I kept wearing a jubba too.. (only in masjid), but over my shorts so it felt really good :k:

Guys who wear long dress shirts:

Aren’t you emulating women which is haram in islam?

@Jolie

Everyone was preaching tolerance and respect for Hijab under all sorts of freedom after two Hijabi sisters were killed in North Carolina. It’s pretty sickening to see Pakistanis living in increasingly Islamophobic countries speaking like Neo-Nazis and equating Hijab/beard with extremism and betrayal of national values.

Honestly speaking, I am generally getting fed of Karachiites who generalise all the doom and gloom, depression of a chaotic and violent metropolis to the whole of Pakistan. It’s like they don’t think that Pakistan goes beyond a certain city. Perhaps they need to step outside of Karachi to see the real colours, beauty, diversity, energy, culture, sense of community and traditions of a huge country called Pakistan.

Well, to be a devil’s advocate, Karachi is a mini-Pakistan and more with rohingyas, bengalis, chinese muslims?, afghans of all sorts and iranians living there in large numbers. There are some iranians that live in lahore but karachi is a true melting pot which can be bad as well if not handled properly.

As for hijab issue, I don’t think that PCG said to shoot hijabis or abayis. Murder is another issue all together.

To be honest, I would say even in front of goras that burqa is not required in islam. None of the sunni schools say so, even the sha’afi school that asks women to cover feet in prayers, so burqa is an overkill. I was sort of scared in school because this all enveloped in black saudi girl was moving, but then I saw a white hand and put 2+2 together and figured out that she wasn’t ‘burqa mullah’.

Islam gives you options so why go extreme with it and get targeted for it? Burqa is not necessary and so is cousin marriage. Be it zakat or sadqa, Islam also emphasizes to give your needy relatives first or a neighbor as aptly said in english that CHARITY STARTs at HOME. But in the criterion for finding a wife (or husband), it never mentions that first or second cousins have a right first to get married to you or you won’t be a good muslim. Of course, now we know that it isn’t good genetically to do so as you get recessive allele diseases with too much mixing in the family.
