Satin is a weave that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. It is a warp-dominated weaving technique that forms a minimum number of interlacings in a fabric. If a fabric is formed with a satin weave using filament fibres such as silk, nylon, or polyester, the corresponding fabric is termed a satin, although some definitions insist that the fabric be made from silk.[1] If the yarns used are short-staple yarns such as cotton, the fabric formed is considered a sateen.
A satin-woven fabric tends to have a high luster due to the high number of floats on the fabric. Floats are missed interlacings, where the warp yarn lies on top of the weft yarn, or vice versa. The floats tend to make the fabric look glossier as well as give it a smoother surface.
Many variations can be made of the basic satin weave including a granite weave and a check weave. Satin weaves, twill weaves, and plain weaves are the three basic types of weaving by which the majority of woven products are formed.
Satin is commonly used in apparel: satin baseball jackets, athletic shorts, women's lingerie, nightgowns, blouses and evening gowns, but also in some men's boxer shorts, shirts and neckties. It is also used in the production of pointe shoes for use in ballet. Other uses include interior furnishing fabrics, upholstery, and bed sheets.
[edit] OriginsOriginally, during the middle ages, satin was made of silk; consequently it was very expensive, used only by the upper classes. The name derives its origin from the Chinese port city of Quanzhou, whose name form in (Mediaeval) Arabic was Zayton.[2] During the latter part of the Middle Ages, it was a major shipping port of silk, using the maritime Silk Road to reach Europe.

The power of Satin?
Quote:"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
1. When the earth is shaken with its (final) earthquake.2. And when the earth throws out its burdens,3. And man will say: "What is
the matter with it?"4. That Day it will declare its information (about all what happened over it of good or evil).5. Because your Lord
has inspired it.6. That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their deeds.7. So whosoever does
good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.8. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a
small ant), shall see it.
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
1. Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection),2. What is the striking (Hour)?3. And what will make you know what the
striking (Hour) is?4. It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about,5. And the mountains will be like carded wool,
6. Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,7. He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).8. But as for him whose
balance (of good deeds) will be light,9. He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).10. And what will make you know what it is?
11. (It is) a hot blazing Fire!
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
1. Say (O Muhammad ()): "He is Allah, (the) One.2. "Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither
eats nor drinks).3. "He begets not, nor was He begotten;4. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
1. I swear by the Day of Resurrection 2. And I swear by the self-reproaching person (a believer) 3. Does man (a disbeliever) think
that We shall not assemble his bones? 4. Yes, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers 5. Nay! (Man denies
Resurrection and Reckoning. So) he desires to continue committing sins 6. He asks: "When will be this Day of Resurrection?" 7.
So, when the sight shall be dazed 8. And the moon will be eclipsed 9. And the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one
into the other or folded up or deprived of their light, etc.) 10. On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?"11. No! There
is no refuge!12. Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day 13. On that Day man will be informed of what he sent
forward (of his evil or good deeds), and what he left behind (of his good or evil traditions) 14. Nay! Man will be a witness against
himself [as his body parts (skin, hands, legs, etc.) will speak about his deeds]15. Though he may put forth his excuses (to cover his
evil deeds) 16. Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an, O Muhammad ) to make haste therewith 17. It is for Us to collect it and
to give you (O Muhammad ) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an)18. And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad through Jibrael
(Gabriel)], then follow you its (the Qur'an's) recital 19. Then it is for Us (Allah) to make it clear to you20. Not [as you think, that you
(mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but (you men) love the present life of this world 21. And leave
(neglect) the Hereafter 22. Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant) 23. Looking at their Lord (Allah) 24. And some
faces, that Day, will be Basirah (dark, gloomy, frowning, and sad) 25. Thinking that some calamity was about to fall on them 26. Nay,
when (the soul) reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit) 27. And it will be said: "Who can cure him and save him
from death?" 28. And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of departing (death) 29. And leg will be joined with
another leg (shrouded) 30. The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allah)!31. So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in this
Qur'an, in the Message of Muhammad ) nor prayed!32. But on the contrary, he belied (this Qur'an and the Message of Muhammad )
and turned away! 33. Then he walked in full pride to his family admiring himself!34. Woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then
(again) woe to you! 35. Again, woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you! 36. Does man think that he will be left
Suda [neglected without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allah) on him]?37. Was he not
a Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge of semen) poured forth?38. Then he became an 'Alaqa (a clot); then (Allah) shaped and
fashioned (him) in due proportion39. And made him in two sexes, male and female40. Is not He (Allah Who does that), Able to give
life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).

Salaam,
I accept the divine origin of the Quran, but what you are doing, is that you're spamming here by copy and pasting large texts from another website. This is against the forum guidelines.
And if you're someone just pretending to be a Muslim, to purposely make us look stupid (by posting like this), then, I think your attempt is a pretty lame and a useless one.
Lastly, you'll be banned anytime and your spams will be deleted.
It's been reported, we'll take it from here Rayaan. Back to the topic.
So ummm... do they have plaid satin? Anyone ever seen a tweed satin blend?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
