A prayer hat
Sofina: This is a traditional hat that men wear
for prayer. It goes back a long time – our
prophet used to put it on so there is an obligation to wear this
when praying. It is recognised in all Muslim countries.
Abdul Hannan: The colour is for boys, young boys.
It encourages them to wear it. This one has been handmade. Someone
has spent a lot of time making this.
Sofina: This has definitely been made by a
women, it has a very fine finishing to it. She must have been very
talented.
