Hijab Jokes “Appendix B” consists of a humorous write up about the pointless hijab that some Muslim sisters wear. This is reproduced here from the internet. Hijab Jokes By: Ayesha Ayesha1998@aol.com Broadcasted on BIC News 20 November 1997 Brothers and Sisters, Although it may seem humorous it can serve as constructive criticism both for the sisters, and the brothers.

We learn from this that all those outward actions which Islam requires must be done correctly and with the correct intention, i.e. not for fashion or to fit into a certain group. That is it must all be solely for the sake of Allah (swt). The purpose of this article is not to offend anyone, rather it was written to make a point. Enjoy... It has been my personal observation that some Muslim girls and women do not realize the significance of hijab . Hijab is Arabic for protection and cover.

Some people put a lot of effort into their hijab , yet it serves no purpose. I am referring to the pointless hijab that some girls wear. The first pointless hijab is referred to as the headband hijab . It is a band of fabric approximately 4 inches wide. It covers the back of the head and allows all the hair to be exposed. It doesn't serve much in terms of modesty, but at least it comes in handy in case of an unexpected tennis match.

The second pointless hijab is the dupetta, also known as the Saran wrap hijab. It covers all the hair, but it is totally transparent. Again it doesn't serve much in terms of modesty, but it keeps the hair nice and fresh. The third type of hijab is known as the Mickey Mouse Hijab **.** It is when a girl wears a black scarf and tucks it behind her ear, so that her ears stick out. We now move to my favorites: the yo-yo hijab s.

The first yo-yo hijab , also known as the Benazir Bhutto hijab , is the scarf that keeps falling down and needs to be constantly pulled back up....up, down, up, down, just like a yo-yo. The second yo-yo hijab is also referred to as the convertible hijab . This type of hijab is predominant at any type of social event, i.e. an Aqeeqah, Bismillah party, Ameen party, wedding, etc. This is when an Imam or Qari comes up to the microphone and starts to recite Qur'an.

At this point, all the convertible hijab s come up...until he says "Sadaqallahul adheem". I'm not sure, but apparently in some cultures that translates to "Ok sisters, you may now take off your scarves".
