Prince Hamzah & Princess Basmah Current Events 1, Jan 2012 - Aug 2023

[marlene]

I think she wore the scarf as a fashion accessory and nothing else!

 

[sara fathi]

i can't found any problem if she wear hijab or not , it's a personal freedom , it's a muslim woman before she be princess ....

 

[Burzg]

No but by covering her hair and showing her neck, earring and wearing tight clothes she is insulting Islam... She covered her hair but she forgot to cover neck When some girl wants to cover she need to cover everything otherwise people will say really bad things about her and the way she was raised

For example: Princess Fahdah wear the hijab correct ; she cover everything but only her hands ; not all her hands show only her fist

I agree with Marlene, I think she simply wore the scarf as a fashion accessory. I think she was just trying to be stylish (not very succesfully in my opinion) but I am sure her intention was not wearing the hijab. I am sure she has people who can advice her or that can explain to her how to wear correctly a hijab. I think people close to her wouldn't have let her going out with something offensive to Islam.

I think she is just trying to find her own style and never pretended to be offensive.

But, what I have thought reading you all is how hard must be being a new princess, from having a normal life to be in the spotlight. Her first steps as a princess must be respected. We should do as with the politicians or football trainers: to give her "100 days of grace" (I do not know how to say in in English..., excuse me) It's great to be here with you all after a long time!!!! I enjoy reading you!

Burgz, I love your avatar: I had never seen a picture of prince Hamzah playing polo!

We all saw her pics at prince Rashed`s wedding. Her hair wasn`t fully covered.

 

[NoorMeansLight]

I think she was just trying to be stylish

Quite an unfortunate attempt then. I truly doubt that Prince Hamzah opted for a lighter version of Fahdah, so I hope that Basmah will seek professional advice on her 'scarf style' soon!

 

[Mrs. Hamzah]

can we all please give princess basma a break on what see is wearing on what she is not wearing and how she is wearing it seems to me she is happy in herself and isnt that what matter she should dress for yherself and and no one else i wasnt ware is was the fashion thread

The moderator shall feel free to move our comments to an appropriate fashion thread dedicated to Basmah. But no, I fail to see why we should be silenced. She's a public figure now, a princess, and people have the right to comment on what they see.

I think I missed an episode When Prince Hamzah re-married???....From where is Basma?any info where and when they met?

She born in Canada but her parents are from Jordan

 

[Sephora]

LOL, this is funny that some people consider it as a Hijab, come on guys don't you know how is the Hijab looks like. It is not Hijab for sure, her neck is showing. This is maybe her style. She seems like Reem who does not like to take care of her appearance. More pictures to come and we will see

I believe that nobody has the right to judge others about how they interprate how to wear Hijab, you are talking from your point of view of from of the point of view of some religious, but If you go to Saudia for example, they will tell you Hijab is covering all body and face, and the way you are describing is insulting the how hijab should be....so no need to argue with that; Basma thought doing well by covering her hair , so why you are so fussy about it.
I think nobody needs to give lessons in this matter...

Wedding of Prince Hamzah & Basmah Bani: January 12, 2012

She born in Canada but her parents are from Jordan

Thank you Salma, I sometimes disappear from TRF and miss some news ;-)

Nice, he married a jordanian, because all jordanian royal marry only foreigners, never jordanian women ;-). Is she from nobility or so?

Oh dear, you should not jump into this if you are gonna talk about Saudi. Saudi Arabia is a strict country anyway, Qur'an said clearly that a Muslim women have to cover their hair and body except hands and face. Now if Saudi Arabia is adding something on top of what Qur'an said then it is their problem. I don't blame you, you probably not Muslim and don't understand what is the religion so don't talk about something you don't know.. Basma is insulting Islam by covering her hair and showing her neck if she is really covered as a Muslim but if this is her style then I am not a fan of this weird style IMO. Oh and she is insulting herself, now people are saying bad, horrible things about her I don't think some people respect her anymore

 

[NoorMeansLight]

I feel a bit sorry for her now. Apparently she wasn't prepared for the role and wasn't aware of the Jordanians' notion and way of thinking. Someone has to advise her soon in order to protect herself from any further negative exposure. I wish her well!

That's very funny and very telling....first you judge Basma, and now you are judging me???...You don't know anything about me, and my religion, and apparently I know more than you about Islam, regarding how you talk and how you permiss yourself to judge people. You are not God to judge people my dear.

I know what's written in Coran about this matter, the word used is "khemar", and religious interpretations differs from covering only hair, arms, neck, to all body....So please don't give yourself the knowldge that you don't have, because you have choosen to follow an interpretation rather than other...

You dear you are harsh and severe regarding Bassma who covered her hair, but you never said a word about the women from the same jordanian family (lebanese, syrians or palestinians) who don't cover any hair , any sleeves and so on...so if you want to use Islam and religion to judge people, use it proprely and equally or leave it....

I think we understood, you don't like Basma for some reason, or because she's jordanian, and you will find on her all the bad things that a woman can have, she's not beautiful and ugly , she's not enough muslim, her marriage is political etc...come on stop it, that's ridiculous!!!

I feel a bit sorry for her now. Apparently she wasn't prepared for the role and wasn't aware of the Jordanians' notion and way of thinking. Someone has to advise her soon in order to protect herself from any further negative exposure. I wish her well!

Don't think so at all...It's only empty fuss...When I think about Rania who lived all her life in arab/muslim countries and knew how they think, and although of that, she exposed herself in bikini and sleeveless dresses...Now I think that jordanians must be thankful to Basma who lived all her life in Western countries and took the initiative to cover her hair as a respect for muslim jordanians, and second because she's the first jordanian commoner woman to be married to a member of the royal family. She's doing a good job, and she's representing good jordanian women.

IMO, she is choosing to be in the spotlight. She did this well before her marriage, on a much lower level obviously.

 

[salma]

No Kitty we have seen her wearing bikini one and swimsuit.

 

[kitty17]

I stand corrected then, thanx! The only pic that I remember was the red bathing suit.

 

[Sephora]

Correction: Rania has never exposed herself in a bikini! She was wearing a one piece bathing suit in a private vacation.

Sure Rania was in a private vacation, but those photos were taken by paprazzis had showen her wearing a bikini twice (one was green if I recall) on a yacht and an other time wearing a one piece red swimsuit , but she was exposed to other males who are not her "mouhram"(husband, kids, brothers, father, uncle).

For Muslims, a muslim woman doesn't show her skin to other male, and in those pictures, even if they were from a private trip, they showed other males who are friends and yacht stuff, so what you call that, it's not exposition???...I don't care about what Rania did or not, but I am just laughing when I see some people being rude to Basma who covered her hair and not her neck....

Don´t worry As Sephora wrote we have seen her wearing the red suimsuit, and in three times wearing a bikini but she is not the only Jordanian woman royal that we see in swimsuit.

Thank you Salma, I just talked about the example of Rania because she's the Queen of Jordan, and she's more exposed than other royal women, of course I am not judging her it's her business, but in comparison with Basma, it's just unfair that people are extremly rude and unfair towards her, the way she did, she apparently covered her hair from her owm initiative and with good intention thinking of respect for jordanian muslims, but don't believe that there is people who call that isulting Islam!!!!

[sheikah deena]

Is That True Princess Basmah al Hamzah Wearing Hijab ? I Really Surprised

 

[Amoula]

there is no stages for a Hijab. u wear it or u don't. Also in Islam it is very unreligious to try to appear what u are not. before her marriage Basma wore open clothes and she has a reputation of being outgoing and western. In 3 month u don't change and wear veil. sorry but this is just a show especially she is doing this not properly in tight clothes. this is wrong step from Prince Hamzah.

Agreed! Couldn't have said it better.

 

[Amoula]

She remains Jordanian , not as if she comes from Paris! Don't make me list the family for you,lol,trust me you don't want to know!!!
Now cause she's Hamzah's wife I respect her and admire her for the good deeds she's doing so far, her trying to keep a low profile and look modest is not a bad start as long as she doesn't go "too low" or else it will be obvious they are putting a show to overcome what Jordan is currently going through and all the bashing the RJF is receiving.

Completely Agree With you Dahliah

 

[countess77]

sephora there are many royals who married Jordians! Prince Hamzah's first wife was a Jordanian Princess Noor and so is Princess Alia and Princess Taghreed. Basmah is not the first and she is more canadian, barely speaking arabic. Now for those who think it is fine to mention or even compare her to the other prinesses like Rym or Fahdah we shouldn't forget that these women were already very very accomplished and most of the princesses did great things before they got titles. her job as a pilot doesn;t really contribute to society but is commendable.Princess Zeina is represented Jordan in the olympics and no one feels she is fussing about her achievements. so i feel comparing Basmah to them won't do her justice. as for mentioning queen Rania i have to say that in her own words Basmah said that Rania was her "role model" when she worked for King Abdullah's foundation.her hijab is half hearted not a fashion thing which IMO only means this is an image attempt to get atention at a time when Jordan is going through major political issues. Amoula is right. Basmah is 33, she is older than Prince Hamzah, not from nobility or a big tribe and she worked for the Prince Hamzah club as a pilot.her father immigrated to Canada when he was 18 and we don't know if her mother is Jordanian. they met when there was a rumour he was getting engaged to someone non Jordanian. they had a quick marriage surprising everyone. people are not attacking her they don't know her, but really she is old enough to understand the culture she is trying to be part of.from bikinis and wearing open clothes to work and then suddenly a bad hijab means she is ignorant or feels above tradition.I dont care if Prince Hamzah married a Jordanian or chinese as long as she bothers to learn about the culture. Lets not talk about religion as it is personal & perhaps she will have better luck next time.

 

[Kleio]

You're right! If she has married a royal, obviously she has to be in the spotlight. What I mean is that we should try to be less hard. Whatever the job you have, when you start it and you are unexperienced you can make mistakes. She was a commoner who has become a royal by marriage, so she has to learn many things and that needs time... As I said, I think she just tries to find her own style and her intention has never been to offend anyone. That's my opinion.

 

[Sephora]

sephora there are many royals who married Jordians! Prince Hamzah's first wife was a Jordanian Princess Noor and so is Princess Alia and Princess Taghreed. Basmah is not the first .

Nour is from royal family, and she's barely 1/4 jordanian, as for Taghreed her father was a prime minister, so I meant this is the first time somebody in the jordanian royal family marries a jordanian commoner, not royal connections or so...

for mentioning queen Rania i have to say that in her own words Basmah said that Rania was her "role model" when she worked for King Abdullah's foundation..

Of course she will say it's her role model, do you excpect that she will say she doesn't agree with her in some thing
Also Rania was exposed wearing swimsuits while she was already queen, not Basma who tries to show her respect towards jordanian people's way of thinking. It's like a non muslim who wears scarf when entring in a mosque, it's a form of repect...

her hijab is half hearted not a fashion thing which IMO only means this is an image attempt to get atention at a time when Jordan is going through major political issues.

She wore swimsuits and revealant clothes before that's fine, I am not judging her nor Rania, but that she shows goodwill and make efforts to show her respect to jordanian people, I can just encourage her.

I dont care if Prince Hamzah married a Jordanian or chinese as long as she bothers to learn about the culture. Lets not talk about religion as it is personal & perhaps she will have better luck next time.

That was not the point, I just said that jordanian must be thankful of her that she's jordanian and making effort to represent them well, because before everybody was saying why jordan royals never marry jordan women, so here's one who's trying to do well, so we must to encourage her.
