Salam alaikum,
My name is Ajani Lateefat Olajumoke. I am a student of Kwara
state polytechnic, Ilorin. I study Business Administration and I'm in HND 1.
Alhamdulilah.
Hijab Story
It all started in 2012, when I gained admission into the
polytechnic. For the first time, I realised the importance of Hijab. I went
further to ask questions as I became curious. I stumbled on some articles,
Islamic books, Quranic quotes, Islamic lectures, etc. And Alhamdulilah, here I
am it has been a life changing experience for me and I'm still
working on increasing the length of my hijab. In sha Allah.
How she’s able to achieve
her styles
Well, the first
challenge was my wardrobe. I had to get new cloths that will suite my hijab
ranging from skirts, tops, matching hijabs/scarves etc. Sometimes I just run
into nice stuff and buy. I don't really have a specific place for shopping. You
know how hard it is to get our types of cloth.
1st Look: That's me on my way to school. I robbed my mom of
that scarf.
I bought the jacket in a shop at post office Ilorin. The skirt
was made by a tailor back home in sango. The belt is my cousin's, the bag I got
from sango ota in Nigeria
2nd look: I bought that gown for my birthday
I got it in a shop @post office, Ilorin for like 1,500 naira
and the scarf was also gotten from a shop in post office for 600 naira.
3rd look: I got the shirt from sango ota (can't remember
the price)
I got the skirt from oshodi for less than 1000 naira and the
scarf is from a sweet cousin of mine.
Owambe look: I got the ankara @school and my fashion
designer made it. The hijab was a gift but you can get it for 600 naira in Ilorin.
5th look: I dress
like this sometimes. I made the qimar in oja tuntun, Ilorin. Both sewing and
material costs 950 naira. And I wore an ankara skirt under. Shikena.
6th look: This is me again in an Indian wear 8-) I got the
cloth from oshodi for 1500 naira excluding tailor fee. A sister made the hijab
for me for 500naira
7th look: My gown I got it from post office too for less
than 1000 naira. I bought the scarf from a friend for 1000 naira and the top
was a gift from big sis.
Official look: I got the top from a shop in sango for 1800
naira. The hijab is a gift from my cousin. I was wearing a black skirt.
My advice to my fellow sisters in the house is that we
should always try to acquire knowledge, especially about our Islam. We should
know why we do what we do, when it should be done, how it is done etc. It is
obligatory on every Muslim.
I pray that Almighty Allah guide us to the right path. I
hope I've been able to help in my little way.
Maa salam
