Fine Muslim women everywhere are rejoicing at the latest Islamic clothing innovation known affectionately as the Burqini (Burqa + Bikini). Gone are the days of having to wear your cumbersome Burqa to the beach and attracting unwanted stares.
Thanks to Ahiida, Muslim women can head to the beach in style with several respectable garments that won’t get you arrested by your local cleric. Conservative Muslims hotties can sport the "Modest-Fit" line of swimwear. As for the risqué Muslim, don’t worry because Ahiida has got you covered, or dare I say uncovered. Go ahead and check out the "Slim-Fit" line and strut your stuff!
Still not convinced? Here are a few testimonials that speak for themselves:
Dear Sisters,
Thank you for designing the swimwear suitable for the Muslim women. May Allah reward you and your team.
Wassalam.
Best regards,
Ida
After 7 years of not being able to get into the water – I was in there on Sunday! It was great – alhumduallah! Thanks for helping me with that experience.

[...] Lembram-se dos fatos-de-banho para mulheres cristãs? Agora também há para mulheres muçulmanas… [via Religious Freaks] [...]
What do muslim males need do at the beach? If they can wear however little they like then honestly, what gives? That’s like admitting that males have an inbuilt problem with their own restraint.
Should one laugh or cry? I’ll do a little bit of both.
But those models are showing off their bare hands and feet!! THOSE FILTHY SLUTS!!!
But seriously, it doesn’t even appear that a lack of male self-restraint is even considered any kind of vice in many fundamentalist Islamic cultures. The sentiment seems to be that women are to blame because “They possess the instrument of enticement, not men”. This is not coming from me, it was a Muslim man that said this to me.
Taj el-Din al-Hilali now infamous sermon would seem to be evidence of this. It’s a very fundamental disconnect with modern civilized society
As for laughing or crying, I did a bit of both too.
I can see their FACE, I’m being enticed and persuaded. how dare they test my self-restraint by showing face and FEET!
and on a more serious note, wonder how these look when wet.
I’d still hit it.
Simply disturbing.
This is why Islam is the enemy.
that was a joke right? I don’t get it….
Maybe those outfits are meant to contain the smell. Thanks Islam!
DJ McTAVISH, you are a total ass-face for that last comment. That’s just… stupid and low.
Anyways, am I the only one who is mildly aroused by those outfits? Reminds me of the 1940′s.
On a side note, I am also full of pity for whomever has to wear that stuff. That’s gotta be psychologically damaging.
its all about the dead sea scrolls, the removed book of Enoch where the angels came from heaven and raped the women of earth and gave rise to a giant demon race. Women are too sexy, no one men nor angel can say no, they must be hidden.
course to me, this is self serving and self full filling. it makes rape acceptable.
If reincarnation is our afterlife, I beg and pray to whoever is in charge of my next life not to bring me back as a Muslim woman.
The suits are certainly stylish… It’s a step in the right direction, no?
“After 7 years of not being able to get into the water – I was in there on Sunday! It was great – alhumduallah! Thanks for helping me with that experience.”
It is astounding that she did not consider simply wearing a bikini. I thought a Burqa covered everything but the eyes, now that would be funny.
I can see the headlines now:
“Muslim woman drowns in public swimming pool, other patrons thought she was gargling the pool water”
My friend wears something similar in San Diego. She has not had any problem with swimming, jet skiing, or anything else. Its a shame that when she chooses to wear this, there are ignorant people that will criticize. Obviously, these women are happy about wearing this. Its not made for perverts and ignorant people, its made for them. You don’t criticize a sumo wrestler for wearing and even shorter outfit at matches, its his perogative.

“If reincarnation is our afterlife, I beg and pray to whoever is in charge of my next life not to bring me back as a Muslim woman.”
I second that.
I love them!
I’m not a Muslim, nor do I live in a Sharia state, but I do not feel comfortable when my underwear covers more than my swimsuit. I am also not comfortable with the outer layer of my cloths clinging tightly to my crotch. Before discovering this, I was in the process of finding material to attach as a skirt to my one piece swim suit. I also burn very easily, and this will be a mercy to my back and shoulders.
And, as to some of the comments about showing the hands, feet and face: hands and feet are allowed to be shown in every sect of the religion. And, while the burqa does cover the face, ‘burqini’ is a colloquial nichname. The burqa is not the unified muslim woman’s dress code. It is simply one of many options for preserving modesty.
this is silly. i wonder how old most of you are. and if you are old enough to read about religions and civilizations outside of your own, it makes me really sad that you don’t.
i think we have to remember that the burqa is a form of clothing under a fundamentalist sector of Islam. just like christianity, there are various denominations that practice their faith differently. there is on community in particular where women are not required to wear hijab but are simply require to wear modest clothing.
is there a problem wearing modest clothing? i personally think all women should have a little more respect for themselves and their bodies by covering up a little. or is that too much of a fundamentalist request? i don’t understand why millions of girls insist that the only way to get noticed or feel sexy is to wear plunging necklines and way too short skirts or shorts.
but i guess that’s america’s social problem. that we as a culture have socially constructed what is considered beautiful at a woman’s expense.
i can’t think of the name, but there is a Christian denomination that a few of my friends belong to in which the women can only wear skirts and are required to dress modestly.
it says a lot about our country when we have more than half of its population running around believing whatever the media and pop culture feeds them. read a book. it’s America… we have libraries. books are free.
Mariposa, there is nothing wrong with wanting to wear modest clothing.
There is however, something wrong with forcing people to wear these clothes, or for that matter, it’s wrong to force people to do anything, based on the flawed interpretation in a superstitious fictional deity.
For woman to wear the clothing they do is their own free choice, it is not being forced on them with the threat of eternal damnation if they don’t. Why do you think you have any right at all to tell anyone what to do?
“”it says a lot about our country when we have more than half of its population running around believing whatever the media and pop culture feeds them.”"
It says even more about your country that 70% of the population is running around, believing what some archaic work of fiction tells them.
Muslims should wear this at all cost.
I like this suit, but can’t find an American dealer. Guess what, nobody’s forcing me! Just don’t want to be a common American hoochie with my butt out and a bunch o’ tattoos. Guess where I got my new modest swimsuit— A CHRISTIAN website! Nobody’s forcing them either. If you love God, you do not want to be one of those disgusting people Moses found sinning when he came down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments. So to each his or her own. Stop making fun of people who are different than you!
“Guess what, nobody’s forcing me!”
Yoy realise that makes it even worse right? You freely believe a load of supernatural, unproven, unfounded, archaic bull.
Besides, i’m not making fun of people, just their sad, archaic, mistaken believes.
“Besides, i’m not making fun of people, just their sad, archaic, mistaken believes.”
I make fun of people, there is no excuse to be ignorant and to believe total nonsense in the age of the internet.
I have a Vegas-style nightclub singer outfit I occasionally wear to Halloween parties (I named it my “Shecky Lenny” suit). If people *didn’t* laugh at it, I would be surprised — and a little dissapointed as well. I also get odd looks when I happen to stop in a store on my way to or from workout in my Kung Fu uniform. Fortunately, my self-worth is not tied into the opinions of others.
The point is, of course it is okay to laugh at clothing. No matter where you live or what culture you come from, some of the stuff people wear will seem funny. I still crack up every time I see a guy wearing a penis-sheath. Have those tribesmen been wearing them for hundreds of years? Sure. Does it seem “normal” to them? Sure. Does it matter to them that I laugh every time I see them? I bet it doesn’t even enter into their awareness.
Well put Kurt. By the way, you wouldn’t have to wear those silly uniforms in Krav Maga, i’m just saying.
Thanks, Irish. I actually find my uniforms to be the most comfortable clothing I have . . . and, after all, like most martial arts “uniforms,” they’re just street clothes from another era. And, as a side note, Krav Maga is quite effective — so much so that one of the other masters is learning it to enhance what we know. Always grow, always learn! :)
This is directed at “Cool Muslim woman” and others like her.
I believe everyone has the right to choose how they dress (modest or immodest) that is up to themselves.
The problem is when children are raised in a religious-strictly-modest household (Muslim, Christian, whatever) then children are taught “Allah/God won’t love me if I displease him by dressing immodestly. Therefore I have no choice after all”.
I’ve read several posts of Muslim women praising that they now can finally go swimming in public pools. Citing the lack of freedom because every male would ogle their curves. Somehow Allah allows every man to be sinful perverts, but it is the burden of women to curtail it. This condones rape of immodest girls as they were “asking for it”.
How does your daughter feel on a hot, hot day when her older brother can walk alone wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and she is only allowed to show her hand,face,feet and walk with an escort of family members(mahrams)?
This thinking reveals that women are either less important than men and therefore have less freedoms…
or women are so special that even their bodies are prizes that they have need to safeguard from the world.
But mothers who cannot swim in public pools with their children shows that modern Islamic society truly is not equal…to the detriment of those mothers and their children. The burqini will help for now(to the profit of the sellers as righteous women have little choice in the matter)
As a friend of mine once wrote: “Allah created a woman’s body. To cover up one of Allah’s greatest creations, under the pretense of modesty or shielding oneself from the eyes of those of His creation, is an insult to Allah himself.”
So don’t worry about strange men and dress as you feel comfortable. Allah will know if your heart is pure, he cares not about your clothes.
Great post Tara, I totally agree.
I do find it increadibly funny that people are so busy finding loopholes in their self-imposed religion. If you don’t like it, ignore the ‘law’ or accept it, anything else is just hypocritical.
Actually men have to cover up their belly button to their knees. and plus we dont cover up for the sake of men. we do it for God. the same reason Nuns do, and the Virgin Mary. We are just practicing the very old tradition.
Re “we do it for God” in post 30, why does your purported god need you to cover up? Surely an omnipotent god knows what you look like unclothed anyway.
In the same vein, why would a god require a holy book (e.g. kuran or bible) to get its message into your head? Surely an omnipotent god could accomplish that instantly, without a book.
