Hey everyone, I didn't see a section for just sims family, maybe there is, but I didn't see it. Sorry about that I can be slow sometimes. Well, before I get started I would like to give everyone a little information on my Muslim family that I have made and tell you the things you will see in the pictures. Why does a Muslim woman cover her body I'm sure you all are probably wondering. Here is the answer to your question. The file includes Aya and Rami Masri also Ramis sister Dima Masri. Dima is single if Dima is to get married it needs to be with a Muslim Sim or a convert. In the religion of Islam a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man beause in Islam we believe the religion is only through the father and the kids are raised with the teachings of the fathers religion a Muslim man may marry women of the book which would be Christians or Jewish women.
 
So what do the Quran and Sunna have to say about women's dress? Here is one verse that deals with this question. Here is Surah an-Nur verse 31.
 
Surah an-Nur verse 31 reads:
 
And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms, and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to God together, O you the faithful, in order that you are successful.
 
So, if you have anymore questions why Muslim women cover please pm me I'm willing to answer any question. Also, I made a Muslim women that covers all of her face which in Arabic is called Niqab. In Islam that is optional, some women feel closer to God if they cover all of their face. Also, women that wear Hijab (scarf) feel closer to God even if thier face isn't cover. Remember everyone it is a Muslim womans choice to wear the Islamic covering, but in one point of thier life they must adopt wearing Hijab. Sorry for the long post, but I want people to understand the Islamic head scarf and Niqab that Muslim women wear.Also, keep in mind the Muslim sim women cannot be seen in front of other sim unless it's close relatives so if she wants to go swimming or go outside not covered make sure it's in her own home or a private womens club house, but make sure no other sim male that isn't her close relative see her. I forgot to add Muslim women can not be seen in front of male cousins. In Islam you can marry your cousin, but it's not recommended. Don't give me that "eww" junk a lot of Muslims don't marry their cousins.
 
I tried my best to get the information of each custom content for the sims I made. Chirko has some pretty good Islamic type of clothing like modest wear.

Little update: Since I got a new lap top. I will be taking some new pictures. I will put them in the same clothing but make up might be a little different. So, stick around and see the new updated pictures:)

Very pretty!

amar_el7ob, these are utterly gorgeous Sims, and I cannot thank you enough for making such excellent Muslim content for this game!  We need more people who are willing to present a positive view of Islam and it's way of life!  The television media only every focuses on the negative of all life on earth.  They never tell us of the 10 million not murders in a huge city - only the 7 murders that did occur; they never focus on the hard-working, honest person who struggles to make sure his family is safe and happy, only the person throwing a Molotov cocktail at a car.  They never focus on the poetry, art, and archecture that celebrate life and its beauty, only the garish and unpleasant.

It is criminal that the media have so perverted the vision of the world about Islam.  Bad people exist in every place, race, and religion.  This we versus them mentality never achieves the ideal peace that is possible.

I have many Muslim friends, and though I may not agree with every detail of every manner or tradition they practice, I don't have to - we can agree to disagree and accept these differences.  These differences are only colours of skin or clothing or languages.  We all strive to improve the lives of ourselves and children and make the world a safe and sane place.  We do not even need to believe in God or Allah to want that for ourselves and our children.

The prophets remind us to be good people again and again.  It is sad that people bicker over the author of the message more than they listen to the wisdom!

Be Ye fore-warnèd of the squirrelly wrath of Yakov:

If anyone is going to shoot their fool mouth off about these Sims, I will personally ban that member.  I am not a practitioner of Islam, but I will smash down any person among you who deride it or any practioner of it!

I agree 150% love. Thank you for posting that.

Really nice!!! Adds more realism to the ethnic diversity in
my neighbourhood. Cool job!!

Aww thanks beosboxboy! you put a smile on my face when I read your post:)

I love them Amar!

Could you upload the couple from TF contest? I liked them too *puppy eyes* :D

Tonight I was creating a middle eastern family using two arabic male sims I downloaded a couple of weeks ago so the timing of your post was perfect. All I had for the women to wear was some 'dream of jeanie' outfit I downloaded awhile back but that seemed a little too hokey, even for me. Thanks also for the cultural info. I love that stuff.

I will soon I promise. I just need to get the information on the custom content for them.

Thank you. Now I can have more diversity in my town.

Please make more. Especially traditional clothing. :-)

these are fantastic thank you for sharing :)

Sweetie these sims are amazing! I am certainly putting them in my game! I need variety in my game! Yakov said some wonderful and truthful things.  I would love to see more of your sims here! They are truly beautiful and uique. I commend you for uploading them here and showing people the beautiful side of diversity. We as a culture frown on things we do not understand.  We need to be more tolerant and less judgemental. Upload more for us! You do amazing work!

:withstup: great job!

Genial, fantástico! :)

OMG, I must have these clothes! where could I get them? I love the Palestian Thobe and that Hijab is just banging LOL. I need to learn how to recolor because I have so many Hijabs I wear that I would love for everyone to see the different colors I sport everyday:)If I knew how to mesh I would make Islamic wear, but I don't know how and it seems hard. I think you should work back on your project. I will be your number one downloader, but I won't rush you into things because I know these take time, but if you ever think about doing your project again let me know I could give you ideas on making different Islamic clothing.

Yay! great :)

Hello
I want to thank you for these wonderful sims and for taking the time to explain and instruct. I appreciate the objects as well as the information.

Some say we fear what we do not know, I say thanks for making it knowable.

One of my close friends is a musilm and shes one of the nicest people I've met.
 
BACK TO SIMS :D
 
I love the family, thankyou very much!

Thanks so much for this family. They are beautiful and if possible I will make recolors for the scarves :)

I recolored some Hijabs:) I'm so happy. I did it with Gimp, but does anyone know how recolor with the new Paint Shop Pro PhotoXI?

I had always wondered about that, Thanks!

These are really beautiful sims! Very lifelike and different from what we normally see. Thanks so much for this!

Excellent work ` The photos are fantastic!
amar_el7ob - Thank you for sharing you sims. :grin:

Hey, everyone. The ones that downloaded my sims, are you finding everything alright? The reason I'm asking is because I couldn't find them in my sim bin. Is anyone having that problem?

Dear Amar: I was looking for some like this because I should like to have muslim people in my game. Thanks a lot!!!!!!! And, of course, I suscribe all Yakov says.
Beos, you're my hero not only by your job here.
Congratulations, Amar. Mi más sincera enhorabuena y muchísimas gracias (I suposse you are Spanish, by the flag).

I cannot find them either. I have installed them and they are not it the family bin.
Do you know what the reason might be? [/COLOR][/FONT]

I'm going to try to fix the problem. I'll try maybe tonight or this weekend. I'm so sorry for this mess up.

Everything should work now. Sorry for not packing them right.

This is quite a beautiful family, and it's great to see some more ethnicity added to the game. Downloading as I speak (or type)

Yay!!
ive been looking for this!!
thank you soo very much:-P

Thank you they are awesome sims.  I think I may make them all family so my self sim could marry him, or perhaps I should spawn my sim several times.  :lol:

i can see their ankles o_O

thank u for the lesson. i've always wanted to know more but never was close enough a muslim person to ask. i can totally respect the covering of oneself especially in relationship to God.

This is so fantastic!!! Great work!

Amar, I hope you are still checking this thread.  Your Sims are very good.  I felt so fortunate to have found them.  I truely appreciated your lesson on Islam women's clothing, too.  Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Great job!! Thanks

Hi. I just wanted to say thanks for making these sims and informing us of the traditions behind the clothing.

See ya.

Wow! This is awesome, I was looking everywhere for recolours for the hijab. I found a few but lost it when my sims crashed :( Booo! lol, ps - great intro
I thought I was the only muslim obsessed with the sims, but obviously im not! ^_^ lol.
Great job!

They are beautiful! And thank you for explaining your religion to me, I think the world would be a better place if everyone would just take the time to listen to one another before passing judgement on someone.

thanks!!!

Cute :D

I like the guys shirt

I applaud you for sharing these beautiful sims and your religion. My best friend since middle school is a muslim girl and people have been unkind to her and her wonderful family since 9/11 It is great to see some one who is willing to put themselves out there and let others know the truth about their religions and cultures. I thank you, they look great in my game.

You did a beautiful job on this family :D Dose this family only work with the EPs? Because I only have the base game :-P

Here ya go. New pictures as promised.

thanks so much for making these amazing Muslim sims!

Gorgeous sims. Thank you for sharing them.

Wow, this is an old thread!  Amar, you did a great job on these sims!

AlexRosa, I remember that project.  I was part of it too.  If you're still around and reading this, I'd love to have whatever you were working on.

I had to get the Hijab for when one of my kids have children. My uncle changed to Muslim and my cousin had to wear it. I like em. As I always said, I like the Masri fam

Such a nice family, i have a nice place for them in my neighbourhood.
Thanks a lot. :)

This will probably sound really stupid- but I always thought the hijab? was kinda pretty. I have a couple of muslims at my college - I always kept thinking to myself whenever I saw them - "I bet no one ever sees them with a bad hair day"

I absolutely adore these sims! They will be entering my neighbourhood immediately!

What a great forum too, really peaceful and respectful :)

Thanks for sharing the information, I knew only some of that :)

- Kane

P.S. I wish I possessed your talents for Sim creation hehe.

Thankyou very much for the lesson on the hajab. I know some but not all the history behind this. Better understanding more of the tradition will make my muslim sims families more real. My X was/is  non practicing, except for Noruz and funerals, so I was aware/understood only some of cultural and religious. habits. My mother-in-law is fantastic she is always teaching me about the history, culture and family members in Iran. I am so blessed.

thank you! :)

haha these are soo good, & im a muslim & i was on this avatar chat called the palace they wear these avatars called "dolls" yall know em, & I met 2 friends who were from saudi arabia & (im from egypt) this random jerk just came & called us terrorists because their avatars were wering black niquab O.o..& i pretty much killed him but i dunno wha makes us terrorists when he's the one who said "you f****ing terrorists Ima BLOW YOU UP!" or..sumthing like that..haha, anyways did you make the mesh for the higab? cuz i dunno if you can make it or not but i want one that isnt like the one peice thingy i want the one with like 2 diffrent colour scarfs over each other & its a bit longer but not as long as niqab XP please reply :)

These sims are very sweet and I love them. :) Thanks for sharing.  I have all sorts of different types of Sims in my game from Asian to Spanish so these Sims will fit in perfectly and I'm sure will have great friends. :D

Very pretty! I am muslim, so it's great to make muslim sims with this hijab! Can I still download this WITHOUT Club Kitty's mesh? Like you said, she is no longer on mod the sims 2.

ما شاء الله: awsum sims... luv 'em! :angel:

Björk's song "All Is Full Of Love" is covered by Ugandan children and youths on an album by a organization called Bitone (meaning "talent"). Their mission is to restore the lives and hopes of children between 8 and 18 years old in Uganda, whom have been traumatized by the death of their parents or loss of their home due to disease, war, or economic hardship.

The program was founded by Branco Sekalegga and Hassan Kayemba with the vision of "Restoring Hope by Nurturing the Body and Spirit." Bitone youth are provided with basic food and shelter, a nurturing environment, an academic education, and counseling. Through learning traditional African music, dance, folklore and theater, the children build self-esteem, become self-reliant and contribute to creating a peaceful future for the next generations of Ugandans and others worldwide.

The record was recorded with a laptop and one microphone in the center's living room (which also serves as the dining and bedroom depending on the hour), and is being sold as a fundraising tool for the center's growth and stability.

Read more and hear the music at http://www.myspace.com/bitonetroupe and http://www.bitonechildren.org!

Thanx for the understanding + tolerance... Marvine: I'm a Moslem + really appreciate ur commitment! :angel:

(...Aren't we all "sims" created + controlled by merely 1 God?! الله!) :worship:

In Sims 1, I had a lot of beautiful skins for Muslim Sims and I have missed them terribly since changing to Sims 2.  I like religious and cultural diversity in my neighbourhoods.  This little family will have a very good home, I promise.
