Assalamu alaykum warahamatallahi wabarakatuh,
What is ~Muslimwomenfashion about? We are about the halal styles of Islam from all around the world. You can have an interest in fashion and still be a muslim you know. So anybody who has any images of men or women halal muslim fashion, please send it here. This is just one of the ways to make non-muslims aware of the world of Islam too. So please send in photos or even images of your own creations and designs. Also any links to any great new designers for Islam would be wonderful.
How do I join? Just watch us and you will then be watched by us. This is how you can become a member. There is no levels of member status as is the case with some other communities on deviant art. There are either female members, of male supporters. But the brothers are just as welcome to submit works of art as the the sisters.
How do I submit work? Send the community a note with the title SUBMIT with a link to your deviation and it will be placed into our gallery.

Theme: Roles of the Muslim Woman in Islam
It has been a while yes sisters and brothers. There is a new competition brewing. YOU MUST send in your photos of muslim women for the upcoming khilafah conference to be held in Sydney, Australia. If you are already in Australia please come to it. If you would like more details please see the website for Hizb ut-tahrir Australia [link] . The part where you get involved in this special event, even if you cannot be there for it, is to deal with the beautiful ummah of muslimah. The sisters and men will be rightly segregated at this event insha allah and the brothers and sisters have separate tables. While some will deal with general khilafah questions, there will be an emphasis made on the role of muslim women in Islam as well.
Please submit photos depicting the following:
[a] Motherhood--no longer needed
[b] Education--no longer needed
[c] Family
[d] Working
[e] Dawah--no longer needed
[f] Marriage--no longer needed
As you can see the 6 headings also relate to the Aqeedah, hihi! So how does this benefit you? What will you get as reward? From Allah for working in the way of Islam, as dawah to your fellow sisters here in Australia! 
As usual note to send in your entry.
You will have your pictures shown under which ever heading you choose to enter under, so remember please state what aspect of the muslim woman you are choosing to depict.
If there are lots of entries for the particular area, then the best representation of that area will be chosen to show on the night.
The picture will be displayed A3 size in a cogwheel style on the wall behind the 'sister's corner,' everyone on the night will see your image. Make your sisters think, "Am I performing my duties to Allah?" Let there answers be "YES!" and if "no" then let your images inspire them to be better woman, and may Allah reward you for your efforts.
Assalamu Alaykum sisters and brothers. Looking forward to your entries.
You must submit all entries by the 24th on January. I know it is soon peoples but the conference is at the end of January, and things must be finalised long before the date. Thank you.
From ~
sighing-quietly your faithful Administrator.

Muslim unity
The wearing of the veil has always been a controversial practice and there is no consensus amongst Islamic scholars.
There are roughly two schools of thought, one which says that it is obligatory and another that believes it is highly recommended but ultimately a matter of personal choice.
Mr Straw’s intervention and the ensuing political storm have changed all that.
It now appears that British Muslims are less willing to publicly criticise those tiny minority of women who wear it.
A recent statement issued by nearly 30 Islamic groups, including one of the largest Muslim organisations - the Muslim Council of Britain, tells Muslims to “remain united, regardless of their differences of opinion in the wearing of the veil … and to defend the veil with all their ability”.
It also asks them to “avoid seeking to capitalise on this debate to further political or personal interests”.
This statement has annoyed some Muslims but they are now choosing to remain silent.
They think it is open season on Muslims and do not want to be seen damaging the community anymore by offering support to the anti-veil lobby.

There will be more on this next week.
