Kufis and You!

Whats a Kufi?
In West Africa, a kufi cap is the traditional hat for men. The kufi has no religious significance. It is worn equally by Christians, Muslims, African Jews, and followers of African traditional religion. Many grandfathers and other older men wear a kufi everyday to symbolize their status as wise elders, religious people, or family patriarchs. Among Africa's Muslims, kufis are worn for Friday prayers, by religious men, and those who have performed the Muslim pilgrimage.
Within the United States, it has become identified with persons of African descent, who wear it to show pride in their culture, history, and religion. Often made of kente cloth, mudcloth, or knitted in a variety of yarns, kufis became popular fashion items throughout hip hop culture during the late-1980s/early-1990s

There's nothing in the Quran against kufis, but you'd have to have pretty bad taste to wear one. It's smart to wear those big hats Mexican people wear because they serve a very practical purpose protecting you from the sun which causes skin cancer, premature aging, and headaches.

That would be a Sombrero, Supernaut. Good hat too, get a mexican poncho and find any tree in arizona to sleep under. No one bothers you.

Salaam!!!
Would anyone have an objection to a Qur'anist dawning a Kufi?Peace,
Respectfully.Are those the caps sunnis wear?
Because i would never wear one and only because they remind me of Jews who wear them and i strongly believe that sunnis took that from the Jews.
I think, i don't know.Peace.
