somali women dress/hijab 1980s

[Sloane Ranger]

Somali women didn't wear the type of hijabs or jilbabs you see today but long gabasaars over their baatis or guuntinos.

After Saudi Arabia started exporting their version of Islam people start wearing hijab , it’s extreme in Somalia but it’s the same story in many Muslim countries eg Egypt Malaysia etc

It's needed in Malaysia so they don't become like Singapore, it's the only majority ethically Malay nation in the world. If they became more complacent they'd become more Chinese & Indian (leading to secular law & not being a Muslim majority nation with Islam as the state religion).

hey guys im really confused and need help on this topic. I want to know why wearing hijab today in somalia and among somalis is such a big deal whereas back in the day 1980s and prior hijab wasn’t really worn like that im really curious as most of the older vintage pictures are of somali women not wearing hijab and somali men with long hair. i haven't been on here in a while and thought id come here since there are a people on here more educated on this topic.

In burco we were hijab during the kacaan era but I don't know about Mogadishu

Most women wore scarfs but they were not covered from head to toe and wearing jilbaabs , they had a choice to wear what they want now all Somali women are forced to be covered .

You sound like those racists that think all muslim women are forced to wearing hijab and jilbaab but it is their choices.

I was born in the diaspora and last year I didn't have much knowledge about Somalia I just assumed it has always been the way it is now. So yea I was looking through old passports and I saw my mothers beaten up green passport, and turned out she did not wear a hijab at that time. I asked my friends about it and they all said that their mother never had a hijab before escaping Somalia (during the civil war) which I found really interesting tbh

Somali people need to revive their culture and identity as long as it doesn't obstacle to religion.

Tbh the only real thing that changed from then and now was women wearing hijabs and being more modest. To this day there are still somalis both in the west and Somalia that are straight up agnostic and drink khamri openly. They use the deen to suppress women when a lot of the time they themselves don’t even care about the deen. My cousins in Somalia are sons of the most well known sheik in yaqshid yet not a single one is married and not a single one is a virgin

Because you could not tell the position of hijab in the past just with few pic, especially pic that were taken in Xamar. Some areas didn't care about hijab like some Bedouins or xamar, but others were wearing masar or any other outfit.
