My Burnt Hijab Collection
A visual odyssey.
Not only do I hate ironing, I can prove it:
As I was doing my tidy-up today
I looked at my scarves
and realised how many of them are burnt
and so, feeling a little silly
I decided to snap away
but then I realised
that there were way too many
which were burnt
I couldn't believe it
and thoughts wandered elsewhere
at the creation of God Almighty Most High
who Created the Heavans
and the earth
and all that exists in between
and He Most Powerful, also Created
The Hellfire.
I pray He, Most Wise & Lord of Mercy
Protects and keeps us all,
The Children of His Noble Prophet Adam Alaislam
free from even the smoke and smell of Fire.
And enters us all into Heavan by His Great Kindness.
Amen.

Amin Amin Amin ya Rabb to your du'a.
p.S Apa, apart from burning your hijabs, you are pretty good at *cutting* your hijab by mistake with scissors as well- remember the package you received once ;)

Assalamu alaikum,
LOL!!!! I think you should be in the Guinness Book of records!
Insha'Allah you retrieve all the not burnt sections and sew them altogether to make a large colourful throw over for the garden or a curtain or something. They all seem too beautiful not to be used in some way.
A visually titillating post!!! :)

Yes! Of course I do!!! How can I forget ;-)
So the next time round I recieve a package with the words: Do Not Cut Open!!!!!!!
AUNTY N
Walaikumslam!
At least it made you laff! I've had many over the years but have given them away with time. Oh I forgot to tell ya, all bar one are worn on a regular basis ;-) C'mon whose to know eh? It's mainly the edges / corner parts which are burnt.. they can easily tuck inside [in the triangle way]!
A throw for the garden does sound interesting, as too does the curtain thing.. but I have a mum who would batter me quick if I opted for those creative diddles!
Salam and rainy-wet kisses from England x x x x x x x x x x x x

Asalaamu alaikum.
Ameen to your du'as!
This is exactly why I don't bother to iron my scarves... :) Else I would have such a lot of gorgeous but ruined things as well. So sad. They are all so lovely!
