About The Turquoise Scarf

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the Internet!

Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Rubina Hassan, and I am the person behind The Turquoise Scarf.

I began The Turquoise Scarf a little over a decade ago, in 2009.

I began mainly to record my travels around South Africa, as well as overseas.

Than expanded into food as I began to cook and bake simple as well as exotic dishes, and it has grown again, including Islamic lifestyle, beauty and home updates.

As a Niqaabi Muslimah, I hope to inspire every woman that subscribes or visits this site, to follow their dreams and aspirations and be adventurous, while very much being a Muslimah.

To try something new, something daunting, something exciting, and something different!

As the seasons go by, I hope to open a new chapter each month sharing my latest loves, discoveries and thoughts, as well as travels with my amazing husband, Talhah.

Inspired by nature, family, travel and many hours on YouTube, I hope to provide you with a space to share practical information on all things related to leading an Islamic lifestyle, whilst still out enjoying the simple pleasures of life.. if not, than at least I hope this is a place you can turn to for some much needed escapism as you sip your favourite drink of the day, seated in your favourite place.

I’m incredibly happy and grateful for the community that we’ve been building together on here and would be so glad if you’ve decided to join the TTS family.

I would love to hear from you, from ideas to feedback to just saying Salaam / hello, my inbox is always open and I will personally respond to you, as soon as I can.

For now, I hope you enjoy having a look around and finding some interesting posts.

I look forward to sharing more of my world with you here on my blog.

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
