Media speaks volumes to our consumerism. Advertising is an awareness tool that jumps out at the audience, grabbing attention, literally saying:
‘TAKE ME HOME BAYBEEEE!!”
‘TAKE ME HOME BAYBEEEE!!”
Since i’ve been on Ramadan mode, here’s one for Islamic Advertising.
Why women should wear a scarf!
It aptly describes what happens when you neglect sweet things 
Innuendo intended:)
Brief explaination for NON-Muslim readers:
Islam stipulates that women should cover their hair. Western society stereotypes it as a form of oppression on women, BUT… alot of a women’s beauty is represented by her hair. Women, in Islam, are treated as gems.
Think about it, if you had the most beautiful Diamond in the world, would you want everyone touching it and looking at it? Leaving grubby fingerprints on it?

NO!!!
You would want to preserve its beauty , viewable to a select few. Heaven forbid that someone try to damage or steal it 
Hijab Advertiising
Think Hijab is Boring? A site for Muslimah’s :Hijab Style
Another clever illustration by Saaleha, re-iterating that western perceptions should uncover the mind

please explain to me the concept of hijaab..
I am of the understanding that it is covering of the whole face and not just a scarf..
this is important as its a whole mindset. and i doubt its just me
haha!
brilliant!
lol…love it…
Hijaab refers to covering of the hair and the satr (don’t have the exact quraanic verses).
Niqaab refers to the face cover or veil.
The scarf is referred to as a Khimar, and it is this word that is used in the Quran in verses relating to the head cover.
That’s what I understand, I stand to be corrected.
Ta for the plug Hasina:)

@Killa
Hijab = appropriate covering. i.e there is only a certain amount of skin permissible to be visible.
As Saaleha mentioned Nikaab = covering of the face
And the Jilbaab = conceals a woman’s shape .ie. her curves.
