Fashion Abaya In spite of the conservative Arabic culture, religion or socio-economic situation most of the female population of the Muslim world loves to pick out new outfits and colourcoordinate their abayas for all social gatherings. Being a girl myself, I can vouch for the fact that fashion is modest and for success. This is a great motto to live by! At the same time, being a Muslim I have to bear in mind the shariah guidelines of Islamwhen it comes to picking out a jilbab or an abaya to wear to work or party.
