Ladies, you hurt my eyes!

"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. (30)

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah that ye may attain Bliss. (31) "

Assalamualaikum to all my friends and visitors. Thank you for still visiting me at KakChik's Wardrobe. Alhamdulillah everything is quite good over here except for the weather that is getting hotter by the days and water supplies are start having problem. Nevertheless, life is still great and I finally can rest for a while after finishing my mid-term exam yesterday.

I don't think I've mention here what I'm studying about. Well, although I already have a degree in Computer Science & Management, I am also interested in Early Childhood Education. And currently I'm doing my diploma in ECE with one more year to go.

Anyway, what I'm really want to talk about is about this kind of fashion. This idea was triggered yesterday when I saw a fellow classmates wearing their clothes just like the girls in the pictures below. I'm so sorry for putting these pics here but I think by using them as examples, my point will be more easily understand.

You are wearing clothes but you cover nothing!
How can men lower their gazes when you show yourselves like this?
I know you know about our obligation to cover our self properly according to Islamic hijab but I don't know why you interpret it like this. Or... don't you understand it?

Day by day I keep seeing more and more Muslim women in my country wearing this type of fashion. Simply say, "cover but not covering at all". There's no meaning of wearing that headscarf on your head when your clothes have done nothing in the way of hiding those curves. Sad really, because I'm paralyzed to even give nasihah to these sisters whom I met in class and in town. I'm getting angry with my self for being so helpless although I know that reminding them is my duty as a fellow Muslim.

One thing that's very clear to me is, YOU HURT MY EYES!

SURAH- LUQMAN part 1

Assalamualaikum dear friends.

I'm still busy with my exam and do not have much time to write more or to answer your comments. InsyaAllah I'll get back to them after the exam.

As for today's sharing, I'd like you to watch and listen to this beautiful surah, Surah Luqman (just part of it).

This is one of the surah that I love reading so much because it contains so many naseehah that can be a reminder and a guide for us on this world.

I leave you with that.

Clearing my wardrobe

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all friends.

I'm currently a bit tired and edgy, the aftermath of not enough sleep and rest for over 2 days. Thanks to the bi-election and also the exam which have kept me busy and sleepless. Anyway, since my mind couldn't focus more on my books, I kept wandering around and around thinking about random things.

One of them keeps coming back and making me excited all over. Yes, just like the title said, "clearing my wardrobe".

You know, that one wardrobe which shouldn't be called a wardrobe at all because of its small size with just 4 doors, is bursting with my clothes especially the abayaat. Since I have been wearing the abaya since in my high school days, and I still wear some of my old abayaat, you can just imagine how many I have accumulated over 17 years.

Right, I think I would just do that, clear away all the old abayaat (colourful) and cram in all the new ones (almost 80% black). Upon further thinking... those old abayaat are still looking nice and good except for the fading colour, losing a button or two and one has a permanent grease stain (not that obvious). I'm thinking of selling them for a very cheap and reasonable price. And I'm planning to donate the money to a friend's private Islamic school which is still struggling to survive.

Well, before I upload the pictures and quote the prices, I'd like to know your views about my intention. Insya-Allah after my paper tomorrow morning I'll be snapping the picture of the abayaat and upload them ASAP.

Oh, almost forgotten, all the abayaat are so small, maybe size XS because of my petite physics, hehe and probably Malaysian will fit them nicely.

Ok, till my next update, please leave me your opinion.

Wassalam.

Shopping for Stationery at Mydin

Assalamualaikum dear friends. a short sharing about my recent activity with my family members.

Last Wednesday night, my youngest sister asked me to accompany her to Mydin. Malaysian would know what kind of store Mydin is. After obtaining hubby's approval, we went to the wholesale store after Maghrib.

She wanted to buy some stationery supply for her school. She's teaching at a private Islamic school and currently was appointed as the inventory teacher. Previously she worked with me at my bookstore but after 4 years she wants to venture into her beloved career as a teacher. So far she seems to enjoy her job very much.

Let's see what we were doing at Mydin.

Of course... snapping pictures here and there would be a must for a blogger.

I saw 'them' looking at the customers. Hey, you look so stylish with the shades.

There are so many cheap al-amira hijab at Mydin. My sister bought one inner hijab for only MYR3 and the other one is a big size hijab for MYR10.

Would you like to see me trying one of them? Hehe...

I just put it on. It's so short and falls down just above my chest. Definitely a NO NO.

My nieces who always like to follow me around day or night.

Helping their aunty to choose some stationery.

After nearly 2 hours, we paid our things and rushed to find some fried chicken for the 2 'assistants' who have been whining that they are hungry and want to eat fried chicken. They are always hungry. Kids...
