My favorite fabric for scarves/hijabs is silk, hands down. Let me explain why I personally like it the best. It exudes delicacy, and it casts an ethereal ambiance. I’m referring to silk chiffon specifically. It’s sheer, not very slippery and floats in the wind from its light weight. Silk is also pricier than cotton and polyester due to the difficulty of production which makes it more valuable. 100% silk chiffon scarf from the middle eastI believe that no matter what one’s face shape, skin color or personal fashion style is, they can pull off silk. Silk chiffon will, of course, add a certain feminine look to a person, which may give off a limiting feeling to how it can be dressed. You can easily change up the color and wrapping style to accommodate your personal style. As a hijab, people tend to wear silk to weddings and high occassions, but I believe you can wear it anywhere and any time of the day as long as you wash it correctly and maintain it’s natural quality. I’ve had the same silk scarves that I purchased from the middle east years ago, and they still look like brand new. I found that it’s a bit tough to find silk chiffon scarves in the U.S., and it’s been tougher to get my hands on them especially since I’m not traveling due to covid, and so I decided to…make one or two! The one’s I handmade are silk georgette spandex, more durable than silk chiffon. The feeling of being able to share something online that I think is worth it, is very rewarding! It feels even better when a customer tells me how much they love it (the Silk Hijab Scarf is on both of my brand websites if you’re interested, and I offer black and off-white at the moment – links down below). Nora Dabas ‘The Silk Hijab Scarf’ in black I do wear cotton hijabs more often just because I don’t have to worry about accidentally ripping the silk when I throw it on really quickly in the morning to drop my son off at school. Going out with a friend, visiting family, having people over, etc. are all perfect occasions to wear silk and to look more presentable. I’d rather be overdressed than underdressed, always. Do you own a silk scarf? If so, what color is it, and how often do you wear it?

Longlisted for CBC’s Nonfiction Prize, 2019 A man once glanced down at my friend’s little girls and he said, “So beautiful! Will they have to cover up like you when they’re older? Such a shame.” My friend glared at the man and said, “Of course” and guided her children away from the sympathetic shake of his head.  A little girl at the park came up to me and asked, “Do you get hot in that thing?” referring to my headscarf and I smiled because I had caught her staring earlier and I said, “No, not really!” And she just nodded and looked some more so I added, “It’s a light material, see? Very breezy” and I guess she was relieved because she nodded again and smiled and skipped back to her friends. After that I used the end of my scarf to wipe my sweaty forehead because damn, did I get hot in this thing.  The interviewer at the internship I was applying to looked me up and down, nodded towards me and said, “We love to have people from all types of backgrounds. It’s good to see diversity in the workplace,” ultimately telling me that I was hired because I was different and so when I sat at my desk a week later with the other interns I wondered what I was doing sitting there with qualified hires with more experience than me. A lanky boy with clunky glasses at a summer camp I volunteered at argued with a chubby-cheeked kid and said, “No, my dad says that not all Muslims are terrorists!” and the cheeky boy replied, “Well my mom said they are” and then they both turned to me and asked, “Excuse me, are all Muslims terrorists?” as politely as you please and I hesitated as I looked for the words to speak on behalf of a nation and I said, “No, not all Muslims are terrorists. There are good people and bad people in the world. Sometimes they happen to have a certain religion.” The chubby kid nodded convinced and the skinny boy pushed up his glasses and said, “Told you,” and they went back to their table and took out their lunch while I held back a laugh that bubbled over my sadness because if only people worked more like children. The white haired man throwing disapproving glances from the other side of the bus scowled when I reached too late for the yellow line that signalled a stop. The bus jerked and I nearly tripped and he spewed curse words under his breath. And as I thanked the bus driver and stepped out into the snow, my chest tightened in anger and fear as I wondered if those words were directed at me specifically or if they were the mutters of a grumpy old man who lost his trust in a world so different than the one he knew. A fellow traveller waiting in line to wash dishes at a campsite in Vancouver grinned at me and asked, “Where you from?” and I replied, “Toronto.” She paused for a moment, hesitance playing on her parted lips and I knew what was coming next. “But what’s your background?” she asked and I sighed and recited the words I had memorized for these moments when I was asked to repeat my family’s history claiming my right to be here. And then without feeling the need to do the same, the lady with her arms full of dishes smiled, nodded and turned on the tap in the sink. My reflection stared back at me in the mirror as I leaned against the counter in the women’s restroom, exhausted and perplexed. She stared with red rimmed eyes as I unwrapped my scarf and let it slide off my head, my matted hair let loose. The girl in the mirror said to me, “What if you walked out, just like that?” and I glanced at the door and back at the mirror and I thought how easy would it be with the weight lifted of my shoulders, to walk in a crowd blended in, to be looked at in a way completely opposite of how I was usually noticed? I ran a hand through my hair and my arms trembled and inside I was so tired, so tired. And the girl in the mirror looked at me, taunting, “It would be so easy, so easy.” Then I stood up straight and I opened my mouth and I s

 The 10 grant-aided schools in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, are to remain shut pending announcement of the state government’s position on the use of the Muslim head covering (hijab) in the schools. “This is to avert any breakdown of law and order while the government concludes consultations with relevant stakeholders. Members of the public are urged to remain calm and peaceful. Official pronouncement of government’s position is likely this week,” according to a statement by the Secretary to the Kwara State Government Prof. Mamma Saba Jibril. “The government urges parents, officials and authorities at the affected schools to maintain peace and avoid making comments or doing anything that could cause further misunderstanding and heat up the polity.”
