You should also wear only black sandals with your black aba.

Besides for mourning, black is also used in our traditional costume called an aba (gown).

We have been reminiscing about the latest technologies and the iPods, and for me the abaya, my traditional dress that I'm wearing today.

Besides abas, we wear veils, and they should be color coordinated with the other color you are wearing.

Thank God for chastity. Although the girls had their hair covered and were wearing a abaya, the black cloak which fully covers the body, the commotion seems to be because they did not cover their faces too.

Underneath the aba, you can wear any color you wish, but for the veil which goes over and around your head, it should be harmonious with the color of your aba.

Researchers mentioned that since the approach can be scaled down further in size, it was a major step towards a cloak that would work for visible light.

Now I remember a few years ago, a journalist asked Dr. Sheikha, who's sitting here, president of Qatar University who, by the way, is a woman he asked her whether she thought the abaya hindered or infringed her freedom in any way.
