Everyone wishes to make their wedding ceremony so beautiful that everyone remembers and it also sails as a happy memory in everyone’s thoughts.

Maira says that the most highly anticipated parts of planning for a wedding is the opportunity that the bride has to go shopping for the perfect wedding dress. But, often this can become a very stressful endeavor as well. Stress often creeps in as time constraints and money issues press in and sometimes these things make it challenging for a bride to choose the designer wedding gown that she wants.

These professionals are specially trained and have years of knowledge that you can lean on as you endeavor to find the perfect marriage dress for you.

What Is Hijab? A Message For Arab Girls

Shahirah Rahim belongs to Aleppo and student of graduation.  Shahirah wants to describe something about hijab. She tells that despite the negative perception and stereotype surrounding the hijab in the west and other parts of the world there has been a massive surge in Muslim women wearing hijabs. There has been a considerable rise in non-Muslim women converting to Islam and wearing hijabs who have studied Islam with objectivity despite the negative hype surrounding the hijab. Many Muslim women and converts to Islam have come to love hijabs and feel very proud to adhere to the concept of hijab. The women were questioned about the attitude that men had towards them after they started wearing hijabs and the response was that it had a positive impact and men treated them more with respect and dignity.

Hijab” is also frequently used specifically to mean a headscarf worn by a Muslim woman. In this case, it most often refers to a square scarf which is folded diagonally and worn over the head to cover the hair, ears and throat, but not the face. The word used in the Qu’ran for a headscarf is “khimar”, which might be better to use when referring to headscarves in general, as many people argue that this use of “hijab” is incorrect, and it can certainly lead to confusion. Women that are regaining their identity and role in society, are now wearing the Hijab and are embracing its concept of liberation. They are taking their lawful places that Islam had awarded them fourteen hundred years ago. In fact, the western women had no rights nor did they have rights over their husband. Not only were woman the property of their husband but so were their possessions.

Sabeen Badr Writes about the History of Maaloula

Sabeen Badr is one of our regular readers from Damascus. Some days ago she visited  world’s most historical place Maaloula with her university fellows. Sabeen wants to share little about this historical place. She tells that Maaloula, in Aramaic, means “entrance”. Maaloula is some 50 kms from Damascus. On entering Maaloula a visitor would feel engulfed in an enchanted world of magic and legends that soon overwhelms the world of reality. Houses clinging to the rocks as birds’ nests cling to lovely trees will fascinate you. There are two important monasteries in Maaloula: Mar Sarkis and Mar Taqla. Enter Mar Sarkis Monastery, and you will find yourself in the midst of history. This monastery was built in the 4th century on remains of a heathen temple, with a simple, plain appearance. It was named after St. Sarkis, one of Syrian horsemen who fell in the reign of king Maxi manus in 297. This monastery still maintains its solemn historical character.
