This needs fixing. It is unprofessional.

I fixed it. It needs pictures, however. PUBLIC DOMAIN pictures, if possible, not links to commercial websites. Zora 22:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Plural of Abaya

Does anyone know the plural of the word 'Abaya' ? The article defines an abaya but in the 3rd sentence, it says, 'Traditional abaya are ...' - should this be 'Traditional abaya's are ...'. Help ! MP (talk) 08:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

De-stubbed

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 20:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Abaya for males?

Is there a male version of abaya? We should mention it if there is. See this: http://www.alhannah.com/products/me415.html

Abaya/burqa differences

The abaya article states in the introduction "The abaya is an overgarment worn by some women in Muslim-majority countries The abaya should cover the whole body save face, feet, and hands." The burqa article states in the introduction "A burqa (also transliterated burkha, burka or burqua) is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions for the purpose of cloaking the entire body." So, what's the difference between an abaya and a burqa, (because as described, they seem to be the same)? These two articles need to make that clear. —Lowellian (reply) 06:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The Chador is a similar dress style (hijab), I believe the difference is the opening in the front, anyway, it is well developed and I think a link to it should appear on this page.


I believe all these hijab pages need to be independent to discuss the differences but also be linked together. --YakbutterT (talk) 08:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

See also Abadá, Aba. Merge?

From Abadá: "In Brazil, Abadá is a kind of robe brought by African Muslims that were brought to Bahia to work as slaves." See also Aba.
IMHO, we should merge all these articles on "long North African / Middle Eastern 'shirt'". -- Writtenonsand (talk) 14:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
