Sports Hijab Collection in Colors Inspired by the Early Islamic Art

The new collection of Nashata’s Sports Hijab and Tops (coming soon insyaAllah) are inspired by the colors from my recent visit to the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar. There is also an Islamic Arts Museum in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia with similar exhibits as the one in Doha. I visited the one in Kuala Lumpur twice and it has a vast of collection from China, India and South East Asia with similar colors and themes.

What I like about the colors of early islamic art is the use of gold, maroon, turquoise and blue in geometries and lovely shapes in dishes, cover of the Holy Quran, ceramic, jewelries and rugs.

Memories Boxed Up On Muhammad Ali

Exhibits on Mohammad Ali

Exhibits on Mohammad Ali

Muhammad Ali is the champion in the boxing world. A showcase of his life and achievements are on display at the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha until 25th Feb 2017. He died in June 2016, at the age of 74. Other than his achievement as a world class athlete winning the light heavyweight Olympic Games in 1960 and world heavyweight champion in 1964, 1974 and 1978 he is also known as a social activist and his stance against war. He refused to serve the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War. I was too small to remember his fights. All I have is a memory for my great-grandmother looking forward to watch his games. In 1998, he was honored as the UN Man of Peace award. I didn’t capture the exhibits of his letter to the US government about his stand against the war.

Cassius Clay was his name before he converted to Islam at the age of 22. Here are some of his famous quotes and pictures of his boxing gloves in memory of his achievements! Check out the comic cover of Superman VS Muhammad Ali.
