hijab.

We know that the fashion industry wasn't made for the purposes of our modesty, but we know that we can make it work for us in often gorgeous ways that we hope to share with everyone!

In addition to fashion advice and discussion, we want to address problems and issues that face the hijabi of the 21st century.

We intend to put up at least one new post every week. Posts may be by one or both of us and they should be a ton of fun inshallah!

Just some background on us: We've been best friends for over ten years but we're complete opposites, so you should see a wide variety of fashions and feelings about spending and style between the two of us.

Please leave your feedback about what you would like to see on here and we'll be happy to use your ideas.

Ruqiyyah and Ala
