Bangladesh Hosts First ‘Hijab’ Fair
“Our aim to organize the ‘Hijab Fair’ is to reach message to all people that hiajb is sign of modesty,” Yahia Md Amin, the event manager at Mercy Mission, told media at the hijab fair in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Amin was speaking at the first hijab fair held in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The fair, held from February 26- March 1, is organized by Mercy Mission Bangladesh at WVA (Women’s Volunteer Association) Auditorium in Dhaka.
The fair was attended by Hijab-stores of the city which shared their latest products of hijab and modest fashion for Muslim women.
Leading hijab and Abaya makers and hijab designer firms have also participated in the Hijab fair.
Along with the Hijab stalls, other activities were marked during the fair, including offering Da’wah books, food, jewelries, and handicrafts.
“I’ve been wearing hijab for the last four years due to religious and spiritual reasons,” Dr. Nasrin Nahar MBBS, M. Phil, who works as a physician in a government hospital in Dhaka, told the media.
“I have attended this hijab fair to see different style of hijab and buy some hijab,” she added.
Islam sees hijab as an obligatory code of dress, not a religious symbol displaying one’s affiliations.
Acknowledging the fact that hijab was an obligation on Muslim women, Nahar said that donning hijab was a personal preference by her.
