There are many varieties of Muslim hats in the world. They differ in types and purpose. In this article, we will talk about the main hats that men and women use. We will try to give complete and comprehensive information.
Hijab
Of course, the most famous and widespread Muslim headdress is the hijab. Initially, this was the name of absolutely any clothing that covered the female body. Indeed, in the literal translation this word is translated as a "veil." In an even broader sense, hijab can be called not only clothes, but also manners that meet the requirements of the Qur'an, the behavior and thoughts of the fair sex.
In the modern world, most often only a headscarf for women is called that which carefully covers not only the hair, but also the neck, ears and chest. This is the most common Muslim headdress for women.
It is worth remembering that in different cultures and even countries, traditions and features of wearing a hijab may vary. Therefore, in this article we will talk only about the most general principles.
How to choose a hijab?
In order not to be mistaken in the selection of this Muslim headdress, one should strictly focus on several important details. This is the skin color, facial features and its shape. In this article we will give some tips.
It is advisable for women with a square face shape to soften their features, therefore it is recommended to tie a scarf as freely as possible, opening the cheekbones and forehead, but hiding the jaw and chin.
If a Muslim woman has a round face, then it is desirable, on the contrary, to lengthen, giving an oval shape. To do this, open the forehead, covering the cheekbones.
For a girl with a rectangular shape of the face, it is best to slide the subjug as close to the eyebrows as possible so that the face visually expands. The emphasis is on whiskey and cheekbones.
When the face is triangular in shape, then the best option would be to tie a hijab in a free style. You can remove the existing imbalance by giving the face a diamond shape. To do this, they hide the forehead on the sides, and frame the chin with the remaining free folds.
If you have an oval face, then consider yourself lucky, any option will do.
Wearing rules
Now, as a Muslim female headdress, a hijab is used, which is a stole, a square shawl or a scarf. The main thing is that it has a base on which the scarf itself is attached with pins.
The outfit itself consists of several components. This is a sub jaundice - the so-called hood reaching the chest, it has a hole for the face. The universal hijab al-Amir usually consists of a cap with a hood. One part covers the ears and hair, and the second - the chest and neck.
If you want to learn how to sew a Muslim hijab headdress, then you should be aware that its base must be made of silk, cotton or viscose. But the colors and textures are made very different, decorating with rhinestones, prints or even embroidery.
For any Muslim woman, the process of tying a hijab can be compared to a certain sacrament. Girls have been taught this since the age of five or six. By the way an adult woman ties a hijab, and which one she prefers to leave home, you can determine her desires and mood.
More stringent options for women
A stricter Muslim headdress for women is niqab. However, he is much less popular than hijab.
Niqab covers his face almost completely, leaving only a narrow cut for the eyes. It consists of three parts. The first must be tied on the forehead using ribbons located on the back, the second is sewn in front at the edges, and the third is located behind, covering the neck and hair. In some cases, the girls also use the fourth part - the veil, which closes the eyes themselves.
There is also a burqa (its variants are burka or veil) - this is a dressing gown or coverlet that completely covers the woman's body from head to toe. The difference between them is only that there is a veil in the burqa and the burqa (it is attached separately in the burqa), and the veil is both with an open face and an eye opening.
A woman in niqab or veil can usually be found in countries in the Middle East. Muslim women in niqab are often found in European countries where a large number of representatives of this religion live. At the same time, recently in some EU countries they began to impose restrictions on wearing a niqab or hijab.
Burqa and burqa are found only in the most conservative Muslim countries. These include Pakistan and Afghanistan.
For men
Muslim Muslim hats, of course, are not so diverse. First of all, it is a skullcap. It is of several types (four-wedge or cylindrical-conical cut). Traditionally they are worn both in cities and in villages in Central Asian countries. Often men in such a headdress can be found in the Russian Urals (Tatarstan, Bashkiria), Volga regions.
It is worth noting that the skullcap is now out of fashion. Most often, it is worn by representatives of the older generation. And in winter, young people often choose classic European hats - the most common knitted hats.
