My first contribution to the New Muslimahs Hijab Fund at the IIOC (Islamic Institute of Orange County) Omar AlFarouk Masjid is on its way. Five lucky new Muslimahs will receive this hijab-- http://www.middleeasternmall.com/metallic-print-amira-hijab-black-leopard-pi-5242.html?image=0 -- and five others will get another style of hijab TBD.
I talked to the owner of Al Anwar Islamic Fashion in Anaheim yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a lot of business there as well. Their website is at http://www.al-anwarfashion.com/catalog/ -- and their in-store collection is amazing. I also can't say enough about their awesome staff and also, the fellow customers of the shop.
Apparently a Catholic starting a fund for new Muslim women is a novel idea. I hadn't looked at it like that. I looked at it as a way of increasing interfaith communication between two religious faiths that don't always get along.
Inshallah, this encourages them in their deen. Inshallah, this increases my own iman, in my Christian, Catholic faith. For I believe that in helping others in their religious practice, we help our own faith increase, and our blessings in the afterlife increase. And also, that we should be the change we wish to see in the world, to paraphrase Gandhi. I wish to see a change in the attitudes people have towards Muslims, so I'm trying to do that through things of this nature.
Deus vobiscum in perpetuum.... God be with you, always.
