Hahahahah. Welcome back

Oh crap all my ties are made of silk AND made of gold AND I think were bought with interest money AND I think the tie company supports Zionism. I'm sure they all cancel each other out I think?

bro, i agree with you. i'm just saying that it will have to wait until i actually start earning some benjamins. jaan j ties look sweet. nice designs. good quality. not THAT expensive either. it's just too expensive for my broke self right now.

fi aman Allah

As Salamu Alaykum Sidi,

I know what you mean. I work for a nonprofit Muslim organization, I dont get paid much, but alhamdulillah. I'm just glad places like jaan j accomodates the needs for muslims who need to wear that in a business or formal environment.

*disclaimer - I hate wearing ties and suits. My idea of comfortable clothing is sweat pants and a t shirt. I'll add a zip up hooded sweater for colder days (which is pretty rare in southern california.)

so im on a business trip right now. bored in my hotel room and was surfing the net and checked out what jaan j. had cooking. found something interesting.

Please support.

jaan j. provides a great service for the ummah, and looks really professional while doing it masha Allah.

When I was doing hifzh,my teacher told me not to wear the tie cause it symbolized the cross.(which is not true with all due respect to my teacher.) So I stopped wearing ties until I was finished. Then I went back to wearing them after hifzh. (Obviously I'm not talking about silk ties.) I just figured it was one of those things that people said was haram without any strong daleel because of their bias against the west or because of something that was passed on from so and so to so and so until some people took it as law.

Asalamu Alaikum,

Just checked out Jaan J for the first time. They have some cute Hijaab Pins. But there too pricey.

Fi AmanAllah

Why didn't you just respectfully tell him that they did not, in fact, symbolize the cross?

With all due respect I don't think ties could get any uglier than the ones the kids above are wearing.
