[your sister]

Salamu alaykum , I cannot think of costumes. I have 2 young girls ( prep and grade 1 ) and my son (10) . Cant think , any suggestions?

[Ahmad]

dress them up as books.

crisis averted!

[your sister]

loooooooooool Trust me I thought of that!

[Ummi_Abdulmalik]

Well.... There are Islamic books with hijab girls in it so make them dress like how they would every day and just get them to tell their teacher their from this islamic book and this character.

WHy u worry, yrsister ?? Last year, my girls skipped school on that day, this year I found we have some dressy clothes. MY 6 & 8 year old will need a tiara each & my 10 year old, well.......she doesn't care...Alhamdulillah LOL !!

[Islam_Junkie]

For girls with hijab red riding hood is pretty easy to adapt, for a boy just dress him like an arab in a thobe complete with a turban or something and just say he's from Aladdin? Dunno, hope that helps?

[your sister]

lol I think at least one of my girls wants to be a princess, the other one doesn't care aslong as she dresses up and my son takes this stuff seriously lol , last year he dress up as Yamato Takerulol

[Al Baitel 'ateeq]

One of them can dress up as Cinderalla, but the slave version who cleans the house. Put her in a dirty little apron with a small scarf to tie her hair back.. throw some flour in her hair, smudge chocolate on her face, and if you can find a small broom, add that to the mix.

[El Muslima]

I like AMQ's suggestion. Come on ....your sister...do it !!

BTW, is there any character wearing an abaya ? Hmmm...no witches plz .

[your sister]

yerrr the one that wants to be a princess wouldn't be caught dead looking imperfect lol and she's only in prep. The other one I thought about dressing her as the hungry hungry caterpillar (boring I know). My son not sure, he will probably come up with some other wacky character from a book that I have never heard of :/

[your sister]

by the way my girls don't wear hijab to school yet, they are only 5 and 6

[Musa]

The Emperor's New Clothes?

No wait, scratch that..

[Ummi_Abdulmalik]

Choking from laughter on Musa's comment.

There is a Marvel character that is a Niqabi, don't remember the name but you could do her. She wears abaya

[UmmZ.]

Ok...dust it is ... LOL

Sold into slavery in her native Afghanistan at a young age, Sooraya Qadir was liberated by Wolverine of the X-Men. Subsequently enrolled as a student at the Xavier Institute, Sooraya was originally placed in the Special Class to allow her time to acclimatize to her new environment. When the Class' instructor, Xorn, was manipulated into believing he was Magneto, Sooraya joined the X-Men in opposing him. Later, when the student body was organized into squads, Sooraya was placed with the rebellious Hellions. Seemingly out of place with her respect for tradition and strong moral code, Sooraya still did her best to work with her teammates. When the Hellions made a deal with the Kingmaker, Sooraya was reunited with her mother. In repayment, the Kingmaker instructed the Hellions to commit crimes for him but they ultimately refused, and Sooraya's mother was lost to her once more.

After the effects of "M-Day", Dust was one of the few students who didn't lose their powers. The depowered students and staff were sent home; however their bus was bombed by anti-mutant religious zealot Reverend William Stryker. Subsequently, Emma Frost had the surviving students engage in an all-in brawl, with those deemed to be the best performers assigned to a new team of trainee X-Men. Dust was among those students who made the grade.
Sooraya became a target of William Stryker's crusade against the Xavier Institute. Icarus gave her a note, which X-23 told Sooraya not to trust. When Icarus visited the church of William Stryker he was shown why Dust was his next target. Nimrod had a vision of an altered future in his memory banks which showed Dust killing all the Purifiers by turning into a sand storm and ripping the flesh from their bones. After entering the church of Reverend Stryker, she was shown being shot down, though it was revealed to be X-23 dressed in one of her burquas. When Stryker's team infiltrated the school, Dust reappeared, surprising Stryker and playing a key role in defeating his Purifiers.

Lol , I don't like my girls dressing up as some hopeless girl from a fairy tale who is saved by some sloppy kiss . I Dont read those books to my kids. you should see how many snow whites are in the parade each year, snow white who lived with seven non mahrams o_O

[your sister]

And cinderella don't get me started. At least her step mother was trying to arrange a marriage for her girls and they didn't go sneaking off on their own to elope with prince charming <3.
