Thanks, in large part, to social media, the moments in between have taken on new significance.
Once a quiet period of anticipation, it now spills out onto the streets surrounding the mosque.
Since then, the hashtag has continued to gain traction annually.
What did stand out, though, was how younger Muslims were blending modern fashion with traditional clothing.

I saw this on Instagram and got it within the hour.
Everything ended up coming together at the last minute, alhamdulillah.

I do not keep up with trends.
I just started taking care of myself in terms of keeping up with outfits.
But I love a bazin look.

In West Africa, they’re really big on bazin culture, anything with a loose fitting.
So that’s my inspo West African culture.
Yellow represents how I’m feeling right now.

This is our little African style right here.
We usually wear bazins every Eid because we like to follow more African styles.
There was only one year I wore a thobe.
