These Hijabi Cosplayers Are Kicking Butt

The cosplay community is a tight-knit one and spans countries and race. There may be differences due to societal norms and even religious restrictions, but when there is even but a spark of creativity, amazing things arise.

And that’s what these Hijabi cosplayers are doing.

On the off chance that you’re not sure what a Hijabi is…

A Hijabi is a woman who wears the Islamic head cover called a Hijab, literally translated as “headscarf”.

So, what are the Hijabi cosplayers doing? They’ve taken their everyday head cover and incorporated it into costumes much like any other cosplayer does. Except that one may argue that this has a tad more touch of creativity.

Here’s an idea about Hijabi cosplay from the Hijab Cosplay Gallery on Facebook:

This fanpages created to appreciate the work of illustrators, cosplayers, and photographer. Related in Hijab “Muslim” Cosplay from around the world. [sic]

They also have a group which you can join.

Now take a look at some of the best (in my opinion) Hijabi cosplays in the gallery.

So, kickass or what?

While the Facebook page and groups are probably the best places to find Hijabi cosplayers and their work, here are some that you may want to check out – and follow – first.
