Event Review: Hijab Hijrah 2013
Date of Event: 21st July ‘13
Venue: NUS, Kent Ridge Guild House
Time: 10:00 – 14:00
Organizers: Hijab Studio, Rozi Faith International, PeachyPixx Productions.
This exclusive event which was brought together by Hijab Studio, Rozi Faith International and PeachyPixx Productions was held at the National University of Singapore over the weekend. “Hijab Hijrah”, perhaps the first of such seminar held here had such great turnout of about 300 female participants for the 4-hour session. Some came with friends, some with mothers and some alone.
With 6 sisters who shared their journey of donning the Hijab, imparted personal grooming techniques and styles of donning the Hijab and empowering women with skills and knowledge of professional etiquette, the feedback from participants who attended this event was overwhelming. Among the speakers were Suria Artiste, Rozita Husin and fellow sisters all in different field of work ranging from entrepreneurs and an Ustazah – all with the same mission – spreading the love of Islam. All whom we should be proud of as fellow sisters!
One by one, the speakers shared their stories about their journey, issues and insecurities they faced along the way. Very inspirational, indeed.
Participants learnt many things that might have been overlooked in life. Things we sometimes take for granted and did not realize till a day come and opened our eyes. There were sisters who were yearning to start their Hijab journey but am unsure where and how to start. Some who want to start but are afraid of society acceptance to their appearance. And some, who just needed an avenue to turn to about their insecurities. That feeling of realization is something that is hard to describe with words.
I am definitely sure that this closed door event met their sole purpose with all the positive feedback that the Hijab Hijrah team received at the end of the event. Kudos to the organizing team of Hijab Hijrah and they even published the “Hijab Hijrah” book! To those of you who missed the event, you can purchase the book now.
Price: SGD$19.90
You can purchase the book from: PeachyPixx Productions / Hijab Studio / Rozi Faith (Add them on FB!).
In the words of Rozita Husin (Suria Artiste), “Wearing of Hijab is never easy but if you are strong from inside and truly believe Allah is always there for you, everything will go smoothly and Allah always has better plans for you. Just let go and let God…Insyaallah”.
