Muslim Prayer Caps, Kufi, Kippa, Kuffiyeh etc.


In West Africa, a kufi cap is the traditional hat for men. The kufi has no religious significance. It is worn equally by Christians, Muslims, and followers of African traditional religion. Some Jews from arab or African countries choose to wear the Kufi instead of the Kippa. Many grandfathers and other older men wear a kufi everyday to symbolize their status as wise elders, religious people, or family patriarchs. Among Africa's Muslims, white kufis are worn for Friday prayers, by very religious men, and those who have performed the Muslim pilgrimage.



Within the United States, it has become identified with persons of African descent, who wear it to show pride in their culture, history, and religion. Often made of kente cloth or crocheted in a variety of yarns, kufis became popular fashion items throughout hip hop culture during the late-1980s/early-1990s.

Islamic Clothing Head Scarf, Scarves

Image
The keffiyeh, shmagh, shemagh or yashmag, ghutra, hatta or mashada is a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth (scarf), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand. Local variations exist. Many Palestinian keffiyeh are a mix of cotton and wool, which lets them dry quickly and keep the wearer's head warm. The keffiyeh is usually folded in half, into a triangle, and the fold is worn across the forehead. Often, the keffiyeh is held in place by a rope circlet, called an agal.
