Topic: What really is the justification for Hijab?

[The Full Moon]

Dear Brothers and sisters

Hijab is an obligation, and true Muslim ladies will put it to follow the orders of our Creator.

It is as simple as that, and therefore I do not understand what is the big fuss over.

Allah created us and he knows what is best for us, and he will reward us or punish us according to the rules that he made very clear which he reveled to us through his messenger Muhammad peace be upon him.

May Allah strengthen our belief, and make our obedience to all his orders. Amen.

salam

You are absolutely correct. However, your words for the most part will fall on deaf ears. Most of the so-called "Muslims" on these forums are so mired in legalistic tradition and idiocy they can't see past their own noses.

Much in the same way that Constantine and the later Catholics ruined Christianity, these people have ruined Islam with their legalistic garbage that not only reflect the inherent cultural flaws of the Arabs but their own insecurities.

Read the Q'uran for yourself then ask yourself how half the nonsense spewed here is even in those verses. Hint: IT ISN'T.

Islam is not dead, it just needs to go back to its original glory before the Arabs screwed it up. One of these steps is to stop forcing women to wear hijab.

It's just as bad to go out of the way to conceal yourself as it is to make yourself as an object to be leered at on stage.

Dear Exterminatus:

For the most part, I agree with what you say. However, I must tell you that I do not find the way you say it very agreeable. I have no idea what your individual circumstances are that lead you to your conclusions or choice of words; I dare say it is easy to be frustrated with the failures of the Muslim World. But I also dare say it is even easier to buy a little too much into deliberate anti-Muslim propaganda and forget that the systematic attack on ordinary Muslims had been continued for the better part of a century. I don't think is it productive to be too judgmental or harsh on a beleaguered society under constant attack from many sides, within and without.

If you truly are interested in rising above mudslinging and getting your point across as well as listening to the other side of the story, I beg you to be at least attempt to be more cordial.

Islam is not dead by the farthest stretch of the imagination. Individual Muslims today are achieving a lot more than their ancestors have, even despite the current political crisis. I think most indicators point to a remarkable Muslim reinvigoration in our lifetime. This is not the time to "write off," degrade or denigrate Muslims, it is time to encourage them to seek their destiny as a great people with a bright future. I think most people on this forum are here not just to make their voices heard, but also to listen to others. Nothing would be a greater sign of ignorance than to proclaim the hackneyed stereotype that Arabs are stupid, insecure and stubborn. Let's not forget it is Arab courage and intellect that spread the word of Islam to a quarter of the World's population, kept the flame of human civilization brightly burning as Europe immersed itself in Barbarism for more than a thousand years, and successfully defeated the triple scourges of Colonialism, Communism and Western moral decadence/soulless capitalism.

I hope you can see my plea to you as a suggestion from a friend and ally who is interested in listening...by the way, I would prefer to address you by your real name instead of a dubious alias like “Exterminatus” – with all due respect, it hardly engenders logical discussion or tolerance.

Sincerely,

Reza

No doubt this topic of covering face and hands is compulsory or not become a very hot topic all around.
May Allah guide us to the straight path.ameen,.

Sorry, I'm just fed up.



I've been exposed to one too many phonies claiming to be the spokesperson of their religion whenin fact they are not.




I don't like anti-Muslim propoganda either, nor to I like the jerks who propogate it.




Quite the contrary, I believe that it is pertinent that societies which are failing to receive harsh criticism. If only Rome had benefitted from external invective.



Point taken, sorry about that.


I agree



I am not denigrating Muslims, but rather people who call themselves Muslims. A great people can only rise if ignorance and legalism are dissipated.



Arabs are not stupid, insecure, or stubborn, but their current culture which has nothing to do with the Islam of the past is very much ignorant, insecure, and stubborn.



Indeed. It's time we returned the favor.

Bravo, my friend, it takes a brave man to realize and admit their mistakes! I know it is hard, but do not give up patience...the truth is not really that hard to establish, it just takes some honest effort that is well worth it.

Assalamalikum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuhu

May Allah guide us to the right path Ameen..

There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah

My question still stands. Provide me solidly documented proof that the Quran supports Hijab. If you choose to use Sunnah or well-established fatwas or studies, be prepared to be questioned and validate what you say if you are to win a logical argument.

abdur-Rahaman

I did not read the whole thread, I didn't even read your whole post here, in shaa Allah I'll read it later, but I just wanted to give you the proof from the Qur'an that wearing Hijab is obligatory upon every accountable Muslim.

the ayah is:  æáíÖÑÈä ÈÎãÑåä Úáì ÌíæÈåä    

wal yadribna bikhumurihinna ^ala juyubihinna

Thsi ayah is the proof, and it's very clear for those who understand arabic.

Peace Mercy and blessings of Allah subhanahu wa tala be on all of you

This topic has become best selling article for media all around....

YOu come to see this news every day in some or the orher part of the world.

[Muhammad Emmad]

Here are some verses of Quran which show the importance of hijab in Islam.

"And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their head coverings to cover their bosoms, and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent…" (Surah An Nur: 31)

"O Prophet! Say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw their outer garments close around themselves; that is better that they will be recognized and not annoyed. And God is ever Forgiving, Gentle." (Surah al-Ahzab: 59)
