Arabic......"SERBAN".......

Marhabban..Welcome to WORLD fashions of SERBAN's....
courtesy by... Arab-families blogspot.com...
featuring.... WORLD OF SERBAN's....n fashions.....
" Serban" is the head gear ....now very popular among the young generations of arab-families.blogspot.com today in Brunei....
Ulama' Arab Saudi, Sheikh Salman al-Oadah ada menyebut:

"Pandangan mengenai serban ialah ianya bukan sunnah. Ianya adalah adat orang arab semenjak zaman Arab Jahilyah. Rasullullah s.a.w memakai serban kerana ia adalah adat di tempat baginda. Kita tidak boleh mengatakan serban sebagai sunnah dan tidak boleh juga mengharamkan pemakainnya. Sebaliknya ia adalah adat dan kebiasaan. Tiada hadis sahih mengenai fadhilat memakai serban."
Posted by Ibn Hussin


Serban adalah kalimah farsi yang menggabungkan antara kalimah “sar” dan “ban” yang memberi makna “belit kepala”
Didalam bahasa Arab, Serban disebut dengan “العمامة” al-‘Imamah. Di dalam buku “mengapa tidak berserban?” karangan Muhammad Nur Lubis, serban di definisikan,
“kain yang dililitkan di atas jenis kopiah, samada dari jenis kain khas atau lain yang diletakan di atas kepala”
Adapun didalam Kamus al-Mu’jam al-‘Arabi Al-Asasi, Al-‘Imamah didefinisikan sebagai;
ما يلف على الرأس
Maksudnya; “sesuatu yang dibelitkan atas kepala” (m/s 869)
Mengikut Ahli Sejarah, pemakaian serban adalah merupakan pemakaian kebiasaan arab semenjak zaman jahiliyyah lagi, sehinggakan arab menganggap bahawa serban adalah mahkota orang-orang arab sebagaimana disebut oleh Saidina Ali RA ;
العمائم تيجان العرب
Maksudnya; “serban adalah mahkota orang-orang arab”
Walaupun serban merupakan pakaian yang dibanggakan oleh orang-orang arab semenjak zaman jahiliyyah lagi, tetapi pemakaian serban juga merupakan pemakaian yang disukai oleh Nabi SAW.

(from. Riyadhus Sholihin....Ibn.Hussin)

Wearing Serban normally come with wearing Jubbah........especially after performing Haj or Umrah..from the Holy land...

arab-families featuring the traditional dress of the Arabs........
"SERBAN" and "JUBAH"....

"Serban" is the head cover and also "jubah" is the dress..
.(tengok mcmana mereka ikat serban yg ini...cantik lah!!!)
"Memakai serban adalah suatu amal sunah"

So many ways we see how some people create (lilit) their Serban.

This is the traditional dresses...(JUBAH) of the Omanis....


This the traditional dresses of the Saudi's....Arabia..

"Serban adalah mahkota orang-orang Arab"


"Bahawa bilamana Rasullah (s.a.w) memakai serban, baginda akan membiarkan hujung serbanya bergantung di antara bahunya"


" Kebiasaan Rasullah (s.a.w)..ialah membiarkan ekor seban berjuntai"

Arab-families with their Serban and Jubah......mashallah Shaikh....... Shaikh...Arab...!!! (pic..in... 1996)

Many fashions and colours of Serban..................... and..Jubah nowdays...........popular worn by young...and.............. old......very creatives....!!!

and now become fashionable...


"Wearing serbans during prayers make the prayers more valuable"

"Wearing serbans (head gear) magnify the quality and value of your prayers."
Bangsa Arab memakai serban untok melindungi dari pada panas dan pasir......
Any way we, arab-familes love to wear serban at all our families occassions............

Go..! Go..! Go...! ...Vote for Pablo....


Ahlan....Wassahlan...Marhabban to Pablo..........Selamat berpuasa ..Semoga Sehat sehat Sejahtera..,........ Amin......
We, arab-families missed you so much here (Brunei) at home at this Ramadan......Masahallah.......tuan Shaikh.......

GO...GO...GO..VOTE....VOTE...VOTE...WIN..WIN..WIN...PABLO!!!
